Hawthorne Advertising’s Post

I joined Greenough Communications just over a year ago with the support of an amazingly talented leadership team of Christine Williamson, Jen Heady, Jessika Parry, and Kenneth Craig – and newly added, but I can’t imagine us without her – Nicole Murphy, and a vision. Together, we will make it a reality. I’m incredibly grateful - and honored - to follow in the footsteps of Phil Greenough. Over the last 25 years, he founded and led Greenough through several incredible inflection points across the #technology, #healthcare, and #energy industries and provided us with a proven playbook to tackle the ones yet to come. From Fortune 500 companies to the many startups, he was there penning new narratives and disrupting markets. His mark on the communications field and this agency is undeniable, and I look forward to continuing his legacy.   What’s next is still unwritten, but what I do know is we will: ➡ Have fun defining the “new rules” for agencies to live by. As Eleanor Hawkins recently said, the “challenger firms” will be the ones that have senior leaders who walk side-by-side with their clients, deliver the strategy, and generate the results vs. relying on those who are just cutting their teeth in the field. That model is broken. We are an agency of experienced, creative practitioners who love what we do and still get a high while doing it. We are the challenger firm she speaks of, and we are rising. https://lnkd.in/eiUDJNbq ➡ Hone in on our “Zones of Genius.” Our Guest Lecture series, featuring industry experts sharing insights on their journey, innovative tools, and lessons from their experiences, remains a cornerstone. Additionally, our quarterly one-on-one trainings go beyond mere support; they're about uplifting each other to ensure our clients are receiving the best work and have our best minds working together to deliver that work. It's not just about being on the team; it's a mindset that consistently revolves around our clients, focusing on how we can continuously enhance and deliver exceptional results. ➡ Be present. This remote world can be distracting, and it can feel monotonous. But collectively, we will be keeping each other focused and present. Present as trends start bubbling up to the surface, at industry events and client summits, in the ever-changing world and all its teachings for us to be and operate at our best.   Let’s do this, Greenough team!!   And thank you, Jess Ruderman, for taking the time to meet with me and for this great piece in PRWeek! bit.ly/3StNsT4

We’ve all seen it before—a promising candidate passed over for a role because they didn’t quite “feel like the right fit,” or a deserving employee overlooked for a promotion due to unconscious biases lurking beneath the surface. These decisions, often made in the moment, can have long-lasting impacts on your organization’s culture, innovation, and reputation. At Woods Kovalova Group, we know that feelings and gut instincts are no longer enough when it comes to building a diverse and inclusive workforce. The stakes are simply too high. That’s why we’ve developed our Principled-Centered Insurgent Leadership Framework (https://lnkd.in/egkEMfi7), which emphasizes data-driven decision-making as the key to eliminating bias and fostering true inclusion within your organization.

Celebrating FIESTA - San Antonio's Spirit of Diversity & Strength! 🎉   It’s FIESTA! San Antonio, Texas is a city rich in culture and history, and the place we proudly call home at SideKick Operators.    FIESTA San Antonio began in 1891, rooted in tradition, honoring the heroes of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. It has since blossomed into an electrifying festival that spotlights our city's diverse cultures, contributing over $340 million to the local economy. It's not just a party; it's a reflection of the strength and work ethic that fortify the backbone of America. As we enjoy the fiesta, we're reminded of the power of community and the impact of unity in diversity. Sidekick Operators stands in solidarity with the enduring spirit of San Antonio, celebrating the rich cultural history that inspires our commitment to innovation, leadership, and success in essential-services industries. 🛠️💼   We are more than business leaders; we are part of a community that rises early, makes a difference, and embraces the work in teamwork. Let's celebrate FIESTA, where the spirit of San Antonio shines, fueling our mission to grow not only businesses, but legacies of teamwork, impact, and shared values.   Happy FIESTA, San Antonio! 🎈 #FIESTASanAntonio #SidekickOperators #Community #Diversity #BusinessGrowth #SanAntonioPride #EssentialServices Justin Steen Chris Galvan Phil Miner Chris Valletta Scott Odom Shawn Koval Beth Lloyd Lili Gil Valletta Bridgehead IT Summit Companies OWL Services The Miner Corporation

Did you know EdTrust-Midwest was among the many organizations across Michigan that understood the importance of implementing new national college- and career-ready standards and of Michigan’s leadership in the development of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium? These initiatives enabled Michigan to adopt an assessment system that was aligned with higher national standards and comparable across more than 20 states using the same system.

Yesterday, I had the honor of hosting an AMA with my team at Walmart, diving into topics from how I think about work-life balance to our change control processes. During the session, I shared one of my favorite Reed Hastings quotes (which he changed stylistically from time to time), "We suck today compared to what we're going to be." This quote, often misunderstood, celebrates both our progress and our potential to keep innovating. Read more about that storied quote here: https://lnkd.in/eSRGqBHJ

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. 😊
