Pres. Biden named Juneteenth National Independence Day, a federal holiday. This comes nearly 13 months after the senseless murder of George Floyd, which sparked a nationwide outcry on subjects of prejudice and injustice ingrained in America’s past and present.
Biden sent a clear message he would not permit the erasure of Black cultural contributions to continue. We applaud this historic milestone in American history.
June is also a time of celebration as LGBTQ+ Pride Month. We value our clients, colleagues, and friends of all identities and orientations. I was thrilled to take this picture as a sign of support in my neighborhood of Andersonville in Chicago.

Using ‘They’ as a Gender Pronoun in Communications |
|
By Jenna Wenkoff, IABC Catalyst
While studying communications, a professor told us not to use “they” as a gender pronoun to avoid confusing our audience. As companies embrace diversity and inclusion, this statement excludes transgender individuals who do not identify as male or female. There are many pronouns used to refer to non-binary individuals, but one of the most common is the singular “they and them.”
Thankfully, I got to chat with Yana Calou who identifies as they/them and is the director of public relations at Trans Lifeline, a North American nonprofit with a crisis hotline for transgender individuals. Right out of the gate, Yana made it clear why it’s important to use preferred pronouns.
“If someone has a clear pronoun and you are avoiding it for the sake of not using that specific word, I think there are accuracy problems with that. Imparting truth, accuracy and nuance is important. It’s a problem if something is inaccurate and missing information.”
More importantly, Yana explained why pronouns are meaningful to them and many transgender people.

2. JUNE 23rd - "REDUCING STRESS, BURNOUT & CREATING A WINNING JOB SEARCH" - $20
|
|
The one question that no one can answer about your job search is: How long will it take to land your next career opportunity? That makes for a frustrating and very stressful experience. Add to this the fact that our world and the amount of information is changing rapidly and many of job seekers are struggling to keep pace. Over 90% of the world’s data has been created in the last two years. And for job seekers this can bring on a feeling of frustration and stress that can lead to burnout, health & family challenges. So what can you do to shift from merely surviving to THRIVING during your job search?
This webinar features motivational speaker, MICHAEL HAHN, who will address how you can leverage your time in transition by developing a different mindset that produces more positive results. The job search can be a very lonely journey but if you can channel your mind and your actions in the right way, you’ll get far more activity, you’ll exude a positive outlook and you will perform better during networking meetings and interviews. Some of the topics that Michael will cover include:
Learn how to “Design a Winnable Game” personally and professionally as you navigate to your next job opportunity.
Learn practical tools to metabolize stress during the challenges of a job search.
Discover how to “Assume Positive Intent” in the face of change, uncertainty and rejection.
Realize the essential habits to shift from surviving to THRIVING.
After Michael’s presentation, we will have a round of virtual networking where small group breakout rooms will be created and you will have an opportunity to share a bit about your background and companies of interest to you. People often leave these networking sessions with warm introductions into firms that they otherwise can’t get into on their own.
Date: Wed June 23, 2021
Time: 7:00-8:45 PM CST

Learn from their journey as they present some of their biggest lessons learned to date. Hopefully, you’ll not only learn from their mistakes but will glean new insights to thrive in the current marketing landscape.
