Organizations are facing a looming talent exodus and fierce competition for the very limited supply of employees with the right skills for future needs. i4cp’s global study Accelerating Workforce Readiness found that only 30% of the 1,300 business professionals surveyed worldwide believe their workforce currently has the skills and capabilities necessary to advance strategy over the next 1-3 years.

Significant opportunity lays within their current workforce, however. Unfortunately, most companies do not have a good grasp of the skills of their current workforce. Consider these stats:

✅ Over a quarter (28%) of participants stated that LinkedIn knows more about the employee base than they do

✅ Only 12% said their organization's upskilling/reskilling initiatives are effective

✅ 39% of survey participants indicated that for most employees it was easier to find a job externally than internally.
<h6 class="font-weight-bold mb-0">What we will explore together:</h6>
i4cp Senior Research Analyst Tom Stone will discuss these findings and many more, with an emphasis on the best and next practices that organizations need to implement to promote a culture of continuous learning and a high-level of workforce readiness.

<ul>
 	<li>How would you describe a typical organizational culture today? What changes could make it more competitive mid-21st-century workplace?</li>
 	<li>Does employee training available today hone in on skills like creativity, judgement and intuition? How might we adjust it to better incorporate these?</li>

Exercise and diet are critical factors in the etiology and prevention of chronic disease. While most books on chronic disease have a decided clinical approach, Diet, Exercise, and Chronic Disease: The Biological Basis of Prevention brings together the latest cellular- and molecular-based research on the etiology of chronic diseases and the impact of various aspects of diet and exercise on the causal mechanisms. Focusing on cellular biology reveals details of the integrative nature of the many different underlying factors―elements that are not evident in the general clinical approach to chronic disease.

This book highlights chronic diseases that are significant causes of mortality and have sufficient molecular evidence for dietary and activity-related components to their etiology. Individual chapters examine the role of diet and exercise in diabetes, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease. They cover aspects such as disease etiology, effects of diet and exercise, and the cellular and molecular mechanisms of how various dietary components and repeated exercise alter disease etiology to contribute to disease prevention.

This reference translates molecular-based data on etiology and prevention into a clinical prescription for chronic disease prevention. Since inflammatory signaling is a fundamental component of the chronic diseases discussed, the book includes a separate chapter on inflammation and innate immune responses. The book also reviews what is known about the factors that influence human food intake. Obesity as a contributing factor is addressed within the specific disease chapters.

Why do some people seem magnetic while others seem to repel people? Why are some people so happy, even at those way-too-early board meetings? While seemingly complicated, the answer is straightforward: that individual probably has a positive mindset.

In his book Positive Mindshift: Making Good Things Happen in Life and Work, <a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/don-sandel">Donald Sandel</a> provides a roadmap to creating a better life by improving your mindset with positivity. Using science and real-life stories, Sandel asks the questions needed to accomplish this, including:
<ul class="a-unordered-list a-vertical">
 	<li>Are there health benefits to adopting a positive attitude?</li>
 	<li>How does one overcome negative biases?</li>
 	<li>Is happiness a choice?</li>
 	<li>Does positivity create better outcomes?</li>
</ul>
Sandel has dedicated this chapter of his life to creating a better world through mindset and attitude and now wants to share his insights with you. After all, why should we settle for each day being ordinary when it can be extraordinary?
