Had an incredible time volunteering at #SB24SanDiego! It was a joy to meet new friends and connect with professionals driven by purpose and impact. One of my favorite sessions was with Neil Theise, MD, a liver pathologist from NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He delved into the scientific theory of connection, consciousness, and being—a truly thought-provoking exploration! For all the leaders out there, I want to share these 4 essential rules for promoting an adaptive and sustainable team: 1. Numbers matter: Diversity and interaction are key to self-organization. Is there enough diversity in your team? 2. Negative feedback loops prevail: This type of feedback keeps things balanced (ie, like an AC system, which avoids extreme temperatures). Are there too many positive feedback loops in your processes? Do you make time and space for negative feedback loops? 3. Local interactions without global sensing: The most impactful changes happen locally, without centralized control. Are we paying attention to local shifts and dynamics in our teams? 4. Low-level randomness is essential: A little bit of randomness promotes creativity and adaptability. Are we cultivating enough randomness for innovation, or are we too restrictive? #SustainabilityInAction #CorporateGovernance #SustainabilityLeadership @SustainableBrands

The in-between moments can often be... challenging. I just came off of an incredible HIGH through these last few conferences. I was able to share my perspectives, meet new people, and learn innovative things. But now is the in-between. What do you do with the in-between to ensure that the momentum continues? How will you continue the conversation? We have such a wonderful opportunity to continue to learn and grow from one another. Let's proactively choose not to miss it. 💛 #passionandpurpose #mentorshipmatters #scrs2024 #lovemyjob #lovemyteam #keepgrowing #clinicalresearch #clinicalresearchcoordinators #clinicalresearchassociates #growth

Absolutely! A strong team and effective leadership are the cornerstones of accomplishing any task successfully. Together, they synergize efforts, leverage diverse skills, and foster a collaborative environment where each member feels empowered and valued. A good leader not only sets clear goals and expectations but also inspires and motivates the team to perform at their best. Meanwhile, a good team comprises individuals who bring unique strengths, perspectives, and expertise to the table, complementing each other's abilities and working towards a common objective. When these elements align, they create a powerful force capable of overcoming challenges, adapting to changes, and achieving remarkable results.

Happy Global Meetings Industry Day! Meetings play an important role in shaping our communities, from connecting businesses to fostering innovation and driving economic growth. #GMID #MeetingsMatter #GlobalEvents #GMID2024 #meetingsmeanbusiness #eventprofs #meetingprofs #meetingsindustry #meetingsandevents #facetoface #HMBGlobal

As we come to an end on B Corp Month, I'd like to take a moment to reflect on the fantastic event we hosted last week. Here are some key insights I gathered: ✅ Businesses aspire to uphold ethical and sustainable standards but often lack clarity on initiating their ESG strategy. This is where the B Impact Assessment (BIA) comes into play! ✅ We need to refine how we communicate the essence of B Corp and the comprehensive sustainability standards it signifies. Sometimes, the B Corp logo doesn't convey its full significance to people. Breaking down the logo and its meaning into impact areas could enhance understanding. ✅ Engaging senior management in the importance of ESG initiatives can be challenging. To bridge this gap, we speak their language, present data supporting our ESG initiatives, and emphasize the efficiency gained by leveraging the (free) BIA tool rather than reinventing the wheel. ✅ Existing B Corps are enthusiastic about the movement and willingly offer mentorships or team sessions while sharing their experiences, both successes and challenges. ✅ Many businesses are doing really well in terms of sustainability, but don't have policies or says of working formalised. A B Leader can be a great support here. ✅ Each of us is responsible for supporting B Corps and raising awareness among end users. ✅ As B Leaders, we can leverage each other's expertise in impact areas and business operations to assist clients in their certification journey. Let's foster collaboration and extend support to emerging B Corps. ✅ Ireland stands out as one of the few countries offering grant support for B Corp certification. ✅ Lastly, as we have 38 current B Corps, compiling our data on team retention, revenue, consumer awareness, emissions, etc will be critical to support the movement. #bcorp #blabireland #bleader #bcorpeurope #bcorpcertified B Lab Ireland
