Miriam Hernandez-Kakol Urges Employees to Set Wellness ‘Non-Negotiables’ | #MakeChange | Salesforce

I have to get up every morning and have a cup of coffee, a glass of water. I need to stretch, step outside, get a breath of fresh air. That's my wellness routine. Our Deputy Chair, Laura Nowinski has a great saying that I learned from her a long time ago, which is you need to set your non negotiables. The things that you just are not going to change either in your personal life or in your career ambitions. I have a strong belief in the shadow of the leader and we as leaders need to help our people achieve their career ambitions within those non negotiables that they have determined. I think the way that leaders can create opportunities for the next generation of minority leaders is really through having a very proactive and energized succession planning process and be transparent about it. As a manager, you cannot predetermine what an individual's career ambition is. You need to let the individual pick what that career ambition is. At KPMG we have something called Accelerate 2025, which is the commitment of our entire leadership team to really get to a 50% parity in every leadership arena. My name is Miriam Hernandez Caekel and I'm ready to make.
