At Wild Orchard, we've successfully introduced the world's first Regenerative Organic Certified teas, a testament to our dedication to exceptional quality, beyond sustainable farming practices, and farmworker fairness.    Wild Orchard teas have earned 24 medals at the most prestigious global tea competitions, and can be found in top organic retailers like Whole Foods, Wegmans, and many others.

"The demand for wellness solutions in real estate is rapidly growing. Whether you are a builder, architect, designer, integrator or developer, I encourage you to explore offering wellness-focused products and services.

How can companies — especially large companies — achieve that perfect triad of collaboration between the design, business, and technology teams? It’s a perennial question that remains largely unsolved. We’ll tell you what’s decidedly not helping. Those balanced, beautiful Venn diagrams keynote speakers present at industry conferences illustrating the ideal design, business, tech dynamic. Behind the scenes, design teams make fun of these cliched diagrams because they know real-world working relationships are lopsided. Business or tech reign, and design is too often seen as a mere contributing cog instead of an equal leader. Clearly, achieving cross-team balance takes more than sketching circles. To gain respect, designers need to bolster their business IQs. In fintech, that means learning about markets, trading, rates, money movement — all to show the business team that you do get their end-game and you are contributing to their strategy. Even with business-savvy designers in your corner, this kind of collaboration is always hard. And it requires a more modern design mindset. It might seem impossible for large, complex organizations to work together — and work quickly — like startups seem to do. Listen as host J Cornelius and guest Jose Coronado discuss leading efficient, cross-functional teams, even within legacy fintech companies. Topics IncludeWhy your design organization should run like a businessHow to get your teams to stop arguing and complaining, and start articulating needs stakeholders can get behindApplying today’s design thinking to yesterday’s big bank infrastructureAbout Jose Coronado Jose Coronado is the Executive Director, Head of DesignOps at JPMorgan. He helps UX teams amplify their impact, and companies maximize the business value of investing in design. As a design executive and management consultant, Jose’s work includes projects with organizations like McKinsey, Accenture, Aquent, Bain Capital, and AIG. Jose’s impressive career spans leadership roles with Fortune 500 companies ADP, Oracle, and AT&T, among others. He is also the Managing Editor of Design Impact, a digital publication where he shares leadership lessons from emerging and established design leaders around the world.

In today’s episode, Kelli and I are tackling a big topic: How does design impact your business? Design is a hot topic these days, but we don’t often talk about how design impacts your business as a whole. The truth is, good design can be a super power, but bad design can wreak havoc on a business in equal measure. Products need to be designed in a way that enables users and delights them in order to deliver and grow the solution they were designed to provide.

She thoroughly enjoys volunteering with these and other organizations in her community, but her favorite thing to do is spend time with her daughter Nila.Right from the start, Ashlee started by telling us three things she believes has helped her not only get to her positions of leadership, but also what has helped keep her there. Those three things: Showing up into spaces by being her authentic self, being bold, and speaking truth to power. Ashlee also explained to us that her ability to speak up when needed and not just when prompted, has helped shape her service in the workplace and the community. As the show continued, Ashlee reminds listeners not to just be happy to be at the table, “If you’re not speaking out, then you’re not serving your purpose.” Continuing further into the interview, Ashlee shared with us what success and failure has taught her thus far. She explained that success has taught her to remain humble and not settle. She also says that success reminds her to never forget the bigger picture and the overall goal. She shared that failure has taught her to not be so critical of herself, “As black women, we wear so many hats. So when we drop something or feel like we failed, we dismiss everything we’ve achieved. That has taught me to look at failure as a learning opportunity.”Overall, Ashlee Young dropped so many good leadership tidbits on this episode, here is a quick summary of a few: Don't be afraid to ask for help as you achieve success, remember to remain humble and committed to the larger cause, don't be so critical of yourself, formal and informal mentors and sponsors are important, don't lose sight of why you are at the table, and while you're leading you have to speak up but you also need to listen as well. In addition, have your own personal board of directors in your life, those people who will affirm you but also tell you the truth. These people will help you navigate your career but also be there and serve as champions for you. Be sure to check out the full podcast to hear more of Ashlee's thoughts and leadership advice!!

This episode starts with a question: “what if the architectural design of an obstetric unit influenced the c-section rate in that unit?” That question occurred to obstetrician/gynecologist Neel Shah when he attended a presentation by Michael Murphy, the co-founder and executive director of Mass Design, an architectural design and research firm that focuses particularly on healthcare architecture. Neel thinks about c-section rates all the time and is a leading researcher in the field of maternal health. C-section rates vary widely throughout the US – from 7 to 70%, and where a woman delivers better predicts whether she will get a c-section than her own personal risk factors. So, Michael Murphy’s contention that “Architecture is never neutral. It either heals or hurts” stayed with Neel and inspired him to pursue a research initiative between Mass Design and his research group, Ariadne Labs. Neel Shah and two of his collaborators, Amie Shao and Deb Rosenberg, researchers and architects with Mass Design, join us to talk about their collaboration and the report they produced. Amie Shao is a director with MASS Design Group, where she oversees research focusing on health infrastructure planning and evaluation. In addition to guiding impact research for MASS built projects, she coordinated the production of National Health Infrastructure Standards for the Liberian Ministry of Health and has been involved in the design and evaluation of healthcare facilities in Haiti, Africa, and the United States. Deb Rosenberg joined MASS in 2015, with a unique background in healthcare and architecture. Throughout her career in nursing and architecture is a common ambition to promote health and well-being, and she believes that the spaces where people live, work and heal have the capacity to greatly support or restrict our human potential. Neel Shah, MD, MPP, is Assistant Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology at Harvard Medical School, and director of the Delivery Decisions Initiative at Ariadne Labs. His team is currently collaborating with hospitals across the United States, and using methods from design, systems engineering, and management to reduce the epidemic of avoidable c-sections.

In our last episode, community architect Sandra Kulli talked to us about fostering human connection through the design of extraordinary places. Today we are excited to share this very special episode of Results May Vary. We’re featuring this year’s Stanford d.school Civic Innovation Fellows, which this year was sponsored by Knight Foundation. This event was recently recorded live as the fellows wrapped up their program and reflected back on their journey of learning design thinking. Fellows are “restless experts” in their field, accomplished professionals who are focused on accelerating large-scale impact. Over the course of the year, they learn human-centered design and use it to explore, experiment and advance ambitious projects in their sector. You’ve already met one of the fellows. In Episode 16, Dr. Mick Smyer, talked about his organization Graying Green which is focused on tapping older adults as a resource for climate action. Today you’ll also be introduced to Angie McKee, the Director of Innovation and Strategy for San Francisco Unified School District's Future Dining Experience. Her project uses student input to reimagine and redesign the school dining experience in order to make it more equitable and enjoyable for all students. You will also meet Mark Brand, one of Canada’s most recognized social entrepreneurs. Having successfully created eleven businesses in Vancouver, Mark and his teams are determined to breathe new life into marginalized and isolated communities through food, training and meaningful employment. Mario Lugay is a one-time community organizer turned philanthropy entrepreneur with his initiative, Giving Side. Mario explores bringing the best of technology to the best side of ourselves, testing initiatives that will catalyze and support our society's single largest, shared civic act: giving. And finally, a fifth fellow, Sydney Smith-Heimbrock was unable to join the conversation. But her work is no less than helping make our government a workplace that unlocks creativity to solve the complex problems facing our Nation. Within the Federal government, she leads the Innovation Lab@OPM, where they teach human-centered design through workshops and immersion projects with Federal leaders and professionals. Tracy had the honor of working with these fellows over the past year and we are pleased to introduce them to you today in partnership with the Stanford d.school.

Social and Civic Innovation Specialist Tamaya Dennard spends her time sparking civic engagement at Design Impact, a nonprofit design firm focused on social justice and social change issues. It’s no wonder she went from being voted “most likely to change the world” in high school to working as an agent of change, but just how did she make the leap from real estate to politics? We talk about how she went from stuffing envelopes for a friend to managing PG Sittenfeld's political campaign, why quitting a "good job" to work at City Hall for a MUCH lower salary (thank goodness she had an understanding landlord!) was a pivotal moment, how she leverages the relationships she’s built to make a difference in the community, and why it’s important to create opportunities for people from diverse backgrounds to come together.
