I’m going to be straightforward here: Success doesn’t happen overnight – for anyone. And that’s okay, because slow and steady work leads to success that is sustainable in a way that nothing “overnight” can match.
Recent history is filled with highly successful people who worked hard for years before achieving their dreams. Take James Dyson, of the vacuum cleaners and hand dryers. He changed the vacuum industry and is working to change other industries as well.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Women Executive Leadership (WEL), a nonprofit dedicated to gender parity in the boardroom and the C-suite, has expanded its programming to offer Boardroom Briefings for members of public and private company Boards of Directors. These invitation-only briefings bring together experts and board members of all genders to delve into important topics being discussed in boardrooms.
The first Boardroom Briefing, held July 13, brought together directors from more than two dozen companies in an open dialogue with each other and an expert on environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics. Participants noted that the conversations and connection with directors from other companies were invaluable.
The Boardroom Briefings, run by WEL’s new Advocacy Committee, are a natural extension of the organization’s work. For more than 20 years, WEL has empowered women leaders with a variety of training and preparation to advance their careers, position themselves to join boards of directors and connect with potential board opportunities.

By Lauren Comander
For the third year in a row, about a dozen undergraduate students gained valuable knowledge and experience in a growing field through the School’s Compliance Boot Camp. Ranging from freshmen to seniors, they each returned to campus a week early from winter break to study the basic concepts of compliance theory and practice in the health care and financial industries. They learned from business law faculty members Anita Cava and Mark Shapiro, as well as professionals in the field, then applied the information in developing case presentations on real-life compliance failures. The Boot Camp has proven so valuable that Shapiro is offering a new undergraduate business law course, The Art and Science of Compliance, this fall.

The graduation rate at Miami- Dade County Public Schools was 80.7% last year — highest since the state began tracking graduation statistics with modern methods. In 2007, the rate was 58.7%. Also last year, the system saw its first year with no schools receiving an F; in 1999, when the state began assigning letter grades, 26 schools in the county earned an F. Two-thirds of all schools earned grades of A or B last year, and the district’s average was a B. In October, the district was one of four in Florida to earn a $15-million U.S. Department of Education Magnet Schools Assistance Program grant. And school leaders seem to be making progress in their efforts to negotiate changes to a new state law that diverts millions in construction funding from traditional public schools to charter schools.

When the economy was riding high, companies could pick their office space based on ''location, location, location.'' In today's economic climate, though, that mantra is being challenged by another: ''cost, cost, cost.'' Growing concerns over the bottom line have businesses reassessing whether a pricey downtown location is essential, or whether it is a luxury that can be avoided.
TrèsKoi Public Relations, for instance, considered space in downtown Miami or South Beach, but ultimately settled on The Bank building at Northeast 81st Street and Biscayne Boulevard.
