Honoring a Legacy Sarah Marks Richards, President Emerita

 

You're never fully prepared to take the call letting you know that a friend, mentor and community giant has passed on.  Last night when the call came, I was lost in thought over the immense loss for our community on hearing of Sarah's departure from this earth.  As a true force of nature in the arts, a leader both in the restoration of the Historic Hawaii Theatre, and as a board member for many other vital community arts organizations, her loss will be felt in our community for years to come.  During her nearly 25 year tenure as the President of Hawaii Theatre from 1989 to 2014, she oversaw the building of a community of donors and volunteers who continue the work of ensuring a vibrant arts & culture community through the preservation and operation of the historic venue as the state's premiere performing arts facility.  We invite you to take a moment today and think of Sarah's life-long passion for the arts.  Enjoy a few of the videos below as you learn some of the history of how she marshaled leaders in the community to raise over $32 million to restore and reopen the theatre for the benefit of our community.  Sarah's leadership in the arts will be sorely missed, but her legacy will live on through the impactful and lasting work she made her life mission.  Mahalo, Sarah, for all you have done for our community.    - Gregory Dunn on behalf of the Hawaii Theatre Center ‘ohana.

Productive Leaders ECONOMIC AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT - How to effectively lead future teams The Power of Listening: A Leadership Superpower Mary Kelly, Commander, USN, CSP, CPAE Read this article on LinkedIn to join the conversation Read on LinkedIn I am not always a good listener. Listening to others is important and I am working on it, but frankly, I needed more help, so I did some research. You might be like me. You know that one of the most underrated, yet transformative skills a leader can possess is the ability to listen. Listening is an active, intentional, and strategic tool that fosters trust, enhances collaboration, and drives innovation within teams, and yet, sometimes as leaders, we think we must have the answers, so we talk too much and listen too little. Why is active listening so important? 1. Builds Trust At its core, listening is an act of respect. When leaders take the time to truly listen to their team members, they send a powerful message: “I value your input.” This simple act can significantly strengthen trust within an organization. Trust, in turn, is the foundation of any successful team. Without it, collaboration falters, morale declines, and productivity suffers. Active listening demonstrates that leaders are present and engaged. This means putting away distractions, maintaining eye contact, and showing genuine interest in what is being shared. When team members feel that their voices are heard, they are more likely to communicate openly and honestly. This openness creates an environment where ideas flow freely, and conflicts are resolved constructively. 2. Inspires Innovation Listening is also a key to understanding and addressing the needs of your team. Empathy, a cornerstone of effective leadership, ... Keep reading on LinkedIn

"I use a unique password for every work and personal account."

A few days ago, I sat down with a group of trusted friends to share some questions from the Riskara 360 Employee Risk Assessment we’ve been developing at Cypac. When we got to this particular question, everyone’s reaction was pretty much the same: "I use a unique password for every work and personal account." “Uh, no,” was everyone’s response. If this small group is anything like the general population, it’s safe to assume most of us have reused the same password across multiple websites. This quiet habit has turned into a BIG problem. When your passwords are stolen and sold on the dark web, bots and cybercriminals use them to try logging into every service they can find with your leaked email and password combinations.

The Takeaway

A new report from Nordpass reveals the top 200 passwords used worldwide, including in corporate environments. It’s quite a long list, so I’ve shared it on our blog here: https://www.cypac.com/post/are-you-re-using-passwords Take a moment to review these lists. If you find any passwords you’re using, change them immediately. My favorites were: gwerty, princess and tinkle :P What should you do now? Follow these clear guidelines for excellent password hygiene: 1) Use strong, unique passwords. Each password should be at least 12 characters long and avoid personal information like birthdays, names, or addresses. 2) Don't reuse passwords across accounts. If one account is breached, hackers can access others if you’re using the same password. 3) Use a password manager. Tools like LastPass, 1Password, Bitwarden, and KeePass can securely store and generate strong passwords for you. 4) Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) whenever you can. This adds an extra layer of security beyond passwords, such as SMS codes, authenticator apps like Google Authenticator or Duo, or hardware keys like YubiKey. 5) Avoid writing passwords down. Don’t store them in Excel files, sticky notes, or unsecured notepads. For extra credit, visit haveibeenpwned.com to check if your email address has appeared in any data leaks. It’s up to all of us to educate our friends, family, and coworkers about evolving cyber threats. Sharing best practices like these can help keep everyone safe. If you know someone who could benefit from this advice, feel free to forward them this email. Stay safe out there. -Attila P.S. The Riskara 360 Employee Security Risk Assessment is designed to evaluate your company’s strength in four key areas: 1) Awareness – How well do your employees understand cybersecurity risks and practices in the workplace? 2) Behaviors – What security-conscious actions are employees consistently taking in their day-to-day work? 3) Habits – Which security practices have become automatic and ingrained through repeated behaviors? 4) Resilience – When awareness, behaviors, and habits are combined with company policies, they reveal how prepared your organization is to withstand theft, cybercrime, and disaster.

Secretary Hegseth’s Message to the Force

Posted on January 27, 2025 by Seapower Staff

From U.S. Department of Defense Public Affairs, Jan. 25, 2025 

ARLINGTON, Va. — The following message to the U.S. armed forces was released by the new Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth:   

“It is the privilege of a lifetime to lead the warriors of the Department of Defense, under the leadership of our Commander in Chief Donald J. Trump. We will put America First, and we will never back down. 
  
The President gave us a clear mission: achieve Peace through Strength. We will do this in three ways — by restoring the warrior ethos, rebuilding our military, and reestablishing deterrence.    
  
o    We will revive the warrior ethos and restore trust in our military.  We are American warriors. We will defend our country.  Our standards will be high, uncompromising, and clear. The strength of our military is our unity and our shared purpose.   
  
o    We will rebuild our military by matching threats to capabilities. This means reviving our defense industrial base, reforming our acquisition process, passing a financial audit, and rapidly fielding emerging technologies. We will remain the strongest and most lethal force in the world.  
  
o    We will reestablish deterrence by defending our homeland — on the ground and in the sky. We will work with allies and partners to deter aggression in the Indo-Pacific by Communist China, as well as supporting the President’s priority to end wars responsibly and reorient to key threats. We will stand by our allies — and our enemies are on notice. 
  
All of this will be done with a focus on lethality, meritocracy, accountability, standards, and readiness. 
  
I have committed my life to warfighters and their families.  Just as my fellow soldiers had my back on the battlefield, know that I will always have your back. We serve together at a dangerous time.  Our enemies will neither rest nor relent.  And neither will we.  We will stand shoulder to shoulder to meet the urgency of this moment.     
  
Like each of you, I love my country and swore an oath to defend the Constitution. We will do that each and every day, as one team.  Together we will accomplish the President’s mission to deter war, and if necessary, defeat and destroy our enemies. Godspeed!”

You REALLY DO TAKE GREAT PHOTOS - For lots of these folks, it's probably the most recent good photo they have.

And you never get anyone with their mouth open or chewing or eyes closed... or you do a great job at editing them out.

Award-winning American cartoonist, Stephan Pastis, recent strip of Pears Before Swine covered the subject of “What kind of funeral do you want to have?” His characters, Rat and Goat continued the discussion with Rat once again taking the negative approach. “I don’t care.” said Rat. A number of commenters agreed with Rat. However, Commenter scote1379 said, “Pre-arrangement will save you and your Family a world of Grief, Plus you don’t feel rushed making decisions!” g.p.hardy wrote, “I work in the area of bereavement. People ‘not caring’ about what happens when they die are a huge problem for the loved ones they leave behind.” g.p.hardy is correct. You do not want to wait until there is no time left. You’ll leave people in pain at your loss, trying to figure out what you wanted. Tell your Pre-Planning Advisor what you want now

A Pre-Plan is for you to decide whether you want a traditional/casket or cremation. You can make the decisions now as to where you will be buried, or whether you want to be cremated and your ashes scattered, or whether you want a niche, a family plot, or have your own mausoleum, etc. With a Pre-Plan, you will be able to give peace of mind to those close to you and to yourself. As they both said, being prepared is an important part of the life you are living. I can help you prepare yourself for the inevitable no matter when it might arrive. If you plan well in advance, you will prevent your loved ones from suffering and financial costs. Don’t know where to start? Give me a call. You will be able to give peace of mind to those close to you and to yourself. Please call me today. I can help you just like I have assisted more than 10,000 Hawaii families and individuals make their plans for cremation or burial. And, if you travel often, you can also purchase a lifetime travel plan for $599 that, in case you should die while away from Hawaii, will pay to bring your body back – a procedure that can cost thousands of dollars and occurs more often than you may think. This is something you can do that is positive.
