I have long admired the Girl Scouts of the USA. Growing up, I participated in the program as a Brownie. I spoke with Sylvia Acevedo who served as CEO of the Girl Scouts of the USA from 2016 to 2020. We talked about her career as a rocket scientist, the power of badges and resilience. The impact she had during her tenure was incredible: "I wanted to ensure girls have those digital skills. I didn't want girls just to be the users of technology, but the creators, inventors and designers of it. I decided to look for partners to help develop badges and ultimately created the most badges ever — 146 — during my tenure. They include topics such as robotics, coding, automotive, space, design thinking, cyber security as well as civics, entrepreneurship and outdoor leadership." Thank you Sylvia for sharing your story with me and all that you do to champion girls and women. Learn more about her story linked in the comments.

Early on in her career, Claudia Ball was asked to create an executive coffee series. The lessons learned still resonate today: "I didn't have a ton of experience and felt a level of imposter syndrome, but I remember thinking I needed to do it well and with purpose and I allowed myself to figure it out along the way. It’s still one of the single most important projects I’ve led. I learned how to work with and understand senior-level leaders, cultivate strong relationships, harness the power of storytelling and build up my event coordination skills." Thank you for your vulnerability and candor, Claudia. It was inspiring to learn about the ways your professional and personal experiences shape relationship building, communicating and connecting at work. Learn more in the link in the comments.

"Anyone who is successful is very intentional, relentless and creative in pursuit of whatever product they are building, unreasonable hospitality is about bringing that same relentlessness in pursuit of people – it’s not just the people you serve, but it starts with people you work with." -Will Guidara I read Will Guidara's "Unreasonable Hospitality" and loved it. As I dived deeper into his hospitality stories, I kept seeing parallels to the ways we communicate and connect at work. I had an awesome conversation with Will, and it's the most recent edition of The Switchboard. In This Edition How hospitality is a state of mind Why leaders must take time to do the most menial tasks When starting a new role, just listen Thank you to Maren Patrick for helping make the interview happen. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Link to article in the comments.

1yDishing out the goodness here! The parallels are endless. Food is often centered around community. In communities people communicate. There's things that can boil over, items to set aside and the rest is to lay on the table for consumption and sharing of food and thought. Enjoyed the post!
