The Future of Work is Diverse, Inclusive, Just and Equitable

GlobalMindED closes the equity gap by creating a capable, diverse talent pipeline through connections to role models, mentors, internships for low-income students, returning adults, First Gen to college and inclusive leaders who teach them, work with them and hire them.
Rx for Resilience: Comeback

The nation and the world cheered on, prayed for and sent healing vibes to Buffalo Bills football player, Damar Hamlin. Yesterday, he began breathing on his own and is showing encouraging signs of recovery, despite the odds of his serious cardiac arrest on the football field last week.

Our prayers are that Damar will be a “comeback” kid and show us all the seemingly impossible ways we might heal, do the unthinkable and/or participate in life’s miracles.

Consider what or who in your life needs a miracle and open your heart and mind, as Damar is now, to the possibility of that reality.   Miracles happen every minute of every day and you can participate in that deep, powerful healing for yourself and others.
