I’m as Hotty Toddy as anybody; but, being surprised that Kiffin is leaving is like being surprised that the stripper didn’t really love you.

Hey @DenverAirportW @united the B Gate expansion area at the Denver Airport is literally a sauna compared to the rest of the airport. It’s like being banished to the shed out back with no air.

Before CEO, community leader, workforce expert or even wife…I am a MOM. It is above EVERYTHING & since his 1st breath I’ve had vivid nightmares of my son calling out to me in his final moments of pain or fear & not being there. Tyre calling out to his mother shatters my soul.

Today was a good day. It’s critical for organizations to take an introspective look at culture. Who are we as a workforce system? What is so essential to who we are that it’s in our system’s DNA. Our AJC team SHOWED UP and it was amazing to be together again!

@tamisawyer It’s an issue we HAVE to figure out—for business growth & worker well-being. Strategy of being the low-wage workforce capital of mid-south has not led us to any of the outcomes we seek. We WANT businesses to thrive; just not at the expense of 30% poverty.
