With powerful insights that stem from her personal resilience path, she highlights the importance of storytelling, cultural identity, and finding joy amidst adversity. Childhood Memories:Growing up with young parents, Marisol matured alongside them, becoming highly responsible from an early age. Though her parents created moments of joy, she often felt more like a little adult. Observing intergenerational trauma, interpersonal violence, and alcoholism in her family shaped her understanding of relationships and coping mechanisms. At 11, Marisol survived sexual assault, a defining event in her adolescence. During this time, she read I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou, realizing that resilience was possible. This book gave her hope and reinforced her belief in the power of stories to heal and transform.Cultural Influences:Marisol's cultural identity shapes her values, relationships, and approach to life. She learned that family extends beyond biological ties, fostering deep loyalty to those who support her.Her strong work ethic comes from witnessing her parents' dedication, a trait she links to the immigrant experience. Though she now prioritizes balance, her drive remains rooted in these lessons.She also embraces the joy in her culture, recognizing how her family celebrated life even in hardship. This understanding deepened when she visited Colombia at 16, where she experienced resilience and joy first-hand.Influential Groups:Marisol grew up Catholic but transitioned to evangelicalism in her teens, seeking belonging and certainty after trauma. This shift led her to seminary in Denver, a transformative experience that ultimately guided her toward a different spiritual path focused on personal growth.During seminary, she joined the Circle of Latina Leadership, which shaped her leadership skills and personal development. Though her spirituality has evolved, her search for belonging continues to influence her journey and work today.Personality and Temperament:As a child, Marisol was introspective and often engaged in solitary activities. Being an only child for seven years, she navigated a complex environment on her own, shaping her personality.As the eldest daughter in a Latinx family, she naturally took on a parent-like role, becoming highly responsible. This led her to a profession where others seek her guidance. She values her reflective and soulful nature, traits she believes are innate.What Brings Out the Best in Marisol?For Marisol, being authentic in her work as a therapist is both important and challenging. She strives to be fully herself despite power dynamics and the complexities of client expectations.Support the show

Anne Chow: Lead Bigger Anne Chow was the CEO of AT&T Business and the first woman of color CEO in AT&T's 140+ year history, responsible for leading a $35B global operating unit of over 35,000 people. She was named to Fortune's Most Powerful Women in Business twice and today serves on a number of boards, including FranklinCovey, 3M, and CSX. She is the author of Lead Bigger: The Transformative Power of Inclusion. We all know the importance of values, but it's often hard to know where to begin when clarifying them with a team. In this conversation, Anne and I explore how to align on values that support a great culture and move towards a vision. Key Points Values and ideologies are distinct. Leading bigger means honoring diverse ideologies while aligning on core values. Bigger leaders have the courage to admit and cite situations where they fall short. When asking people to craft values, invite them to start by individually considering their personal values. When discussing values as a group, highlight both the common agreements and also the outlying ideas. Leaders must ultimately decide which values best embody the culture and vision of their organization. Bring in different stakeholders to do a gut check on whether the values are legitimate. Measure behaviors against values and review and update values and metrics regularly.

Dalila Wilson-Scott serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer of Comcast Corporation, and President of the Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation. Dalila oversees all Diversity, Equity & Inclusion initiatives and philanthropic strategy with a focus on advancing digital equity and economic mobility through Project UP, which is supported by a $1 billion commitment. In 2023, Dalila was honored as WICT Woman of the Year in recognition of her work developing women leaders who transform the media, entertainment and technology industry. She has been named one of the “Most Powerful Women in Cable” by Cablefax Magazine; one of the “Most Powerful Women in Business” by Black Enterprise; and an “Innovative Rising Star: Building Communities” by Forbes magazine among other honors. In this episode, we discuss: ●     The importance of data and transparency in DEI ●     3 key lessons for running a Foundation ●     Looking at diversity through a holistic business lens to include employees, suppliers, customers, and product creation Key Takeaways: ●     Diversity: It's Not Just Business, It's Human: I'm done debating the business case for diversity—it's crystal clear, yet it hasn't solved the leadership imbalance. Let's focus on the human case. Look around the C-suites of S&P 100 companies: 70% of executives are white men, while they make up only 30% of the US population. Despite progress in diversifying executive teams over the past decade, these numbers don't lie. Our system is still broken. It's past time to fix a system that continues to perpetuate unfairness and bias, not just because diversity is proven to be good for business, but because it's the right thing to do. Let's not hide the need for fairness, justice, and ethics behind a business case. ●     Building Solutions Through Continuous Listening: Listening to the people you aim to serve is crucial, and it's not a one-time act—it's an ongoing practice. This dialogue informs how programs need to evolve to meet changing needs. When you continuously listen and adapt, you build solutions that resonate and have lasting impact. It's about creating a dynamic partnership with those you serve. ●     The Importance of Community: The power of community cannot be overstated. We know the phrase “it takes a village”. This principle extends across all areas of life. Small businesses supported by their communities are more likely to succeed. Families with community support are more likely to thrive. Individuals who feel part of a work community are more likely to flourish. Humans are social creatures; we struggle in isolation but thrive when we come together. Building and nurturing community bonds is key to collective success and well-being.

This transformation involved assembling a high-quality team and pushing against opposition to lead the brand into the e-commerce space.2.    Transition to Retail Career: Jeanne's journey into retail wasn't initially planned. She had intended to enter the consumer packaged goods industry but was convinced by someone in the retail sector, Frank Arnone, to explore a career in retail. This encounter shifted her trajectory, leading her to successful roles at various retail companies.3.    Learning and Leadership Development: Jeanne attributes her leadership skills to lifelong learning and accumulating experiences.

This consumer-centric approach became foundational in her subsequent roles at companies like Victoria's Secret, Banana Republic, and Nike.7.    E-commerce Motivation: Jeanne Jackson explains the motivation behind embracing e-commerce during her time at Nike. She observed the high consumer demand in San Francisco, attributed to the availability of broadband. Recognizing that consumers would want to buy products online, the decision was made to meet consumers where they were and be ready for a broader audience as broadband adoption increased nationwide.8.    Technology as a Base Level: According to Jackson, technology is a crucial aspect of any business strategy, especially in the realm of e-commerce. She emphasizes that technology is a baseline requirement for running a successful e-commerce business, covering aspects like quick checkout, easy navigation, and efficient inventory management.9.    AI in Retail: Jeanne Jackson acknowledges the significance of artificial intelligence (AI) in retail. She anticipates that AI will bring another level of capability to the retail industry, and those who neglect its integration may miss out on valuable opportunities. The discussion also touches on the potential impact of AI on job roles, with Jackson suggesting that while some roles may be replaced, there could be opportunities for higher efficiency and smarter use of human resources.10. Evolution of Retail: The conversation delves into the evolving landscape of retail, with a focus on digitally native brands. Jackson expresses excitement about these brands that have captured consumer attention, especially those that emerged or gained momentum during the pandemic. The discussion highlights the changing strategies of brands, including considerations of omni-channel approaches and the exploration of various channels to reach customers, even mentioning the challenges and uncertainties associated with selling on platforms like Amazon.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week I'm replaying a conversation with a guest I was so honored to have on the show. Arianna Huffington is an author, mother, and businesswoman, most notably known as the co-founder and former editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post. She is also the founder and CEO of Thrive Global.   Most recently, Arianna has written Thrive and The Sleep Revolution. But what you may not know about Arianna is that she has a Master's Degree in Economics from Cambridge and was a candidate for California governor. She's been named one of the Most Influential Women in Media and one of the Most Powerful Women in Business.    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… those hesitant about the future.    TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… we're at a very interesting time in history – one that is currently being shaped in new ways every day. The next 20 years won't look anything like today. But of course, 20 years ago doesn't look anything like today either.    We cannot predict what the future holds, but as Arianna says, we're at an inflection point. Careers are no longer linear. Passion and purpose have stronger meanings than ever before, and change is happening faster than humans can keep up.    Arianna is concerned about our addiction to devices because data shows it makes us less empathetic. More and more people are ditching devices for real connection, which means putting phones away for dinners and seeing friends in person instead of over a video call. Arianna calls this “thrive mode.”    WHAT  I  LOVE  MOST… as I've gotten older, I've realized that giving back and reflecting on my life is more important than I ever thought. In a tech-consumed world, Arianna warns that we need balance. The interconnectedness we appear to have doesn't hold weight compared to investing in relationships. Giving back and providing value is what gives us a full life.     Running Time: 28:01   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani on Social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn   Find Arianna Online: Twitter  LinkedIn  Thrive Global

Joining us for the first of several episodes recorded at the Wizeline remote podcast studio/beach cabana at Mandalay Bay during Shoptalk is Judith McKenna, who heads up Walmart International.We touch on Judith's journey across the pond to lead Walmart's $100 billion plus division, which operates across 19 countries, before jumping into the challenges and opportunities of executing the Walmart brand promise and purpose while staying attuned to diverse market needs ("strong local businesses powered by Walmart"). Judith shares her perspectives on the importance of strategic alignment, sustaining a culture of innovation, and the emerging role of personalization in driving growth. We close with Judith's take on how to navigate the volatile future of retail and some of her key leadership tips.We start as usual with a review of the week in retail news, including how a revision in the jobless claims numbers suggests a cooling job market, RH's recent (mostly) disappointing earnings release, and Costco's first negative monthly comparable sales report in three years. Then we dissect encouraging news from Walmart before a quick return to the Wobbly Unicorn Corner with word of a bankruptcy filing from Boxed and Chewy's decision to close two fulfillment centers. We wrap up with Bed, Bath & Beyond's continuing financing gymnastics, which don't seem to bode well for their future. We also give a quick shout-out to friend of the pod, Seth Godin, who releases his latest book, The Song of Significance: A New Manifesto for Teams, next month.

Since 1970, women have added 2 TRILLION dollars to the United States economy through their increased labor force participation, and we have lost 67% of that progress since the beginning of the pandemic.

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova.  This week I am bringing back another classic episode of the What's Next! Podcast with the incomparable Arianna Huffington.  Arianna is an author, mother, and businesswoman, most notably known as the co-founder and former Editor-in-Chief of The Huffington Post. Arianna has been named one of the Most Influential Women in Media and one of the Most Powerful Women in Business and is the author of multiple books like Thrive and The Sleep Revolution.     THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… those hesitant about the future.    TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… We're at a very interesting time in history – one that is currently being shaped in new ways every day. The next 20 years won't look anything like today. But of course, 20 years ago doesn't look anything like today either.  We cannot predict what the future holds, but as Arianna says, we're at an inflection point.  Careers are no longer linear. Passion and purpose have stronger meanings than ever before, and change is happening faster than humans can keep up.  Arianna is concerned about our addiction to devices because data shows it makes us less empathetic. More and more people are ditching devices for real connection, which means putting phones away for dinners and seeing friends in person instead of over a video call.  Arianna calls this “thrive mode.”    WHAT I LOVE MOST… As I've gotten older, I've realized that giving back and reflecting on my life is more important than I ever thought. In a tech-consumed world, Arianna warns that we need balance. The interconnectedness we appear to have doesn't hold weight compared to investing in relationships.  Giving back and providing value is what gives us a full life.     Running time: 27:43    Subscribe on iTunes    Find Tiffani on social:  Facebook  Twitter  LinkedIn    Find Arianna on social:  Twitter  LinkedIn  Thrive Global

Today I'm pleased to introduce you to Cori Streetman, Barefoot PR's Co-founder and Chief Executive in charge of making the dream work. Cori was recently named to Top 25 Most Powerful Women in Business by the Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce. She also joined us this week at the Extraordinary Women Connect Gala as a Circle of Inspiration Panelist and Facilitator, alongside 4 other women who made this prestigious list this year, including Arezou Zarafshan, Dr. Shannon Block, Makisha Boothe, and Colorado Representative Dafna Michaelson Jenet.  It was a blast and these women brought so much rich wisdom! In this soulful interview: Cori reminisces how she enjoyed her gap years as she left university to learn anthropology (by living and merging herself with the culture of the people instead of reading books!).

Valerie Mosley is the Founder of Valmo Ventures. Valerie created Valmo Ventures to advise and invest in companies that add value to both investors and society. She recently founded BrightUp, a FinTech company focused on democratizing wealth building and wellbeing. Mosley sits on several boards including Eaton Vance's family of mutual funds, DraftKings, Groupon and Envestnet. Previously, she was an SVP, partner, portfolio manager and investment strategist at Wellington Management Company, a $1 trillion money management firm. Mosley was named UK's Powerlist International Person of the Year 2017, and one of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and one of the Top 75 African Americans on Wall Street by Black Enterprise Magazine. Valerie Mosley has always sought to bring people together in order to share different perspectives and build understanding. As a freshman at Duke University in the 1970s, she put together talks on race relations after learning she was the first black person many of her white classmates had met. She left a successful career at Wellington Management Company to pursue a more impact-oriented career focused on wealth building and wellbeing. Mosley cites the stagnation of wages among the bottom 80% of earners and its negative effect in the face of rapidly rising costs in health care, housing and education. Teaching financial literacy to the underserved is designed to have a compounding effect on both wealth and quality of life. “I'm very interested in compounding compassion and compounding interest. If you widen your lens just a little, then you'll learn things like the median cost for a payday loan, at a time when interest rates are zero, is 391%. That's unconscionable.”  ————————————————————————— For podcast transcripts and show notes, visit *salt.org/talks* ( http://salt.org/talks ) Watch this video on YouTube: *https://youtu.be/mp9YqAso9Mk* ( https://youtu.be/mp9YqAso9Mk ) Developed, created and produced by SALT Venture Group, LLC.

“The crisis happened at a time of exponential change in technology that was already transforming the way we work, how we engage with clients, how we make decisions. … And then you instantly had behavioral change at a scale that we've never seen in the past.” Julie Sweet believes large companies should be flexible and light on their feet. Case in point: her own Accenture. When she became CEO of the multinational professional services company in 2019, she instituted sweeping changes to its operating model and invested billions in a new cloud system, which left their half million employees in 120 countries in a much better position to withstand the pandemic. It is this kind of foresight that led the New York Times to call her “one of the most powerful women in corporate America” and Fortune to rank her number one on its “Most Powerful Women in Business” list. “I am talking to many companies now who say we want to move as fast as we did, “she tells Mike. “And my simple question is, ‘What have you changed?' Because large organizations in particular can't operate in crisis mode forever. What do they need to change to compete and to be successful in what I call the new reality?”
