A little perspective and insight from our featured WiLL speakers...

We've had fun getting to know these women this year. We hope you enjoy these thoughts from each of their sessions and feel inspired.

Deirdre Savage, Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA

​"You don't need to be a Leader to be a leader... Don't be constrained by your title to define whether you can demonstrate that you have leadership qualities that will be leveraged. And make sure you are getting paid to be leveraged.” 

Michelle Markowitz, Cardinal Cushing Centers

"I think that stepping into these various roles as my career grew. I think that going from a peer to a supervisor definitely has its challenges but I think what's important as a leader is to always be your authentic self. If you are truly your authentic self and you lead with empathy, humility and respect you'll always be successful."

Lily Hsu, Labouré College of Healthcare

​“I’m a firm believer in partnerships. I don’t think anyone can do it on your own. I think the partnerships are the way in which we make our communities stronger and thereby make our own companies or institutions stronger as well. It’s one of the reasons I got interested in the Chamber – who else is involved and making contributions and being mutually supportive.”

Webinar with Eric Rosengren

8/12/2020

0 Comments

 
Eric Rosengren, President of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank, addressed the Chamber this morning. 

Five take-aways worth highlighting: 
  1. Economic recovering is stronger where there is more control of the pandemic.
  2. Mass. doing a better job than other parts of the country because we have done a better job addressing outbreaks. 
  3. Regions and local economies that were weak prior to the shutdown will have a slower recover but
  4. The success of individual businesses may be determined by adaptability to change more than their initial strength  and
  5. Saving  businesses is critical in order to get people back to work. It is easier to recover from business losses than lost businesses.
