Sincerely,

Dear Readers This special section marks the inaugural Women’s Executive (WE) Summit presented by Bank of America and the beginning of what we hope is a movement to “reimagine” the future of women in the workforce.

There are more female fortune 500 CEOs than ever before (just over 10%) and two-thirds of women in America today are either the sole breadwinner or co-breadwinners in their families. However, while there has been success over the past few decades for women's advancements in the workplace, women are still dramatically underrepresented in leadership and full equality has yet to be realized.

The goal of WE Summit is to bring top female executives, thought leaders, innovators and barrier-breakers together for conversations around this year’s theme: The Future is Now. Together, we can harness the power of this pivotal moment to shape a new path forward and realize a better future for women in the workplace.

We are proud to partner with Bank of America, a market leader, that is committed to investing in and supporting women. From supporting teammates’ wellbeing and professional growth, Bank of America recognizes women are critical for driving the economy.

Join us for this call to action on August 7th at the Crescent Beach Club to explore, discuss and discover new paths on a variety of topics including workforce and skill development, ageism and cultural barriers, mentorship, mental health and self-care.

Sincerely,

Stuart Richner CEO, Richner Communications Publisher, Long Island Herald

LORI ANNE DE IULIO CASDIA Success Coach, Author, Speaker & Radio Host

LDC STRATEGIES

Lori Anne De Iulio Casdia is a #1 international best-selling author, certified professional transformational success coach and strategist, personal development success coach, international speaker, and radio show host of “Healthy Lifestyle with Lori Anne.” She has shared the keynote stage with celebrity and best-selling authors William Paul Young and Dr. Debi Silber. Featured as one of the "fab 14" in Dr. Silber's book Trust Again.

After 35 years in the public and corporate private sectors cultivating her business, marketing, and mentoring tools, Lori Anne decided it was time to go into business for herself to step into her vision and dreams. Her passion is intuitively coaching her clients through their own transformations, and breakthroughs and seeing the possibilities in achieving their vision and dreams. To empower, inspire and educate: Lori Anne accomplishes this through speaking engagements, programs, retreats, her books, 1:1 & group coaching work, and live events.

Jessica Woods was reveling in her corporate job at Ralph Lauren for 16 when she decided to hang up the corporate life at 35 to answer her life’s calls to pursue her passion and grow her businesses.

Jess is now co-founder of Hemp Hermanas LLC, director and certified cannabis advisor at Green Compass Global hemp wellness and, last but not least, owner of JWood Inc. where she offers yoga, meditation & birth doula services.

When Jess focused on what truly mattered to her she watched her businesses flourish, along with her heart and soul. “My daily mantra is: ‘the more I give, the more I receive.”

Making the switch is not as easily said as it is done, it can take patience and plenty of trial and error. During a rough moment or a stressful time, Jess remembers to be aware and come back to ‘the now.’

“Practicing our state of awarenessgives us the capacity to zoom out and observe the mind “ a little like looking at the earth from the moon. Awareness affords us a whole perspective and through this we’re able to gain a whole new understanding,” she said. “By practicing awareness rather than

AIR CHARTER SERVICE: Soaring Above Expectations What began in 1990 in the basement of Chris and Tina Leach's house in Kingston-upon-Thames, UK, with the initial plan to purely pay the bills, soon changed to more ambitious plans. Chris believed there was space in the market for another aircraft charter company, but one that focused solely on exceptional service and building long lasting relationships with its customers. He believed that if you went that extra mile for them then they would always come back and with that blueprint he would build a business, thus Air Charter Service (ACS) was born.

Air Charter Service is now the world’s leading aircraft charter broker – offering multiple services on a truly global scale. With 600 plus employees across 30 offices spanning the globe, the company arranges more than 28,000 charter flights every year, with revenues of over a billion dollars.

“We still hold Chris Leach’s initial approach dear [to us],” Rachel Thayer, Marketing Specialist at ACS

Americas said. “And see ourselves as one big family, whilst making sure that we go the extra mile for our customers, delivering service beyond expectations” While ACS does not own any of the planes they utilize, they have access to all types of aircraft and private terminals. Last year two of their New York offices – one in Uniondale and one in Manhattan – arranged 1,750 passenger charter flights between them; and ACS has hopes of flying even higher with both national and global expansion in the coming future.

“We are looking to continue our expansion plans, both in the US and across the world – we have opened two new offices in the past two months, with more already planned,” She said. “Aircraft charters across all our divisions are at record levels at the moment and we feel that demand will only grow, with charter numbers naturally growing as we expand.”

ACS is not only growing as a

company on the outside, but also within, and that includes breaking the bounds women in the workforce experience.

“We feel that there needs to be equal growth in the workforce, empowering more women, and we’re ahead of the curve with females in leadership roles, as our co-founder is Tina Leach.”

The company is constantly driving change, actively employing females in typically male-dominated positions – including some of ACS’ senior directors in the US and across the world are female.

“In their Americas offices, the head of their Chicago office; the head of Brazil office; as well as our US HR Director, Executive Vice President of Accounts, and Legal Director are all women. We have a Diversity Committee to ensure all equal opportunity is applied across the entire company. ” ACS’ primary services are private jet charters, group charter and cargo aircraft charter. They also offer a full travel & concierge service and time

critical services, including on board couriers and trucking.

Alongside their Diversity Committee, there is also a CESR and a Charity committee, which arrange countless fundraising events around the globe, including wing-walking, skydiving, obstacle courses, beach cleans and tree planting.

Dale Carnegie’s L.I. Office names Herb Escher as President & CEO Herb Escher, who has been part of Dale Carnegie for more than two decades, now assumes the role of President/CEO of Dale Carnegie’s Long Island office. Throughout his tenure, he has held various positions and responsibilities within the company. Currently, he is responsible for supervising the regions of Long Island, Greater Boston, and Western NY regions.

Herb is deeply devoted to assisting organizations in the Long Island area, fostering exceptional leadership, and cultivating highly engaged employees. Additionally, he is happily engaged to a wonderful woman and takes pride in being an uncle and a son.

Taking on his new role, Herb’s primary objective will be to foster the growth of the Dale Carnegie brand and reputation. He aims to do so by living our purpose and providing transformational experiences so individuals can achieve their vision. It is worth noting that Dale Carnegie himself

resided in this very place for an extensive period.

“Working with us is an incredible experience as we are dedicated to transforming how individuals perceive themselves, enabling them to envision the world from a fresh perspective and make a meaningful impact,” Herb said. “Our team thrives in a dynamic setting, embracing principles of active listening and constantly pushing our limits to achieve growth.”

With that, the company also prides itself on giving everyone the opportunity to be their best selves, which is why among their courses they have the Dale Carnegie Course for women. It's designed to inspire and empower women to take on leadership roles with confidence in their work, at home, within their communities and life as a whole.

Dale Carnegie has helped people find success within themselves through various books

and training with over 8 million copies sold. All of which can be condensed into Dale Carnegie’s Golden Book. According to Herb, the fundamental takeaway from this little book is trust. Trust serves as the foundation for our relationships and our own self-belief.

This belief is what Dale Carnegie, former resident of Long Island, built his business based upon. For Herb and the Dale Carnegie employees, L.I. will continue to grow and stay “golden.”

“We are filled with overwhelming enthusiasm as we become part of the vibrant Long Island community, a place that Dale Carnegie himself once called home. We wholeheartedly share the passion and eagerly anticipate establishing ourselves as integral members of this community for many years to come.”

Always and Forever Roses: Preserving flowers, memories and smiles When Jennifer Paretta, owner of Always and Forever Rose Floral Arrangements, first saw a preserved rose, she instantly fell in love, thinking it could be an extraordinary gift: simple, yet meaningful. However when she recommended her son buy one for his girlfriend, Jennifer was shocked at the price and felt a desire to make this simple treasure affordable for more people to enjoy.

From that a business emerged.

Jennifer knew it would be challenging, but she was more than ready to run with her idea and make it a success.

“Doing everything on my own and bringing my business to where it is today within only a year has been hard,” the mother of two said. “I did the marketing, bookkeeping, product creation, order placement — you name it! But there’s nothing I can’t do.”

Her style is in the simple, organic realm: customers can choose between two collections: “Farmhouse” and “Designer” but

she also takes custom requests for bridal showers, weddings, gift boxes, arrangements and preservations.

Bespoken arrangements are also one of her unique services, which allows you to preserve treasured heirlooms or important events.

Handmade with care, using the finest and freshest florals — she lets her creative mind and busy hands do the talking.

“Keeping going is the most important thing to me,” she said, explaining how she manages her multiple sclerosis (MS) while growing her business. “Working out, keeping busy. You will try and fail a number of times, but the key is to keep going — in every aspect of the word.”

Busy as a bee! Not only is Jennifer the owner of her thriving forever rose company, she is also a scientist who additionally refinished doors and tutors organic chemistry on the side. You don’t have to settle on one hobby, putting yourself in a box, you

can evolve and master a number of skills.

“Anyone can do anything if you put your mind to it and keep getting better with time and the learning process,” Jennifer said. “And if you’re looking for a reason to start your own business — here it is! — JUST DO IT! If you don’t try, you will fail.”

Taking risks may seem frightening, but that’s only because you may not know the outcome. You might end up changing not only your life, but the lives of others. Jennifer said that she wasn’t always aware how her creations could have an impact on someone.

Despite her own initial enthusiastic reaction to seeing a forever rose, which made her gleam with awe, after a while it’s possible to lose sight of why you started your business in the first place when in the throes of the day-to-day tasks. “I was out to dinner one night and someone said that they received one of my gifts and it makes her smile every day,” she said. “I was

Jennifer Paretta, Owner of Always and Forever Rose Floral Arrangements reminded of why I am doing this. I try to make someone smile at least once daily. I think that’s something everyone should try to do.”

Q&A with Aimee Kestenberg Elan How did you start your company?

The company started with a product. A great backpack named the Tamitha that I designed while at Parsons The New School for Design out of a need to find a backpack that was functional, fashionable and affordable. It was the first bag sold and loved by all, it quickly became a favorite on the New York fashion scene. From there, I built the first Aimee Kestenberg Collection that was presented at market and picked up immediately by buyers across the country. As the brand grew, my partner and I realized that we had a bigger vision and decided to focus on building a larger company that nurtured creative talent and harnessed expertise in building authentic accessory brands in areas that filled white space in the market.

Today, our portfolio includes Aimee Kestenberg, American Leather Co. and House of Want. www.affordableluxurygroup.com

What is your daily mantra?

It’s easy to get caught up in a busy start to the day…the second we open our eyes, we so often either pick up our phones or jump right into the many demands of the day. As a busy working mother of three, it’s for this reason that I like to take 9 minutes everyday before I do anything else to breathe, meditate and manifest how I want my day to go. I divide that 9 minutes into three stages, 3 minutes of meditative breathing work (Pranayama), this stabilizes my nervous system… I then move on to 3 minutes of meditation… I practice gratefulness (reminding myself how grateful I am yo wake up, all the simple blessings in my life like health and family and food, key disciplines I’d like to uphold such as operating with compassion and lastly I do a 3 minute morning stretch, mild vinyasa to wake up my body and get blood flowing before I start the day.

9 minutes may not seem like much, but this simple step first thing in the morning will change your life.

What has been your greatest accomplishment or most memorable moment since starting your business?

I’d have to say the inner-confidence that came with overcoming significant hurdles or challenges along the way.

My greatest accomplishment was finding strength to keep going in some of the darkest times.

The most memorable moment to date was being presented the 2019 NPD Growth Driver Award by the esteemed Accessories Council at the Design Excellence Awards, held at the world famous Plaza Hotel in New York City, a landmark I’ve loved since I was a young girl.

What has been your hardest obstacle and how did you overcome it?

I’d have to say learning how to balance life between three young children and a fast growing company all while trying to take care of myself.

The demands of it all can be intense.

Learning how to exercise healthy boundaries in all areas of my life required a lot of growth work and discipline. It’s a journey not a destination.

What advice do you have for women or young girls in general or about starting their own company?

It starts with you. Learning to love yourself and prioritize yourself unapologetically will give you the foundation you need to succeed. I always encourage people to start off on someone else’s dime, get a job in the areas in which you want to learn before starting your own business.

Absorb every little bit of information and immerse yourself in as many experiences that you can. When I started my company, I had a basic foundation of how to do it because I had learnt so much by watching how things were done at the companies I worked for, also observing how they could have been done better, how I wanted to be treated differently…

All of these experiences made me a stronger businesswoman and better manager. I’m always happy to answer questions @aimeekestenberg across all social media outlets.
