1. Flipping the Pyramid - “Trickle Up” Values in the New World of Work
Recruiting and retaining top talent requires listening, inclusiveness, commitment - connecting at a deeper level than paychecks. When personal values aren't connected to corporate values, the chance of long term success is unlikely.
2. Sustainable Leadership – the Woman’s Way
Women have been the nucleus for families and organizations for years - consensus building, multi-tasking and driving projects to completion focused on the long game rather than short term or immediate rewards. “Feminine” qualities previously considered soft are gaining traction as companies look to create sustainable businesses. It’s never been a better time for women to lead if they are willing to own these gifts and talents without fear of reprisal.
3. From Profit to Higher Purpose
Creating both a personal brand and a product brand that reflects empathy and the genuine desire to participate in the resolution of pressing issues is now expected in a business world demanding transparency and answers. When price and quality are the same, showing empathy and an active mission to contribute directly impacts a company’s competitive edge and chance for long term success.
4. Boomerang - returning stronger and better than ever!
The fastest growing segment in our workforce today is Boomers. Companies have realized that they need their wisdom to move forward and train the next generation. And Boomers have realized that having a legacy business of their own will fill their heart accounts as full as their bank accounts. They can do well and do good!
