“We have found that no modern prescriptions heal the human heart so fully or so well as the prescription of the Ancient Ones. "To the hills," they would say. To which we would add, "To the trees, the valleys, and the streams, as well." For there is a power in nature that man has ignored. And the result has been heartache and pain.”

305 US Climate Mayors commit to adopt, honor and uphold Paris Climate Agreement goals

STATEMENT FROM THE CLIMATE MAYORS IN RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP’S WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT

The President’s denial of global warming is getting a cold reception from America’s cities.

As 305 US Mayors representing 61 million Americans, we will adopt, honor, and uphold the commitments to the goals enshrined in the Paris Agreement. We will intensify efforts to meet each of our cities’ current climate goals, push for new action to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius target, and work together to create a 21st century clean energy economy.

We will continue to lead. We are increasing investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency. We will buy and create more demand for electric cars and trucks. We will increase our efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, create a clean energy economy, and stand for environmental justice. And if the President wants to break the promises made to our allies enshrined in the historic Paris Agreement, we’ll build and strengthen relationships around the world to protect the planet from devastating climate risks.

The world cannot wait — and neither will we.

Climate Mayors (aka, Mayors National Climate Action Agenda, or MNCAA) is a network of 200 U.S. mayors — representing over 54 million Americans in red states and blue states — working together to strengthen local efforts for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting efforts for binding federal and global-level policy making. Climate Mayors recently released an open letter to President Trump to oppose his actions thus far against action.

If you would like to sign this statement, or require further information about the Climate Mayors (MNCAA) and its activities please email info@climate-mayors.org or visit our websitehttp://www.climate-mayors.org.

NOTE 2pm, 6/2: Please note that we are receiving a significant amount of interest from US cities in joining Climate Mayors and we may be delayed in responding to you. Climate ChangeTrumpParis AgreementCitiesGlobal Warming

It is often said that the only thing constant is change. That is certainly true in today’s work environment where organizations are continuously evolving under pressures for greater profitability and efficiencies, and lower costs. As a result, we often find ourselves facing changes in our careers, whether it be changing responsibilities, a new role, or even a new job search. Such change can be overwhelming, but often presents exciting new opportunities that we otherwise may not have pursued.

In this session, a panel of women who have followed varied and changing career paths will talk about their experiences and what those changes have meant to them, both personally and professionally. The audience will then be presented with a series of questions for self-reflection and small group discussion to stimulate thinking about how to be prepared for possible career change with confidence.

Women Supporting Women: Best Practices for Leveraging Mentors and Sponsors

Sue Chevins, Principal, EY

Are you well supported in your career? Do you have mentors and sponsors who can help you advance your career? Mentors are your sounding boards who are inspiring and share what it takes to succeed spiritually. On the other hand, sponsors have your back! They advocate for you, recommend you for plum assignments, protect you when things go wrong and give you important feedback even when it’s critical or hard to hear.

Let’s find out helpful tips on how to find good mentors and sponsors and maintain good relationships with them!

Mastering the Art of Perseverance and Grit

Kelley Kendle, President & CEO, Synchrogenix

"Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day-in, day-out. Not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years. And working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint." - Dr. Angela Lee Duckworth

Perseverance and grit are critical for personal and professional success. But how do you identify and cultivate grit? How do you develop the self-confidence to persevere in changing and challenging times? Through powerful personal stories, Kelley Kendle will share how these character strengths have been key ingredients in her success. In this session, you'll learn to recognize times of change and uncertainty as opportunities to thrive and succeed.
