Now a few weeks into 2021, the hope and excitement of putting 2020 behind us has started to fade. "This year will be different" is turning again into "how do I survive this?"

Collectively, everyone is grieving the loss of many things and normal coping strategies either do not work or are not possible. The sense of normalcy and safety have changed our support systems. Friends and family have their plate full as they navigate their own fears. The constant worry for our children and seniors have many feeling defeated and over time it begins to feel surreal.

When you think about the holidays, you think about family, friends, and catching up on your reading list. It’s a time filled with community and gatherings and all the warm fuzzy feels.

When work gets busy, it’s easy to feel like it’s all for nothing. And chances are, if you feel like the work you do every day doesn’t make a difference, it’s affecting the way you lead your team.

Have you spent this time in quarantine reflecting on your own personal and professional journey? Have you come to the realization that you are longing to do more with your life? If so that’s a good spot to be.

No really. No matter how old you are, it’s never too early to think about what you want to happen when you die. If you want to keep the “fun” in your funeral, you need a healthcare directive.

“The #MILLSUMMIT is an exciting professional development conference for Millennials, and it takes place this summer in Delaware.” Named Top Young Professionals Conference in U.S by Andrea Brenholz, CEO & President at ATR International

A diverse coalition of young professionals from organizations throughout the state has spent the past year planning the second annual Millennial Summit leadership and development conference.

Last year's event drew more than 350 attendees from seven states. This year, the planning committee hopes to inspire more than 500 professionals from across the region and country.

On August 1, 2017, the Millennial Summit or the "MillSummit" was held at the Chase Center in downtown Wilmington. The description of the event revealed a collaborative networking forum geared toward younger professionals that many of us have defined as "Millennials" or "Generation Y" (those 80 million people born between 1982 and 1997 who now make up the largest population of American workers). The MillSummit, which was planned by, among others, representatives of the State of Delaware, Metropolitan Wilmington Urban League, New Castle County and City of Wilmington government, the Delaware Community Foundation, and both the Delaware Barristers Association and the Young Lawyers Section of the Delaware State Bar Association, boasted an attendance of 300 professionals under the age of 40 who listened to the Governor speak on issues directly affecting them in their work and home lives.
