You will be surprised to learn what really happened. We talked about the way the show has changed over the years. Laura told us about her mediumship and how she has developed since Amy Allan told her she has abilities. Laura was amazing, we adore her and are so appreciative of her taking the time to join us. And remember, don't judge the client by the cut.You're going to hear two censor beeps, that was when Laura mentioned some family members' names and we cut it. Shake yourself up a Laura Lane signature cocktail (recipe courtesy of Pourhouse 222) and join us where The Activity Continues.Stay in your MF-ing Lane1.25 oz Titos Vodka.75 oz pomegranate juice1 lemon, muddled1 lemon, muddled2 full drippers of White Balsamic1 oz white cranberry juice.5 oz simple syrup2 dash ginger bitterstop with ginger ale.Content Warning:In this episode we mention racism, the KKK, murder, suicide, and a short mention of someone in history who kicked dogs, so trigger warning for those who need it.

  Throughout Women's History Month, we're bringing you a special series of the ESG Insider podcast focused on women in leadership. We're speaking to women CEOs and executives from across industries and around the globe.   In this episode, we interview Laura Lane, Executive Vice President and Chief Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Officer at UPS, a multinational shipping & receiving and supply chain management company.  Laura explains how her "life-changing" experience as a Foreign Affairs officer during the civil war in Rwanda impacted her outlook on life and leadership.   "That taught me the importance of people, the importance of principles, and gave me that internal courage to challenge the status quo, advocate for new paths — and in many ways, set me on the path to eventually joining the private sector and being a part of the change that we wanted to see in how companies show up in the world," Laura says.  Laura explains how her leadership style has evolved over the course of her career. "One of the constants has always been something that was career advice that I was given early on in my Foreign Service days, which was: Don't wait for someone to give you a title to act. Lead from where you are," she says.  Diversity in leadership has received increasing attention in recent years from stakeholders in the sustainability world. Investors have pushed for diversity on company boards and management teams, and in some parts of the world, that push has extended to laws and regulations. But the number of women in top roles remains low.

Many people have a list – some big, some small, some rational, some not – of things we are afraid of. My list includes:Climbing out of an airplane.Coming in last.Being left alone.Losing my child.Never being happy again.Some of our fears like to trick us while some are harder to let go off. Many people would think that sky diving is the scariest thing a person could ever do; at the time it was for me, but I was determined to overcome it. I spent thirty years promising myself that I was going to climb out of a plane myself, not strapped to anyone, and when I did, I found it extremely empowering. Once I was willing to take the leap, I discovered that I'm capable of doing anything. The key is to be prepared. “If ye are prepared ye shall not fear.”https://www.lauralane.ca/books

Emotions are all over the place when you're faced with a life-threatening illness. When it's your young child with the diagnosis, it's easy to fall into denial and despair. Instead, this week's guest took hope, grew her belief, and turned it into faith.When her 11-year-old daughter, Celeste, was diagnosed with pineoblastoma in 2011, Laura relied on following doctor's orders. Eventually though, something told her that she should start researching the diagnosis. In a 1 to 23.5 billion chance, Laura found another girl the same age as Celeste with the same diagnosis at the same time.The two girls met and navigated some of the treatment together and Laura fostered a relationship with the other mom. What Laura discovered through it all was the importance of maintaining hope, believing in something bigger than yourself, and faith that all will work out as it should.Laura's story is incredibly powerful, from a tragic accident as a young girl to the work and hope she's spreading today.About Laura Lane:Laura Lane specializes in providing loving faith-based support for moms whose kids are fighting for their lives.

Corporations feel like they have to take on social issues, but as we've been discussing, doing so isn't easy. Recent research from RepTrak found that 36 percent of consumers have "felt betrayed" by what a company stands for, and 47 percent have stopped doing business with the company as a result. 63 percent prefer to do business with companies that "stand for a purpose that reflects their values and beliefs, and will avoid those that do not." We sat down with Laura Lane, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at UPS, who had some great food for thought on the topic.

Laura Lane, the Adult Literacy Connector for Poughkeepsie and Dutchess County, visits RadioRotary to describe the programs treating functional illiteracy in adults that are available from the volunteers of Literary Connections of the Hudson Valley. Functional illiteracy is more than just inability to read words-literacy is the ability to understand, evaluate, use, and engage with written texts in ways enabling a person to participate in society, achieve that person's goals, and develop his or her knowledge and potential. It includes the skills needed to fill out forms and read instructions, not just to read or write and understand a sentence. The services of Literary Connections are free; the organization is supported by donations from individuals, foundations, and government agencies. Listen to the program to learn about Ms. Lane's own remarkable story as well as about the many services available to improve reading and writing.
