8 executives share the best advice they received from mom

8 executives share the best advice they received from mom8 executives share the best advice they received from momShe bought the first brew from your lemonade stand. Read - and re-read - every last paper or project you were worried about. She helped you pack up for college, and well, choose a university. She edited your first resume. Framed your successes - and then bragged about them to anyone who would listen. She came to your games and your graduations and welches therbeie to pick up the pieces of every disappointment, no matter how significant.As your greatest fan, your cheerleader and the woman who inspired you to chase after those lofty dreams, certifications, degrees and gigs, the impact of an ever-encouraging mom extends well into adulthood. Even if your mom doesnt work in the same industry you selected for yourself, her smart - and carefully-selected - words make a difference in your professional decisions and progression. Especially for these executives, having their m other in their corner ensured their success and amped their confidence.Ladders is now on SmartNewsDownload the SmartNews app and add the Ladders channel to read the latest career news and advice wherever you go.In honor of Mothers Day, they express their sentimentsYou can always reinvent yourself.Though Charlie Javice, the founder of FRANK, finds a shift in perspective scary like anyone else, it was her mom who taught her the importance of reinvention. And maybe mora importantly, not to fear the tides.Growing up, I remember watching as she changed careers and attained degrees through her tenacity, grit, and perseverance. It instilled a fearless persistence in me and I wouldnt have the confidence I needed to succeed if I didnt have that foundational training. Her biggest piece of direct advice to me was that no can really mean yes - if you ask enough times. And wouldnt you know it, the saying here is true mother is always right, she shared.You have to always go for it.Founder of RA MONA and Bellus Wines, as well as director of Wine Special Projects for Momofuku, Jordan Salcito says her mom had a knack for watching out for brilliance in her daughters. Any type of passion was noted, and Salcito landed her first freelance writing gig after her mom encouraged her to type up writing samples and deliver copies in hand-addressed envelopes to editors in Denver, Colorado. It was this habit of perseverance that Salcito says primed her - and her sisters - to not only identify their dreams but go after them with tenacity.This approach to life has been incredibly empowering. Of course, there are always circumstances outside of our control, but having a mindset of focus and persistence has been invaluable as a founder of a company. My main job is to constantly problem solve, pivot when something isnt working, and persevere through any hiccups, she shares.Jobs are a two-way decision.No matter how high you raise in your career, theres still something heart-fluttering about receiving a job offer for an opportunity youre psyched about. But as the chief absatzwirtschaft officer of Evernote Andrew Malcolms mom reminds, jobs are a two-way street - and decision. Thats why she always told him not to be honored by an invitation to take a new gig, and remember its still up to you if you want to work there.I tend to believe that much of your career is luck and the seemingly high correlation of luck and cool job titles supports this belief. My moms advice made me aware of this fact and gave me the confidence to turn down jobs that were undoubtedly cool, just not for me, he explained. Embracing that idea allowed me to choose companies and projects that fit with my passions and where my skills could make a real impact. It also helped me remember my value/worth and what I bring to the table - this is something I try and will continue to instill in my kids in everything they do from activities/hobbies to school work.Face your fears- no matter how big or small.Rega rdless if youre anxious about speaking at your first conference, giving feedback for an employee at a performance review or about putting in your two-week notice, fear has a way of standing in between where you want to be and where you are. Chris Terrill, CEO of ANGI Home Services, the parent company of digital home service brands, including HomeAdvisor and Angies List says his mom stressed the importance of diving in, no matter how scared he was to take that step.Be it going for a position you arent sure youre ready for, public speaking or trying something new you will invariably fail at until you get better - fear is crippling and can hold back even the brightest people. If a young, single mother raising two children can graduate Phi Beta Kappa and get her masters degree in social work, we can all push past our comfort zone to do more than we imagined possible, he brags.You choose your career every single day.Though relationships and jobs are two different beasts, for the Group P resident of Prepared Foods for Tyson Foods, Sally Grimes, their mantras have strikingly relatable benefits. Because her mom came from another generation and another culture, she was part of an arranged marriage, and shed insight on how to make love and marriage work to her daughter. While not intended to become career advice, the idea of choosing something over and over again has paved the path for Sallys career.She told me that love is something you work at - and to never to confuse the feelings of romance with actual love. She also advised that love is something you choose every day, even when you arent feeling it. Ive actually applied this to my career. Time after time Ive rejected the romance of jobs or industries that were sexy or popular in the moment, in favor of substantive challenges like the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the worlds food system. And on the days when I am not feeling it, I just work at it, she explains.You have to work really hard.Growing u p, cofounder of Betches Media, Aleen Kuperman watched her mom - a Jewish-Russian immigrant - build a successful OB/GYN practice, without any money or knowledge of the English language. It was a long journey, but one that gave Kuperman a glimpse into whats required for success grit.Through watching my mother get through medical school while I was only a few years old and observing her work ethic as she got further and further in her career, I have learned that you have to work extremely hard to get to where you want to be. This is something I have applied throughout the process of cofounding and growing a business Im passionate about, she shared.And since her mom did it with her own two hands - and stubborn ethic - Kuperman followed in her footsteps, and decided not to rely on financial support from anyone but herself. This makes the excelling media company the complete self-funded product of Kuperman and her fellow female founders.Find a career you love.Its the same words of wis dom weve all heard over and over again, but it doesnt make them less true doing something day-in and day-out that you adore will make you happier- and more successful. The cofounder of MVMT, a watch and sunglass company, Jake Kassan says his mom encouraged him to follow his passion, no matter how ludicrous it might have sounded at the start.She supported my decision to be an entrepreneur, to drop out of college and pursue my crazy ventures was everything to me. I needed that support to get to where Im at today. I have some friends whose parents fight with them and discourage them from their dreams. Im lucky to have my mom, he shared.Treat others how you want to be treated.As one of the golden rules we learn as children, respecting other people extends far past the playground and into every facet of our life - careers included. For cofounder and CEO of Minibar Delivery, Lara Crystal, prioritizing kindness has been at the forefront of her success, all thanks to the words of wisdom fr om her mom.In todays connected age, this advice is more powerful than ever. Your reputation and how you treat others is ultimately what people remember and your greatest legacy, she says.

Slow travel is the latest trend for those looking to squash flying anxiety and help the planet

Slow travel is the latest trend for those looking to squash flying anxiety and help the planetSlow travel is the latest trend for those looking to squash flying anxiety and help the planetA few years ago talk of ditching air travel for the sake of sustainability seemed reserved for radical environmentalists. Now, as data sheds light on just how bad flying is for the environment, the conversation is unavoidable.A sentiment known as flygskam or flight shame, coined by the ever au courant Swedes, is spreading at a rapid-fire pace.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreFlygskam was a major topic of discussion at a summit in Soel two weeks ago, attended by airline industry leaders from around the world. Unchallenged, this sentiment will grow and spread, said Alexandre de Juniac, head of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).What is slow-travel?In response to the proliferation o f Flygskam, a counter-movement has been born known as slow-travel. Slow travel initially got its roots from the slow-food movement of the 1980s in Europe that advocated for the preservation of rtlich cuisine in response to the opening of McDonalds in Rome.Similarly, slow-travel imbues a nostalgic return to the appeal of the Quotidien - a connection to local people and culture. The slow-traveler will make an effort to get to know one area, rather than trying to take in many different regions in a short period of time. In this way, slow-travel is also more sustainable than traditional travel methods in expending less energy, creating less waste, and supporting local geschftsleben.Just how bad is the airline industry?If you were to take a single roundtrip grenzberschreitend flight from New York to London, you alone would emit about 3,000 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere, according to the IACO Carbon Emissions Calculator.Thats more than the average gas-pumping driver emits in three mo nths. To put this into perspective, you could recycle and make eco-friendly buying decisions for a year, and all of this would be voided in a single international flight.Skipping your flight just one or two times a year could reduce your carbon footprint by as much as 10 to 20%.Commercial flying accounts for about 2.5% of global carbon emissions today. Without concrete steps, that number will rise as global air travel increases, said the Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI) in a review of 20 of the worlds major airlines. And yet, none of the 20 airlines has specified how it will reduce its flight emissions after 2025.Is a sustainable aviation industry realistic?The short answer no. Or, at least, bedrngnis at this point in time. The airline industry has purported lofty plans to achieve carbon-neutral growth from 2020 and halve net emissions from 2005 levels by 2050. As of now, their agenda includes fuel alternatives, a readjustment to operations such as enforcing direct flight paths a nd engineering new plane models, such as KLMs futuristic flying-V model that places passengers within the wing.According to the IATA, the implementation of sustainable-fuel sources would have the greatest impact by far, reducing emissions from each flight by a whopping 80%. The predicament? Supply is limited. The reality today is theres just not enough and its too expensive, KLM CEO Pieter Elbers told Reuters. The IATA plans to make at least 2% of fuel sustainably sourced by 2025, but real progress has yet to be made.While at present a sustainable alternative to flying seems unpromising, there are still ways travelers can offset the damage done by the aviation industry.If flying less is not an option for you, there are a few practices you can adopt that are slow-travel approved How does one master slow-travel?1. Fly nonstopTakeoffs and ascent require a great deal more energy than cruising at altitude - up to 75% reported Dan Rutherford, director of aviation programs at the Internat ional Council on Clean Transportation, to USA Today.2. Follow the 600 miles or less ruleTry to avoid hopping aboard a flight for trips that are under 600 miles. Instead, opt for a car, bus, train, or ride-share service. Even better, optimize your energy efficiency game by adding additional people to the car.Buses have been becoming increasingly popular, particularly among millennials for their improved cabin comfort, and amenities like wifi. In fact, a DePaul University study projects that the number of schedule options for bus travelers is growing faster than other modes of travel.3. Make it a longer trip in one placeHave two small trips booked for the next year? Try compressing them into one longer trip. The logic is simple the fewer destinations, the fewer flights taken.Fuel impact aside, opting for a longer trip in one place also embodies the slow-travel philosophy of fully embracing one place, rather than destination cramming.4. Avoid business-classMany people may feel opposed to the idea of giving up added leg room in the name of sustainability. But, theres no denying it the more passengers, the more energy economical.Its easy to make the mistake of justifying your purchase of a business seat by telling yourself, well, the seats will be there whether or not I choose to purchase them. This encourages airlines to continue to design planes with upgraded seating amenities. From a marketing standpoint, it makes sense for airlines to continue to do so.Condoning excessive flying with if everyones not doing it, then it doesnt matter is the kind of mentality that impedes sustainable progress. Slow-travel is only effective if its adopted collectively.

Gender diversity provides huge benefits in the workplace. pWhile some industries have made significant advancements in gender diversity, some industries lag further behind... and the construction industry is well-known for being in the latter category. If someone says, construction workers, youll likely picture a group of men in yellow hard hats analyzing an architects plans or laying bricks on top of a scaffold. A nd men at work signs only help to reinforce this image.pThis stereotype is rooted in reality. When was the last time you actually spotted a woman on a construction site? Or hired a female plumber or carpenter? Your answer is most likely never. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statisticsreports that only 3.4% of the total of 8.3 million construction employees are women.pBut the construction industry has a lot more to offer than steel-toed boots and hard hats, and it needs women to help advance the industry in this era of rapid change. Here are 5 reasons why women joining the workforce or looking to make a pivot should consider a career in construction.h21. Fuel Innovation/h2pNot only is diversity the socially and morally right thing to do, but it is also actually an excellent business strategy. pResearch presented in the Harvard Business Reviewshows that diverse teams develop more innovative ideas. This is further supported by a study conducted by Gallupon the performance of gender-diver se teams versus single-gender teams, which found that the difference in backgrounds and perspectives led to better business performance and problem-solving. h22. Capitalize on Demand/h2pThe construction industry is currently experiencing a labor shortage. The industry itself is booming and projected to be one of the fastest-growing industries, with total spending projected to exceed $1.45 trillion in 2023/a. However, most construction companies are unable to meet the rising demand. pAccording to the Associated General Contractors of America/a, more than 80% of contractors are experiencing difficulties filling hourly craft positions that represent the bulk of the construction workforce.pAnd demand isnt limited to individual contributor roles. Given the industry boom, there are a number of open stable and high-paying roles (any project managers out there?) waiting for the right candidateh23. Leadership Opportunities/h2pAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics/a, women compose only 7.7% of the total 1 million managerial positions in construction.br/pBut given the highly collaborative nature of construction work, more women in leadership roles would help drive innovation and enhance productivity.Furthermore, as a woman in construction in a leadership position, youd have the unique opportunity to drive change for the industry and make it a more attractive option for other women.h24. High-Income Potential/h2pSalaries for many skilled positions in construction are on the rise, making a construction career a prime choice for women looking for a high-paying job,pThe 2018 Construction Craft Salary Surveyconducted by the National Center for Construction Education and Research revealed that salaries for many skilled craft areas are increasing. Project managers and project supervisors topped the list at $92,523 and $88,355, respectively. The next set of highest-paying jobs include those of combo welders ($71,067), instrumentation technicians ($70,080), pipe welders ($69 ,222), power line workers ($68,262) and industrial electricians ($67,269). Of the 32 categories of workers in the survey, 19 positions earned an average salary of $60,000 or higher.h25. Sense of accomplishment/h2p The construction industry can give employees a unique sense of achievement. Yes, the job is stressful and the work can be demanding, but nothing beats the feeling of being able to build something from the ground up. pHow many professionals in other industries can point at a school, a hospital, or a skyscraper and say I helped build that?pThe construction industry has a long way to go in combating gender bias and supporting women in the workforce, but given the current demand for workers, theres no better time to pick up a sledgehammer (figurative or literal) and smash the gender stereotypes plaguing the construction industry.
