Top-ranked chess player Magnus Carlsen turned his controversial denim into some greens—for charity. The Norwegian chess grandmaster announced in February that he is auctioning off the Italian luxury brand jeans that started a dress code dispute at December's World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships. Carlsen ultimately quit the New York competition after accepting a $200 fine while refusing to change his pants. While the tournament's governing body agreed to loosen the dress code, Carlsen parted with his infamous britches. Chess fanatics and #JeansGate followers had the chance to own Carlsen's pair of size 32 regular-fit Corneliani jeans. The auction was scheduled to end March 1. Listed as pre-owned but in “good” condition on eBay, the pants' highest offer was $8,200 as of the morning of February 21. Proceeds went to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBBSA), a national youth-mentoring charity that carries out its mission through local chapters across 5,000 communities nationwide. According to BBBSA President and CEO Artis Stevens, they will be used to “bring mentorship to even more youth through chess clinics, community events, and more, equipping them with the skills and confidence to navigate life's challenges.” Stevens said chess has long been a favorite activity for program participants that creates opportunities for critical thinking and lifelong connections. “Magnus Carlsen has captivated the world with his brilliance in chess, and now, this iconic piece of chess history will help inspire and empower the next generation through mentorship," Stevens said.

Purpose is under pressure.Last year, we said 2022 would bring a “great reckoning” for corporate purpose – and it did. ESG made headlines and came under fire. Urgency around climate action accelerated, as progress failed to cool our planet. Employees shuffled between companies in search of greater meaning, pay, and balance. Twelve months later, we're left feeling unsettled, but sure of one thing: When a strategy like purpose causes this much tension and change throughout the global economy, it's for a good reason.It is now a new year, bringing new opportunities for change, commitments, and action. But what challenges will purpose face this year? And how will purpose guide us to transformative change and progress?We invited four great minds and leaders in purpose to answer these questions. Damon Jones, Chief Communications Officer at P&G; Shannon Schuyler, Chief Purpose and Inclusion Officer at PwC; Artis Stevens, President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America; and Martin Whittaker, CEO of JUST Capital have joined Carol to share their insight, predictions, and advice for acting with purpose and succeeding in 2023.Resources + Links:Damon Jones' LinkedInShannon Schuyler's LinkedInArtis Stevens' LinkedInMartin Whittaker's LinkedIn (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Purpose Predictions 2023 (02:07) - Shannon Schuyler (13:41) - Damon Jones (21:36) - Martin Whittaker (37:37) - Artis Stevens (55:36) - Wrap Up

Imagine an organization where 70 percent of the clients are young people of color, and the goal is to pair these kids with adult mentors who can help guide them through their lives. When Artis Stevens became the first Black President and CEO of Big Brothers and Big Sisters Of America in their 118-year history, he understood the significance of that moment. But his goal was to do more than just represent. He wanted to make an impact. So what would you do if the challenge was to make sure that a beloved American institution continued its tradition of placing “Bigs with Littles”, but you also wanted to ensure that this process was as inclusive as possible? Would you stick with old methods that worked “fine” 20 or 30 years ago? Or would you make sure that kids of all identities could match with a mentor that was exactly the right fit for them?
