Congratulations Dr. Council

A woman I respect and admire, and consider a colleague and a friend, constantly amazes me. It’s LaVerne Council, CIO of Johnson & Johnson. She recently was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Business Administration from Drexel University, and her words of wisdom to students were practical and inspirational. This woman is not only smart businesswise, but is also motivated by compassion and heart.

In her commencement address, LaVerne asked the students to share some humanity along their journey in life, and said to them, “Ask yourself a few simple questions...Did I create an opportunity for someone today? Did I make someone feel better? Did I do it just because? How you answer those questions is the measure of YOUR humanity!”

Fondly, Helene
