Apologies for the radio silence. I had elbow surgery which resulted in an infection. Between the meds and the uncertainty about recovery, I’ve needed some time off. Thanks for understanding.

This is a ‘slide’ from Think with Google’s Diversity in the Workplace short. I’ve mentioned this barrier in terms of women. Seems no different for people of color. The data is from the Center for Talent Innovation (CIT) report on Being Black in Corporate America (opens as a PDF). From the report… “There are notContinue reading “Always looking up”

Notorious RBG, finally. Most powerful quotation thus far: “…Laws which disable women from full participation in the political, business and economic areas are often referred to as “protective” and beneficial. Those same laws applied to racial or ethnic minorities would readily be recognized as invidious and impermissible. The pedestal upon which women have been placedContinue reading “What I’m reading”

I heard Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms say this afternoon that she’s going to let her daughter stay up late to see Kamala Harris’ speech tonight, accepting the Democratic VP nomination. It’s one of those moments. In a Fairygodboss’ panel today on women in STEM, Mandy Spohrer from J&J said that one of the biggestContinue reading “One giant leap”

I registered for the Verizon Media Series’ New Leadership Playbook event featuring Connie Orlando because I was excited about the topic: Hear how the award-winning, visionary executive leads with purpose, builds resilient teams, and tackles pressing issues like social injustice and racism head-on. The event was sponsored by The Female Quotient. I was extremely disappointed withContinue reading “Pointless drivel?”

The above comments are from Trish Regan, a former Fox Business talk show host. So yeah, let’s get that out of the way quickly. She’s a staunch supporter of President Trump, and she was fired from Fox Business after claiming the Democrats were hyping the Coronavirus for political gain. You can Google her all youContinue reading “Firsts”

For me, the highlight of last night’s Gather’s Alpha Girls panel was listening to Shellye Archambeau. She didn’t say much, but what she did say resonated. I’ll provide a link to a recording of the event when it’s released. But here’s one quotation from Shellye: “The impact and the value that comes from giving. ManyContinue reading “Unapologetically Ambitious”

From the email announcement: “As a first step towards increasing our impact, we’re excited to launch the 81cents Resource Library – a community-maintained wiki of negotiation guidance sourced from our community.” “We’ve been told over and over again that the best practices found online are generic and scattered. Our hope with the 81cents Resource Library is to haveContinue reading “81cents launches resource center”

The organizations covered in The List host a ton of virtual events. Webinars and virtual events can often be a waste of time, but if you put together the right host, speaker/panel, topic, and have a smart interaction with the audience, these events can be great. Just last week I highlighted an awesome panel onContinue reading “Events For Women, By Women”

Expect me to seem and sound all over the place for a while. I’ve learned that this randomness or lack of focus is how I process the many opportunities ahead. I need this crazy mindspace to connect the dots / read the tea leaves and hone in on what’s most important. So bear with me.Continue reading “Writing”
