From 1997 to 2012 just 1% of VC funded companies had female founders. Three of those companies were mine. People tell me it’s much better for women now, but statistically , this is BS. I raised money for a startup recently, and here’s what I found works best for female founders: Get a male cofounder. Women raising money without a male co-founder have no better odds than they did 30 years ago.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Correlation does not imply causation.” It’s an old adage, and a true one. Correlation is an association between two things. Causation is when one thing causes another thing to happen. Of course, if one thing causes another to happen , those two things are associated. Causation always implies correlation, but again, correlation does not imply causation.

Do not act as if the poem itself has an answer- that it is a question to be solved. Poetry doesn’t have clean answers. It doesn’t have a clean narrative. It’s about the mess. It’s about the emotional impact. It’s about making space for complex ideas all in one place. It’s not an invitation to solve a math problem. It’s about instead an invitation to feel.

We have been convinced that independence is a good substitute for freedom. It’s not! I speak from the place of an “highly independent woman”…I have been since a very young age. The truth is that independence it’s (maybe) a first step, but it leads us into separation and dissociation, and not to true freedom. Independence, can be empowering in some respects, it also has the potential to foster separation and dissociation.

The 'great resignation' and the 'great talent reshuffle' have impacted contact center and customer support staff as much, if not more than, any other part of the workforce. Couple that with a potentially volatile economy and it's clear that organizations must invest in innovative approaches if they want employees who are engaged and informed enough to significantly improve the customer experience and eliminate the high costs associated with agent attrition.
