Be Inquisitive
“The capacity to always be learning, ever the students of life. To walk in humility knowing that you are not the smartest person in the room, but knowing how to mobilize the right team and people ensures that you are open to the fullness of life.”
Be Confident
“The power and confidence in knowing your true authentic self, knowing your voice, and speaking your truth so that you are heard. You lead by example with assertiveness, giving you a sense of empowerment and confidence.”

Deadlines Can Be Moved
Have you ever asked why something is done a certain way and been given the response, “That’s how we’ve always done it.”? I guess that’s a good idea if one is attempting to preserve some kind of sacred tradition, but it’s not the best way to run a company. Unfortunately, I think many organizations are operating under this premise when it comes to many things, at the detriment of their employees. We’ve discussed both the reality of burnout among workers as well as the need for leaders to be empathetic, and both of those topics could be more closely addressed in regard to the need for companies to be more flexible.

Working Moms

Many organizations are working to help make the post-maternity transition back to work better. We are excited to highlight some of these dedicated, hardworking companies ensuring the success of moms at work in this week’s blog.
