Hey, it's Rachel Cook, your modern mentor. I'm the founder of Lead Above Noise, where we help

leaders activate performance without burning out their teams or themselves. If your team could use a boost

of inspiration and action, I'd love to support you. You can find out more about me and my work

at Lead Above noise.com.

So we're kicking off the summer season.

And as the days get longer and the summer vibe settle in, we're bringing you some fresh

inspiration.

Throughout the month of June, I'll be sitting down with a new, insightful guest each week

for a quick hit of workplace wisdom and inspiration.

Today's interview is with Alex Salis. He is the assistant chief people officer of the New Jersey

Sports and Exposition Authority, and he is the New York City President of Shirm. That's the Society

for Human Resources Management. And in this

conversation, we talk a little bit about what Alex is seeing happen in the workplace, and he leaves you

with a couple of bits of wisdom. So I hope you enjoy my conversation with Alex Salas.

Alex Salas, welcome to the Modern Mentor podcast. It is such a pleasure to have you here. And I just, before

you say anything, I want to say, this is actually our second take. We tried this once before.

We had some technical issues. And when I reached out to tell you that, instead of telling me it was a bummer,

you said, that's great news because I think I could do even better

the next time and I have so much admiration for that. So welcome back. Well, it's great to be back

part two, part three, whenever. It's great to always talk with you, Rachel. Awesome. And we're

going to shoot for just two, but you never know, right? True. So, Alex, it is a pleasure to have you here today.

We are trying something a little bit different on the Modern Mentor podcast.
