Speed, Mass and “Firepower” – What Veterans Bring to the Workforce
I’m one of more than 21 million veterans in the U.S. today. After serving more than 20 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, I was ready to transition to the civilian workforce back in 2005. At first, I questioned how my military skillset would translate to a civilian job. However, after spending the last 11 years in the civilian workforce, I have found that my military experience has helped me thrive and actually create an entire career path.

When Big Companies Make Small Changes to Benefit the World
Every day both families and companies are presented with myriad choices that affect the environment and the globe as a whole. With each decision, come both rewards and consequences. A single family can decide to make environmentally friendly decisions such as freezing vegetables they can’t use, purchasing green cleaning products, or walking to dinner instead of driving.

Gender Balance is Our Business
The issue of gender balance touches nearly every corner of our lives – there is a collective demand for balance in politics, business and in our personal lives. But in the case of companies, gender balance should not only be addressed for the sake of equality, but also for the sake of performance.

The Key to Relevant Leadership is Continuous Learning
The business world is changing so quickly that it’s often hard to know how to keep up and help your employees cope with the pace of change. For leaders, it’s crucial to remain relevant in order to be heard and valued. Even if you have great ideas, a great mission and a vision of the future, if you’re not relevant, no one will listen, and you won’t be successful as a leader.

The Time is Now and the Responsibility is Ours: 3 Imperatives to Achieve Gender Parity
Around the world, women are increasing their contributions to social, economic, cultural and political development, but unfortunately, the progress towards gender parity significantly lags behind.

According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), 38 years have been added to their global gender parity prediction—that is, in 2014 the WEF predicted perfect gender parity would take place in 2095, and this year (2015) the prediction is pushed back to take place in 2133. The pace of progress is unacceptable and the time for change is now. This International Women’s Day, let’s explore how we can contribute to fostering female equality world-wide.

Creating a Health and Well-Being Culture: What Hospitals and Senior Communities Can Do
Recently stakeholders from strategic and geographic aligned acute care and senior living organizations came together to work collaboratively to answer the question “How can hospitals and senior living providers work better together?” Attendees of The Role of Acute Care and Senior Living in an Integrated Healthcare Delivery System Roundtable, were eager to collaborate, knowing the results could be significant. As I’ve mentioned in previous blogs, acute care hospitals and senior living providers are grappling with new realities: our elders are living longer and want to live healthier, while the government is challenging providers to do more with less.

Education

Create Your Own Professional Development Road Map
We all arrive in the workplace with our own unique set of skills and strengths. To develop your career, you have to develop those skillsets and add new ones. But because each person’s background is different, there’s no single path for professional development that’s right for everyone. What you need to focus on to get to the next level in your career may not be the same thing your colleague needs. You have to develop a unique strategy that’s right for you.
