5 things / John Lewis


Hi there -

This week I reflected on part of an essay from the late, great Congressman John Lewis: 

"In the last days and hours of my life you inspired me. You filled me with hope about the next chapter of the great American story when you used your power to make a difference in our society. Millions of people motivated simply by human compassion laid down the burdens of division. Around the country and the world you set aside race, class, age, language and nationality to demand respect for human dignity."


I'm really glad that John Lewis died an inspired and hopeful man, but of course there's so much work still to do -- and there's a lot we can do in the workplace to truly move the needle towards equality. That quote encapsulates part of my "why" and professional mission -- to inspire others with the tools to treat people with dignity, even when they don't realize they aren't already doing it. 

Here are some other things I enjoyed learning this week:


That's all for this week. Have a great one, and thanks for all you do to build a more inclusive world.

All the best-
