Watch my full TEDx talk on YouTube titled, "Seeing Life from a Different Lens" where I talk about the three steps I took to overcome the emotional trauma of surviving a rare childhood eye cancer called retinoblastoma and how you too can see the world through a different lens with love, empathy and compassion. My Call to Action for you: Before you donate money to childhood cancer, donate your time with other survivors. I have witnessed first hand what happens when we let connections unite us and what happens when we let our differences divide us. The former is the world I want to live in. https://lnkd.in/gAhXCgdf TED Conferences TEDX #TEDTalks

🧠 May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month 🧠 Did you know our very own, CEO, Katie Merillat, here at Merillat Consulting, is also a brain tumor survivor? Did you know that there were 90,000 brain tumors diagnosed in 2023 alone? It’s hard not to feel like you are alone in your fight, but you are never really alone. During Katie’s fight, the struggle find the right medical team, at home support and most importantly advocacy was challenging. As a result , our leader donates to The National Brain Tumor Society. The goal is to assist and provide support as we go Grey for May. https://lnkd.in/gWB5tQ6i For every dollar donated on behalf of Merillat Consulting, we will proudly match it. Through the end of May, TNBTS will double any donation. Together, let's make a difference and go Grey for May! #BrainTumorAwareness #HopeForACure 🌟 #MerillatConsulting #EmployeeWellness #HR #HROutsourcing

What does this awesome little guy have to do with lung cancer, you ask? This is one of our two dogs, Mr. Chew, and he LOVES walking at the Flowood Nature Park. I could have done better at self-care the last few years - including physical activity - and I'm working to change that. It's often easier to lace up my shoes if I have external motivators like Mr. Chew. Now, I'm adding another. Between now and October 26, 2004, I aim to raise at least $888 in support of LUNGevity Foundation. Their annual events, Breathe Deep TOGETHER and Breathe Deep ANYWHERE, are platforms for raising crucial funding to support all those living with lung cancer. I have two action items for my LinkedIn colleagues: 1) Please agree to be my "accountability partners" in my commitment to becoming more physically active while raising money to support LUNGevity's vital work, and 2) Please support my fundraiser if you can (link below). I promise to check in occasionally and keep you posted on my mileage, Mr. Chew, and my progress toward my fundraising goal. Mr. Chew says, "Whaddaya waiting for? Let's get walking!" https://lnkd.in/gQY_NgeD

How can the Worthy for Thirty community do more to support mission-driven brands, charities, and important causes? Is it as simple as bringing them together either during an episode recording, event or behind-the-scenes? How can this community amplify its impact and become a force multiplier for good? These are questions I’ve been thinking about, especially with October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In this clip from my conversation with LOKAI Founder Steven Izen, he captures the spirit of brands eager to make a positive impact, give back, and support the local communities they serve. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Stephen Jeff Marni

On the 25th of April, teams from many different companies will be working together with Google to help the Prinses Máxima Centrum voor kinderoncologie discover ways in which Generative AI can help them in their mission. This mission is to work towards a world where no kid has to go through cancer and where they can live a life free of the long term symptoms that often follow. If you want to help this cause (and it would mean a lot to me if you did), then you can do a couple of things: 1. You can register for the hackathon itself on the 25th of April as a team. Reach out to me if you are interested, we still have a couple of open slots. 2. If you're not of the technical sort, you can donate and help support their mission here: https://lnkd.in/e7C5ditA Let's use technology to make the world a better place :) #cancer #maxima #google #hackathon #fundraiser
