Take a Walk on the Wild Side: Become a Better Leader by Following Nature’s Example

Greenleaf Book Group

Nature is the perfect teacher for the challenging and very personal concept of leadership. And no one knows this better than former zoo and aquarium senior leader turned leadership consultant Julie C. Henry. In Wisdom from the Wild: The Nine Unbreakable Laws of Leadership from the Animal Kingdom (Greenleaf Book Group, Jan 4, 2022), Henry shows you—whether you’re a new or experienced leader—how to learn from and be inspired by the wildlife and wild places all around you. This fun, new approach to leadership presents nine “Unbreakable Laws” from the animal kingdom. These true, fundamental guidelines with concrete examples from wildlife can steer your work and decisions as a leader. “This book has been twenty-five years in the making,” Henry said. “It’s a collection of the experiences, the memories, and the moments that I hope will challenge, inspire, and motivate you to continue growing as leaders…Nature is always teaching us, if we have the presence of mind to listen. I learned early in my career that deep down inside, people understand this—which is why they always want to hear ‘one more story’ about wildlife and wild places and the lessons they can teach us as leaders.” Creatures that might seem unusual or even unexpected in a book about leadership—such as naked mole rats, spiders, and even sea cucumbers—will teach you how to: Deal with change More effectively lead teams Build your resilience muscle as a leader “Julie Henry’s love of animals and the examples they provide for the human experience shine through in this engaging tutorial in leadership training,” said Dr. Bob Hueter, PhD, of Mote Marine Laboratory and OCEARCH. “Julie bares her soul and shows us how all our challenges, as humans living in an artificial world of our own making, can be met if we just draw from the beautifully evolved world of Mother Nature.” “There has never been a better time to follow Julie on a journey through the wild to change the way you view the world,” said Cathy Chambers, a senior corporate leader, echoing Hueter’s praise. “Julie’s advice and insights show leaders how to re-connect with nature to inspire employees and drive innovation in the workplace. Julie’s passion for unusual creatures and vibrant outdoor spaces is embedded in her DNA, and these leadership lessons are an absolute gift to be treasured and shared as you hike through life’s challenges and opportunities.” Reinforcing these essential lessons from the wild, Henry presents a myriad of business case studies and immediately actionable tools to strengthen your leadership skills. So join this extraordinary dive into the natural world as you’ve never seen it before, as you uncover your leadership prowess among the animals.

Akeneo Named One of Boston's Best Midsize Companies To Work For

Akeneo

Akeneo, a global leader in Product Experience Management (PXM) solutions, today announced that it has been named one of Boston's top midsize employers in Built In's 2022 Best Places to Work awards. Akeneo was also honored as one of Boston’s 50 Best Paying Companies — a tribute to the company’s industry-leading compensation policies and commitment to equitable pay for all its employees. Built In, a tech platform trusted by 2.5 million professionals and 1,800 companies, ranked Boston's employers using a sophisticated algorithm incorporating data about companies' compensation, benefits and cultural programs. To reflect the benefits candidates want, the rankings also weigh criteria such as remote and flexible work opportunities, programs for DEI, and other people-first cultural offerings. Akeneo was ranked a top employer for the second successive year in recognition of its consistent focus on supporting employees and creating a vibrant workplace culture. Founded in 2013, Akeneo empowers its customers with the keys to unlocking growth opportunities, and takes a similarly innovative approach to shaping employee experience and giving all team members the opportunity to lean in, learn, and make significant contributions to its own aggressive growth. During the turbulence of the past year, Akeneo has invested heavily in employee wellbeing, with employees receiving (and being expected to use) a full 5 weeks of vacation time. Akeneo also offers generous health, vision, and dental benefits, plus a 401(k) retirement benefit with company match, providing peace of mind for employees and their families, both now and into the future. At Akeneo’s North American HQ, a historic Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority building transformed into a dramatic office space, employees can enjoy employee-friendly amenities, including a well-stocked upscale kitchen, and a comfortable lounge area with plush sofas and the latest video games. But Akeneo also recognizes that many employees have health concerns, family caregiving duties, and other factors that make remote work a better fit. The company offers extremely flexible working hours and locations, with employees free to find the right combination of on-site, remote, or hybrid solutions to meet their unique needs. For all employees, Akeneo is dedicated to preventing burnout and eliminating stress, while fostering a strong and unified culture that promotes diversity, loyalty, and teamwork. The company stages regular outings and events to build team spirit and help remote and on-site workers to stay connected. Employees can also take company-paid trips to visit Akeneo's global headquarters, located in a French mansion, and engage with the company’s European team members. "Winning the Best Places to Work award for the second year running is a testament to the values and the team spirit that make Akeneo such a unique place to come to work each morning," said Kristin Naragon, Akeneo’s VP of Marketing and Strategy. "Over the past year, we’ve strived to create a culture that helps our talented and diverse global team to achieve their full potential. But this award really belongs to our employees — because it’s their commitment to supporting one another that makes Akeneo such a wonderful place to work.” “It is my honor to extend congratulations to the 2022 Best Places to Work winners,” said Sheridan Orr, Chief Marketing Officer, Built In. “This year saw a record number of entrants — and the past two years fundamentally changed what tech professionals want from work. These honorees have risen to the challenge, evolving to deliver employee experiences that provide the meaning and purpose today’s tech professionals seek.” About Built In Built In is creating the largest platform for technology professionals globally.

What You Need to Know About Dating in 2022

YourUpdateTV

Bumble, the women-first dating and social networking app, has revealed 2022’s dating trends ahead of Dating Sunday, also known as the first Sunday of the new year and one of the busiest days for the online dating industry. Recently, Shan Boodram, Sex and Relationship Expert at Bumble, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss dating trends and what people can expect in the New Year. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/7FH9VJpcN-o According to Bumble’s latest study, the New Year will bring about: Explori-dating: The pandemic has made almost half of us (48%) question what our ‘type’ is. Looking ahead to 2022, more than 1 in 3 people on Bumble would describe their approach to dating as exploratory (43%) and more than one-third (34%) of respondents in the U.S. say they are more open to exploring a relationship with someone who lives in another city. Consciously Single: 2022 is all about finding that someone, not just anyone. The pandemic has made half of us (53%) realize that it’s OK to be alone for a while. Dry Dating: Throughout the pandemic, many have changed their relationship to alcohol and adopted new drinking habits. In fact, 1 in 3 (34%) people globally are now more likely to consider going on a ‘dry date’ than they were before the pandemic. “Dating Sunday” is known as the first Sunday of the new year and one of the busiest days for the online dating industry. Last year, Bumble saw that the highest volume of messages in the US were exchanged between early January and before Valentine’s Day. This time period has traditionally been a busy season for online dating as people re-merge from the holidays and get ready to find a new partner just in time for Valentine’s Day. Here are some tips on updating your profile: Make your first photo stand out. Showing off your smile, your eyes (without sunglasses), and your whole face (without a Snapchat filter) makes a positive first impression. Make sure it's only you in this first photo. It's great to include photos with your friends too, but you want your potential matches to know just who it is they'll be swiping on when they land on your profile. Add interests and badges to highlight your likes, hobbies and passions. Don’t be too serious. Dating should be fun and exciting, so let your personality show! Less is not more. Don’t leave your profile blank! This is your opportunity to show off your amazing sense of humor and let your next potential match get to know a little bit about you. Everyone loves a funny, memorable profile. Remember to keep it positive! Asking a question in your profile that a potential match can answer as their first message to you is always a good idea. Ask a trusted BFF for advice: Sometimes we can be our own worst critics, and our friends can help us see things we might miss. Ask them how they might describe you, or the things about you that stand out the most. Allow your closest confidantes to take a look at your camera roll or Instagram and help select some great photos, too. For more information, visit Bumble.com or download the app in the App Store and Google Play. About Shan Boodram: Shan Boodram is a certified sex educator, dating coach and intimacy expert. Boodram is host of the top podcast, "Lovers and Friends," the best-selling author of “The Game of Desire,” resident expert on Netflix's “Too Hot to Handle,” and currently stars in Peacock’s new show “Ex-Rated with Andy Cohen". She is an ambassador for AIDS Healthcare Foundation and WomensHealth.gov, and a member of the American Sexual Health Association. About Bumble app: Bumble, the women-first dating and social networking app, was founded by CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd in 2014. Bumble connects people across dating (Bumble Date), friendship (Bumble BFF) and professional networking (Bumble Bizz). No matter the type of relationship, women make the first move on Bumble. Bumble is built on the importance of equitable relationships and how crucial they are to a healthy, happy life. They've built their platform around kindness, respect, and equality – and their community plays an important part in that. Bumble holds its users accountable for their actions and has zero tolerance for hate, aggression, or bullying. Bumble is free and available worldwide in the App Store and Google Play.

Holiday Gifting & Preparation

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/JR9Mz8XHr4g The countdown is on as holiday shoppers continue to spend in record numbers. According to the latest stats, online sales have reached close to 110-billion dollars since November 1 st. That’s a lot of searching, finding, and buying. Beauty & Lifestyle Expert, Anna De Souza has come up with a few of her favorite finds for the favorite people in your life. FITNESS: The National Retail Federation finds the average consumer will spend close to $1,000 on gifts and other purchases. De Souza says there’s no need to stress. As a mom of twin toddlers, she’s done all the heavy lifting, stating, “It’s hard to get a workout in other than muscling them up three flights of stairs.” The Lifestyle expert has found one gift that she deems “smart and compact.” The Tempo Move helps give the experience and results of working with a personal trainer by offering real-time feedback, weight recommendations, and a training plan, and this full gym takes up only a tiny footprint as a sleek cabinet. De Souza continues, “As you work out, Tempo Move tracks your reps, form, weight – even the speed of your reps – and the artificial intelligence customizes a workout smarter than any human ever could.” Tempo Move comes with 50 pounds of smart weights and connects through your phone and TV for a fully immersive workout experience that favors effort over time. For more information, visit https://www.tempo.fit/shop/move. Facebook: @GetTempo Instagram: @tempo Twitter: @TrainWithTempo COOKING: Reports show that a few retailers have gotten a lift from cooking trends. De Souza points out that so much time is spent with family and friends in the kitchen. She asks, “Why not make some new memories while making some delicious meals?” The Lifestyle expert recommends picking up an air fryer, because now consumers are finally able to cook two dishes that can be synchronized to serve at the exact same time. The CRUXGG TriZone 9 Quart Air Fryer was voted Best Air Fryer of 2021 by Esquire. It’s engineered with patent-pending technology that features one extra-large cooking area that can be divided into two – so chicken fingers for the kids and salmon for you, or an entrée and a side – served hot and crispy together so you don’t need to microwave the straggler dish! CRUXGG just launched 8 products exclusively at Target which will be 30% off through the holidays. De Souza also highlights the brand’s Rotating Ceramic Nonstick Waffle Maker, that makes 5 one-inch Belgian waffles in under 10 minutes. She says it’s perfect for holiday mornings. “CRUXGG is also a purchase you can feel good about,” De souza adds, because 5% of proceeds go to a collective of nonprofits working to end food insecurity. For more information, go to https://www.target.com/p/cruxgg-6-in-1-9qt-air-fryer-with-trizone-technology/-/A-85017063?preselect=82541621#lnk=sametab. Social Media Channels: @crux.kitchen @ghettogastro Hashtags: #createwithcrux #targetstyle BEAUTY: As a beauty expert, De Souza has a few ideas for consumers that want to look and feel their best this holiday season and into the new year. She starts off with a holiday gift set from OLEHENRIKSEN. “You’ve probably heard of banana powder as a celebrity makeup artist secret to brighten that dark undereye area,” De Souza says, “The Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum with 15% Vitamin C is clinically proven to give you brighter, bouncier skin in 7 days without makeup. With other brands, shoppers usually get 3% vitamin C in topicals if you’re lucky. You’re also getting C-Rush Brightening Gel Crème, which gives you a full 24-hours of moisture and a color-correcting Banana Bright Eye Crème.” As a beauty expert, De Souza has been covering beauty for many years. She says if there is one product to horde, it’s Vitamin C. For more information, go to https://www.olehenriksen.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/olehenriksen/ Instagram: @olehenriksen Another gift idea De Souza recommends became this year’s viral foundation launch and sold out multiple times when TikTokers showed off the texture and coverage after just one swipe on the cheek. De Souza says, “The KVD Beauty’s Good Apple Skin-Perfecting Foundation Balm is unlike any texture I’ve felt before, it glides on like a buttery balm, but it’s surprising when you see it apply as full coverage with a velvety finish that doesn’t crease!” It’s formulated with hydrating apple extract and available in 40 inclusive shades. Holiday shoppers can use code ANNA20 at KVDVeganBeauty.com for 20% off or pick it up at Ulta or Sephora. For more information, visit http://kvdveganbeauty.com/.
