Meet Glyne A. Griffith II, DBA, CDP, CSR in Organizational Leadership graduate and Vice President of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Social Impact at Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Driven by compassion, he's breaking barriers in the world of arts. "It begins with having an empathetic spirit and a desire to intentionally seek opportunities to continually increase one’s cultural awareness and learn about the experiences of people of a different race/ethnicity/background. One can do this through nurturing relationships with co-workers and friends, learning more about their lived experiences, and lending support as an ally when an opportunity avails itself." Dr. Griffith's doctoral degree equipped him with business acumen, making a positive impact in his community. He emphasizes the power of representation, serving as inspiration for young minds. For Dr. Griffith, the essential support during his doctoral journey was "The 3 F's – Faith, Family, Faculty." His wellness tip for students: Schedule dedicated time for hobbies to prevent burnout on the marathon of academia. 🎓💙

At the core, it's about embodying the values we preach. As individuals within this company, our actions become our identity. It's a journey of integrity and service, shaping not just the business but how people perceive us. It's about being genuine, day in and day out.

This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending a leadership boot camp organized by the Higherlife Foundation in collaboration with Young and Dynamic. As a representative of the University of Zimbabwe, actively engaged in leading community engagement projects, this experience provided a significant opportunity for personal and professional growth. The camp focused on team building and personal development, essential components of effective leadership. Through a variety of activities—both enjoyable and challenging—I gained valuable insights into the identity of a leader, as well as the necessary skills and roles associated with leadership. It is an honor to have take back some great lessons and scares. Key lessons learned include: The Importance of Leadership Hierarchies: I realized that even leaders require guidance. In a group of 21 individuals, it is not necessary for everyone to take on every task; a few skilled individuals can effectively represent the team. The Centrality of Teamwork: Effective collaboration is crucial. Understanding the skills and competencies of each team member ensures that we can leverage the right talents when needed. Our goal is unity in diversity, working together to achieve our objectives. Networking as a Relationship Builder: The camp provided an excellent platform for networking with peers from various universities and backgrounds. Engaging with coaches was particularly enriching, as it allowed me to learn from their experiences while also facilitating opportunities for others to gain knowledge. Stepping Outside Comfort Zones: One activity prompted me to confront my hesitations and participate despite my initial reluctance. This experience underscored the idea that excuses can hinder our growth and limit our opportunities for learning. Indeed, excuses make you seem so small Embracing the Present: This lesson speaks for itself and emphasizes the importance of being fully engaged in our experiences. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our patrons Mr and Mrs. Masiywa Tsitsi Masiyiwa, Mrs. Molobi Elizabeth Tanya Masiyiwa and the entire Higherlife Foundation leadership for granting us platforms like these to grow.

Mr. Holtz, let Vein Access Technologies improve the 'blood donation procedure' for your Techs and your Donors. VAT's STEM-method for the venipuncture and for the POC finger stick blood collection improve the success rate of the donation, reduces the compromise and failure rate, & improves the likelihood of a repeat donation. Current POC methods result in hemolysis of the blood sample, falsely indicating they are 'anemic', when they aren't. The new VAT method (gravity method) does NOT causes hemolysis - ACCURATE RESULTS follow. Current venipuncture methods frequently cause vein rupture, bruising, pain, fear - and sometimes long term recovery (from what should have been an inspirational donation), not to mention the occasional permanent injury. Not all veins are created equal; and not all veins should be stuck. PLEASE - THERE IS NOTHING TO LOSE by investigating VATmethod.com Or visit STEM21cVA.com for the science of it - The Science Behind the Skill of Vein Access for Blood Donation book describes it all. This is a new era for ARC, with a new leader - it's time for a new/next generation venipuncture and POC blood collection. 😊
