Inclusion and Being Your Authentic Self

by Anthony ParadisoOn May 24, 2019 0 comments

 

I have a strong passion for diversity & inclusion. My passion for this important subject is personal. For a quarter of my life, I was never comfortable in my own skin and felt like I was not my true self. I was pretending to be someone I wasn’t. Over a decade later, I couldn’t be happier. Why? Simply, I am my authentic self. Since being true to myself, I couldn’t have a better life. Sure, life has its ups and downs but it truly is so much easier when YOU ARE...

#SHRM19 in Las Vegas – Life Outside the Convention Center

by Jeff Palkowski, SHRM-CPOn May 22, 2019 0 comments

Whenever I bring up “Las Vegas” to anyone, there is an almost immediate reaction. Often, it seems to be kind of a “love-hate” relationship where the person, whether they have visited Las Vegas or not, declare either their “love” or “hate” for the town long dubbed as “Sin City.”

In my case, I have a nearly 30-year relationship with Las Vegas. Like any friendship or relationship, it’s had its ups and downs, but has somehow endured over the years. Early in my relationship with Las Vegas, it would not be unusual to have 3-4 visits in a calendar year. More...

As the Cofounder and President of PowerToFly, a company connecting women and non-binary people with companies committed to becoming more diverse and inclusive, I’ve been to my fair share of conferences and networking events. PowerToFly ran over eighty events over the last twelve months!
