I. Love. Hiring. So much so that became an Amazon Bar Raiser. Read four practices I've learned as a BR that anyone can use to improve their process and make better hiring decisions. #leadership #hiring #barraiser open.substack.com/pub/raecle…

Why is it so hard for many smart, talented leaders to take compliments? I wrote about this yesterday, and today was reminded by a good friend & colleague that I need to practice what I preach. Doh! Read my full post on taking compliments here: open.substack.com/pub/raecle…

Really appreciate this perspective. Saying “happy Juneteenth” didn’t feel right to me but I wasn’t sure of what other word to use to acknowledge it. What’s most important is to understand why the holiday exists & how much we still need to fight for equal rights in this country.

Juneteenth is to be commemorated more than celebrated. I know media has coined “Happy Juneteenth”, but would we say “Happy End of the Holocaust” to Jewish people? Bc slavery was just that, a genocide torture camp that legally lasted for 246yrs, for context the holocaust was 4yrs

In our research we found that women were told they were too young to lead, too old to lead...and middle age wasn't quite right either. As it turns out no age is the right age to be a woman leader. See my latest @HarvardBiz article for solutions. hbr.org/2023/06/women-in-lea…

1000% yes to all of this. Someone asked me once why I do DEI work. My response? I believe I have an obligation to use my privilege and the power of my position to make it easier for those coming up behind me than it was for me. #DiversityMatters
