A.E. Finley Distinguished Service Award Honors Community's Best

5/23/2017

At the Chamber’s 2016 Annual Meeting, Gregory Poole Jr. issued a challenge to attendees.

“Be people who represent leadership that is kind, ethical, disciplined, determined, competent, humble, and most importantly, full of integrity,” he told 700 business and community leaders who had gathered at the Raleigh Convention Center. Read the full text of his remarks here.

Poole was named the winner of the A.E. Finley Distinguished Service Award, presented annually to a person who has, through leadership, dedication, support, and involvement, made significant contributions to the betterment and improvement of our community.

Poole certainly fit the bill. As a business leader, he set the bar for business excellence in Raleigh and beyond through his leadership of the Gregory Poole Equipment Company and Waste Industries. His passion and commitment to community service significantly impacted the social well-being of Raleigh's residents. Most recently, he worked tirelessly to build community support, raise funds, engage national experts, negotiate with officials, and support the master planning of the future Dix Park.
​
“His great energy, strength of character, and belief that everyone should contribute to ‘making a better world’ make him the obvious choice for this year’s award,” said Jill Wells Heath, 2015/16 Chamber Board Chair.

Call for Nominations 

When he accepted the award on Sept. 7, 2016, Poole joined a distinguished group of honorees. Past winners make up a who’s-who of community leaders who have built businesses, guided organizations, and left their unforgettable marks on our region. The time has come to add another name to the list.

​The Chamber is now accepting nominations for the 2017 award, which will be presented at the Annual Meeting on Sept. 14. Criteria can be found here, and the nomination form can be downloaded here. The deadline to nominate an individual is Tuesday, June 20.

The Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce announced today that Adrienne Cole has been named as its new president and CEO. She has recently served as the Chamber’s senior vice president of Economic Development and executive director of Wake County Economic Development.
 
“Adrienne possesses the expertise to lead the Chamber to accomplish all of our goals,” said Greg Winkler, chair of the Chamber Board of Directors. Last year the Chamber developed a new strategic plan and established five top priorities which include creating jobs and economic investments, advancing transportation solutions, fostering diversity and inclusion in the business community, expanding the Chamber’s foundation, and growing value for its members.
 
“As the first female president of the Chamber, Adrienne will bring a fresh perspective to its 129-year history,” Winkler said. “Her unique talents and creativity will be a great asset to advance our region.”
 
Cole brings more than 20 years of business leadership experience to her new role. Under Cole’s guidance, Wake County Economic Development and the Greater Raleigh Chamber announced more than 30 corporate relocations and expansions totaling over $250 million in capital investments and creating more than 5,000 new jobs.
 
Cole’s additional career accomplishments include:
  • Worked to secure and improve state and local economic development incentives
  • As an RDU Board member, assisted in the recruitment of the Delta Paris flight
  • Recruited Campbell Law School to Raleigh
  • Facilitated Red Hat’s headquarters expansion to downtown Raleigh
  • Served as economic development leader in Pamlico and Carteret counties and for the city of Raleigh
 
Jill Wells Heath, president and CEO of CALYX Engineers + Consultants and past chair of the Chamber’s Board of Directors, chaired the search committee that worked with Waverly Partners, LLC. “Our national search of chamber executives provided very competitive candidates,” Heath said. “Adrienne’s wide breadth of knowledge and experience was unmatched.”
 
“I’m so excited to serve the community my family and I have called home for many years,” Cole said. “I am very proud to lead the Greater Raleigh Chamber and to continue the tradition of collaboration that makes Raleigh, Wake County, and the Triangle region special.”
 
Cole is a graduate of Meredith College and received a master’s degree in public administration from Appalachian State University.

How the Emerging Leaders Program Transformed Me Personally and Professionally

3/14/2017

By Bill O'Boyle
CEO, North State Consulting



I was humbled when Citrix nominated me to the Emerging Leaders Program. I must admit that, at first, I saw it as a networking opportunity and a resume builder. I was honored and excited by the opportunity, but I grossly underestimated the impact this program would have. I had the opportunity to learn from some of the most purpose driven leaders in the area, develop long lasting relationships with amazing peers, and learn how I could better serve the community.
 
This format of the program is amazing. The leaders were not selected simply from financial success. The common thread was selfless service and leading a purpose driven life although I doubt that was ever prompted.  We did not hear endless stories of how they worked 15 hour days for 20 years to “achieve.” Instead, we heard countless stories of their people and the platforms they created. I do not recall an exec bragging about a recent stock price but I do remember many stories of how proud of the impact their firm or institution had on the community and the people they served.    
 
Each leader was amazing but one stood out from the moment I met him: Dr. Everett Ward, president of St. Augustine’s University. Dr. Ward is a man who walks with a purpose in every step he takes. Dr. Ward was born on the HBCU he graduated from and now is tasked to resurrect. I saw firsthand what it meant for a leader to selfishly serve a mission and inspire all those around him to do the same. He faced many challenges upon accepting the position and he did address some of them. However, he spent the time helping us understand the generations of pride that surround you as soon as you enter the truly remarkable university. He graciously gave us a tour while he greeted every single student, faculty, and staff member by first name that walked by. I have been back to St. Aug's several times, called on Dr. Ward for advice, and also formed an official partnership with Citrix. I would not have had that opportunity without this program, and I am extremely grateful.

​I also made long lasting friendships with classmates. Allison Warren Barber was the senior vice president of the Greater Triangle United Way. We quickly realized there was an opportunity for us to work together in the community. As with most nonprofits, there is often a shortage of resources. This is true with financial capital and human capital. We decided to address both. At the time, I led a team of nine that structured complex, strategic partnerships with other software companies. That often involved creating joint go-to-market strategies. We decided to use our human capital to develop the go-to-market strategy for Innovate United. We wanted to increase participation and increase donations so we applied the same methodologies in the tech industry. Our team absolutely loved the experience of working with the United Way and the program was a huge success. That model has been taught to other United Way and businesses across the country. Allison is now the CEO of the Seattle-area United Way, and I have served on the Community Engagement Committee for two years. That is all thanks to the Emerging Leaders Program.
 
I was inspired by the program to also attend Leadership North Carolina. I now have my own company and can proudly say we have 14 employees here in Raleigh. I am honored to have graduated from the program and now serve on the Chamber's Small Business Advisory Board. The Chamber is an invaluable part of our community and look forward to sending our first applicant to the program this quarter.

Gary Greene Gives Insight on How Leaders Can Make an Impact

                  By:  Angie Coole
                         Marketing Specialist 
                         Greene Resources 




Greene Resources had the wonderful opportunity to not only sponsor the Chamber's December C-Suite Perspectives breakfast, but also to hear from our own president and founder, Gary Greene. Gary provided us with insight on how leaders (and anyone!) can truly make an impact in the lives of those around them. 

To make an impact, you must do five things:
​
1.Show You Care
Success comes down to individual moments with individual people and ensuring the people in your life know that they matter. 

2.Change Your Point of View
Whether you work in sales, management, or another field, you will have greater success with effective communication if you approach a conversation from the perspective of the other person. 
 
3.Be Present
When you engage with others, providing your full attention and being present will make all the difference because “people will forget about what you said, people will forget about what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
 
4.Create Memorable Moments
Find a way to be different, not only in the way you do business but also in the way you develop relationships.  You can create a more memorable and positive experience by taking the time to get to know your coworkers, customers, and employees.
 
5.Find and Follow Your Passion
Greene Resources was founded on the idea that you must love what you do and you must love the people you are serving.  When you are passionate about what you do and you surround yourself with people who share that passion, anything is possible.

It's been almost seventeen years since Gary started Greene Resources and the foundation behind the business is still the same. Greene Resources is committed to putting people first and exceeding expectations through purposeful talent solutions. By valuing people above all else, we make a lasting impact in the careers, businesses, and lives of those we serve. 

Angie Coole is a Greene Resources marketing specialist who works in Raleigh. When Angie is not taking snapchats of her cat or binge watching Netflix original shows, she manages and creates content for marketing initiatives, coordinates internal and exrernal communications, and supports the Greene Gives Back philanthropy program with local non-profits.

Be Leaders Who Are Full of Integrity

9/14/2016

Gregory Poole Jr. received the A.E. Finley Distinguished Service Award at the Chamber's 128th Annual Meeting on Sept. 7. In a moving acceptance speech, he issued a challenge to all attendees. Read the text of his remarks below or watch the presentation here.

In standing before you tonight, I am reminded how quickly life passes! My 81 years have moved so rapidly and many of us have seen and experienced a explosive change in our city, communities, and our great state. Whether from pastures, to dirt roads, to highways or airways, we continue to be a thriving and robust city – certainly much is happening for which we all can be proud. 

I wish, however, to talk to you tonight, not about the past or even the present, but the future.  A future that hopefully, will be shaped by many of you in this room. My plea to each of you is the following:
Be people who represent leadership that is kind, ethical, disciplined, determined, competent, humble, and most importantly, full of integrity.  ​
​What does this really mean in the practical sense? Well, here goes my attempt:
  • It means LISTENING twice as much as SPEAKING, so as, to hear what the other person is really saying.    
  • It means, QUIETLY, doing things in the community, UNOTICED, like buying a meal for a stranger, or befriending someone at the Healing Place, the Soup Kitchen, or Salvation Army.    
  • It means SCHEDULING TIME in your day for the UNEXPECTED. Seeing a homeless person on the street can be construed as “I do not have time.” Yet, let us all try, hard, to learn to stop, to get to know the other person and see him or her AS A GIFT.  
  • It means treating the custodian in your building with the same respect as you would the CEO.  
  • It means tipping, APPROPRIATELY, all the time – no questions asked, no thanks needed.    
  • It means putting FAMILY FIRST. Life is too short to be concerned with accomplishments. It is much richer in the moments where love is extended, people are blessed, and community is shared. That is what I have tried to be for Mary Ann, my children, Gregory Poole employees, my friends, and this community. I have not always succeeded, but I keep trying to be a man who reflects the love that has been bestowed on me.  

Thank you for this honor. And I want to thank all of you in this room, who have played important roles in my life. You have allowed me to share this special evening with all of you. Thank you.

4 Questions with Claire Shipman

2/9/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
Claire Shipman is a regular contributor to Good Morning America and other national broadcasts for ABC News.

She is the co-author, with Katty Kay, of two New York Times bestsellers. "The Confidence Code: The Art and Science of Self-Assurance—and What Women Need to Know," is an informative and practical guide to understanding the importance of confidence—and learning how to achieve it—for women of all ages and at all stages of their career. "Womenomics: Work Less, Achieve More, Live Better," addresses how today's women's management style is ideally suited for the 21st century business world as it produces more profitable companies with happier employees.

What surprised you the most in your research findings regarding women’s confidence?
Both Katty and I were most surprised at the fact that women routinely underestimate themselves. We didn’t really think the numbers on that would be so solid. I think we were also surprised that there is a genetic component to confidence. Some people really are born with a propensity to be more confident. It’s annoying!
 
What does it mean to be professionally confident?
It means that you are not afraid of risk and failure. It means you are willing to be less than perfect, in order to grow.

Is there a difference between being aggressive and being confident?
Absolutely. Being aggressive is a behavioral style. Being confident is evaluating the situation, and deciding that you are willing to act because you believe you can affect change. Confidence can be quite quiet and calm.

What is the first step to building your confidence?
Self-awareness. It’s critical that you become aware of your internal dialogue. Are you ruminating? Are you striving for perfection? Are you telling yourself not to take a chance and step out of your comfort zone? In the course of writing this book, for example, I came to see what a die-hard perfectionist I am, and how much that inhibits confidence. Once I understood what I was doing, it became easier to change it. Not that I’ve fully morphed into a devil-may-care risk-taker, by any means. But when I find myself hesitating or stewing, I can stop that process and move on much more easily.

Hear from Shipman on March 11

Shipman is the keynote speaker at the Chamber's Women's Leadership Conference on March 11. In addition to her presentation, the event includes a panel discussion and breakout sessions further exploring your executive presence.
