A few weeks ago, I participated in a panel at Aspen Ideas called "Reimagining Motherhood: Giving Moms What They Need" In this clip, I talk about the feeling of betrayal we feel as mothers and the realization that we've been left holding the bag. #aspenideashealth Aspen Ideas

Three people whose lives have been irrevocably changed by the Israel-Palestine conflict share their stories of profound loss, grief and forgiveness. The war in Gaza continues to rage on, compounding misery and suffering in the Middle East. Questions surround the conflict but few have answers, and there’s no clear end in sight. It is difficult to imagine a peaceful future for a territory that many refer to as the most fought-over land in history, but at the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival, we met three leaders who have dedicated their lives to ensuring peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Learn how Aziz Abu Sarah, robi damelin, and Yonatan Zeigen managed to transform their grief and trauma into some of the most valiant peace-keeping efforts in the region. https://lnkd.in/gvscptqg

Watch Ford Motor Company CEO Jim Farley talk about our electric vehicle future at the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival: https://lnkd.in/dY4bdZNS
I talk to customers and dealers often and we know that charging remains an obstacle to electric vehicle adoption. Nearly 90% of auto shoppers say they're more likely to buy an electric vehicle if they knew they could fill it up at home. So we thought, “Why don’t we make this easy and just include a home charger with the vehicle?” So that’s what we’re going to do. If you buy or lease a new Ford electric vehicle, we’ll include a complimentary home charger with standard installation. This is part of something we’re calling the Ford Power Promise, which is about giving our electric vehicle customers convenience, peace of mind and expert service. You can read more about the Ford Power Promise below. We’re excited about this, so I’m looking forward to hearing your feedback and questions!

“Not only do we have the power, we have the obligation to refresh ourselves, to repair ourselves, to make ourselves new,” says civil rights attorney and scholar Sherrilyn Ifill. “That's the project and the work that's before us today, not just getting through another election.” Ifill often looks to the history of American democracy to inform her work, especially the post-Civil War Reconstruction era when the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments transformed the Constitution — what some scholars call the country’s “second founding.” With democracy on shaky ground, social trust fraying and core principles under attack, Ifill makes the case that it’s time for another deep look. Law professor and CEO of the National Constitution Center Jeffrey Rosen joins Ifill in laying out the historical legal context for this bold idea. What would it mean to embark on America’s third founding? Listen on our podcast: https://lnkd.in/gfJSjDCG?
Watch Mitch Landrieu in conversation with other top leaders in business, government, and philanthropy in this session from the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival: https://lnkd.in/g6NHMQq2
Mitch Landrieu was lieutenant governor of Louisiana in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans and its surrounding area. When he was elected mayor of New Orleans in 2010, the city was still recovering from the storm and in the midst of dealing with the nearby Deepwater Horizon oil spill. All this to say: he knows what it takes to lead in difficult times. We caught up with Landrieu at this summer's Aspen Ideas Festival where he spoke onstage about what makes a great leader. This is Leading Voices, a new series from the Aspen Institute where every Wednesday you’ll hear directly from leaders about what it takes to lead and how they got to where they are. 💡 Follow us to make sure you don't miss any leadership lessons along the way.
