<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Alicia Procello Maddox is the president of Glendale, California’s Avery Dennison Foundation, a global leader in the label and graphic materials industry. In her leadership position with the company, Alicia Procello Maddox manages both business activities and the organization’s various environmental interests.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">As an industry leader, the<a href="http://www.averydennison.com/en/home/about-us/averydennisonfoundation.html" target="_blank"> Avery Dennison Foundation</a> recognizes the importance of establishing effective, environmentally sound production processes for label and graphic materials creation. To this end, Avery Dennison has established four key principles, known as The Natural Step, in order to better inform green business practices in the future.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The first of the four key principles states that a company should never extract earthly materials at a rate faster than they can be replenished. This concept serves both the planet and the business by minimizing the risk of overworking a specific production resource. Similarly, The Natural Step advises companies to avoid destroying environments at a rate faster than the planet can regrow them.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The Natural Step further encourages business leaders to cease the production of items and materials at a rate that exceeds the time in which nature can break these products down. Lastly, environmentally conscious businesses must preserve the basic rights of local peoples. In other words, businesses should refrain from overworking a natural environment to the point that people in the area can no longer comfortably live and thrive. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">These four steps are key components in the Avery Dennison Foundation’s plan to significantly expand sustainable business practices by 2025.</span>Alicia Procello Maddoxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13961867094199178128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6082505392664417603.post-86031661426995284332017-10-10T23:42:00.000-07:002017-10-11T00:32:35.351-07:00How to Strengthen Your Personal Skills and Get Things Done - Alicia Procello Maddox California<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Having worked as a corporate executive for many years,
<a href="https://twitter.com/AProcelloMaddox" target="_blank">Alicia Procello Maddox</a> is an expert at “getting things done”. For many years,
she has been able to create an unwavering focus in herself, realizing her
strengths and faults to be the best employee she could be. It’s no surprise
that after all that work, Alicia Procello Maddox has risen so far at the Avery
Dennison Foundation. Some strategies Alicia Procello Maddox employs to be the
best version of herself are:</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Clarifying Values: Being clear and taking stock
of what exactly you hold near and dear has become Alicia Maddox California’
greatest strength. She knows what she wants and knows where she isn’t willing
to waver, this is a great quality for any leader to have.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Personal Mission Statement: By creating a
clear-cut personal mission statement for yourself allows you to outline exactly
the person you intend to be in your work life. Rather than faltering, from job
to job, unsure of what you are to do next. Alicia Procello believes you
must write out a concise objective for your career and take all the steps and
opportunities that will make that happen and pass on what won’t.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Reflection and Self Audit: As your career goes
on, it can be very beneficial to take a step back and make sure you are truly
on the right path for you. Doing the things necessary to make what you want
happen and avoiding what will only set you back and have you straying from your
goals.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Where do you excel? By seeing what your major
strengths and weaknesses are, you are able to know precisely what it is you
need to work on and what areas you are comfortable in. This will allow you to
lean on your strengths in times of need, while you wait for your weaknesses to
be remedied.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Following these steps has allowed
<b><a href="http://aliciamaddoxprocello.com/tips-for-building-a-successful-team-alicia-procello-maddox.php" target="_blank">Alicia Procello Maddox California</a></b> to have the corporate career she has wanted, if you
create a plan for yourself in a similar vein you can clearly and concisely plan
out the next few decades of your career, working hard to make sure nothing will
stop you!</li>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Considerations race through your minds, an interior
monolog of thoughts, extraordinary contemplations, unconcerned things, and even
reactions and mean musings. Here and there the attack of thoughts is
excessively and you open your mouth and say things you rapidly lament. A
progression of humiliation, distress, takes after and you ponder what would you
be able to do. What would <b><a href="http://www.aliciamaddoxprocello.com/alicia-maddox-art-in-a-changing-world.php" target="_blank">Alicia Procello Maddox</a> </b>be able to do? While it might appear to be difficult to
change everyone’s considerations or even to moderate the falling stream of
musings it is conceivable. A stream does not commonly change course suddenly,
but rather gradually moves. There are the individuals who can change a stream
rapidly, and the individuals who can get up one morning and choose to change
considerations for a superior life. For most it takes minor switches that
development and give achievement. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

fixated on everybody being ecofriendly. We don't utilize plastic sacks any
longer like we utilized too. We are made a request to ensure that we put
our junk in the correct shading packs for recycling. But is this all
fundamental? Yes, it is exceptionally important because we are gradually

<b><a href="http://aliciaprocellomaddox.net/" target="_blank">Alicia Procello Maddox</a></b>, is the
president of corporate responsibility for one of the US’ most successful
corporations. As she functions in corporate responsibility, Ms. Procello Maddox
encounters many green initiatives, developing all around the world. From
small-scale sustainable farming practices in the countryside of Peru, to the
larger scale efforts to end global warming and the world’s footprint.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
However as with any major cause
that affects the livelihood of millions, there are some who are taking this
idea of environmentalism to an extreme level and it’s very easy to get to that
place. Alicia Procello Maddox has seen it many times in the corporate world,
people often start off with the best of intentions, yet with some small level
of success things change and they begin to crave more and more power. Groups
around the world are turning to extreme environmentalism, to get their point
across. Most of these groups began with peaceful protests but either successes
or failures in the face of those they feel are in charge, have led them down a
path of radicalism. <b><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/AProcelloMaddox/alicia-maddox-california/" target="_blank">Alicia Maddox</a></b> has dealt with environmental groups who will
go so far as to hurt people and commit violent acts in order to get their point
across. What these groups do not understand is the fact that most of these
goals will be achieved through non-violence as opposed to violent acts, if they
simply keep the fight going for an extended period of time. Most of these
groups will simply hurt people and have their causes looked down upon. In
actuality violent acts will cause people to see their initiative as an issue to
be swept under the rug, rather than heard.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">With more than two decades of experience working with nonprofits, Alicia Procello Maddox leverages her knowledge in her current role as president of the Avery Dennison Foundation, based in Glendale, California. In addition to her day-to-day executive role, Alicia Procello Maddox is deeply involved with a number of strategic nonprofit leadership organizations, including the Council on Foundations.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">While there have been advances in the number of women and minorities on nonprofit staffs over the past decade, a recent report by the Council on Foundations reveals that these groups have seen no changes in their opportunities to advance into meaningful leadership roles in those organizations. Looking at the 2016 data, women make up about 77 percent of staff members in these organizations, but only 60 percent of executive leadership roles are occupied by women.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">When looking at the statistics over a 10-year period, the ratio of employees at foundations stays around 75/25 women to men, even though women appear less likely to advance to the top of the ladder. The good news from the report is that larger foundations tend to be more diverse in terms of overall workforce. However, the data does show that, overall, women and minorities are still lagging behind when it comes to consideration for high-level positions.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For decades on decades companies
have been dumping oil and billions of barrels of toxic waste into the Peruvian
amazon. As president of corporate responsibility at Avery Dennison, <a href="http://www.labelsandlabeling.com/news/latest/avery-dennison-foundation-awards-scholarships-china" target="_blank">Alicia Procello</a> Maddox knows corporations need to and can do better. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The people who inhabit these
lands have seen such terrible effects from this dumping. From contaminated
rivers, streams, lakes, lagoons, soils, gardens, game, fish, to all manner of
related health issues; epidemics, miscarriages, skin diseases, diarrhea and even
death. And any semblance of opposition from these people has been squashed and
rights trampled all over. All requests for land titles have been blocked,
protests criminalized, communities and families divided, forest and spiritual
sites destroyed, thousands of outsiders brought in as laborers: taking what few
jobs away from natives. As a result, the confidence in government has long
since beeneroded, and economic hardship has brought in societal issues such as alcoholism,
prostitution, HIV-AIDS, and even suicide. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Much of these Peruvian people
livelihoods and even their main food source came from fishing and farming, but
as result of dumping, fish can no longer live in the waters and the soil has
lost its once fertile base. And all this devastation, and loss of human life is
simply a result of corporations trying to cut a few corners and save a few
dollars. “Saving a buck” has always been the corporate way, but industry minds
like <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/AProcelloMaddox/" target="_blank">Alicia Procello Maddox</a> know that a new mindset must be adopted for the
good of ALL people.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In her previous role as the corporate responsibility manager at Nike, Inc., <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/aliciaprocellomaddoxca/" target="_blank">Alicia Procello Maddox</a> developed various corporate social initiatives and acted as government affairs representative at both the national and state level. Today, Alicia Procello Maddox oversees corporate social responsibility at Avery Dennison, an organization that strives to promote a healthy work-life balance among its employees. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The research on this topic is in. A more <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/244122" target="_blank">flexible work arrangement </a>allows both men and women to better care for their families, especially their children. In addition, studies done by McKinsey show that employees with flexible jobs are healthier, happier, and more productive. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">For women in particular, flexible work arrangements provide better career progression opportunities than the traditional 8-to-5 in-house office role. This is because, according to research, women are less likely to seek promotions if the added work responsibilities conflict with their roles at home. Flexible working arrangements, therefore, empower women to progress in their careers without having to sacrifice other important commitments. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Armed with this knowledge, Avery Dennison has created one of the most progressive work-life arrangement programs, giving their employees the power to determine a work arrangement that is more suitable for them. Employees can choose to work at their own hours outside the traditional 8-to-5 work day, telecommute, work a compressed four-day week, or even share roles with other colleagues. This has empowered its employees, giving them more control over their lives and allowing them to spend more time with their families.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
President Trump’s recent decision to withdraw the US from
the Paris Accord was met with many differing opinions; some seem to be in favor
of such a move while most of the country seems to see it as a mistake. However
there is a third group, many who have no idea what the Paris agreement is, and
how it affects the world’s citizens. Without getting too political on the issue
or choosing any sides, the Paris climate accord, as many call it, is a great
idea. All it really is, is a number of countries banding together to help
reduce our global footprint, and mitigate global warming. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In July of 2017, France’s environment minister, Nicolas
Hulot announced France’s plans to ban all petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040.
As crazy as this may sound, it’s a huge step towards a cleaner, more
environmentally friendly future. And much of the world seems to agree, as of
right now 195 countries have signed the agreement and 154 of them have already
ratified the agreement into their laws. The agreement itself outlines a list of
goals that every country involved should be working towards. First, they aim to
keep the average global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius per year. Something
that hasn’t happened since the industrial revolution, but would literally help
our planets resources last thousands of years longer. Second, to adapt our manufacturing, and
agricultural practices in such a way that will help the climate and lead to
lower greenhouse gas emissions, without threatening our food supply. As it
stands right now our methods of food pro<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>duction are the
biggest threats to our planet. If better methods aren’t created, generations
from now they will be deciding whether to go hungry or destroy the planet. And
lastly, to maneuver the world’s finances in such a way that lowering greenhouse
gas emissions is less costly and more efficient for everyone. Probably the most
important goal in my mind, because unless climate-safe practices can be more
cost effective it will be impossible to get large corporations on board with
such things. At the end of the day a corporation’s job is to make money, and
current environmentally friendly practices are too expensive to be used as the
standard. Obviously, the agreement involves a lot more. Whether our country
takes part or not, we have to find better means of conserving our resources and
lowering the effects of climate change. It’s a global issue, that effects
everyone, regardless of age or race or income, we must all work together to
insure a better future for generations to come.</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a great part of the developing world the general population are still vigorously dependent on the earth. A long ways from the present day extravagances a significant number of us are utilized to now, the general population of these zones depend on the prolific soil, ranger service and regular products to bring home the bacon and sustain their families. In any case, because of deforestation a considerable lot of these districts have been left in ruins and the general population that possess these areas can never again get by as they have for a long time some time recently. Similarly as with large portions of their activities, the Avery Dennison Foundation and its leader <a href="https://www.cakeresume.com/alicia-procello-maddox" target="_blank">Alicia Procello Maddox</a>, have made it their objective of bringing back the woodland and helping the general population in these ranges recover their budgetary autonomy.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">As a corporation, the <span class="il">Avery</span> <span class="il">Dennison</span> <span class="il">Foundation</span> has taken a great interest in assisting in the growth of women and <span class="il">their</span> roles around the <span class="il">world</span>. As with most of <span class="il">its</span> work, the <span class="il">Avery</span> <span class="il">Dennison</span> <span class="il">Foundation</span> and <span class="il">its</span> president <span class="il">Alicia</span> <span class="il">Procello</span> <span class="il">Maddox</span>, <span class="il">have</span> focused <span class="il">their</span> efforts on the women in the developing <span class="il">world</span>. The role of women in under-developed countries is usually that of a second-class citizen. Most aren’t given opportunities, such as education or prosperous work, they are seen as property. But through her work <a href="https://www.levo.com/alicia-procello-maddox" target="_blank"><span class="il">Alicia</span> <span class="il">Procello</span> <span class="il">Maddox</span></a> is leading the effort to change that. She has led the <span class="il">foundation</span> in <span class="il">its</span> support of the Global Greengrants Fund with a two-year grant.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">As part of the grant, the <span class="il">foundation</span> supports seven female-led organizations that are working on issues such as environmental sustainability and women’s empowerment, two of the <span class="il">Foundation</span>’s leading issues. The grant is currently at work on the remote island of Tansin, in northeastern Honduras. Most of the island’s inhabitants are known as the Miskito <span class="il">people</span>. They <span class="il">live</span> in far off villages only accessible by boat or chartered plane. The Miskito community lacks most modern amenities many of us <span class="il">have</span> become accustomed to, and rely mainly on farming in order to survive. As a result of deforestation much of <span class="il">their</span>farmland has been destroyed, creating a lot of competition amongst a normally peaceful group of <span class="il">people</span>. In this competition women are often the biggest losers, as they <span class="il">have</span> limited access to land, technology, money, and <span class="il">have</span> no voice in politics.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Because of this grant the Women’s Association of Tansin has been able to teach women about <span class="il">better</span>, <span class="il">more</span> <span class="il">sustainable</span> farming practices, such as crop diversification and even how to <span class="il">better</span> serve the tourism trade. This training has allowed the women of Tansin to gain financial stability, and a <span class="il">sustainable</span>means of survival for many years to come.</span></div>

Public Health Advocates suggests that this is partially because of economic inequalities in the state. Many traditionally low-income areas have limited access to both healthy foods and recreation areas for playing and exercising. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In order to combat these issues, Public Health Advocates has been listening to concerns from people with diabetes to learn how best to serve their families. This targeted effort began in 2016, and has been working to make diabetes prevention a high priority in California.</span>Alicia Procello Maddoxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13961867094199178128noreply@blogger.com0
