💙 Celebrating the Lasting Impact of a Mentor!

We are incredibly proud to share that BEATTY's founder, Dr. Ann Beatty, has the honor and privilege of sponsoring Saint Louis University's Richey Lecture in Social Psychology in honor of her mentor, Dr. Marjorie H. Richey.

Throughout our lives, certain people leave an imprint that extends far beyond the classroom or workplace. Great mentors inspire us, challenge us, believe in our potential, and help shape the people and leaders we become.

For Ann, this is a particularly meaningful opportunity to pay tribute to someone who played an important role in her own journey.

This year's lecture features Dr. Cheryl Knott, Professor of Public Health at the University of Maryland, presenting "Research Evidence to Community Impact: A Translational Journey in Cancer Communication."

📅 Thursday, October 15, 2026
🕖 7:00 PM
📍 Busch Auditorium, Chaifetz Business School, Cook Hall at Saint Louis University

As SLU celebrates 100 years of Psychology, we are grateful for the opportunity to recognize the power of mentorship, the pursuit of knowledge, and the lasting difference one individual can make in the lives of others.

A beautiful reminder that the influence of a great mentor lives on through the people they inspire. 💙

Trust: The Currency of Leadership

Trust accelerates everything. Without trust, communication slows, silos grow, and performance suffers. With trust, teams move faster and go farther.🔗 HBR: https://hbr.org/2025/12/most-employees-dont-trust-their-leaders-heres-what-to-do-about-it

Conflict Done Well Builds Stronger Teams

Healthy conflict encourages innovation and prevents groupthink. Teams that avoid conflict often avoid truth.🔗 HBR: https://hbr.org/2025/05/managing-conflict-on-your-executive-team

Strategy Fails Without Leadership Alignment

Even the best strategy falls flat without aligned leaders. Alignment removes friction and creates unified momentum toward common goals.🔗 HBR:https://hbr.org/tip/2026/03/align-your-leadership-team-when-priorities-shift

This Independence Day carries special meaning as our nation celebrates the 250th birthday of the United States.
At BEATTY, we are grateful for the freedoms, opportunities, and shared ideals that have shaped our country for two and a half centuries. As we reflect on this historic milestone, we are reminded that strong communities, organizations, and nations are built through courageous leadership, shared purpose, resilience, and commitment to something greater than ourselves.
Today, we honor the generations who have served, sacrificed, built, led, and contributed to the American story and we look ahead with hope and responsibility for the future we continue to shape together.
From all of us at BEATTY, we wish you a safe, meaningful, and joyful Fourth of July.
