Five international holidays converge on the scene every December (and early January) to make our schedules hectic, exciting, and pressure-filled. Wrapping gifts while shopping at odd hours of the night either pushes us into the spirit of happiness OR helps us find an escape path until all of the celebrations are over.


Here are related links to five holidays with religious and nonreligious implications. You'll learn interesting facts and figures that will make you scratch your head in amazement. The marathon includes Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and Three Kings Day. Learn new traditions and pass them on as the merriment continues throughout the holiday season.


May you celebrate the Season and get ready for an awe-inspiring 2023!

A Moment For Diversity

6/6/2022

By Debra Gould
Men hate each other because they fear each other, and they fear each other because they don’t know each other, and they don’t know each other because they are often separated from each other.”-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Mentioning Diversity- It doesn’t matter how easy to get along with what we believe we are; there will come a time when someone or something challenges that belief. Usually, the challenge is related to one or more of the cultural landmines outlined below. Look at the continuum and mark an “X” on the spot where you believe you fall from 1 to 5. 

Cultural Landmines:
Achievement Relationship to Personal
Physically Distant to Physically Close
Linear Time to Non-Linear Time
Authoritarian to Democratic
Direct Communicator to Indirect Communicator
My Goals to Our Goals
Aggressive Attitude to Passive Attitude

SO, what do you do if one of these landmines explodes in the workplace or in your personal life? The WAY you communicate is going to be very important. Use the following steps as your guide:
· Provide feedback that gives the person information about the IMPACT of their behavior
· Use “I” statements
· Make a clear request for the person to discontinue making those statements or exhibiting that behavior in your presence
· Inform the person of the consequences of continuing to engage in offensive speech or behavior

The Minute-Being mindful of your diversity assessment-What do you think and feel about this? What do you do about this? Is there anything you would like to do differently about this in the future?

Celebrate Women's History Month with These Five Steps

4/6/2022

0 Comments

 
By Michelle Porchia

Women are the backbone of the family, the country, the world! We were reminded when I shared the information from the International Women’s Day site, that women continue to break barriers and make a difference…we are GETTING THINGS DONE.

I wanted to highlight outstanding women in this blog, but there are so many, the blog would have been pages and pages long. There are so many phenomenal women who have chosen to follow their passion; defy the odds, who faced challenges, even death yet they persisted. They changed lives. They changed their neighborhoods, cities, countries even the world. Many are unknown sheroes. Many are noted in history yet people don’t know about them.

According to the LA Times, “The pandemic has disproportionately affected women, with significant numbers laid off, leaving their jobs or reducing work hours to care for children being schooled at home or to care for other family members.” “It had another effect too: Women, especially those who had never before started a business, took up entrepreneurship, spurring a wave of first-time business ventures that experts say is a pandemic silver lining worth investing in.” “This virtual presence has also opened a plethora of doors for people to connect with people around the world but also see how they can share ideas, start businesses, meet new friends, begin new relationships,” “It’s like no other time.”
What can we do to engage with other women not only during Women’s History month but year around?
​
  1. Define success for yourself: What is your definition of success or what does success look like to you? It is different for everyone. Yet, you need to have a clear picture of what it is for you.
  2. Support and encourage other women: Globally, women have fewer opportunities for economic participation than men, less access to both basic and higher education, greater health and safety risks, and less political representation. Women still face bias, stereotypes and lack of opportunity. Yet, we are getting things done. Support women owned businesses. Encourage women to dream and go for their dreams. Age doesn’t matter. Women in their 20's through their 60's and 70's started businesses last year. One woman said, “Life is not easy. Doing what you love, that’s what makes life.”
  3. Collaborate: Ebony Speakers is a good example of support, encouragement and collaboration. We live in different states, have different experiences and we’ve been together over 10 years.
  4. Share Resources: Resources include information, educational opportunities, connections and ideas.
  5. Celebrate YOU: Encourage yourself. Love yourself. Believe in yourself. You are wonderfully made. Women have a reputation for putting everyone else first and then when it comes to taking time for them, they’ll get “around to it”. Often times they don’t take time for themselves and at the same time, they don’t feel they are making a difference. YOU are making a difference.


You are successful women speaking up and speaking out. You are successful women who have spoken love, life and lessons into others. You have been selfless. I applaud you. I salute you. I also challenge you to take time for you. That is not selfish, it is selfless. Love yourself. Pamper yourself. Take care of yourself and continue to SPEAK up and speak out against bias. Remember also to CHOOSE YOU while YOU ARE GETTING THINGS DONE. #BreakTheBias

Three Keys For A Successful Change Initiative

3/6/2022

0 Comments

By Nancy J. Lewis
The only thing constant is change, and we clearly saw that over the last two years. To lead an effective change initiative in your organization, consider the following three strategies.

1.  Put people first.
This is not just something nice to say, it must be demonstrated in your actions. When you want to create a successful change initiative, prioritize people. People fuel and sustain the momentum of the change. Change initiatives don’t succeed when people are not involved, don’t understand, believe or engage in the change. To make the change initiative easier, leaders must engage the employees in the change process from the beginning.

2.  Empower employees through effective communication.
Communication is an essential part of effectively managing organizational change. Vision for the change is only as compelling as the communication that supports it. Communication during the change management process is not a one-time transfer of information. It requires commitment to follow through with updates, clarity, and consistency of the message. It is important to have two-way communication with employees through surveys, focus groups, and informal feedback collection throughout the change initiative.

3.  Mobilize leadership.
Statistics and surveys state that the more active and visible top leadership is in the change, the more likely the change initiative will succeed. The challenge is to make sure leaders understand the role they play in the change and can convey it to their teams. Leaders must know they are responsible for achieving change goals from start to finish. They take on ownership and accountability of what they are expected to do in the change initiative. Leaders help the organization understand and interpret what the change means for their teams and the business. Leaders must be flexible and willing to change course as needed when a new approach is necessary.
 These are a few strategies to consider as you look at your next change initiative.

Black History & Dr. Carter G. Woodson

2/6/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
The shortest month of the year should not limit the expansive contributions of Black people throughout the United States and the Americas. We salute African Americans' sacrifices, dreams, hopes, and opportunities, from Phyllis Wheatley to Dr. Ralph David Abernathy to Rev. Karla Cooper, who represent the best of our race.
​

Black History IS American History, and it should matter to ALL people throughout the land.

Carole Copeland Thomas
===================
Black History Month and Dr. Carter G.Woodson
During the dawning decades of the twentieth century, it was commonly presumed that black people had little history besides the subjugation of slavery. Today, it is clear that blacks have significantly impacted the development of the social, political, and economic structures of the United States and the world. Credit for the evolving awareness of the true place of blacks in history can, in large part, be bestowed on one man, Carter G. Woodson. And, his brainchild the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, Inc. is continuing Woodson's tradition of disseminating information about black life, history and culture to the global community.

Known as the "Father of Black History," Woodson (1875-1950) was the son of former slaves and understood how important gaining a proper education is when striving to secure and make the most out of one's divine right of freedom. Although he did not begin his formal education until he was 20 years old, his dedication to study enabled him to earn a high school diploma in West Virginia and bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Chicago in just a few years.

In 1912, Woodson became the second African American to earn a Ph.D. at Harvard University.
Recognizing the dearth of information on the accomplishments of blacks in 1915, Dr. Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, now called the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH).

Under Woodson's pioneering leadership, the Association created research and publication outlets for black scholars with the establishment of the Journal of Negro History (1916) and the Negro History Bulletin (1937), which garners a popular public appeal.

In 1926, Dr. Woodson initiated the celebration of Negro History Week, which corresponded with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, this celebration was expanded to include the entire month of February, and today Black History Month garners support throughout the country as people of all ethnic and social backgrounds discuss the black experience. ASALH views the promotion of Black History Month as one of the most important components of advancing Dr. Woodson's legacy.
In honor of all the work that Dr. Carter G. Woodson has done to promote the study of African American History, an ornament of Woodson hangs on the White House's Christmas tree each year.

A Leader's Potential Shining Star

6/6/2021

Picture
By Debra Gould, MS

You know the one, the one on your staff who is the best and brightest on your team. Every time you see him/her, you think, “what great leadership potential—what a diamond in the rough!” BUT this is also your person who has the greatest number of personal problems impacting the job and has the least amount of professional self-esteem.  

So, what do you do? Do you set aside your diamond in the rough aside and work with someone who has less leadership potential but fewer personal problems and greater self-esteem? Or, do you invest a little extra time with your diamond in the rough to encourage their leadership potential? One choice takes you down the path of least resistance. The other means a long-term project requiring a commitment of more time and energy. Where do you start? Here are my “Diamond Mining Tips” to help you get started polishing your rough diamond:


  • Begin regular mentoring sessions discussing performance expectations.
  • Assign projects that fit current job skills. Increase in difficulty as skills grow.
  • Provide on-the-spot praise for a job well done; add recognition at staff meetings when appropriate.
  • Take steps to keep morale and motivation high. Be an encourager.
  • Work on developing and refining skills needed for excellence in job performance.
  • Role model positive organizational behavior

 The Minute-Being mindful of our rough diamond scenario:

  • What do you think about this approach?
  • How do you feel about the action steps suggested?
  • What would you like to do differently about this in the future?

People are assets whose value can be enhanced through investment. Think about this as a leader in this scenario above to ask yourself this question and go get it done?  Question: How can I keep this diamond in the rough motivated because the potential is there?  Answer: Just pursue a strategy that does take account of the capacity of all the resources available, including the human ones. Hold on leader and build, direct, lead, guide and influence and your future leader and never give up.

Thought of a Great Leader
​
“Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.”
-Harry Truman

Life's Lessons from Gardening

Life Lessons from Gardening


Last year I moved in to a small house. Besides it being my home, I have a patio and a porch. In the spring of 2020, I grew herbs (basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary and sage.) Unexpectedly, I did really well. Basil is a seasonal herb. Surprisingly my basil lasted from late April through the end of September. I nurtured the other herbs through the winter.

This year I have a container garden. I’m growing the same herbs with hope for more success with my basil and rosemary plants. I’ve also added parsley to my gardening menu. I now have a raised garden bed. This will allow me to garden more easily. This year I am experimenting with growing Japanese eggplant, banana peppers, yellow peppers, tomatoes and a walking onion. I also have several potted coleus and two succulents.


Where are the lessons? I’m glad you asked.


  1. I’ve been able to try my hand at gardening and do pretty well because I asked for help. Other people in the small community I live in have beautiful flower and vegetable gardens. Along with their cuttings they have shared their vast gardening knowledge with me.
  2. Vegetables and flowers need to be repotted in order to thrive. If they are not repotted, they will get root bound and not reach their full potential. We have to venture out of our comfort zone to grow and develop. If we don’t, we can get stuck or in a rut. Sometimes we need to expand our horizons.
  3. Tomatoes need their own space. If they don’t, the stronger plant will suck up the nutrients from the soil and the weaker plant will not thrive. (I had no clue.)  We have to be careful that we don’t allow our energy to be drained by others.
  4. All the vegetables and flowers started out as tiny seeds. With nurturing, the right nutrition and environment, they can thrive and grow and even produce. We need the right environment to grow and develop and create.
  5. Growing things takes patience. Growing our businesses, expanding our knowledge, etc., takes time and patience.
  6. I get so excited to look out at what I call my “Zen Garden” (It is so peaceful.) It brings me joy to seeing the sprouts peeking through the soil, the seedlings standing tall and my herbs providing flavor to the meals I cook. Enjoy the beauty and the journey.

2020 was a trying year. I found enjoyment in growing herbs that I nurtured and used to make savory meals. 2021 is a new year. I enjoy waking up and looking out of my bedroom window and seeing my “Zen Garden.”  This year, I explored new territory by expanding my gardening knowledge and trying to grow vegetables. As a speaker, I’ve spoken (via Zoom) in venues I hadn’t considered. It was an honor to speak for my high school alma mater, twice. I am now looking into new areas of interest. I’m taking my time and planting the seeds, just like my garden. I’m excited to see what blooms.

Five Strategies To Stop Making Excuses In Your Life

5/3/2021

Nancy J. Lewis, MS, SHRM-CP PHR, RCC
So often, we make excuses why we don't do certain things in our life. When we do this, we often
delay walking into our destiny and adversely impact our integrity level. Consider the following five strategies the next time you find yourself making an excuse.


1. Be honest with yourself.
It is important to look at yourself in the mirror and have a heart to heart and admit you have a problem. Don't continue to deny this is an area in your life you are okay with and hope it will simply go away without you addressing it. Others know you are making excuses, and it is time you face it also. It is important to state the problem out loud, acknowledging you recognize this is a problem you are going to fix. It is helpful to solicit the assistance of a trusted friend that will hold you accountable when you find yourself making excuses. 


2. Set realistic expectations.
Before you make commitments and say yes to something--even something small--ask yourself if you truly believe you can and will follow through. Some people set unrealistic goals and then fail in accomplishing their commitment. It is critical to have forethought and count the cost of what you are committing to. Look at the time constraints, the magnitude of the task and then make an informed decision. Sometimes you have to say no, and that is okay. It is better to say no than to repeatedly say yes and fall short of what you have committed to. Doing what you say you will do speaks to your level of integrity. Integrity is a lot easier to maintain than regain. So think before you commit!


3. Stop whining and start winning.
Stop complaining about what you don't have and making negative confessions. It is so important to count your blessings and know that you win when you begin to speak positive statements of faith. Be slow to speak and swift to hear, and if what you are going to say is not in line with what you want to see manifest in your life, don't say it. Choose to move from whining about life and get in the game of winning in life. Become your own best cheerleader recognizing that greatness lives inside of you.
  
4. Take charge of what you need to do.
Just determine in your heart that whatever you need to do to succeed, you will do. Be in charge of your life by making the right decisions and taking action on the goals you have set for yourself. Challenge yourself to know that you have skills, talents, and abilities inside you to make your dreams a reality. Don't look for others to do the things you need to do. Commit to what needs to be done and then do it.


5. Be solution-centered.
Instead of focusing on your problem, begin to look at the possible solutions. What you focus on becomes greater, so why not focus on ways to resolve your situation? Be willing to ask for help from those individuals who have knowledge and skills that can help you. Don't let pride and ego keep you from getting valuable insight and wisdom from those who can shorten your learning curve and provide you with helpful solutions to the challenges you face. Choose to use your energy focusing on solutions and then be willing to take responsibility for your life.
