https://www.sherylkline.com/blog/leading-in-times-of-uncertainty-with-stephanie-royalIn this podcast episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Stephanie Royal, Chief People and Culture Officer at the Robin Hood Foundation. Stephanie's journey and experiences provide a powerful reminder that leading with authenticity, resilience, and purpose is essential, especially in today's ever-changing landscape. Together, we unpacked the importance of embracing our unique leadership journeys, navigating cultural and societal expectations, and finding strength in community and self-care.Here are five key takeaways from our conversation:Embrace Your Unique Journey (1:17)Stephanie's journey to becoming a leader wasn't linear. Inspired by strong female role models, she learned early on the importance of carving her own path. Despite societal and familial expectations, Stephanie emphasized that we must give ourselves permission to pursue the career and life paths that align with our values. "You do you," as we like to say, because it's your life to live and your legacy to build.Find Strength in Authenticity (9:14)Stephanie reminds us that being our authentic selves is crucial for effective leadership. She shared her own experience as a woman—and often the only woman of color—in executive spaces. Staying true to her identity allowed her to cultivate meaningful relationships and lead with confidence. Authenticity, she believes, is key to feeling settled, comfortable, and ultimately impactful in our leadership roles.Trust is Essential in Times of Uncertainty (16:45)During uncertain times, having the trust of your team is paramount. Stephanie emphasizes that being a trusted leader makes it easier to guide teams through crises. By building relationships grounded in trust and transparency, leaders can inspire confidence and collaboration. In times of change, clear communication and a well-articulated plan can be a stabilizing force for the team.Prioritize Self-Care and Reflection (24:12)One practical tool Stephanie introduced is embedding weekly reflection time into your schedule. This allows leaders to pause, review, and celebrate progress with their teams, helping everyone stay grounded and motivated. Whether it's a dedicated hour or even just 10 minutes, reflection gives you the chance to recalibrate and focus on what's working.Build Your Support System (28:33)Stephanie's final takeaway is about the importance of finding and nurturing a support system. Building connections, having trusted peers or mentors, and taking time for self-care are vital for long-term success and well-being. As she reminds us, “find your people” and invest in relationships that keep you grounded and resilient.This episode was a powerful reminder that being intentional, authentic, and supported as leaders is essential for navigating today's challenges. If you're ready to strengthen your leadership journey, I'd love to connect. Book a discovery call with me to explore how high-level coaching can support your biggest goals and support your team.Cheering you on always.Sheryl

The saying “it takes a village to raise a child” doesn't explicitly factor in how much that village will cost. The price of just “being Black” is expensive. And for many creatives, innovators, and entrepreneurs, the cost of growth and expansion is unaffordable. Although one of the brief responses to the murder of George Floyd was a slight uptick in public and private commitments, data reveals that funding to Black entrepreneurs still severely lagged in comparison to what white spaces received. Institutions gained a lot of clout and exposure being connected to the brand of Black activism and movement, but not that most have departed from their public promises, Black entrepreneurs seeking to build impactful ventures are lumped back into the traditional models of funding and support—which includes tokenizing and the VC quest for the next “unicorn” in tech and business. Former NYC Deputy Mayor and current CEO of Robin Hood Foundation, Richard Buery, Jr., challenges the From Chains to Links community to question whether these standards yield sustainable results, and how bridging imagination with capital interventions helps us build the villages we deserve

Some 38 million people live in poverty in this country – nearly 12 percent of the population. The problem remains especially bad in New York City, where the poverty level among kids alone has jumped 66% since 2021. The Robin Hood Foundation has provided millions of dollars of grants to fight poverty in New York for more than 3 decades. Now, its CEO says the foundation famous for using investment principles to tackle poverty is enlisting AI in the fight.

The following is a conversation between Richard Buery, the Chief Executive Officer of the Robin Hood Foundation, and Denver Frederick, the Host of The Business of Giving.

November 30, 2023 Hoover Institution | Stanford University Governors Wes Moore (D-Maryland) and Christopher Sununu (R-New Hampshire) in conversation with Hoover Institution Director Condoleezza Rice offering perspectives on the state of American institutions on Thursday, November 30, 2023 at 4:30 PM PT.  Governors Wes Moore (D-Maryland) and Christopher Sununu (R-New Hampshire) in conversation with Hoover Institution Director Condoleezza Rice offering perspectives on the state of American institutions.  In a bipartisanship spirit, the governors and Director Rice shared insights on how trust in and the efficacy of governmental institutions can be improved as well as the challenges of doing so in a polarized environment. Panelists shared their perspectives as chief executives and weighed in on reforms to improve democracy at all levels of government.   ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Governor Wes Moore is the 63rd Governor of the state of Maryland and is the state's first Black Governor. Moore earned an Associate's degree from Valley Forge Military Academy and College and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army. He earned his Bachelor's in international relations and economics at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa and was the university's first Black Rhodes Scholar. Moore served as a captain in the 82nd Airborne Division in Afghanistan and was the CEO of the Robin Hood Foundation. He also worked in finance with Deutsche Bank in London and with Citigroup in New York. He and his wife Dawn Flythe Moore have two children. Governor Christopher Sununu is the 82nd Governor of the State of New Hampshire and is currently serving his fourth term, receiving in 2020 more votes ever than any candidate in state history. With Governor Sununu's leadership, New Hampshire is ranked the #1 state in the country for personal freedoms by Cato Institute. Chris grew up in Salem, NH.

Richard Buery, CEO of Robin Hood Foundation and a former NYC deputy mayor for strategic policy initiatives, and Rachel Fee, executive director of the New York Housing Conference, talk about Robin Hood's "deep dive" into the causes of and solutions to housing instability and homelessness.

These days, when Congress is so often paralyzed by in-fighting between the extreme and the more extreme wings of the Republican Party, it's often up to states to fend for themselves. That puts a lot of responsibility in the hands of our governors - responsibility that some use for good, and others use for ill.   On today's episode, Hillary talks with two newly-minted governors who are doing everything they can to improve the lives and future prospects of the people whom they serve.   Before taking office as the first woman and first LGBTQ+ governor of Massachusetts, Maura Healey had already proved her mettle—first as a college and pro-basketball player, later as the Chief of the Civil Rights Division of the Attorney General's Office, and then as the first openly gay Attorney General in the country. She shares her priorities with Hillary, from making life in Massachusetts more affordable, to tackling climate change, easing the migrant crisis, and encouraging young people to see themselves as future leaders.   The first public office Maryland Governor Wes Moore ever ran for is the one he now holds. But his experiences as the child of a single immigrant mother, a U.S. Army Captain, and CEO of the Robin Hood Foundation gave him his “why”—to lift families out of poverty, promote economic growth, and lead young people to public service. He won in a landslide, making him the first Black governor of Maryland, and only the third elected Black governor anywhere in the country. He and Hillary talk about how he's settling into the job, what he's been able to accomplish, and why you've got to celebrate the wins even when they come with compromises.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode: In a scarce talent market, companies often sacrifice culture for skill, hiring only top executives in specialized disciplines to avoid expending valuable resources on training programs. But this harms organizations long-term. What processes can you apply to ensure an effective recruitment strategy? Hiring and recruitment specialist Cindy Norcott's foremost rule is to hire for culture and train for skill. Documenting and systematizing your core values sets fundamental expectations for potential candidates and new hires, allowing you to evaluate and onboard them accordingly. While acquiring industry experts for each position is unnecessary, prospective employees should possess foundational skills. This enables you to implement systems to develop a comprehensive induction and training program that simplifies the process. The CEO of Pro Talent, Cindy Norcott, is Adi Klevit's guest in this episode of Systems Simplified, where they share systems for effective hiring and recruiting. Cindy describes her processes for internal business organization, the universal traits of high-performing entrepreneurs, and key criteria for hiring.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a political newcomer and rising star in the Democratic Party, sits down with Margaret Hoover in Annapolis to discuss his first legislative session and the progress made toward his priorities. Moore grew up on the brink of poverty after witnessing his father's death at age three, struggled in school until he was sent to a military academy, and went on to become a Rhodes scholar, a White House fellow, and a best-selling author. Before being elected as Maryland's first Black governor, he headed the anti-poverty Robin Hood Foundation. He tells Hoover why he believes the state can end child poverty and explains how his budget aims to address Maryland's rising homicide rate. He also defends his push to cut a school choice program, despite acknowledging concerns about the performance of some public schools. Moore contrasts his approach to governing with a supermajority in the legislature to some Republican governors, and he addresses the speculation already brewing about his prospects for higher office just three months into his first political job.

Tom's Midday Newsmaker guest today is Maryland Governor Wes Moore. A Democrat who bested a crowded primary field in his first run at public office, Moore won the general election handily in November 2022 to become the 63rd governor of the state of Maryland. He campaigned on a pledge to fight poverty across the state and build a more secure and equitable economy for all Marylanders. Moore is Maryland's first Black governor in the state's 246-year history, and is just the third African American elected governor in the history of the United States. A combat-tested Army veteran, he is also a former educational entrepreneur, the former CEO of an end-poverty philanthropy called the Robin Hood Foundation, and a broadcaster who was the original host of the Future City series on this station. He is the author of several books, including "The Other Wes Moore," an exploration of the power of opportunity, and "Five Days" (co-authored with journalist Erica L. Green), which examines events in Baltimore following the police-involved death of Freddie Gray. Moore was inaugurated in mid-January, and he has been in constant motion ever since. Governor Wes Moore joins us on Zoom from Annapolis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's episode of All in a Day's Work, Emily Anderson chats with Robert Lee, founder of Rescuing Leftover Cuisine. Together, they discuss why he began his fight against food waste and hunger, how he juggled starting a new company with a full-time job at JP Morgan, and what steps he took to leverage his business degree into a career that was meaningful to him. With a Bachelor's degree in Finance & Accounting from New York University, Robert left a career in finance at various Wall Street firms to fight food waste and hunger. In 2013, Robert created a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting food waste and hunger called Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, Inc (henceforth "RLC"). In 2015, RLC was incubated by the Robin Hood Foundation's Blue Ridge Labs program which grew the proprietary technology and business model. Since then, RLC has expanded nationally to 9 cities across the nation, rescuing over 9 million pounds of excess food that would have otherwise gone to waste, feeding 8 million meals for the hungry, and preventing nearly 1,700 tons in carbon emissions.

Across his four-decade-long career in graphic design, Michael Bierut has amassed an impressively robust tally of bold-faced clients. From The New York Times, Saks Fifth Avenue, and the Robin Hood Foundation to Mastercard, the New York Jets, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Bierut and his team at the multidisciplinary design firm Pentagram—which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year with a two-volume book from the publisher Unit Editions, and where he has been a partner since 1990—have crafted some of the most unforgettable, standout identities and graphics around. Perhaps most notable in recent years, Bierut devised the unequivocal “H” logo used throughout Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Consistently fueled by the sheer delight he finds in design, Bierut is also a co-founder of the website Design Observer, launched in 2003 and among the first online platforms dedicated entirely to design. With everything he creates, Bierut whittles each of his concepts down to its most essential core, ultimately arriving at something that feels both rigorously thought through and inevitable in its simplicity.On this episode of Time Sensitive, Bierut talks with Andrew about the integral practice of keeping notebooks throughout his life; the deep groundedness of his nearly lifelong relationship with his wife and high-school sweetheart, Dorothy Kresz; and why the “why” of design is far more important to him than the “how.”Special thanks to our Season 6 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Michael Bierut01:13:57 Pentagram00:23:28 Design Observer01:23:40 Mastercard logo01:30:44 The Library Initiative01:39:26 How To01:39:59 Pentagram: Living by Design

Maryland voters head to the polls next week. Mail-in voting has already begun. Early voting starts Thursday. Election day is two weeks from Tuesday. Today, it's a special installment in our series of Conversations with the Candidates 2022.  Two of the three leading candidates in the Democratic primary for Governor join Tom for the hour to discuss the issues on the minds of Marylanders. In early June, a poll published by the Baltimore Sun identified Comptroller Peter Franchot, non-profit executive Wes Moore and former Labor Secretary Tom Perez leading a 10-person field in the Democratic primary. Those three candidates polled in the low double-digits. A large number of respondents said they had not made up their minds. In a poll released on Tuesday of this week, commissioned by WYPR, the Baltimore Banner and Goucher College showed the race between Mr. Franchot, Mr. Moore and Mr. Perez to be even closer than it was in early June. Those three candidates are now in a statistical tie. The other candidate who is closest to them is former Attorney General Doug Gansler, who is about ten points behind. We invited the top three candidates to appear on Tuesday of this week. Peter Franchot's spokesperson declined our invitation citing a schedule conflict. We tried a different date, today, and once again citing a schedule conflict, the Franchot campaign declined our invitation. And so, we are pleased to welcome Wes Moore and Tom Perez to today's conversation. They join us on Zoom. Wes Moore is a best-selling author who has worked in the private and non-profit sector. He was most recently the CEO of the Robin Hood Foundation, a national philanthropic organization. And, full disclosure: he once hosted Future City,a public affairs show on WYPR. He has chosen as his running mate former Delegate Aruna Miller from Montgomery County… Tom Perez is a lawyer who headed the Civil Rights Division in the US Justice Department, and served as MD labor secretary during the O'Malley administration. He was also appointed US Labor Secretary during the Obama Administration, and he was the chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). He has chosen as his running mate Shannon Sneed, a former Baltimore City Councilwoman… We begin with an opportunity for each candidate to say hello and explain why they deserve your vote.

In this episode of Capital for Good, we speak with Samantha Tweedy, the inaugural president of the Black Economic Alliance Foundation, the nation's leading organization harnessing the collective expertise and influence of Black business leaders and allies to build generational wealth and economic prosperity for the Black community. Tweedy has spent her career building and leading transformative racial and economic justice initiatives at the intersection of the public, private, and philanthropic sectors, showing how equitable and inclusive growth creates a more prosperous country, and future, for all Americans. In this conversation, Tweedy begins with personal history, explaining how her commitment to issues of equity and justice — for using the opportunities afforded her to create opportunities for others — comes via “osmosis,” as she follows in the footsteps of grandparent trailblazers in the fight for civil rights and racial and economic justice. Tweedy describes how her early career in educational equity and access, as a litigator and school leader, gave her a deeper understanding of structural and multigenerational disparities. At the Robin Hood Foundation, she saw many uncomfortable but important truths in the data: the persistent black and white wealth gap in communities Robin Hood served and the fact that, despite increases in overall philanthropy, only 10 percent went to organizations led by people of color trying to solve problems of poverty racial and economic disparity in the first place. Accordingly, Tweedy launched Robin Hood's nearly $20 million Power Fund to invest in and elevate nonprofit leaders of color focused on increasing mobility from poverty and addressing specifically, through the expertise and understanding of proximity and lived experience, the interplay of racial and economic injustice through their work. In many ways, this effort connects directly to the Foundation Tweedy is building and leading at the Black Economic Alliance — an organization committed to driving progress for the Black community, with a particular focus on improving economic outcomes in work, wages, and wealth. Only a few months into her new role, Tweedy is directing a range of policy, advocacy, and business and government engagement initiatives. She walks us through a few of these, including the new Center for Black Entrepreneurship, a partnership with Spelman and Morehouse Colleges, and the Black Economic Alliance Entrepreneurs Fund.

Legendary investor Paul Tudor Jones, CIO at Tudor Investments, discusses the Robin Hood Foundation's annual benefit to fight poverty in New York City, markets, the Federal Reserve and more. Jones says he “can't think of a worse environment than where we are right now for financial assets.” Employees at an Amazon warehouse on Staten Island overwhelmingly rejected a unionization effort, a significant victory for the e-retailer a month after a nearby fulfillment center became the first in the country to vote to join a union.

There's never been a better time for women leaders than now. That's what Mary Callahan Erdoes believes as the opportunity for remote and online work has provided the flexibility for family time and career growth. As the CEO of J.P. Morgan's Asset and Wealth Management, she has brought one of the largest and most reliable investment banks to $4 trillion in client assets. Philanthropy is also close to her heart as she serves as a board member of New York City's Robin Hood Foundation. Mary Callahan Erdoes joins Willy Walker on this week's Walker Webcast as she gives her two cents on the unpredictability of the global market, her advice on investing in cryptocurrency, how more competition keeps the economy booming, and her close working ties with CEO Jamie Dimon. She emphasizes appreciating and recognizing both one's milestones and empty tombstones – as any downturn is a chance to reevaluate methods and strategies. This optimistic outlook has set J.P. Morgan to be ready in handling any catastrophic situation. “Our job is to always prepare for the worst and hope for the best,” she adds. “If you do it the other way around, you're going to get yourself in big trouble. That's how we're wired.” Diversity and inclusion have always been a priority for Mary Callahan Erdoes. J.P. Morgan's efforts in investing in low-income housing and more poverty-stricken areas and opening doors to recruiting a wide slate of talent prove their stance on making a bigger difference in today's work culture and society.

Yesterday, Governor Larry Hogan signed into law a revised mapwith new boundaries for Congressional districts, after a judge in Anne Arundel County threw out the original map drawn by Democrats last December. When MD Attorney General Brian Frosh changed his decision to appeal that ruling, the Governor agreed to the new maps, saying in a statement, that the maps, quote, “weren't, in my opinion, as good as the ones drawn by the citizen commission, and we shouldn't have wasted so much time—but they are a huge improvement.” The commission he referred to was a bipartisan group the Governor appointed. A number of redistricting maps created by Republicans have been thrown out in court around the country because they were found to be unconstitutional due to gerrymandering. The decision in MD is the first time a map drawn by Democrats met the same fate. The maps for state legislative districts remain in limbo. In a separate case, Republicans challenged those maps in court as well. The Court of Appeals is expected to rule in that case soon. Primary elections are scheduled for July 19th. Early voting will begin on July 7th. Today on Midday, we continue with our election-year interview series, Conversations with the Candidates: 2022.

Green, of what led up to, and what happened after the 2015 Freddie Gray uprising.  He founded an organization called BridgeEdU, which helps students navigate the college experience, and before he entered the primary race, he was the CEO of the Robin Hood Foundation, a national anti-poverty organization.

In the world's most carceral state (the US), what is often overlooked is the human cost of locking away people for their crimes, big and small. The most failed group behind bars is our country's youth. At Avenues for Justice, we expose the injustice of locking up youth and highlight the human potential that can be captured by providing a second chance to a young person that is caught up in the justice system. Angel has been doing this work for over 40 years and was one of the first to actively try to solve the problem with Avenues for Justice.Launched in 1979, Avenues for Justice (then known as the Andrew Glover Youth Program) was one of the first alternatives to incarceration (ATI) programs for youth in the US and remains one of the few to have continuous Latinx leadership. Avenues for Justice was instrumental in fighting for youth to be separated from adults in the justice system. Through our 40+years, we have maintained among the highest success rates in the country - 95% of our participants do not commit a crime during a post-graduation three-year tracking period.Avenues for Justice currently serves 300+ ATI court-involved, at-risk, and re-entry youth and young adults per year at our centers in Harlem and the Lower East Side, and at our Manhattan Criminal Courthouse offices.For over four decades, Angel Rodriguez has served as AFJ's Executive Director, working with youth in the community in which he grew up, went to school, and still lives today. Part youth worker, part organizational leader, Angel has direct and daily involvement with clients, supervising the most sensitive advocacy procedures and carrying a heavy caseload. A known and respected figure both in the courtroom and on the streets of the Lower East Side, Angel's work continues around the clock as he moves through the neighborhood. Under Angel's leadership, AFJ has been the recipient of many awards including the New York State Bar Association's Public Service Award, Manufacturers Hanover'sCommunity Development Award, and the Exxon Corporation Community Service Award. For his personal dedication to AFJ, Angel received an honorary law degree from the CUNY Law School atQueens College and in 1994, Angel was selected as one of three outstanding community activists inNew York City to receive the Robin Hood Foundation's Hero Award in 1996.Organization: Avenues for JusticeWebsite: avenuesforjustice.orgFacebook: facebook.com/avenuesforjusticeInstagram: instagram.com/avenuesforjusticeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/avenuesforjustice/ Organization: Avenues for JusticeWebsite: avenuesforjustice.orgFacebook: facebook.com/avenuesforjusticeInstagram: instagram.com/avenuesforjusticeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/avenuesforjustice/Tune in for this sensible conversation at TalkRadio.nyc or watch the Facebook Livestream by Clicking Here.

In this episode of Capital for Good, we speak with Wes Moore, bestselling author, combat veteran, social entrepreneur, chief executive officer of the Robin Hood Foundation, and one of the country's leading voices on issues of economic opportunity, and social, and racial equity.   Moore's first book, The Other Wes Moore, a perennial New York Times bestseller, captured the nation's attention on the fine line between success and failure in our communities and in ourselves. He is also the author of the The Work, Discovering Wes Moore, This Way Home and the recently released, Five Days. Moore grew up in Baltimore and the Bronx, where he was raised by a single mom. Despite childhood challenges, he graduated Phi Theta Kappa from Valley Forge Military College in 1998 and Phi Beta Kappa from Johns Hopkins University in 2001. He earned an MLitt in international relations from Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar in 2004. Moore then served as a captain and paratrooper with the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division, including a combat deployment to Afghanistan. He later served as a White House Fellow to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Before becoming CEO at Robin Hood, one of the largest anti-poverty forces in the nation, Moore was the founder and CEO at BridgeEdU, an education platform addressing the college completion and job placement crisis. Moore has also worked in finance as an investment banker with Deutsche Bank in London and with Citigroup in New York.   In this wide-ranging conversation, we begin with Robin Hood's response to the COVID-19 crisis in New York City, where it has successfully raised and deployed more than $65 million in emergency relief across hundreds of organizations. We also examine how the deep social, economic and racial disparities that existed in health, wealth, income, employment, educational outcomes, justice involvement, etc. that existed pre-COVID have informed and centered Robin Hood's work in the pandemic. Moore walks us through some of the ways in which Robin Hood has begun to address the structural biases and inequities in philanthropy that that have resulted, historically, in drastic under-funding of organizations led by people of color. We also touch on the role of philanthropy in advocating for anti-racist and anti-poverty policy, the role of business in promoting racial equity, and the power of storytelling, as exemplified by Moore's latest book, Five Days. “I choose to be one of the people who chooses hope,” Moore says. “While progress is not inevitable, it is possible, and that becomes our role and our responsibility: to really push for that progress that we think is important when it comes to creating a better future.”   Mentioned in this Episode Robin Hood Relief Fund Racial Equity and Philanthropy: Disparities in Funding for Leaders of Color Leave Impact on the Table, Cheryl Dorsey, Jeff Bradach, Peter Kim (Bridgespan, 2020) The Power Fund: Investing in Leaders of Color, Robin Hood The Black Voices for Black Justice Fund, Black Voices Blue Ridge Labs at Robin Hood Robin Hood Poverty Tracker reports here, Columbia Center on Poverty and Social Policy
