Collaboration Through Conflict

As the CEO of the nonpartisan Center for Public Justice (CPJ), Stephanie Summers has the challenge of bringing together individuals and groups with opposing worldviews to work toward shared goals for the betterment of society.

Business Leaders, Do You Mind The Gap?

I’ll never forget Karen, the woman whose cubicle was across from mine during my last full-time year in the workforce, before I left to stay home with my first child.

Why Every Faith-Driven Investment Firm Needs to Hire a Theologian

An Equal Career Start, But Still Less Opportunity for Women?

There’s been a demographic shift when it comes to college attendance and those earning degrees in higher education.  There are now more women enrolled in higher education than men, and higher percentages of women entering the workforce with college degrees — for associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programs.

Resetting Your Career in Midlife

“Midway upon the journey of our life,” writes Dante in the first lines of his Inferno, “I had found myself in the dark wilderness, for I had wandered from the straight and true.”I wonder if Dante was making a comment on the crafty nature of sin, creeping up from behind like a silent fog when […]

Effective networking is not just a bonus soft skill for business professionals, but rather a critical one that can make or break a career. Social capital acquired through networking can be leveraged in various ways and for various reasons—to gain social support, achieve goals, complete tasks, or advance one’s career—and is equally important for both […]
