Cleveland was named one of America's Best Cities according to a report by global consulting company Resonance. 🏙 The report highlighted Cleveland's appeal to young talent, featuring the city's: ➡ Revitalized and walkable downtown ➡ Diverse universities and colleges ➡ Thriving food and brewery scene ➡ Affordable housing and rental market "Few American cities boast a rebirth story like Cleveland’s. Increasingly diversified universities and colleges welcome students with open arms… and with 40-plus breweries, growing urban wineries (you read that right) and lauded restaurants that don’t just fill bellies but also mission statements. Young talent has plenty of reasons to stay, from affordable housing (ranking number 17 in our Average Rent subcategory) to a revitalized, walkable downtown of late 19th-century architecture and stately streetscapes." To rank the performance and perception of America’s best cities in 2024, Resonance analyzed a combination of core statistics and user-generated data from online sources such as Google, Tripadvisor and Instagram to measure quality of place when it comes to experiential factors. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eZMCA-kK #GreaterCLE #AllIn City of Cleveland - City Hall Destination Cleveland Downtown Cleveland Cleveland Leadership Center Team NEO Global Cleveland Engage!

Not long after Miami’s founding, it earned the moniker The Magic City for its ability to rapidly transform itself. But even for this constantly evolving urban center, the past several years have marked a new pace of change. Miami has become synonymous with growth and opportunity. Seemingly endless waves of new residents have relocated to Miami-Dade County from across the world. Businesses, investors, entrepreneurs, and immigrants have flocked to the area, drawn not by leisure pursuits but by the prospect of being at the epicenter of a dynamic business and cultural hub. Miami’s streets pulse with the talents and energy of a multicultural, cosmopolitan population. These attributes make Miami one of the best examples of the 21st Century American city. In Miami, opportunity, optimism, and tenacity have created a virtuous cycle. In January, the county’s unemployment stood at 1.4 percent—the lowest in the nation among counties with more than one million people. The city is considered one of the safest in the United States, with significant drops in crime over the past two years, and Miami’s urban school district is the top performer among the nation’s five largest districts. Today, Miami is on the cusp of cementing its status as a truly global city, on par with not just Dubai and Singapore but also London, Tokyo, and New York.

Co-founder and Board Director, focus on organizational strategy, transformation, and leadership. My objective is to enable clients to create and deploy technology solutions for scalable growth, enhanced value, success
New York, New York: A City Transformed After a decade away, I recently returned to New York City for the AWS conference. I must admit, my previous experiences had left me with a less-than-favorable impression. However, this visit completely changed my perspective. Key observations: 1. Urban development: Impressive new construction and infrastructure improvements. 2. Pedestrian-friendly: Enhanced spaces for walking, running, and biking. 3. Coffee culture: An abundance of high-quality cafes. 4. Energy and ambiance: The city exudes a palpable drive for success and innovation. 5. Business hub: A concentration of opportunities, networking, and economic activity. While navigating NYC still requires patience (walking often beats driving), the city's transformation is undeniable. The vibrant atmosphere, monumental scale, and sense of possibility are truly inspiring. This experience has reignited my appreciation for New York. I'm looking forward to spending more time in this dynamic metropolis and exploring its evolving landscape. Have you revisited a city and had your perceptions change? #NewYorkCity #UrbanDevelopment #BusinessTravel #CityTransformation

What are your key ingredients to starting the New Year on a high note?
Kicking off another year in the city that never sleeps! 🍎 For the third consecutive year, I find myself starting anew amidst the electric buzz of #NewYorkCity. This is deliberate to immerse myself in the environment that fuels my aspirations and ignites my drive. As I stand here this morning, with the iconic yellow taxis zipping by, the irresistible aroma of street food filling the air, and the dazzling billboards, I am reminded of three key ingredients to start the year on a high note: ➡️ Embrace the hustle: Just like NYC's never-ending energy, embrace every opportunity with enthusiasm and resilience. Let the city's relentless spirit inspire your professional journey. ➡️ Diversity is key: In the melting pot of cultures and ideas that New York embodies, remember to diversify your network and perspectives. New insights and collaborations are around every corner. ➡️Stay true to your goals: Amidst the city's chaos, focus on your personal and professional objectives. Let the city's ambition reinforce your own. Here's to another year of inspiration and achievement fueled by the heart of NYC. 🎯🖤 #newyear2024 #inspiration #goalsetting #smallcapstocks #dreambigworkhard #capitalmarkets #digitalmarketing

Source: Axios - May 23, 2024 From the article: "Seattle is breaking into the big leagues, with new recognition as one of the top cities in the world. "Why it matters: Despite A+ natural beauty, the city has been hampered by its traffic, lagging transit options, slow downtown recovery and a well-intentioned participatory democracy called the "Seattle process" that makes it hard to get things done fast. "Driving the news: But a new ranking of cities from Oxford Economics that gives Seattle the sixth-highest Global Cities Index score — behind only New York, London, San Jose, Tokyo and Paris — shines a spotlight on the Emerald City's strengths." #Seattle #Ecconomy #EconnomicGrowth #EmeraldCity #SeattleProud.

Keynote & TEDx Speaker | Consultant | Joy-bringer 🔅Helping teams & leaders solve conflict, cultivate communication, & create Joyosity™ — positive culture with complex people so engagement is high & you retain employees.
The root of crappy leadership is fear. Over eggs, toast, and coffee this morning, Asim and I talked about what it takes to gather a group of people and get them moving toward a positive, unified goal. Clearly one of his strengths because he's done several times in his career, Asim reminded me of the power of understanding the collective benefit of working together when we just decide that's what we're going to do. I saw many examples of bravery, excitement, and success from his experiences. (As a part of our chat, he shared this article from Steve Smith in the St. Louis Business Journal as a response to a The Wall Street Journal article on STL.) These regional issues are the same issues I see within many organizations. They're because a leader and/or group of people are operating from a place of fear. Fear keeps people and organizations not just stagnant, but eventually dry and dusty places where life used to be. What is one practical way you take action to solve problems as a leader? What is the impact you’ve noticed?
"My partners and I have resisted recent pressure from our own employees to “move west” because we want to be part of the solution to some of the challenges of our region, in this case a vibrant downtown." 🖊 Steve Smith, CEO of Lawrence Group & New + Found ⤵

Today, I announced my resignation as President & CEO of World Business Chicago. I will support the transition to a new leadership team until February of 2024 and I intend to remain on its board afterwards. Over the last 3+ years, World Business Chicago has achieved significant milestones, including almost 500 "pro-Chicago decisions" of companies relocating or expanding in our city, launching the “Greater Chicagoland Economic Partnership” to promote Chicagoland as one super region, and continuously supporting and building out our start up ecosystem. Reflecting on the past four years, this has been a journey of immense personal and professional growth. Serving as the inaugural Chief Marketing Office, and swiftly taking on the role as the CEO & President of WBC, has been an unparalleled chapter in my career. Understanding Chicago on a deeper level – its history, complexities, and the resilient, optimistic spirit of its residents – has been nothing short of enlightening. I owe immense gratitude to Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot for entrusting me with this leadership role in 2020. My appreciation extends to Mayor Brandon Johnson, who has been nothing but supportive. Amidst this journey, three key lessons stand out: 1. Our city’s bright future is not predestined; it hinges on sustained dedication from all of us. Chicago’s bedrock - our diverse industries, vast talent pool, academic institutions, climate resiliency, vibrant arts & culture & culinary scene, and our inclusive and welcoming ethos – anchors its position as a global world class city. Yet, this status isn’t guaranteed: it demands a consistent collective effort from all of us. 2. Achieving Chicago’s true potential necessitates a dual commitment – economic growth intrinsically intertwined with inclusivity that sees all residents across our 77 neighborhoods. Business leaders shoulder a civic responsibility to ensure opportunities for all our residents while elected official must recognize that a thriving economy is a prerequisite for inclusive growth. We need both: An inclusive AND prosperous economy. 3. Chicago has so many amazing people who are trying their best in improving our city and the lives of our residents. Even after 4 years in my role, I am getting to know new organizations and leaders who are the best of what Chicago offers. There is hope for a better city because we have so many amazing residents that are doing their impactful work without seeking the spotlight. My journey over these last 4 years would not have been possible without the incredible team at WBC, a highly supportive board, a lot of partners across the civic and academic ecosystem, and the unwavering support of remarkable individuals like our board Vice Chair Mellody Hobson. My commitment to Chicago remains steadfast. I’ll continue contributing to the civic, business, and political discourse in this city that I call home. All this with a German accent that will never disappear.

Partner @ KPMG New Zealand | Strategic Advisor | Transition Catalyst | Sustainability | Climate | Nature | Fellow @IEMA | Chartered Environmentalist
#Cities around the world are #transforming. Reshaping themselves in response to the demands of a much-changed planet and to support the #transition to more #sustainable and #resilient lifestyles. These transformations don’t come easily, and we have all heard (and likely experienced) the friction of change. But the results speak for themselves. I’m currently in #Europe (as evidenced by the exponential increase in my Instagram postings of citytour-cycles - more on those another time… probably…) and have taken the opportunity to catch up with whānau in my hometown. As a born and raised Brummie, I feel I’m on safe grounds saying that #Birmingham has not historically been known for its #UrbanDesign (at least not when I was growing up there in the 80s), so it was with probably a hint of #urban-geek delight that I paused in Chamberlain Square and watched the somewhat hypnotic flow of #people moving through the plaza that connects the #civic and #entertainment spaces around Broad Street to the central city. The walk/roll/glide between the two destinations have been made much easier and more viable with the massive rejuvenation of the area, to reclaim space from vehicles and create #environments that are pleasant to be in and amble through. Cities are no longer #isolated monopolistic fiefdoms, rather destinations competing on a global stage for citizens. Citizens that not only create the #communities that give cities #vibrance and #resilience, but are also critical to generating the #investment required to ensure current #infrastructure is not just maintained, but made fit for purpose in our changing world. To survive is to change. To flourish is to move on from the past and look forward to the future. But to do this requires investment and #innovation - not just in how we (re)use what we have, but also in how we generate that investment. For more on the #transformation of Chamberlain Square and the surrounding area check out this link: https://lnkd.in/ga3_M2hu. There’s also a pretty funky timelapse of Chamberlain Square here (click on ‘view 1’): https://lnkd.in/g_iAscVa
