Love a good natter! This one with Anna Price CMgr CCMI is all about my story of the workplace and the concept of psychological safety.

As we are headed into fall, many organizations are looking at their human capital strategy and determining talent plans. What are your best suggestions on where to source diverse talent? We know HBCU's, and other diverse higher ed institutions and affinity based organizations like @ASCEND, @CAPAW are a good start...But what other ideas do you have to share? Theres greater power in collective thinking and advocacy! Thanks in advance

The power of the multiplication effect that exists when like minded individuals come together for a purpose bigger than themselves, is still awe inspiring to me. When I birthed Community Sustainability Enterprise over 8 years ago, my vision was to change the economic trajectory of low income/high potential families, one layer at a time. We are doing just that through the business relationships I’ve been blessed to forge over my 14 years in Georgia. Our clients are overcoming economic barriers, through education, 1 to 1 coaching, financial literacy, livable wage employment, therapy, physical wellness, and so much more. I want to brag on a real ride and multiply CSE partner, Attorney Erik Provitt, JD, CFE. Erik is quiet and effective. When he goes in that phone booth and puts his Superman cape on, some bad person is about to get schooled💪🏾👏🏾 Eric took on one of CSE’s single mothers through our United Way grant who was wronged by her landlord after an eviction. Her landlord stole the washer & dryer she was paying for and blocked her from calling him. He also became non responsive with Attorney Provitt. Erik put that cape on, and we put on our advocacy hats, and I wrote to Aaron’s to share Ms. Johnson’s story. Today, I am proud to report our friends at Aaron’s not only forgave Ms. Johnson’s debt, but they are blessing this single mom of 3, who also happens to be a domestic violence survivor, with a brand new washer and dryer🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾 Aaron’s is true to their corporate social responsibility mission: Aaron's is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and to making a positive impact on the communities we serve. At CSE, we support our families through our 5 pillar partnerships: Social Emotional Wellness, Physical Wellness, Educational Attainment, Workforce/Career Development and Financial Literacy/Capability. We also add the 1 to 1 coaching component to our comprehensive work. We are building resilient families, who can pay it forward. Community & Business Growth Strategies Begin Here at CSE. Thank you to United Way for your generous support of this critical work in families and the communities we serve! Thank you Coach Stephanee Pinkney Female Leadership Coach for your unconditional love and support of CSE’s Queens Court single moms and their children. #wearetheirvillage #housingsecurity #advocacymatters #nomorebadlandlords #selfsufficiency #domesticviolencesurvivor #corporatesocialresponsibility Erik Provitt, JD, CFE Scott Johnson The Aaron's Company, Inc.

Over the past decade, the region has experienced a reversal from having more people than jobs, into a region that has two positions open for each job-seeker. As we work with our partners to enhance workforce pipelines and increase access to high-wage, high-demand careers for Middle Tennesseans, policy changes at the state and local level make it easier to address these challenges.

The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce and Martha O’Bryan Center co-lead the coalition in Tennessee. https://lnkd.in/eUmEjScF
