This past year has been a really big one for me.  Not only did Shannon and I publish our first book together, Steel Toes and Stilettos, but I did a year of full-time study to attain a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.  As this new chapter of my career begins, I am energized by combining my multi-decade experience as a Senior Executive in four publicly-traded global companies with the science of positive psychology.   Below, please find my first published article that shares how companies can get results through prosocial behaviors and initiatives, such as creating an environment characterized by psychological safety, breaking down persistent stereotypes through leadership action, and providing opportunities for team members to serve in the community. I am passionate about helping individuals and companies getting better results through science-based principles that help them flourish.  I hope you enjoy this article and will look forward to future publications.     https://industrytoday.com/prosocial-behaviors-benefit-manufacturing-businesses/
