#PayAttention to organizations seeking recognition by writing checks, hanging window signs, signing up to support big initiatives BUT HAVE YET to announce one thing they are changing in their own org. #Deflection #WokeWashing

Today isn't every woman's equal pay day:
85 cents: The amount for Asian women
77 cents: The amount for white women
61 cents: The amount for black women
58 cents: The amount for Native American women
53 cents: The amount for Hispanic women
A win for the culture + an amazing milestone for @walkercobrands. P&G acquires the makers of @bevel and @formbeauty and the team will relocate to ATL #bigmoves

Let's stop praising men for simply acknowledging they have a child.
It's pathetic. Fatherhood should be celebrated, embraced by the men lucky enough to experience it. We have an important role to play, not just for our families, but in society.

At fast growing companies there is often a lot of rapid change.
As a leader you're constantly making trade-offs on how much change management process to inject vs YOLO/figure it out on the fly.
One thing I've learned: Never YOLO the communications plan. Never.

Leaders,
Vulnerability isn’t weakness. It’s strength. Admitting that you don’t know how to solve #DiversityandInclusion isn’t weak. It’s realistic. No one knows how to. – at Los Angeles, CA
