    Developing People, Building Resilience and the Science of Hope with Emeka Nnaka

    How do we as business owners and leaders help ourselves and our teams become more resilient? Emeka Nnaka was a semi-pro football player rendered partially paralyzed on the field, who went from being told he would never walk again to building a new kind of life he never expected. Emeka & Dixie Agostino, founder of Switchgear Search & Recruiting will be speaking on resilience, positive psychology, people development, mindset, and the science of hope “Hope is comprised of three things: goals, pathways, agency. So, attainable goals, pathways to get to those goals, and the autonomy/belief you have what it takes. So, in my darkest moment, the questions I had for myself were “What do I do now?” “How do I get through this?” and “Do I have what it takes?” And for me, these are the questions of the dark. So, if those are the questions of the dark, it would seem that the answer to the dark is hope.” “When I had it as a goal, I felt like a failure because I wasn’t doing what I wanted to do. But when I recognized it as a way to get to what I wanted to do, that would have changed everything.” “What we see affects how we feel, how we feel affect what we do, and what we do affects how we live.” “Is the circumstance the actual problem? Our problems are never our actual problems. Our view of our problems is our actual problem.” Emeka Nnaka is a counselor, transformational speaker & life coach who has appeared on The Ellen Show. He has spoken at TEDxTulsaCC, DisruptHR Tulsa, the StrongLyfe podcast, The Spirit of Leading podcast and others.

    Big Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Ideas for Small Businesses w Leonelle Thompson

    How do you DO diversity, equity & inclusion in a small business? Leonelle Thompson, Adjunct Professor & Assistant Dean and Director of the Business Career Center in the Collins College of Business at the University of Tulsa gives us ways that small organizations can still have a big DEI impact. Prior to her work in DEI at TU, Leonelle spent 13 years in the oil & gas industry in a variety of roles including taxation and financial accounting, corporate recruiting and training. At TU, she chairs the Staff Advisory Council Diversity and Inclusion Committee. When I recommending people/team members to outside clients, how do I handle it if there’s push back? How do I handle when hiring managers say “we can’t find diverse talent”? For people at the staff level, how do we advance the mission of DE&I when we need buy-in from upper managers? How can I advance the mission of DE&I when everyone I work around looks like me? When is it right to say/write Black v. African-American? How can I promote more diversity in my organization when not all diversity can be seen? The Shift podcast by Switchgear is meant to help small businesses find workable solutions to common problems, including recruiting. Find out more at www.switchgearrecruiting.com
