On the July 9, 2012 edition of Career Advancement Radio, the topic of the Impact of Philanthropy on career, community, and personal success was our focus. We discussed how the use of talent, skills, abilities, and giving help to save lives and change the communities where we live and work while impacting our unique value proposition as community leaders, career positioning, and talent acquisition opportunities.
The topic was based on an article in the July/August 2012 issue of Fast Company Magazine by Ellen McGirt titled, “The League of Extraordinary Women.” The article spoke to
how an unprecedented network of high achieving women from the world’s largest companies, innovative startups, philanthropic organizations, government and the arts have combined forces to change the lives of girls and women everywhere, women such as Alicia Keys, Hilliary Clinton, Pat Mitchell, Melinda Gates and others.
