Dear Colleague,

December 2017

Happy Holidays! I love this time of year to reflect on the progress of the last twelve months and all that I have to be grateful for including my family, friends, clients and colleagues. Feeling blessed and very thankful as another busy year comes to an end! I would like to take a moment to say thank you for your support, kindness and friendship! I wish you much happiness, good health, safety and success in 2018!

I'm happy to share that I have been invited to be a speaker at the ATD (Association of Talent Development) 2018 International Conference and Expo next May in San Diego, CA on the topic of "Emotional Intelligence as a Leadership Predictor" and looking forward to it. What is very exciting is one of the keynote speakers at this event will be President Barack Obama!

Please take a moment to read and/or share some of my recent blogs, events and podcasts below. I look forward to hearing from you and your recent updates!

Best Regards,

Rita Balian Allen

 

10 Leadership Lessons Learned from My Immigrant Armenian Parents

My recent blog on

I am an Armenian immigrant and migrated here from Beirut, Lebanon with my family when I was two years old. My family included my father, mother and two older brothers. Back in the early 1960's there was much unrest in my birthplace prompting my parents to want to provide safety and more opportunity for their children. They were fortunate to have sponsorship from my father's employer to come to America and begin a new life for their family. Although it was difficult to leave behind a wonderful community full of culture, heritage, and the love of family and friends, they were excited to start this new journey. As many have come before me who have immigrated to the United States and many others who continue to do so, there are valuable lessons we take away from our ancestors.
