Discover how Todd was able to leverage his purpose in his corporate role(s).2. Hear his thoughts on why job descriptions take that back seat to individuals who have "energy & juice"  and care about the business.3.

I'd like to introduce you to Jayquan Noel Jenkins. Once you hear his story, you will discover that you may in fact know him.The following are considerations we can take, today, to better value the contributions of Black Americans in our companies: (These recommendations are also extended to our friends in countries outside the United States.)1. Diversify our leadership team and key contributor positions.2. Target our hiring practices to recruit talent from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and black veterans & retirees.3. Invest in black entrepreneurs and start-ups via our Merger & Acquisition strategy.4. Hire black consultants, speakers and partners.5. Listen to our black employees.6. Be honest about our organizationals blind spots and commit to improve them.7. Care.Connect with John on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrjohnhenryscott/  Thank you for listening.

Sabbaticking: Practicing Sabbath Moments - Maria Fernanda Ortega
In this episode I sit down with one of my favorite people in the world to have a conversation about the value of a sabbath mindset and how, when practiced, causes us to show up better at work and in life. I refer to her as my sister-friend as we have had the joy of traveling all over the world merging our passion with our profession. Fernanda is an unusual, proven, Human Resources Executive with more than 20-years working in fast-paced companies and industries from big financial, to small startups, to technology and entertainment. Having worked and lived in several countries, with many cultures, this a perfect environment for the non-conformist, dot-connecting, out-the-box thinking, enthusiastic dot-connector I call friend. Key Anchors:1. Discover the concept of Sabbaticking.2. Question if the ‘hustle’ and ‘grind’ culture present in most industries translates into optimal performance and sustainable execution.3. Hear how she came to adopt the practice of sabbath moments and how it has optimized her work quality.4. Discover the value of working ‘from a place of rest’ instead of ‘working to rest.’ 5. Hear the unique story of how we met in Lisbon, Portugal; only to discover we lived in the same city. Connect with Fernanda on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariafernandaortega/ Connect with Fernanda on Instagram: @sabbaticking  Connect with John on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrjohnhenryscott/ Thank you for listening.
