It was such a pleasure to speak to the Florida Board of the Make-A-Wish America Foundation, which is doing so much to brighten the lives of children. The depth of commitment of the Board, on both a personal and professional level, was totally inspiring and reminded me just how powerful business leadership can be when applied to meaningful impact initiatives. Thank you to Real Leaders Inc. for this mention in its Fall 2025 issue, and hats off to Make-A-Wish and its Florida leadership team. #WishesAreWaiting #MakeAWish #RealLeaders #leadership #impact #inspiration

This is why the most important question a brand can ask isn’t, “How do we get through this quarter?” but, “Who are we when it’s hardest?” Because if you don’t live your values when the storm comes, they were never truly your values at all. Here are three steps a brand can take during a moment of pressure.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be speaking at the Sustainable Brands flagship event this year. My session, “Risk, Relevance, & Reach: Turning Consumers into Sustainability Champions,” will explore a question so many of us are wrestling with: In a time of political polarization and climate urgency, how do brands leverage messaging to spark real, consumer-led action? We’ll dig into fresh research, case studies, and practical tools to help brands not only protect their relevance but also build movements that drive measurable growth and meaningful impact. I’m looking forward to the conversation, to learning from peers across industries, and to exploring how we can unlock the collective power of consumers to accelerate change. If you’ll be there, I’d love to connect. And if you haven’t registered to go to the Flagship event yet, use my network code spk25SB25SD and get 25% off your ticket #SB25SanDiego bit.ly/3rLpyY4 #SustainableBrands #Sustainability #Purpose #BrandLeadership #ConsumerEngagement #WeFirst #LeadWithWe Sustainable Brands
