In business, as in life, there will always be shortcuts. But, just as there are shortcuts, there are also opportunities to examine the work more closely: to examine the process, to consider the construct, and to reimagine the outcome.   In this week’s #FindingTheWords, Carrie Fox shares the pivotal moment when she examined her own work more closely and decided to do things differently. This moment would later inspire the founding of Mission Partners, Benefit LLC seven years ago—where business is guided by purpose, not profit.   Read on to learn more: https://lnkd.in/epjJ45mN #SocialImpact #Communications #CourageousLeadership

Polarization. It’s all around us. Humans are feeling less connected to their neighbors and more attached to their screens and data.

Today is June 19, 2024—better known now as Juneteenth. It has been 159 years since the last enslaved people of the U.S. South received news of emancipation and were finally set free. It’s been just four years since the first wave of companies started recognizing the day as a paid holiday. It’s been just three years since it became designated as a federal holiday. And it’s been just two years since the New York Stock Exchange began observing Juneteenth as a market holiday. In our nation’s long and storied journey toward justice, progress can feel painfully slow. But today, on this Juneteenth celebration, we are wonderfully reminded that progress is always possible. Bit by bit, day by day, and one action after another, we can bend that “arc of the moral universe” toward justice. And slowly but surely, progress can take hold.
