In this podcast I was lucky enough to interview my favorite jewelry designer of all time. Amy Blair of Sun Ah Blair jewelry sells her vibrant and unique pieces in many DC museums. From Baltimore, she grew up loving and studying art. She sketches what she sees in her travels, in nature and incorporates those colors and patterns into her designs.  She'll be selling her pieces at the American Craft Made Show, one of the best craft shows in the country.  It'll take place at the Baltimore Convention Center March 15-17.  I will definitely be going out to meet her in person and buy more of her earrings!  What an amazing story she has about starting a successful business.  You're going to love Amy and her work!  Be sure to listen to her inspiring story.Visit her website: https://www.sunahjewelry.com/ Follow her on IG: https://www.instagram.com/sunahblairjewelry/?hl=en

Grab your own art supplies and follow along as Amy guides you through the "Rooted Woman" drawing exercise, invites you to celebrate the uniqueness of the female form, come back to your creativity, and root into love - as many times as you needed.

Welcome back to the VOE Podcast! In our latest episode, we dive into the importance of human capital investment and effective human resources management with Amy Blair (MBA 1998)—senior vice president and chief people officer for Liberty Global, a world leader in converged broadband, video and mobile communications services. Blair shares the interconnectedness of her human resources career in the cable and telecommunications industry with the Daniels College of Business's emphasis on ethics and values-based business education. The VOE Podcast is an extension of Voices of Experience, the signature speaker series at the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business. Keep tuning in each month for more business insights from Daniels' alumni voices of experience. Transcript Kristal Griffith: Hello, and welcome to the VOE Podcast. Jake Jensen: An extension of Voices of Experience. Amber D'Angelo: The signature speaker series at the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business. We're your hosts. Kristal Griffith: Kristal Griffith. Jake Jensen: Jake Jensen. Amber D'Angelo: And I'm Amber D'Angelo from the Daniels office of communications and marketing. We'll be unpacking topics at the intersection of business and the public good with CEOs and other business leaders from the Daniels community. Let's dive in. Hi everyone, we're back this month to continue our discussion on labor, employment and people management with Amy Blair. Amy is the senior vice president and chief people officer for Liberty Global, one of the world's leading converged video, broadband and communications companies. Liberty Global's consolidated businesses generate annual revenue of more than seven billion dollars and its joint ventures in the U.K. and the Netherlands have a combined annual revenue of more than 17 billion dollars. Amy graduated from the Daniels College of Business in 1998 with her MBA. Welcome to the VOE Podcast, Amy, thanks for joining us today. Amy Blair: Yes, thank you very much for having me. Amber D'Angelo: So, Amy, I was looking at Liberty Global's statistics and they're quite impressive. Your 36,000 employees connect over 85 million subscribers across Europe and the U.K. with next generation services over advanced fiber and 5G networks. And over the last 10 years, Liberty Global has done approximately 300 deals valued at an aggregate of 130 billion euros. That's a lot of work and a lot of people to pull together into one cohesive workforce. Leading such a large global human resources function, can you tell us about some of the highlights and in particular, the challenges? Amy Blair: So, I guess if I step back for context, for those that are listening to this, the industry in which we operate has gone through incredible transformation over the last 30 years that I've worked at Liberty Global. Just look at how far the cable industry has come since the days of the Cable Cowboys to where we are now, which are real leaders in our industry. And if I look at Liberty Global, our own growth has mirrored that transformation, evolving many, many times, and it continues to do so. Amy Blair: Over the last three decades, we've grown from a small startup cable company to now a world leader in converged broadband, video and mobile communication services like you just said. We've operated all over the world, all over the Asia Pacific region and Latin America and throughout Europe, over the years. Today, we operate in eight countries and most of our workforce is in Europe. Amy Blair: So for me personally, it's been amazing to have a front row seat and witness such innovation and transformation. So to your question about the highlights and the challenges of leading an HR function. First, I can start by saying that there have been many highlights and there have been many challenges in the last three decades. I can tell you without hesitation that leading an HR function is difficult in a business that never changes,

As an aspiring author, she loves to write and finds it very cathartic. She loves to look for inspiration in everything and hopes to inspire others through her writing. When she is not writing or parenting you can find her planning her next fix of concert therapy, since music is her lifeline. Amy has learned and experienced a lot about parenting, health, anxiety, depression, God, grief, relationships, struggling, and emotions. You can expect to find her writing to be light-hearted and humorous, but also heavy and emotional. No subject is off-limits, and she often exposes a tremendous amount of vulnerability. On her blog, she hopes that sharing her struggles and experience can teach, inspire, entertain, and make others feel not alone.

During Week Three of our series, Influence, Amy Blair shares a powerful message on anointing.

There are people that come into our lives and completely change us. Maybe it’s a teacher or a coach who really believe in us and encourage us in ways others haven’t. Or maybe it’s a friendship… a friendship that starts under unusual circumstances or in a place you’d least expect… but that friend becomes someone who changes your life. That friend teaches you something about the world around you and teaches you something about yourself. That friend challenges you to do something radical… not in like that “party hard” way… but like, the world-changing, community building, life-altering way. Maybe it’s just that friend you can have real conversations with - that you can speak life and truth to… Can you think of that friend? Now, what if that friend didn’t even speak your native language?  My guest this week is Amy Blair, the founder of Batik Boutique! After moving to Malaysia in 2007, Amy befriended a single mother who helped to teach Amy the language and through their friendship, conversations, and the opening of doors, Amy began Batik Boutique… a business with a vision to provide sustainable income opportunities for women and artisans in Malaysia. I loved my conversation with Amy and I know you will too! Enjoy this episode! Amy: Amy Blair is the Founder and CEO of Batik Boutique, an award winning social enterprise based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Amy has lived in Malaysia for 10 years with her husband and now 3 kids. Amy started Batik Boutique as a response to a gap in the local tourism market and the story of trying to help a local friend who was a single mother trying to make ends meet, and who happened to own a sewing machine. Batik Boutique uses hand-dyed Malaysian textiles to impact the community by: Producing Hand-dyed Textiles: Incorporating textiles hand-dyed by local artisans Empowering Artisans: Training women in life and job skills that lead to income generation Benefitting the Community: Contributing to the practical needs of those around them and giving a portion of proceeds directly to artisan needs To date, there are over 150 artisans including batik producers and seamstresses trained. Amy saw the struggle of women, especially mothers, who did not have sustainable work opportunities, and she started a sewing training centre located in government subsidized housing to offer employment women in marginalized communities.  Amy leads her Batik Boutique team in corporate projects with companies like Volvo, BP, and Starbucks Malaysia supping customized corporate gifts. She worked to establish an international partnership with a US fashion label, establishing Batik Boutique the Malaysian artisan group. She was selected as “Top 50 Expatriates You Should Know” by the Expatriate Lifestyle magazine and was selected as Texas A&M University’s “Top 12 Under 12” Alumni for her contribution to empowering artisans globally.  Her life motto is: “Do all the good you can.
