You can never learn enough about managing people. Even a manager who’s been at it for 30 years will tell you they’re still learning.

Don't reinvent the wheel: How to repurpose your learning content
BlueSky eLearn
Associations want to be considered thought leaders in their field and be the place learners go to for educational content, but they don’t have unlimited resources (or time!) to achieve this.

In Ethiopia, tourism opportunities are on the rise
Travel Weekly
Ethiopia is an up-and-coming African destination that has the potential to become a bucket-list adventure for many travelers. Ethiopia has one of the fastest-growing economies on the continent, but there remain some challenges. One of these is that the country doesn't have any foreign banks, a major deterrent for companies wanting to invest in the destination. Another is accessibility, especially from the U.S.: Ethiopian Airlines is the only major carrier that flies nonstop to the States, with seasonal service from Washington Dulles and Chicago O'Hare.

Forbes
It was the return of business travel that tipped Stephanie Dismore's calendar over the edge. Earlier this year, as the HP senior executive juggled running to airport gates with a schedule still filled with pandemic-era Zoom calls, Dismore sat down with her assistant and did an audit of her meetings.
