?? As we approach the end of 2024, we've been reflecting on the power of pressing pause in our increasingly fast-paced world. Between Thanksgiving preparations, holiday festivities, and year-end deadlines, it's easy to get caught in the whirlwind. But here's a thought: What if we intentionally chose to slow down? ?? Our challenge to you: Take a 5-minute pause today. Step outside for coffee. Walk around your office. Simply breathe. It's not just self-care – it's leadership care, especially if you guide teams. Speaking of meaningful pauses, we're thrilled to announce our upcoming Fifth Third Bank Diversity Leadership Symposium: "Growing Together: Cultural Vibrancy & Belonging." We'll be joined by the incredible MJ Acosta-Ruiz, Emmy Award-winning sportscaster, and the first Afro-Latina to host NFL Total Access on NFL Network. ?? Mark your calendars for these upcoming opportunities to connect and grow: ???Chamber Advocacy Council: Post-Election Re-cap ???Cincy Blend: Coffee & Connections at Heritage Bank Center ???Cincy Blend: Coffee & Connections at Taft Museum ???Monthly Member Briefing with Amy Spiller, President of Duke Energy Ohio and Kentucky (Dec 5) In this season of gratitude, let's remember: Sometimes slowing down actually moves us forward. #Leadership #CommunityEngagement #WorkLifeBalance #CincinnatiRegionalChamber #DiversityAndInclusion #ProfessionalDevelopment #Cincinnati #Kentucky
