37. Feedback
Loved the whole virtual conference experience – was
able to pick sessions relevant to the interests of my
club members, and able to ‘attend’ without having out-of-
town travel. Thanks so much – I look forward to
future sessions.
Excellent method to distribute information to the field.
Should be a standard practice. Very informative.
Very good way to get information out to the volunteers.
Sure saved lots of time and money from not having to
travel to get this information.
I love these virtual conferences. It enables me to
participate at a time that is convenient for me and I
don’t have to travel.

WE HAVE NEVER BEEN BETTER COMMUNICATORS
Yet, the statement I get the most:
I didn’t know yall even did that…
46. Part of Our Agenda
this Week is to
Determine how to
Best Communicate
48. Connections!
Most workplaces are FAILING to provide
connection & people in the workplace feel
unconnected with each other.
81% of employees say leaders DON’T listen
82% say their leader doesn’t provide feedback
28% of employees rarely or never discuss future
goals and tasks with their boss. 70% wish they did.
36% of employees rarely or never receive
performance feedback. 67% wish they did
People who feel connected to their colleagues and
LEADER are more likely to feel good about their
jobs. And when connection happens, employees
stay with their organizations.
49. Texas 4-H is no
Different!
CONNECT
Listen
Constructive Criticism
Positive Reinforcement
Show Energy
Contagious enthusiasm
50. Questions to Ponder?
Where does this room fit?
Are we promoting volunteer utilization?
Are we celebrating volunteer empowerment?
◉NOT just the volunteer, but the CEA leading the effort.
Is it in the Perf review domain (at a high enough level)?
Is it in career ladder?
Does utilization go passed planning with volunteers?
Can we LET GO?
52. First Exercise!
Take out your envelope.
Review your goals you
submitted for performance
review?
How are you doing?
53. How can the Unit Better Serve the
Agency?
Continue to be an example of positivity, through user friendly,
innovative, FUN programs that are driven by our clientele (youth)
We are doing it…. – Creating a culture of change….Think BIG ALWAYS.
We need to foster a value of BIG THINKING at the local level,
Promote risk taking and failing forward
Model a concise, efficient, and effective method of
communicatingwith CEAs and clientele.
Work better on content development with departmentsfor
youth
Be seen as leaders in youth development research– and carefully
balancing that with the implementation of youth activities.
56. Empty your cup!
Find ways to pour
into people around
you!

MY FAVORITE
There is no special story about an individual life he saved. Nope, it was much bigger than that.
YOU SEE – DRAKO was a teacher….
According to Sonja Heritage, Drako was “my teacher” and a teacher. He taught the value of disaster search dogs to first responders in the UK and worldwide as (I learned with further research).
So, it wasn’t one life….it was a bunch!
That’s us!
