fellows to mentor them through questions regarding their
IAP's, discussed issues of gender and equity, connected with the ELAM
community, and even practiced yoga.
As Nancy Spector, ELAM's Executive Director, said, "We were thrilled to have so many ELUMs come together to continue and expan
d their leadership learning, and to reconnect with this exceptional community of women."

Harvard Business Review, April 10, 2017:
Congratulations! You got the job. Now for the hard part: deciding whether to accept it or not. How should you assess the salary as well as the other perks? Which publicly available information should you rely on? How should you try to get a better deal? And what's the best way to decline an offer if it's not the right job for you?
Doximity, October 22, 2017:
So stated one of our children in their autobiography assignment for school. I kept reading, curious what would come next.
"My dad usually stays home and cleans up, and takes care of the pets."
I thought for a moment. "That's very good, honey, but do you think you could write something else about Dad?" I suggested. "He does other stuff too, add some more nice things."
"Ok, how about ... 'And he takes care of us, because my mom works all the time.'"
Ugh, not exactly what I was going for. I tried not to show any hurt feelings on my face. "Honey, I don't work all the time, do I?"

Authentic, genuine... and easy for anyone to do. Even introverts like me.
Harvard Business Review, December 12, 2017:
Several months ago, a CEO I'll call Elana, who is deaf, approached me for coaching. As we talked through her leadership skills and organizational political landscape, I quickly realized she was a fantastic listener. As a deaf person, Elana is more intentional about how she listens. In our meetings, Elana and I talk at a slower pace. Elana doesn't interrupt, and I pause whenever I notice Elana taking notes so that she has the chance to read my lips. We tend to have less confusion because Elana is quick to ask for a clarification if she doesn't understand a word.

Harvard Business Review, January 3, 2018:
Disagreements are an inevitable, normal, and healthy part of relating to other people. There is no such thing as a conflict-free work environment. You might dream of working in a peaceful utopia, but it wouldn't be good for your company, your work, or you. In fact, disagreements - when managed well - have lots of positive outcomes. Here are a few.

Knowledge@Wharton, January 5, 2018:
The topic of workplace diversity has vexed businesses and employees for decades. Increasing diversity has long been promoted as the right thing to do, but that notion could be viewed as simplistic and ignoring the deep benefits that inclusion can bring to an organization. Scott Page, a professor of complex systems at the University of Michigan, tackles the issue in his new book, The Diversity Bonus: How Great Teams Pay Off In The Knowledge Economy.
