You know I love a good list, and this one concerns a topic many working professionals should be aware of — communication. How effectively we can communicate is even more important now that so many of us are working remotely. Fast Company has put together a short list of important things to consider as you work to master this valuable soft skill. #communication #mediatraining #KellyeMedia …see more

The funding balance side of this story is pretty pathetic. But one hopes that, at the very least, the efficiency demonstrated my female founders will lead to greater investment levels. #funding #startups #venturecapital

i do echo that sentiment. i think the US credit card business is so darn profitable that about every incumbent actor in payments does not want change, does not feel the need for change in the US. #payments #fintech …see more

Rather than spend millions of dollars trying to literally redefine a word, perhaps Overstock.com  should consider a new name instead? #brand #branding #naming #overstock #advertising

This week has been Apple, Apple, and... more Apple. But there's still a lot of Apple that we DON'T know. Here's a good roundup of everything we thought we'd see at this week's #AppleEvent ... but didn't.

Under the measure, workers must be designated as employees instead of contractors if a company exerts control over how they perform their tasks or if their work is part of a company’s regular business.

This is a solid commitment to pushing progress forward HOWEVER there is ZERO mention of professionals with disabilities 😒 Yet again, this ignored community of ambitious warriors is left out of the DEI discussion. "Nasdaq will require boards to have at least one woman and one director who self-identifies as an underrepresented minority or L.G.B.T.Q. (Those categories are not, of course, mutually exclusive.) To give companies time to comply, they will need to publicly disclose their board diversity data within a year of S.E.C. approval, and have at least one woman OR diverse director within two years. Bigger companies will be expected to have one of each type of director within four years. Companies that don’t disclose diversity information face potential delisting, while those that report their data but don’t meet the standards will have to publicly explain why. Over the past six months, Nasdaq found that more than 75% of listed companies did not meet its proposed diversity requirements." I hope NASDAQ reconsiders their communications and commitment to DEI programs by encouraging those with disabilities to apply with accessibility accommodations. https://lnkd.in/eReNkSv #diversity #inclusion #inclusiveleadership …see more
