I'm honored to be speaking at the @DiversityFL #WomenInLeadershipSymposium about my experiences with resilience, advocacy & breaking barriers. With continued awareness, we can create a world where everyone has an equal chance to succeed, regardless of their gender or background.

As we close out 2022, I've reflected on all that we have done as a firm this year. Though 2020 & 2021 were challenging years marked by historical events & unforeseen changes to our work & home lives, in 2022 it felt like we settled into a *NEW* normal - and, I really liked it.

The importance of good cyber security starts early. Today I spoke to my daughter’s 3rd-grade class and stressed the importance of strong passwords, including the do’s and don’ts. It is never too early to start this practice in today's complex online world.

While in NYC recently, I was able to catch up with a great client, see a few SchellmaNators, and enjoy some quality Italian food. Glad I was able to make the trip and stay a little longer for this visit.

This resonated with me while at #YPOEdge: “Never default to silence to address bias.” @trier Bryant Like the Simon & Garfunkel song, The Sound of Silence, we need to resist the indifference that can pop up in the workplace. If we remain silent, we will never move forward.

The words of wisdom from #YPOEdge were electric last week. “Foundation of all relationships is authenticity, logic, and empathy.” Frances Frei
.@paragkhanna had a great quote at #YPOEdge - “As a leader today you have to be fluent in geopolitics, geoeconomics, and geotechnology.”

Fluency is more than speaking the same language; it’s knowing how to understand a person beyond words. We should see our employees for who they are, not always the output they create. #YPOEdge

“Leaders need to find a way to bring our authentic and real self to work. We need to be a mission driven leader.” – Anjali Sud (@anjsud), CEO of @Vimeo And, I 110% agree with this! #YPOEdge

That why I support our employees at @Schellman to bring their authentic self to work. I do my best to practice what I preach. #YPOEdge

Her words are a great reminder, and resonate more coming from someone I identify with! Anjali is a CEO of Vimeo, has young kids (recently had a baby), and is of Indian descent with her parents immigrating to the US from India before Anjali was born. #YPOEdge
