Belonging & Leadership

On this previously live-streamed event, Audrey Cavenecia & Mike Robbins discussed the Pressure We Put On Performance in American society in light of the recent suicide at Stanford University. Students struggling in silence with mental health-related battles has been a challenge for many colleges and universities across the United States. Implementing protocols that deliver higher visibility for helpful resources has improved, but there is still more that needs to be done. This problem also exists in the workforce. However, in many instances, it is not properly addressed. As a society, we need to do better. Whether you’re a CEO, Founder, HR, Manager, or in another leadership position, we seriously need to talk about this.

Welcome to the Belonging and Leadership podcast with Audrey. Today Audrey will be discussing the importance of cultural representation within your home with Sunyoung "Sunny" Hong. Originally trained in architecture, Sunny is a design-driven problem solver who is addressing the lack of representation of mixed-race people in America through an offering of home and lifestyle products that highlight people’s multicultural heritage. As a founder of Portmanteau Home, she combines her design experiences across industries ranging from graphic design, hospitality design to resort planning, to advocate for creating homes that are more than just beautiful; a home should be a space that reflects one’s history and heritage. Sunny hopes to bring the idea of modern multicultural home decor into the mainstream and provide visual affirmations to the complex cultural identities of mixed-race individuals. Sunny studied psychology at Yale University and holds a Master of Architecture from GSD, Harvard University.

What are best practices for helping to navigate your team’s reaction to a possible social media incident? Whether you’re a CEO, Founder, HR, Manager, or in another leadership position, we seriously need to talk about this.

On this previously live-streamed event, Audrey Cavenecia, Bonnie Marcus, & Shari Leid discussed Ageism in The Workforce. Owners and managers must lead by example when it comes to team diversity, in any form. Problems arise when discriminatory statements made by managers, leaders, and company owners, are not addressed directly. But, how do you report or reprimand your boss? How do you create unity on a team with significant age diversity? Whether you’re a CEO, Founder, HR, Manager, or in another leadership position, we seriously need to talk about this.

Welcome to Unlikely Leadership with Audrey. Today I will be speaking with you about accountability, responsibility, and blame. As leaders, holding yourself accountable goes hand in hand when managing a team. When a person holds themselves accountable for the completion of a set of responsibilities, blame is usually eliminated from the goal execution plan. However, when there is no clear communication on the team’s responsibilities, there can be a breakdown with proper accountability assignments. Tune in today to learn more about steering your team clear of the blame game.
