Thanks to the Office of Student Life Buckeye Leadership Fellows Program for affording the pleasure of a nutritious chicken salad complimentary lunch and the chance to listen and learn from a local, outstanding business and community leader, Matt Habash, President/CEO of The Mid-Ohio Food Bank. His leadership style is bottom up with a strengths-based emphasis, and he strives to encourage creative and innovative thinking by coming from a place of “not knowing” mindset. I learned about the organization’s use of the phrase, “Yes, and…” as a positive psychology framework in lieu of using a “No” or a “but” when it comes to challenges. Thank you, Matt, for being a friend of The Ohio State University College of Social Work, Dean Tom, and our entire community! #foodinsecurity #1in4children #1in6adults#foodisnotaprivilege #raiseminimumwage #ificannotaffordrenticannoteat
