Setting [Monday] #goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. 💫💡 #MotivationMonday #OneStepAtATime #Success #JuniorAchievement #Achieve #BelieveinYourself Learn about the 2018 #WashBizHOF Laureates✨: The JBG Companies Founding Partners. Meet Donald Brown, Joseph Gildenhorn, and Benjamin Jacobs... . •Did you have a mentor or a role model over the course of your career? . Donald: “Yes, I did have a mentor from a very early age that taught me all the important things I needed to know about people. He taught me to love and respect everybody regardless of race, color, or education and his greatest joy was helping friends and family in trouble. He was the greatest role model and also my father.” . Joseph: “My name is Joseph B. Gildenhorn. My initials are JBG. However, in my professional life, I am the “G” in JBG; part of a trio of my partners, Donald Brown and Benjamin Jacobs for nearly six decades. What a journey it has been! We originally built a law practice, and in the 60s it evolved into a real estate development firm. Over the years, we mentored one another by collaborating on every decision that was made. Loyalty, trust and expertise guided us, and we made purposeful decisions for each project that was put forward. Our warm bond has endured to this day.” . Benjamin: “The role models of my career have been my wife, Gail, Donald, Joe and my many partners. My mentors, in the sense of from whom I learned, all my many colleagues at The JBG Companies and JBG SMITH that I’ve had the good fortune of working with these past 55 years.” . *Full Q&A link in bio!* Enjoying all of our favorite things today: Food, family, fun (and JA!) Another annual JAGW Staff Potluck Picnic is in the books! 🐶🌭👨‍👩‍👧🥗🏈 It's time for our first #WashBizHOF Learn about the Laureate feature! Meet Dr. Sachiko Kuno, Founder & Chair of Halcyon... Q: What’s the one thing you want the Greater Washington business community to know about your company this year? Sachiko: “Halcyon seeks and celebrates creativity in all forms and galvanizes creative individuals aspiring to promote social good. We bring together diverse groups of changemakers in art and social enterprise and provide a safe haven for their bold ideas to take flight. Halcyon offers an ecosystem of advocacy that encourages socially engaged creatives to learn, freely experiment, sometimes fail, and advance their talents and visions. In doing so, we foster new pathways to knowledge and resources, and help innovators transform their inspiration into impact. We started the first program, Halcyon Incubator, in 2014 for social start-up ventures, followed by Halcyon Dialogue in 2016 to promote and facilitate the discussions among innovative global leaders, and Halcyon Art Lab in 2017 to support civic-minded artists. In 2018, Halcyon produced a new, inaugural international arts and dialogue festival throughout D.C., themed around America’s founding ideals - Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. This is By The People Festival, and what I want the Greater Washington business community to know about Halcyon this year.” Q: If you could choose one person, living or dead, to have dinner with, who would it be? Sachiko: “El Greco in a small restaurant in Toledo, Spain (two of us). I first saw El Greco’s paintings in Toledo, Spain, during my visit there when I was 20 years old. This was my first trip outside Japan. It left such a strong impression and gave me, who only knew Japan at that time, a foundation of courage to seek and experience outside.” Q: What do you think is the single greatest challenge facing the next generation? Sachiko: “Uncertainty under the condition that everything is changing exponentially is the greatest challenge facing the next generation. However, this challenge can offer great opportunity as well.” *Full Q&A via link in bio* These kids began the week as high school students, and finished the week as #entrepreneurs✨ Congratulations to the students who participated in the 2018 JA Entrepreneurship Summit & Pitch Competition!
