  Maggie Kimberl Education

  For years we've heard that screen time is toxic to kids and we should curtail it as much as possible.

  Utah has fabulous five national parks (Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches) along with 43 state parks.

• A new look at math in the classroom

  Brian Stack Education

  Be honest with yourself. How many of you remember how to factor a polynomial? How many of you have found a use for this skill in the real world? Am I being a little snarky right now? Perhaps. But as a former high school math teacher myself, I'm worried that the profession is doing a disservice to millions of students who are not making the deep connections with math in the same way that they do with other content areas.

• Healthcare providers, trauma, and the science of resilience

  Keith Carlson Medical & Allied Healthcare

  It is widely agreed that all healthcare providers can be exposed to all manner of work-related trauma. Whether it’s a pandemic, a serious disaster, witnessing a child’s suffering, or a grieving family’s pain, it can all add up to trauma. The terms secondary trauma, compassion fatigue, and vicarious traumatization can often be used interchangeably, and one thing can be deduced from much of the literature: developing resilience is one bulwark against the ravages of such intensely impactful stress.

  John McAdams Recreation & Leisure

  As Robert Ruark once wrote: "The old man used to say that the best part of hunting and fishing was the thinking about going and the talking about it after you got back." I certainly see where both Ruark and the old man were coming from on that point. It’s also tough to go wrong with a good book about hunting or fishing. Fortunately, some of America’s greatest literary icons have produced some outstanding works on the subject over the years. Here are a few of my favorites.

  Kevin Reynolds Retail

  If there is one thing the coronavirus pandemic has exposed for small and medium-sized businesses, it is their near-universal competition with Amazon. The online retail giant has come under increased scrutiny during recent months as the company’s stock has increased by over 60%.

  Seth Sandronsky Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  The coronavirus pandemic closed 22% of small businesses across the U.S. between February and April, according to a brief from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (NY Fed). Forty-one percent of black-owned businesses, almost double the overall number, closed. Business location matters.

• Create a sense of belonging within your organization

  Charles H. Vogl and Carrie Melissa Jones Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  Belonging is a feeling. None of us want to participate in communities where we don't feel good, welcome, or appreciated.
