Analyze what is still useful and ask is there a more innovative way that we could do this? Then, put them back together. Consider how you gain feedback. Mindset shift and beliefs or interpretations of the role of the employee. How could we leverage that talent internally? Is there an opportunity? For example, look at your metrics for employee turnover and engagement. Seek a less transactional approach to work. Take small steps. Broaden accountability and make everybody part of the solution. Look for the triple win: employees, customers, and the company itself.

“We can open the doors…but if that individual does not find the passion to go through and take on the challenges, they don't go through. They stay in the same spot.” “I remember studying, afraid to fail because I knew if I failed, I was going back to South Providence, to the streets, which meant jail.” Harry Potter is a retired education and administrative professional who focused on development and implementation of programs for student welfare. With over 31 years of experience in the education field, he has gained expertise as a facilitator, leader, mediator, and motivator. Many can attest to his compassion towards students and wealth of experience in overcoming obstacles and barriers that prevent individuals from reaching their potential. Harry was born in Providence, Rhode Island and attended Providence public schools. As a young man, he displayed a passion for learning and a genuine interest in history and education. This passion led him to be accepted into the Talent Development Program at the University of Rhode Island, where he pursued a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Secondary Education. He graduated in 1980 with a strong foundation for his future career in education. Harry returned to the University of Rhode Island, this time as a full-time staff member in 1984. During his time at the URI, he furthered his academic journey and earned a Masters of Science degree in family counseling in 1987. This advanced degree provided him with valuable insights into helping students and families navigate the challenges they faced. In 1991, Harry decided to focus on making a difference at the grassroots level and joined the Providence School Department as a counselor for elementary and middle schools. His empathetic nature and understanding of family dynamics made him an invaluable asset to the students and their families. Over the next two years, he built strong connections and became a trusted figure for the students he guided. Driven by a desire to take on greater responsibilities and create a more significant impact on the education system, Harry pursued a master’s degree in Secondary Administration at Providence College. In 1993, he graduated and soon embarked on his journey as an educational leader. In 1993, Harry became the Assistant Principal at Mt. Pleasant High School, where he demonstrated his exceptional leadership and organizational skills. Four years later, in 1997, he was appointed as the Principal of Hope High School. Recognizing his leadership capabilities and commitment to student success, Harry was appointed as the Director of the Office of Student Opportunities for the Providence School Department in 2022. In this role, he spearheaded the development and implementation of various District and Community programs aimed at reducing the dropout rate and enhancing student opportunities. His dedication and hard work significantly contributed to creating a more supportive and nurturing educational environment. Harry has not only made a substantial impact in the field of education, but as a leader in the community as well. He has helped thousands of students to reach their educational goals. He has been personally responsible for graduating over 1350 students from his ADEP program known as ‘The Harry Potter program’. After a distinguished career spanning over three decades, Harry Potter retired in 2009, from the Providence School Department. His contributions to education, counseling, and administration left an indelible mark on the lives of students, educators, and families alike. Throughout his career, he championed the importance of providing equal opportunities to all students, fostering a sense of community, and promoting academic excellence. R.O.G.

“The way to be most impactful at work requires us to use skills that many of us were, including myself, were not taught growing up…Many of us were not taught to understand how we're feeling. And how we're feeling impacts our behavior and how our judgments and biases impact our behavior.” - Tonya Ladipo Tonya Ladipo, LCSW is the visionary behind The Ladipo Group, a premier provider for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion consulting and psychotherapy services. The company works with individuals and organizations to elevate the Black experience at home, at work,and in the world. Using her unique perspective as a clinician, Tonya understands the complexities of human behavior and what motivates people and organizations to change. She has a particular passion for understanding the influence of gender, race, sexuality, and intersectionality as it relates to creating psychologically safe and inclusive workspaces where people of all backgrounds can thrive and succeed. Tonya Ladipo worked for many years in community mental health agencies, and soon realized that a one-size-fits-all approach often ignored the needs of Black and African-American people. Institutionalized racism, a lack of diversity, and a failure of cultural awareness all conspired to mean that people of color often received poor treatment. Tonya is on a mission to change that. She works with an incredible team of skilled counselors, therapists, and psychologists who have an expertise in working with Black and African-American communities. What’s more, she leads an ED&I team that consults with companies and organizations to recognize and address unconscious bias and retain diverse talent by creating a truly welcoming and inclusive workplace for everyone. An engaging speaker on diversity and women’s self-care and wellness, Tonya has been the keynote speaker and been a featured panelist for a number of organizations across the U.S. including Black Enterprise, Philadelphia Works’, Villanova University, and Black Women Talk Tech. She has also been featured on radio (National Public Radio (NPR) and WURD Radio), television (NBC-10, Fox-29, and ABC-6), and in magazines (Black Enterprise, Essence, and Madame Noire). Tonya is a graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program (April 2016) and Widener University’s Clinical Social Work Master’s degree program (May 2004). When not working, Tonya is laughing with her identical twin daughters, taking walks alone, and spending time with friends. R.O.G. Takeaway Tips: Do a body scan.

“It does help you biologically for those reasons because cortisol and oxytocin can't coexist in our bodies. Which means the more stressed we are, the less likely we are to be generous, but the reverse is true. If we are feeling really authentically generous toward others, toward ourselves, then the cortisol doesn't have a chance to grow because the oxytocin sort of blocks it out. Either way, generosity can affect us on the inside as well as it affects others on the outside.” - Wendy H. Steele Wendy H. Steele is the founder and CEO of Impact100, a global nonprofit organization dedicated to uniting and empowering women to create a transformational impact in their communities. Since launching Impact100 in 2001, Wendy has dedicated her life to encouraging women to see themselves as both activists and philanthropists, bringing them together in order to unite their efforts, support one another, and enrich their communities as a team. What began as a grassroots effort in Cincinnati has today collectively granted more than $123 million to worthy nonprofits across more than 65 local chapters and four countries. The importance of giving back with the intent to leave the world a little better than she found it was instilled in her from a young age, leading her to see that all of us have something important to give. Wendy believes that, in giving to others, we gain in incalculable ways, and we can encourage others to do the same. Wendy's debut book, Invitation to Impact: Lighting the Path to Community Transformation (MFF Publishing, 2023), shares her personal journey building one of today’s most powerful grassroots organizations and invites women to become part of the solution by impacting their very own communities. Part business book, part memoir, Invitation to Impact provides insights for catalyzing meaningful change by giving women a seat at the table and a chance to join the movement—or spark one within themselves. In recognition of her work with Impact100, Wendy was selected by Forbes for the July 2021 50 over 50 Impact list recognizing women changing communities through social entrepreneurship, law, advocacy, and education. She was also featured as a guest speaker on TEDxBocaRaton in 2014 where she discussed what contagious generosity means and why we should all get involved. In 2020, Wendy was named a Distinguished Honoree of the Jones Prize in Philanthropy from the Institute of Private Investors, and she was also awarded the 2014 Jefferson Award for Public Service for her work with Impact100. She has been featured in several books, including The Transformative Power of Women’s Philanthropy; Women, Wealth and Giving; Women’s Giving Circles; and The Right Sisters – Modern Women Inventors. Wendy lives by the motto “Not I, but we.” She believes that, in order to create a vibrant community, we must understand the community first. For Wendy, the most rewarding part of leading Impact100 is visiting local chapters to celebrate triumphs, big and small, and encouraging more than 30,000 women to make a difference. She resides in Tampa Bay, Florida, and enjoys reading, writing, traveling, walking the beach, and spending time with her husband, Rick, her five adult children, and as well as her dog, Gracie.

106. Karen Catlin - Generous Allyship “One of my favorite approaches for giving people feedback on non-inclusive language or other non-inclusive behavior. And that is, seek common ground and then educate.” - Karen Catlin “Be curious, not furious.” - Karen Catlin Karen Catlin Guest Bio: After spending 25 years building software products and serving as a vice president of engineering at Macromedia and Adobe, Karen Catlin witnessed a sharp decline in the number of women working in tech. Frustrated but galvanized, she knew it was time to switch gears. In 2014, Karen started the Twitter handle @betterallies to share simple, actionable steps that anyone could take to make their workplaces more inclusive.

A self-professed public speaking geek, Karen is a highly sought-after and engaging presenter who has delivered talks at hundreds of conferences and corporate events. Her TEDx talk, “Women in Tech: The Missing Force,” explores the decline in gender diversity in tech, why it’s a problem, and what can be done about it. In addition to speaking herself, Karen is determined to change the ratio for who is on stage giving keynotes and other presentations. To support her goal of bringing more diversity to speaker lineups at tech industry events, she coauthored the book Present! A Techie’s Guide to Public Speaking with Poornima Vijayashanker. In addition to speaking about her books, Karen coaches women to be stronger leaders and men to be better allies for members of all underrepresented groups. Her client roster includes Airbnb, DoorDash, Google, eBay, and Intuit. Her writing on leadership has appeared in Inc., the Daily Beast, Fast Company, and the Muse, and she’s consulted on articles for the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and the New York Times.
