"Corporate values" need to be a part of a defined corporate culture.  Denise Yohn  makes some excellent points in this piece on how to think about the values you choose.

“I must learn to love the fool in me--the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of my human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my Fool.” Theodore Isaac Rubin …see more

Three reasons not to miss next week's award-winning Live with Marketers show from LinkedIn at #CMWorld next week: 1. Michael Brenner 2. Alexandra Rynne 3. Me! We'll answer questions like: - What is the meaning of life? - Is free will real or just an illusion? - Do dogs dream? - Is suffering part of the human condition? ... no, I jest, but we'll definitely talk about LinkedIn, and the kind of content strategy for this platform that works, what topics your business should delve into (even when they're hot button issues), and maybe along the way find the meaning of existence. You'll just have to watch to find out. Wednesday, September 4 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT RSVP for the livestream here (or get the recording later): …see more

Scientists may be on the verge of discovering why sleep deprivation kills, and they found the answer in a surprising place.

Yesterday, I did a quick, informal poll that asked a few questions about what you were and were not willing to do last night.

Kudos to front-line workers who top the most influential Torontonians list, a list that grants five positions to basketball and none to hockey.

Courses like this are also trauma responsive -- enabling students to address the issues in the world at present. These courses can also be structured as pop-ups. The key, here, as noted in some, is the interdisciplinary nature of COVID and its impact across the disciplines. Sadly, there is much to be learned and much that can be explored in fields ranging from the sciences to sociology and social work and business and government, among others. …see more

How much trauma can we handle? Pandemic and now protests. When do we break as opposed to bend? https://lnkd.in/eHEuDkj . Comments welcomed. Images within piece speak too.

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
