In a June 4, 2022 article in the New York Times, titled, “Nadal Advances to Final as Zverev’s Ankle Injury Abruptly ends Match,”1 Christopher Clarey concludes with these words: “Endure long enough and all sorts of surprises await.” With a big smile on my face, I said, “Yes! What a wonderful and powerful mantra for these troubled and complex times.” And that’s why we’re excited to offer in this Q2 issue leadership profiles of Women Worth Watching® in STEM and Asian Leaders Worth Watching. See profiles beginning on page 20. PDJ continues to lead in the area of profiling diverse leaders by collaborating with organizations keen on acknowledging their leaders and achievers. For the past 24 years, our mission has been to advance diversity and inclusion, to increase the visibility of underrepresented groups, and to showcase women who have earned and achieved leadership positions in all areas of the world of work. See: www.womenworthwatching.com There are numerous people and organizations also dedicated to this work. For example, Janet and Gary Smith, the founders of Ivy Planning and frequent contributors to PDJ, have just launched their Go Next Executive Leadership Institute™ to assure that there are qualified diversity executives who will provide the leadership required to propel organizations to greater and more meaningful diversity and inclusion results. Hurray for Ivy Planning, as they endure long enough to achieve success and earn the respect of other DEI leaders. And hurray for all the people dedicated to DEI, as they endure long enough, too. In 2023, we will celebrate 25 years of publishing Profiles in Diversity Journal. For us, “Endure Long Enough and All Sorts of Surprises Await” has been, and continues to be, truly motivating and a driving force behind our commitment to find and feature inclusive organizations and dynamic leaders. Visit our websites, www.diversityjournal.com and www.womenworthwatching.com, to get the latest news, awards information, actionable quick reads, thoughtful essays by experts, and other content that will be interesting and inspiring to anyone who cares about diversity, equity, and inclusion.
