“If you think you’ve fallen down a mechanical shaft, (imagine a scene from ‘Die Hard’) you have! And rightfully so, the infrastructure within a building is essential to its support of the users and user experience, contributing markedly to the innovation in building design, and certainly central to LEED and energy modeling. We work hand in hand, shaping the space and providing for the air circulation passageways needed by the selected smart-controlled heating/cooling systems.”

“Despite seven large orgs recently losing their Black women HR/DEI leaders, there are many who can lead DEI and shifting culture. But, the work is not the kind of work that people may want to do – it is deep, it is significant, it is seeing actual change from the top down. The biggest challenge that orgs are facing is themselves. Change happens beginning with the ability to see potential, invest in people and set aside funding to support people.”
