Mandolen recently had the opportunity to speak at the inaugural event hosted by Alexion Pharmaceuticals and Patient Authentic . Although she offered insight on one of our most client-requested topics, “Posturing Out of Imposter Syndrome”, Mandolen found herself immensely humbled by the incredible rare disease patient advocates she spoke with. Living with rare diseases herself, the opportunity to connect with our new friends was definitely not “another day at the office”! We especially want to thank for her tireless work in the patient advocacy realm, as well as her support of !

We feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to chat with Alex on StyleLearn Origins talking about a topic that is so important and that is Change Management! Change can be tricky, uncomfortable and just plain and simple something we do not want. BUT it's inevitable. We all have a story and change is definitely a big part of it.

Take some time to check out our most recent podcast and let us know what you think!

Not many people can handle change at work, and then even less people can fathom drastic changes in their life. Dr. Mandolen Mull's story of personal change seems like a godsend since she was already studying the science of change. This is the most impactful episode I have ever experienced and Mandol...

Happy Veterans Day to all the strong and courageous individuals who have served! We are thankful for you all!

Veterans not only were willing to sacrifice their lives when they enlisted or were drafted, they sacrificed the way of life as they had known it. They relinquished a great deal of personal freedom in service to protecting collective freedom. They then experienced yet another disruption to that way of life when they left service.

When my GDad returned home from 7 tours between two conflicts and retired as a full-bird Colonel, he wrote to a family friend.

That family friend was a long-standing US Senator.

GDad implored the Senator to sponsor a bill providing robust benefits for our veterans. The response?

“You have the benefit of a grateful nation.”

Do our veterans though?

Do you thank a veteran every time you see them going about their day?

Do you show your gratitude by advocating for their rights?

Do you support causes like the Oscar Mike Foundation (help for wounded veterans), Burn Pits 360 (help for those exposed to untold toxins while in service in the Gulf), or COMMIT (help to transition out of military and into civilian life)?

What do you do to show these men and women, who answered the call of true service, that you are part of a grateful nation?

Make today more than just words.
Make today be a day you truly honor those who have served.
They deserve it.

By 2025 college enrollment of first time freshman will decrease by 15%. This “birth dearth” is due to the fact that less people were having children during the 2008 Great Recession…but also because the tightened labor shortage (currently, 77% of global employees cite difficulty finding employees to fill their positions) has decreased the value of college educations. This is not at all to mention the rising cost of tuition. Therefore, colleges seeking to remain viable must be integrating with community needs. However, with stagnant wages, the rise of alternative WFH working environments, and high rates of , education first needs to ensure it has the quality employee base to serve those needs.

In 2016 the portion of the US economy comprised of freelancers was just over 10%.
Today it’s 36%.
By the end of this decade it will be 50%.
As workers seek to diversify income streams, attain autonomy, and integrate well-being in their lives, the traditional workplace model will need to change.

We are sure that the idea of change being difficult is not surprising to most, but the idea that as much as two-thirds of all change initiatives fail is. Without a proper plan when it comes to leading your team, a change initiative can be extremally costly to your organization. Let's work together to make sure this does not happen to you!
