I think a lot about how big companies can change. How they can find a way to leverage the things that are great about being big, having history/knowledge and combine with the advantages of being small. There are basically no examples of companies doing this well except HSBC / First Direct, Telefonica & Giff Gaff, & Microsoft and Xbox. We should learn more about how these were done. Any other good examples? …see more

I'm especially proud of my latest National Geographic online story, because it's about the need for #womensleadership during the #COVID19 crisis. It also features one of The Aspen Institute 's 2020 Healthy Communities Fellows, Emma Robbins ! Her work with DIGDEEP Water 's Navajo Water Project makes her a leader in the fight to not only prevent the spread of COVID-19, but to provide clean water access to some of the millions of Americans who don't have access. I'm grateful to the Executive Director of UNAIDS , Winnie Byanyima , for taking time to speak to me for this story. And a special shout out to Roopa Dhatt , Executive Director of Women in Global Health , for organizing the "Masked Heroines" webinar about this important topic that helped inspire my story. #globalhealth #pandemicresponse #frontlineworkers #frontlineheroes #womenleaders https://lnkd.in/dXu6PwD …see more

Can women save the planet?” After last night’s #WomenInTheWorld launch, I believe we’re our only hope! I want to post some of the highlights here because the next few days will be filled with more amazing information, and I want to share as much as possible. An important moment for me was being bolstered and given “renewable energy” from @Christiana Figueres, a founding partner of the @Global Optimism organization. She wants us to believe that we DO have the power to stop the devastation of #climatechange . Figueres On climate change deniers: “Climate change is not a religion. It’s not a myth. It’s not a ritualistic practice. It’s science. If you refuse to believe in science, then please refuse to believe in gravity and refuse to believe that the Earth is round.” On supporting youth activism about climate change: “If that outrage falls into cynicism and despair, we are literally fried. That outrage has to be folded and forged into a really stubborn optimism, which is living and working in the conviction that together we have everything it takes to do the right thing.” …see more
