Fall is a traditional time to get back in the swing of things with the beginning of the school year and people returning from vacation. Subsequently, the fall has been quite hectic for Dr. Leah Hollis, President of Patricia Berkly, LLC. In early fall, Dr. Hollis was featured on WBZN to discuss her book UNEQUAL OPPORTUNITY. Also, Dr. Hollis was featured with Coach Ron Tunick from Ventura, CA. The Pacific Coast drive time radio show informed listeners on how to be on the lookout for discriminatory behavior in the workplace. Later in September, Dr. Hollis visited St. Francis University to offer diversity training for staff and students. Workshops included “Inclusive Curriculum” and “The Intersection of Bullying and Diversity” for the athletic department. Her busy day culminated with a lecture: “Changing Agents: Innovators, leadership and diversity management.”
September also included a visit to the business owners at the Lions Club in Flemington, NJ to discuss “The Perfect Storm: Retaliation in the Workplace.” The most recent EEOC statistics again reveal that retaliation was the leading complaint area in 2011, surpassing race and gender discrimination complaints. Visit the Patricia Berkly LLC YOU TUBE Channel for lectures and other critical information on workplace discrimination.
Later the same month, Dr. Hollis also visited with the PA- NOW Conference in greater Philadelphia to present “Care for the Caregiver.” As the EEOC advises, gender discrimination is not just about being discriminated against because of gender, but also due to the care giving duties typically assigned to women.
The fall continued with a hectic schedule for Dr. Hollis as she presented “Up to Date- Out of Court: Five Updates every employer should know.” Her legal update of Supreme Court cases was provided through the Johnstown Chamber for Commerce for HRCI credits for Human Resources professional in the Laurel Highlands. The same weekend, Dr. Hollis presented a lecture for the SUPER SIXTY of Richland High School and their parents. In these tough economic times, Dr. Hollis conveyed her message of positive imagery and optimism to actualize goals and objectives. October concluded with a national webinar on Workplace Bullying and Employee Engagement. Participants attended from corporations and higher education to learn more on this critical topic plaguing the workplace. Through the year, Dr. Hollis has addressed the topic of bullying, harassment and discrimination. While bullying is technically legal, it is costly and debilitating to any organization. Visit the Patricia Berkly LLC YouTube Channel for lectures and other critical information on work place discrimination.
November will continue with a busy schedule as Dr. Hollis makes a second appearance on the Jim Blasingame Show from Alabama to discus workplace bullying. She also authored “Avoiding Bullies in the Executive Talent Acquisition Process for Todd Raphael of ERE.net. With events planned in late December, and Spring 2012, Leah Hollis of Patricia Berkly LLC has been on the move!
