The New York skyline, particularly at dawn, symbolizes not just the strength of the city, but the enduring spirit of its people. Leadership is about standing tall amidst challenges, much like these skyscrapers against the vast sky. It’s about illuminating the path for others, just as the morning sun reflects off the buildings, creating a beacon of hope and direction. Resilience, on the other hand, is the calm, steadfast water that supports and surrounds the city. It’s about adapting, evolving, and continuously moving forward, no matter the circumstances. In our professional lives, we often face turbulent times. It’s during these moments that true leadership and resilience shine through. Let’s embrace these qualities, inspire those around us, and rise above the challenges, just as this city does every day. Let’s connect and share our stories of leadership and resilience.

Cleveland is the only Ohio city to make the World’s Best Cities list for 2025, earning a spot in the top cities globally and ranking an impressive No. 2 in Price-to-Income Ratio. The publication writes: "Few American cities boast a rebirth story like Cleveland’s." "The city is full of this practical ambition and doing the right thing: from the newly renamed MLB Cleveland Guardians (and this year’s accessibility- focused renos to Progressive Field) to the work of the new Cleveland Talent Alliance that aims to make the city “one of the fastest growing and most diverse, inclusive and welcoming metro areas in the Midwest by 2030.” 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eAAwaAxB #GreaterCLE #AllIn City of Cleveland - City Hall Cuyahoga County Destination Cleveland State of Ohio EDWINS Leadership & Restaurant Institute Cleveland Guardians Cleveland Clinic

Imagine a downtown where interesting and beautiful places keep you wanting to walk further, to see more and experience all of the diverse activity that surrounds you; (kinda like the feeling you had the first time you visited City Museum). I envision a place where people would prefer to not have a car when living in or visiting downtown because of how it takes away from the vibrant experience and sense of adventure one gets just from being there. What if we rebuilt downtown to be a fully livable, self-sustaining community that has everything one needs for a happy and healthy life, (like groceries, parks, schools, jobs, etc.) all without ever needing to get into a car? But let's not stop there. What if we built a place that was truly invigorating... a place that daily inspires creativity and sparks the innovative and creative juices waiting to be unlocked in each of our brains? We can use lessons learned from neuroscience to inform how we create such a place that stimulates our neurons. We can even tap into the brain hacks that gaming and social media companies have used to design this place by creating a compulsion loop that: 1. triggers interest, 2. provokes action (i.e., walking one more block, checking out a store/event/piece of art, etc.), 3. provides a variable reward (things change and you never know what you will experience from one day to the next), and 4. entices an investment (time, money, talent, etc.) back into the community so that each resident or visitor can leave their finger print on the place - which then triggers the interest of the next person. Let's not make the mistake of thinking that we need to build back what once was, (i.e., a central business district where people come for their 9-5 and little else). Downtown hitting "rock bottom" is our chance to build something entirely new and different. It's time to think outside the box. Please share your thoughts in the comments below. Let's start a discussion!
