Love this quote from Brendan P. Keegan (@bpkFEARLESS): "Preparedness doesn’t make you fearless. Learning in humility does." You won't always know the answer, but if you can commit to learning and making a change, that's when you'll become fearless. bit.ly/3jZGQcx

It took enormous strength to do what Simone Biles did in Japan. She's leading the way for more athletes to advocate for themselves. Mental health matters. 👏 vox.com/22596341/simone-bile…

What's on your bucket list for the rest of the summer? Mine is to spend as much time as I can outdoors with my family!

Thinking about this quote today from @tarawestover's memoir, "Educated:" “My life was narrated for me by others. Their voices were forceful, emphatic, absolute. It had never occurred to me that my voice might be as strong as theirs.”

So grateful we were able to host our first in-person @ontraport event since December 2019! Thrilled just to be back on campus with our team for an evening to celebrate all their hard work over the last year and a half. 👏
Did you know that women earn 57% of bachelor's degrees awarded in the U.S. and make up half of the college-educated workforce? The facts are in the numbers –– yes, women are already empowered but there is still a lot that organizations can do catch up. forbes.com/sites/forbescoach…
Pride month is over, but that doesn't mean that support of LGBTQIA+ comes to an end. Here are some programs from @PacificPride you can implement that benefit your employees and the community all year long. 💚 pacificpridefoundation.org/l…
