You’ve heard of customers voting with their dollars, but Jeff Winton of Alkermes points out that employees can “vote with their feet” as well and will move to companies that align with their values #PlankPRSummit

“There are some people whose hearts and minds you’re not going to change. Implicit bias [training] is very personal and getting at the heart of people takes time.” -Lakesha N. #PlankPRSummit

.@michaelilynch makes the point that #inclusion is ensuring everyone feels comfortable speaking up. And the way you make someone feel comfortable speaking their mind is by recognizing the value in their ideas, even if you can’t always immediately implement them #PlankPRSummit

Important question from young professional at #PlankPRSummit : “How can young diverse professionals stick it out in the general market firms?” Responses: “Stand your ground. Do the work. Get the support you need. And resist the blockage.” And “have a strong peer support system.

LOVE @michaelilynch’s sentiment about the importance of building peer networks and peer-to-peer mentorship, and recognizing your peers as a support system rather than competitors #PlankPRSummit

This has seriously been one of the coolest projects I've worked on. If you are/know a blind/low-vision person, ask them if they know about Aira... and then tell them Meijer offers it for free in our stores! The app lets remote agents guide you by seeing thru your phone's camera.

You know that feeling when your degree just keeps becoming more and more valuable every year because @UACCIS just keeps finding ways to top itself?... I can only describe it as the opposite of what student loan interest feels like. #RollTide

You know what’s actually super easy? #ShopLocal. I just got all of my husband’s gifts ordered over the phone and the record store owner even offered to drop off my order for free because I live so close. Don’t let the lack of a website keep you from shopping small this holiday!
