Get to know our team! Today we are featuring Lucas Greenberg our summer intern from Case Western Reserve University! What do you do at UH Ventures in one sentence? - I've been interning with Matthew Zenker and the new UH Haslam Sports Innovation Center with their incoming deal flow. I research, analyze, and compile a variety of data and information to assess sports-medicine and health companies/markets to help accelerate and invest in them. I'm also working on the upcoming SportsLand event with Patricia Colella, MBA, by helping out in all areas of event management. What are your favorite things to do outside of school? - I love to exercise and try new workouts, but more importantly, I love to eat. During COVID, I began cooking and baking as a way to unwind; I try to make a meal four times a week. My favorite dish to make is my grandfather’s shrimp and pea risotto. Favorite binge-worthy TV show? - The Office. I have seen The Office over five times and I can quote certain scenes by heart! What is your favorite restaurant in Cleveland? - Batuqui; a fun Brazilian summer dinner spot. What do you love about Cleveland? - I was born and raised all around Cleveland, and throughout my time, there has been one constant: the people. Everyone from Cleveland has a unique and inspiring story, and I love meeting people from around the world. #Internship #HealthTech #Innovation #EventManagement #Innovation #CareerDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #Cleveland

I recently joined a Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal (MSPBJ) 𝘿𝙀𝙄 𝙐𝙥𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚 panel where we dived into the complexities and pressing issues within diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work. I was honored to join Dirk DeYoung, our moderator, and fellow panelists Ka Vang, MS, Anne Doepner, Cecilia Stanton Adams, and DAVID EDGERTON JR (DEJ) as we shared perspectives on navigating these rapidly evolving dynamics. The Business Journal has summarized key highlights from our discussion in an article (link in comments) 📖. For many of us in this space we're holding and navigating a lot: - The evolving DEI landscape - Risk of litigation weighing heavily on strategic decision-making As I shared during the panel, leading in DEI today feels deeply personal, touching on aspects of identity and community that are central to who I am. At The BrandLab, these shifts have required us to be agile—especially in our summer internship program, which has always prioritized BIPOC college students in line with our mission. Now, we’re adapting by emphasizing a commitment to underrepresented communities within our application process. Check out the article below 👇🏽 for more insights from our conversation. These are important topics—let’s continue to share strategies and keep this work moving forward. #NonProfitLeadership #DEI #Leadership #Diversityandinclusion

This week, we are thrilled to introduce William Vandiver, a rising junior at Trinity College majoring in Political Science and minoring in Behavioral Finance. This summer, William is interning with our Legal team, contributing his analytical skills and enthusiasm for the field to our ongoing projects. We look forward to the fresh perspectives William will bring and the impact he will have during his time with us. Continue reading to learn more about William: 1. How do you approach personal growth and continuous learning? I approach growth and personal development by acting like a sponge when I'm around others. I love learning from people's experiences and perspectives and applying their lessons to my day-to-day. 2. What's the most significant lesson you've learned thus far, and how has it impacted you? The most valuable lesson I've learned so far in my life is the importance of developing good habits, eliminating bad ones, and the value of consistency. 3. What are your top three productivity tips for a successful workday? My three productivity tips for a successful day are to schedule out my responsibilities, cut out distractions, and focus on each task individually rather than multitask. 4. As a child, what career did you want to have when you “grew up?” When I was young, I wanted to be a marine biologist because of Shark Week. 5. What is something that brings you joy? Spending time with friends and family brings me the most joy. #CenterSquare #SummerInternship #Spotlight

When you get to work with your own daughter... Sure, I've seen my daughter Chase Carpenter in action. I've seen how her smile and positive energy can draw people in. I've watched her rally groups of young women, whether it's for pure fun and community development, or it's for a purpose-driven event, meant to move the needle. She's an organized, efficient, and magnetic leader. So you may imagine my pride getting to work alongside her this past summer at The Lola. The Lola is a vibrant, women's community space where I've been co-working for the past year and a half. I've also contributed some work to The LOLA team, helping Dana Xavier Dojnik with project management processes and content marketing; starting and co-leading a weekly accountability group with Melissa Uppelschoten, now led by superstar Qiana Avery, SHRM-CP; and co-facilitating the monthly, in-person Founders & Freelancers group with the incomparable energy-shifter Kafi London. In short, being part of The LOLA community has been my jam. When The LOLA accepted Chase as an intern last spring, I knew she'd fit right in. She understood the assignment: to help support the powerful network of inclusive, female entrepreneurs and women in business who want to build a life and career in which we are constantly growing, thriving and succeeding. It's exciting to see young women realize and embrace their own power. It makes me wish I knew what they already know when I was in my 20s! But it was a different time and we were ALL different people. :) I'm excited to keep my focus on what's ahead for all of us. Because women - young, mid-life and wise - will change the world. Established women in business and emerging female leaders: if you haven't felt it yet, lean in. And lean in HARD, because our time is NOW. #WomenInBusiness #FemaleLeadership #NextGenLeaders #MotherDaughterTeam #EmpowerWomen #WomenSupportingWomen #CommunityLeadership #FemaleEntrepreneurs #MentorshipMatters #TheLOLA #WomenWhoLead #CareerGrowth #InclusiveLeadership #YoungLeaders #WomenEmpowerment

This author suggests that we’re living in a rare period in history where six generations are working together, from the octogenarians of the Silent Generation who are still in leadership roles to the teens of Generation Alpha, who are entering internships. A health system the size of ours at UVA Health is certainly one of those environments where diverse and intergenerational work is the norm–a “6G organization.” Here are suggestions for ways that we can rethink and celebrate generational differences on our teams: https://bit.ly/49y02pO

Beautiful book with beautiful colors and ilustration .

Today marks 6 months since Grace Meyer joined The Sweeney Group as our Digital Marketing Specialist! I am thrilled and grateful to have Grace at my side! Of course, I love that Grace is a Shaker Heights High School graduate! Actually, Grace and Allie's paths crossed there as classmates. Now also a graduate of Elon University, Grace brings her degree in Strategic Communications with a minor in Psychology to the world of real estate. Make no mistake, those two specialties are essential to success for our clients. In fact, that pretty much sums up a day in the life of a real estate team! Grace also brings experience executing a wide range of digital marketing tactics through internships during and after her time at Elon. I'm sure you've noticed an incredible difference in our social media since Grace took charge! Our brand, our reach, our everything is elevated farther than I could have hoped for in only 6 months. And, Grace is doing much more than just that, especially to support our listing clients to ensure we present their home in the best light in a multi-channel campaign. THANK YOU, GRACE - for all you do now and what I imagine you will be doing in the years ahead! You might not have envisioned yourself in real estate yet here you are and immediately successful. #togetheryourmove #newhire #realtorlife #marketing #marketingdigital

Take some time today to sit and think through how much listening you've done in your conversations lately. If you feel like you've been pitching a lot, then you probably been talking too much.
