Kathleen Christensen:
A Vision for a Flexible Workplace
What does work mean to you? For millions of Americans, it means spending your days at a computer in an office for a fixed number of hours, on a schedule you probably didn't set yourself. But what if it didn't have to be that way? The ways in which we work have been profoundly changed by the technological advancements of the past 30 years. Now it's possible for people to work at any time, anywhere, allowing meetings to happen seamlessly between colleagues in San Francisco and New York but also blurring the lines between professional and personal lives. Momentum is growing to change this, thanks to institutions and employers who are advocating for more flexibility in the workplace. Join Host Kate Ebner and Kathleen Christensen, Program Director at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and a pioneer of workplace flexibility, to hear the business case for why flexible work arrangements are beneficial for both individuals and their employers.

Women of Vision: National Geographic Photographers on Assignment Exhibit
 While visiting a client at the National Geographic Society this week, Kate stopped in to view the Women of Vision Exhibit that is going on now through March 9, 2014. She was wowed by the beautiful and moving photographs of the 11 women whose work as photojournalists is featured in this exhibit. A short film features the perspectives of these visionary photographers and leaves the visitor with much to consider. If you're in downtown DC, take a lunchtime break and stop in!
