• ⚡ The Power of Awareness: How tools like the freeze exercise can help you slow down, reflect, and align your actions with your values.

From Jacques:

You have a passion for the future of work & the employee experience. 

I do too.

I am excited about designing workplaces for attracting lifelong employees… who thrive, not burnout.

I help pioneering leaders realize this vision by upgrading their well-being strategy with a human connection strategy.

The 21st century is the century of loneliness. And we know the more connected your people are, the higher they’ll perform and the more they’ll thrive.

Human connection is not measurable, but its impact is immeasurable.

So what do you do?

You execute an evidence-based Human Connection Strategy.

That is, you operationalize effective practices for advancing belonging and psychological safety throughout your company’s gatherings.

It doesn’t require complex logistics nor booking more meetings.

What it requires is upgrading your internal events, team-building programs, and meeting operations (all the way from L&D to onboarding).

This is the expertise of the Chief Connection Scientist.

My life mission is to spread the health benefits of human connection. I’m looking for allies.

Request a health check for your company’s existing Human Connection Practices and I’ll provide tailored recommendations. Pro bono.

Request a HEALTH CHECK or CHAT. 

— Jacques

About Ryan:  Hi and thanks for reading this 'about me'. I am a mobility entrepreneur and a few years ago I started SHARE Mobility to be a part of the transformation of the automotive industry into the mobility industry. I am very interested in autonomous vehicles and the connected car innovations that will create a future where everyone is a passenger. Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is going to enable people to use multimodal transportation and mobility subscriptions will replace car ownership. My goal with SHARE Mobility is to get large organizations and cities to offer MaaS as a benefit.

I host a podcast about transportation called Commute. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJGh3av0JOnxupilM5g6pew

I write about transportation and mobility on Medium. www.medium.com/@rynmcmns

About Share Mobility:  

The way you move determines the way you live. SHARE Mobility was founded to create a future where transportation is more sustainable and equitable. As the world evolves from motors to mobility, we are committed to making transportation that works for everyone - especially those who lack reliable transportation. We are not here to take your car. We exist to bring transportation to those that need it.

We develop technology and manage world-class mobility services to deliver the most efficient and sustainable mode of transportation. You can call it MaaS, microtransit, or mobility - just don’t call it ride-sharing.

It’s time to eliminate transportation as a barrier to employment and we are here to help your company with everything you need to provide commuter benefits.

BETSY KAUFFMAN is a globally recognized Organizational Agility Coach with more than 20 years of experience working in Fortune 500 companies as well as the Founder, CEO, and Coach at Cross Impact, speaker, and mentor in the Charlotte Women in Business Mentoring Program. In addition to a Bachelor of Business Administration from James Madison University, she spent 20+ years working in corporate America trying to figure out how to balance motherhood, working full time, and climbing the corporate ladder in a competitive tech environment where women weren’t supportive of each other.

Experts point to a broken rung at the first step to manager level as holding women back. For every 100 men who are promoted from entry-level roles to manager positions, only 87 women are promoted. As a result, men significantly outnumber women at the manager level, and women can never catch up. There are simply too few women to promote to senior leadership positions because the best candidates are often held back at the stage she calls “the messy middle”. And the disparity is even more glaring in senior leadership where only one in four C-suite leaders is a woman.

Over the years, Betsy learned to find her voice and use it to positively support and influence colleagues, clients, and various companies. In 2014, Betsy started Cross Impact when she realized the organizational work she was doing and 1:1 leadership coaching were desperately needed in organizations worldwide.
