How to Have Job Security
1. Add value to your company.
“Gentlemen, try not to become a man of success. Rather, become a man of value.” –Einstein
2. Show a sense of urgency.
Start showing a sense of urgency by acting as if the company/school belongs to you.
3. Show a positive effect.
» There are two kinds of people:
a. Those who do the work.
b. Those who take the credit.
Try to be in the first group . . . There is less competition there!
“There are two kinds of people on earth - the people who lift and the people who lean.”
–Ella Mae Wilcox
4. Show a willingness to do more.
Some people have trouble reaching the top of the ladder because they mistake it for an escalator.
5. Show unique skills.
» Don’t rely on your present skills. Look around. See what needs to be done. Determine which skills are missing in your company and acquire them for yourself.
» To successfully show unique skills, you must be willing to:
a. Grow: “Whatever you do today, do it better tomorrow.” –Robert Schuller
b. Change: “When you’re through changing, you’re through.” –Bruce Barton

The Fine Arts Center will soon be able to reach more students than ever thanks to a generous grant from Greenville Women Giving. The two-year, $81,085 grant supports the expansion of the FACs Summer Arts Intensive, which is aimed in part at serving students from Title I Middle Schools.
“The Fine Arts Center is so grateful for the support of Greenville Women Giving. This generous funding allows us to provide opportunities for students from underserved areas of Greenville County. Our goal is to provide these students not only with training, but also with the confidence to audition with us and earn the opportunity to receive a comprehensive pre-professional education in the arts,” said Vee Popat, director of the Fine Arts Center.
The Summer Arts Intensive provides students with foundational instruction in one of four areas - Architecture, Dance, Music and Visual Arts. Students from Title I Middle Schools and the GCS High Schools that serve these areas receive a full tuition scholarship and bus transportation to the Intensive. The two-year grant from GWG allows further expansion in the summer of 2024, adding more students and more areas of study for the FAC.
