Sorenson Impact’s Post

🌍 Happy Earth Day! Today, at the Leder School of Business, we reflect on our responsibility to promote social and environmental sustainability. As we celebrate the beauty and bounty of creation, we are reminded of our mission to nurture and protect it. In my dual roles - both as Dean of Leder and an Au Sable Professor each summer - I've seen firsthand how integrating social justice with environmental stewardship can reshape the future of business education. At King’s, we're not just teaching students how to maximize profits but inspiring leaders to create positive, sustainable impacts that align with our faith-based commitment to care for the Earth. Our business program is designed to challenge students to think critically about their roles in the world, ensuring they're equipped to fulfill the university’s mission and vision and a greater global purpose. Whether through innovative courses, community partnerships, work-integrated learning, or international collaborations, we aim to develop leaders committed to ethical practices and care for the creation. Celebrating Earth Day, let's commit to continuous learning and action toward a sustainable world. How are you making an impact in your community?

An inspiring overview of her first 100 days as Vice Chancellor from one of HE's best and strongest leaders, Shân Wareing. My three key takeaways: -"it's possible to thrive on a sense of purpose and responsibility...The feeling that what we do next matters can sharpen our senses and increase our stamina." -the more public and the more private activities of VCs need to be intentionally scheduled so time for both is created. -"Higher education equips us to solve complex problems, and now we need to turn those skills on ourselves."

🤔Ever found yourself stepping back into a space that's so deeply interwoven with your essence, it feels like coming home? That was me, bursting with pride as I walked the halls of LMCJ middle school. It was more than just a visit; it was a vivid reminder of the legacy I've left behind. A legacy that ensures our Black and Brown girls are seen, celebrated, and empowered to shine with brilliance. But how did this vision come to life, you ask? It wasn't an overnight success, nor was it the work of one. It was a journey—a series of meaningful relationships and shared beliefs in what could be. Realizing that I had cultivated trust and inspired adults to roll up their sleeves and tackle the necessary hard work was a testament to the power of shared vision and collective effort. And here's the exciting part: This is exactly what we're diving into in our upcoming free training, Got Expectations? Leading that Shifts Behaviors to Meet Goals, on April 20, from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. EST. Imagine two hours dedicated to exploring leadership that turns visions into realities. We'll tackle how to: ✅️Foster connections that clarify expectations, ✅️Relationship-driven strategies for behavioral change, and  ✅️Decode the art of leveraging data to make informed decisions. Why is this important? 🎯Because the path to elevating our schools, especially for our Black and Brown students, is paved with intention, understanding, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. It's about knowing not just the 'what' but the 'how' and the 'why' behind every action we take. So, if you're ready to create or refine your legacy; to shape a future that reflects your deepest beliefs and highest aspirations, this training is for you.
