Are you feeling anxious or depressed because of how lonely you are? Are you wondering "What's wrong with me?" Or maybe your anxiety and depression have you caused you to isolate and create a sense of loneliness you never felt before. Do you feel like no one knows the real you? Well, you're not alone. And why do you feel so alone when you're in a room with family and friends who love you? Or at a concert with tons of people? Because it's not about the quantity of your relationships, it's about the quality. The depth of our connections is all in our mind and that is what's driving whether or not we feel fundamentally lonely. Chronic loneliness is an epidemic that can be both mentally and physically devastating. It's been likened to smoking 15 cigarettes a day! I talk about it all - how loneliness shows up, it's effects on our body and mind, and how to cultivate its invitation to deeper connection.

Virginia Buckingham was the CEO of MassPort (governs Boston's Logan International Airport) on 9/11. She shares a behind the scenes glimpse at what happened that day and in the months after. She also courageously shares how she carried the weight of this historic tragedy and internalized not only her own trauma, but the collective trauma of a nation. Ginny was the first woman to be Chief of Staff to two consecutive Massachusetts governors (Weld + Cellucci) and the first woman to be CEO of the Massachusetts Port Authority. When she resigned from that position in the wake of 9/11, she went on to work for The Boston Herald. She then worked at Pfizer for 14 years, where she pioneered multiple innovative public affairs strategies to support biopharma innovation in the US and abroad, including strategically driving digital advocacy and communications around Pfizer's Covid response. After this remarkable 35-year career as an innovative leader across government, media and industry, she founded Goldthwait Advisors LLC. Ginny wrote the Amazon #1 Bestseller On My Watch which chronicles her leadership through the response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and her personal journey, in particular, her mental health struggles in the years after. She still writes and speaks extensively on lessons of resilience, crisis management, and leadership. She's a member of the American College of Corporate Directors and a member of the highly selective Presidential Leadership Scholars leadership development initiative sponsored by the libraries of four former US Presidents.

Loneliness Is a major factor in physical and mental decline. Connection, often referred to as the opposite of addiction, is vitally important to our happiness and longevity. One in three adults report feeling lonely, so if you are one of those three, you are not alone. This meditation will invite you to lean into the loneliness and listen. Listen to what is seeks and promises. Deeper connection with yourself, more genuine connection with others and more stimulating connection with the world around you is available on the other side of fear. This meditation will also invite you to pour into your heart the love and gratitude that is always accessible if we are still and quiet enough to feel it. I hope you enjoy!

Anxiety, worry and fear cannot co-exist with love and gratitude. This meditation is both a practice and an invitation. Both are inspired by the healing properties of gratitude - both physical and mental. In this practice I guide you through a list of simple pleasures and profound treasures that are just a few things I love and am so grateful for. I'm sure you will love them too! The invitation is then open for you to sit in your own space of gratitude and create a list of what you truly love. What makes your heart sing? Uncovering and rediscovering all the wonders we look past, all the small but significant gifts that we once adored and now have simply adapted to. What dazzles and enchants you? What makes you feel alive and safe and loved and grateful beyond measure? In this space our anxieties melt away and remind us to open and soften and love again. Sending love!

About Mark Dembo '86:Mark Dembo wore many hats with the Cornell Media Guild from 1982-1986. He was an On-Air DJ, Salesman, Sales Manager, Vice President, and General Manager. His choice of wearing ties made for a great professional look, but he didn't have the smoothest of rides (typical shenanigans for the Cornell Media Guild). He almost went into hiding following the near-disaster of a Bruce Springsteen ticket giveaway, and we finally close the book on the FM93 Coca-Cola Cruiser promotion three decades later. (Warren Kurtzman, this one's for you.)  Mark earned his bachelor's degree in Industrial and Labor Relations and currently serves as the Regional Director of Corporate Programs for eCornell/Cornell External Education. He is also an elected member of the alumni Board of Directors! Connect with Mark Dembo '86:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdembo/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mdembo/ For this Giving Tuesday (December 1st) consider supporting the next generation of media leaders through the Cornell Media Guild Endowment Fund: https://bit.ly/cmgendowment Connect with Christopher Morales '20:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmoralesq/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prideofmorales/

S01E10 - „Good Job!“ Wie sieht ein Good Job eigentlich in der Praxis aus? Im Staffelfinale des Good Job! Podcasts ist Lucas Sauberschwarz, Gründer und Geschäftsführer von Venture Idea zu Gast bei Lysander. Der Co-Leiter des Center of New Work am SGMI Management Institut St. Gallen spricht über seine Erfahrungen und ein Unternehmen, dass für den Mitarbeiter arbeitet und nicht wie üblich anders herum. Außerdem zu Gast ist Daniel Schmidlin, Leiter des Center of New Work und Direktor der Corporate Programs am SGMI. Gemeinsam mit Michael und Michel der Rheinische Post Mediengruppe blicken alle zurück auf die letzten zehn Folgen und resümieren, was einen Good Job eigentlich aus macht. Warum die Herausforderungen der neuen Arbeitswelt unausweichlich sind und was die RP mit einem Sportwagen auf holpriger Strecke zu tun hat, erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge! Wie hat euch die erste Staffel des Good Job! Podcasts gefallen? Haben wir, eurer Meinung nach, einen guten Job gemacht und welche Anmerkungen habt ihr noch an uns? Habt ihr Themen, die in der neuen Staffel unbedingt nicht fehlen dürfen? Wir freuen uns über euer Feedback an ichwilleinen@goodjob.jetzt. Alle Infos findet ihr unter www.goodjob.jetzt oder www.zeitgeist.rp-online.de/goodjob/ Wer keine Folge verpassen möchte, kann den Podcast jetzt schon auf iTunes und Spotify abonnieren oder folgenden Link zu seinem Podcast Player hinzufügen: https://podcasts.rp-online.de/goodjob/feed/podcast/ Show Notes [00:00] Staffelfinale und noch immer muss Lysander auf Alexander verzichten. Doch für das Thema „Good Job in der Praxis" hat er sich Verstärkung aus den eigenen Reihen eingeladen. [01:58] Was verstehen wir eigentlich unter einem Good Job? Mit dieser Frage empfängt Lysander Lucas Sauberschwarz in den Podcast. Der Gründer und Geschäftsführer von Venture Idea ist Co-Autor des im Frühjahr 2019 erscheinenden Buchs „Good Job! - Neue Impulse für eine absurde Arbeitswelt“ und seit Herbst 2018 Co-Direktor des Center of New Work am SGMI Management Institut St. Gallen. [05:48] Wie sieht eigentlich die alte Arbeitswelt aus, wie die neue? Und wie können die anstehenden Herausforderungen von Unternehmen gestemmt werden? Hierfür fordert Lucas Sauberschwarz ein zukünftig höheres Engagement beim Mitgestaltung des Wandels vom Geschäftsführer bis zum Mitarbeiter. Den glückliche Mitarbeiter sind erwiesenermaßen produktiver. [09:53] Das Stichwort lautet Flexibilität, zumindest sieht das Daniel Schmidlin so, seines Zeichen Leiter des Center of New Work am SGMI. Unternehmer verlangen mehr Flexibilität von Ihren Mitarbeitern, während die wiederum mehr Flexibilität vom Arbeitgeber verlangen. Eine Win-Win-Situation sollte man glauben, doch in der Praxis nur all zu selten sichtbar. Denn viele Unternehmen neigen dazu, Herausforderungen erst dann ernst zu nehmen, wenn sie schon zum Problem geworden sind. [13:19] Warum ein Good Job für die Mitarbeiter erstrebenswert ist liegt auf der Hand, doch welchen wirtschaftlichen Mehrwert bieten glückliche Arbeitskräfte der Vorstandsebene? Für Lucas Sauberschwarz handelt es sich in einer Zeit, in der die Effizienz an ihre Grenzen stößt, hierbei um den „letzten großen Hebel“ für signifikanten Unternehmenserfolg und wirtschaftliches Wachstum. Heute ist Technologie schon lange kein Engpass mehr, heute ist es die Unternehmenskultur, weiß auch Daniel Schmidlin. [19:26] Ein Blick in die Praxis: Was mach Venture Idea zu einem solch besonderen Unternehmen? Der Ursprung steckt schon in der Gründung, denn hier ging es Lucas Sauberschwarz vor allem darum, konventionelle Logiken auszuhebeln, und ein Unternehmen zu schaffen, das für den Mitarbeiter arbeitet und nicht wie üblich andersrum. [25:03] Reflexion vs Reflex - eine Gegenüberstellung, die wie kaum eine andere die Probleme von vielen New Work Maßnahmen beschreibt. Lysander resümiert die letzten Folgen während Lucas Sauberschwarz Praxisbeispiele zur Mitarbeitergewinnung gibt. Unternehmen suchen noch zu oft nach einem Lebenslauf, während es eigentlich darum geht, einen Menschen zu finden. [32:34] Freiheit und Selbstständigkeit stehen oft im Gegensatz zueinander. Als Geschäftsführer fallen viele Aufgaben auf die Mitarbeiterführung zurück. Ein hoher Zeitaufwand findet Lucas Sauberschwarz. Er plädiert daher darauf, bereits bei der Einstellung nach Mitarbeitern zu suchen, die in der Lage sind sich selbst zu managen. Ist es dafür zu spät, kann der Führungsaufwand langfristig reduziert werden, indem man ihn mehr dazu nutzt, Mitarbeiter auszubilden sich selbst zu organisieren. [38:43] Unternehmenswechsel sind heute keine Seltenheit mehr. Will man als Geschäftsführer seine Mitarbeiter langfristig an das Unternehmen binden, darf nicht außer Acht gelassen werden, dass langjährige Mitarbeiter fortlaufend neue Entwicklungsstufen in ihrem privaten Umfeld erreichen. Wenn Unternehmen nicht bereit sind, diese Entwicklungen zu akzeptieren oder bestenfalls sogar zu unterstützen, werden sich Mitarbeiter langfristig distanzieren. [43:19] M&M übernehmen und erzählen, wie sie Good Job für sich definieren und bewerten, ob sie bei der Rheinische Post Mediengruppe selbst einen guten Job haben. [49:07] Um als Unternehmen erfolgreich zu bleiben und auch langfristig zu funktionieren, muss die RP das gesamte Potenzial ihrer Mitarbeiter nutzen. Laut Michael funktioniert das über die individuelle Veränderung der Rahmenbedingungen der Arbeit. [55:47] Michael erläutert die Schwierigkeiten großer Unternehmen wie der RP bei laufendem Betrieb weitreichende Änderungen durchzuführen. Fortschritt kann nur über kleinere Schritte geschehen und wird immer wieder Probleme mit sich bringen, die es gilt gemeinsam anzugehen. [01:00:21] Feierabend und Staffelende! Ein großer Dank geht an die vielen Experten, die bei uns zu Gast waren und uns mit Ihren Erfahrungen begeistert haben. Außerdem danken wir unseren treuen Zuhörern und dem fleißigen Feedback! Wir freuen uns schon auf die nächste Staffel!

Subscribe to this podcast on iTunes by clicking here: http://bit.ly/ymotwitunes or on Stitcher by clicking here: http://bit.ly/ymotwstitcher. Social Entrepreneur Charles Best, founder of DonorsChoose.org, created what could be described as the first crowdfunding site, despite the fact that that term wouldn’t come into vogue for another decade. In 2000, Best launched the site to solve a clear problem. “Public school teachers spent an average of $485 of his/her own money to pay for school supplies, instructional materials and other classroom materials. Across the U.S., this adds up to $1.6 billion in out-of-pocket expenses for teachers (2013 National School Supply and Equipment Association Retail Market Awareness Study). Innovative approaches are needed to help public school classrooms,” he says. For the past six years, Chevron has been partnering with DonorsChoose.org to generate funds for teachers with its Fuel Your School program. A year ago, I covered the campaign for the first time. Last year, $7.1 million went to teachers in 22 communities, supporting 6,459 local public school projects impacting 715,145 students, according to Chevron. Blair Blackwell, Manager of Education and Corporate Programs at Chevron, explains, “From Oct. 1 through Oct. 31, 2015, Chevron’s Fuel Your School program will donate $1, up to a total of nearly $8.8 million, to help fund eligible classroom projects when consumers purchase 8 or more gallons of fuel at participating local Chevron and Texaco stations in 21 U.S. markets.” The program’s reach in 2015 could approach 1 million students. “Since its inception in 2010, Chevron’s Fuel Your School has helped fund more than 23,000 classroom projects at 4,433 schools in the U.S.,” Blackwell adds.

AUDIO TITLE:  Liz Cooper Interview for “30 Days – 30 Voices – Stories from America’s LGBT Business Leaders” Jenn T Grace: Welcome to 30 Days, 30 Voices: Stories from America's LGBT business leaders. Intro: You are listening to a special edition of the Gay Business and Marketing Made Easy Podcast. Tune in for the next thirty days as we interview one business leader per day each day in June to celebrate LGBT Pride Month. That's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender pride month. You'll learn insights around business and marketing from those who know it best. And now, your host. She's an entrepreneur, a marketing maven, and an advocate for the LGBT business community - Jenn, with two N's, T. Grace. Jenn T Grace: Hello and welcome. Thank you for tuning in to this special Pride Month episode of the Gay Business and Marketing Made Easy Podcast. Information about today's guest and links mentioned in the show will be available on the website at www.JennTGrace.com/30days-30voices. If you like what you hear in this interview, please be sure to tell a friend. And now, without further ado, let's dive into the interview. I am delighted to be talking with Liz Cooper today, who is the manager of Corporate Programs for the Workplace Project at the Human Rights Campaign. She is the go-to gal for all things regarding the Corporate Equality Index which does come up a great deal on this podcast. So Liz, I've given the listeners just a really high-level highlight of your most recent work, but why don't you tell the audience a little bit more about yourself and what your path looked like that led you to where you are today. Liz Cooper: Absolutely, so thanks so much for having me. I'm Liz Cooper as Jenn mentioned, manager at Corporate Programs at the Human Rights Campaign. I've been here just about three years now and so for folks who are not familiar with the Human Rights Campaign, we're the organization that goes along the blue and yellow equal sign. We're the largest civil rights organization working for LGBT equality in the US and I've been with HRC just about three years. And the project that I work on, the Workplace Project, deals with how companies are ensuring the safety, inclusive policies, benefits, protections for their LGBT employees. And as Jenn mentioned, the main mechanism that we measure and evaluate, the status of LGBT equality in the workplace, is through the Corporate Equality Index. So the CEI has been around for over ten years now, and it was really- and not to be too corny but an honor to inherit such a well-established and respected project when I came along on board with the team. So the CEI is a very objective measure of LGBT equality in the workplace. It doesn't account for employee surveys or their perception of their own personal experience with the company. It really is, 'Do you have these inclusive policies in place or do you not? Do you have these benefits for your LGBT employees or do you not?' So it's a really great objective measure and while it's also reporting out on the status of LGBT equality in these major US employers, our main focus is for those employers with 500 or more full-time employees; so we're talking about the big guys. But it's not just a report out, it's also a roadmap for folks who might now be scoring that well, might not have the most inclusive policies on the books. But we're here to help folks get there. We don't want to shame companies or make them feel bad about not being the best they can be,

Today's podcast episode is meant as a pre-cursor to the next episode! Each year the Human Rights Campaign puts out their Corporate Equality Index (CEI) which is something I absolutely swear by. This index helps me understand what companies are doing good for the LGBT community and what companies are not. In episode #52 of the podcast I will be doing a recap of the 2015 HRC CEI. But before doing that I wanted to first give you an idea of who the HRC is and what they do through the eyes of one their own - Liz Cooper, manager of the Workplace Project. I hope you enjoy!
