Lionel Lee shared thisSo incredibly proud of our Education Equity team here at Google for graduating the latest cohort of our newly-relaunched Google Tech Exchange program. Thanks to their tireless work, we hosted 165+ students from 15 HBCU and HSI partner campuses in the Bay Area for a week-long immersion. It’s the first time since the start of the pandemic that we were able to host students at a Google campus, and it’s incredibly fulfilling to prepare these students to get internships and full-time jobs at Google and other tech companies. I was honored to participate in the celebration by presenting the welcome keynote. In an era where progress towards representation and equity in Big Tech feels achingly slow, Tech Exchange is a reminder that great work is still happening every day to build a more inclusive workforce where everyone is given the opportunity to build for a world where all feel they belong. We are on a journey at Google to create opportunities that will positively impact the demographics of the Tech ecosystem and by doing so, positively impact the lives of so many and hopefully help to build a more inclusive world. The level of dedication and passion of the teams at Google that do this important work leave me in awe. We were so honored to host these students, and cannot wait for them to school us on what the future will be. Mary M Streetzel Melonie Parker Cassandra Johnson Googler reflections: Nathan Lupstein (Google Education Equity Team): What's special about Tech Exchange is the way it can help students to tangibly envision their future in Tech...There's nothing more inspiring than seeing our Tech Exchange students realize their boundless potential Jessica Hill Hill (Google Education Equity Team): Seeing Tech Exchange evolve over time into this program that changes the lives of so many is incredibly inspiring . Im so grateful to work at a company that is willing to truly invest in diversifying the Tech Industry while taking bold, strategic and thoughtful action. Jenn Marroquin (Google Education Equity Team): After two plus years of a hiatus, seeing our students IRL was affirming not only for our program team but the hundreds of Google volunteers... I’m thankful to our leadership and Google for the investment we’re able to make in these students' lives and their commitment to developing the next generation of Black and Latinx engineers. Joshua Gutierrez (Google Education Equity Team): As a former Cal State graduate, seeing the students at Tech Exchange light up when they TRULY see Google as an option for them, brings me immense joy. Sarah Peck (Google Education Equity Team): Our programs are nothing if not centering the needs and desires of our users...I am so proud of this team for persevering and centering the student experience #google #leadership #opportunity #education #students #TechExchange #Equity #belonging

Lionel Lee liked thisLionel Lee liked thisSales Kickoff always brings a different kind of energy, but this one hit a little deeper. Being back in the room with so many driven, competitive, and growth-minded people at Zillow is a reminder of what makes this place special. It’s not just about numbers (even though we love to win). It’s about the people behind them, the leaders we’re becoming, the teams we’re building, and the impact we’re driving together. This year, what stood out most wasn’t just strategy or product, it was accountability, ownership, and leveling up. The expectation is clear: think bigger, move faster, and execute with purpose. Proud to be part of a team that continues to raise the bar, and even more excited for what we’re about to go build. Let’s go win. 🚀

Mental health awareness month!! 💚 Today I’m reflecting on the amazing opportunities I had to partner with Allyson Pesta, Jami Thomas, and Lionel Lee to launch Zillow’s very first mental health event in 2021. “It’s OK not to be OK!!!” 🤟💙 And that was the beginning of something very special. I’m so grateful for the folks who helped ensure we ended the stigmas around mental health, because mental health IS health! So grateful for the hundreds of folks who came together to drive social impact, events, and meaningful moments for the resource group. And grateful for Alison Alfano & Holly Kiely for your continued impact on the ERG movement!!!

Lionel Lee liked thisLionel Lee liked thisI fundamentally reject any definition of executive presence that tries to force me into pretending to be someone I am not. My confidence doesn't come from your opinion of me. It comes from my earned credibility and lived experience. Last year, I led highly rated leadership development sessions in person across the United States, as well as in Sydney and Brazil. I did not shape shift in those environments to blend in. I showed up as myself. - Humor - Hip-hop references - Lived experiences Plus: - 15+ years of experience - Educational credentials - Proven results My decisions have merit because I have tried, failed, learned, tried again, and know what works. My methodologies are valid because they are grounded in best practices, supported by research, and have been validated in global settings. So no, I am not interested in showing up as anyone but myself. I also encourage you to show your executive presence by showing up clear, confident and backed by the work you have already done.

Lionel Lee liked thisLionel Lee liked thisSpent the day at #ONE21 in Las Vegas with hundreds of CENTURY 21® real estate agents, walking through the agentic shift and what it means for the industry. A few takeaways I shared that translate beyond real estate: 🟡 The interface is collapsing. A year ago the user went to the model, opened the app, typed the prompt, parsed the response. Today the model comes to the user, runs in the background, and takes action across surfaces (web, CRM, email, calendar) without supervision. The unit of work moves from "answer" to "outcome." 🟡 The right mental model is roles, not apps. What's resonating with operators isn't a feature list, it's a team. Marketing manager, research analyst, ISA, transaction coordinator, assistant. Each with goals, context, and a voice. That's the framing that makes agentic stick. 🟡 Vertical specialization is where the moat is forming. Real estate is a uniquely hard substrate for generic agents: ISA workflows run on 6–24 month nurture cycles, contracts and disclosures shift by jurisdiction, and every local market has its own MLS schema, norms, and comps. A home is the largest, most emotional, longest-cycle purchase most people ever make The winning systems are the ones that encode the vertical, not the ones that wrap a generic LLM. The day closed with a dynamic fireside with Mike Puma and Jimmy McNally, two amazing CENTURY 21® leaders actually shipping AI inside the franchise, not just talking about it. Grateful to #ONE21 for the invitation. The audience showed up curious and left specific. #ONE21 #Century21 Thank you, Casey Robinson and Bryan Pitt!

Stop guessing if your pitch works—let investors "roast" it tonight. Before you hit "Submit" on your SDAC application at 11:59 PM, bring your deck to the Pitch Deconstruction workshop at 5:30 PM. Three reasons to be in the room: The Hot Seat: Step on stage for a 1-minute pitch and get immediate, "no-filter" feedback from the local angels who actually manage the fund. The Reality Check: Hear exactly why LLCs and certain business models get rejected, and learn how to pivot your narrative before the clock runs out. The Network: Meet fund managers like Brian Engleman and Tracy Stevens in person at the University of San Diego to build the relationships that last beyond tonight's deadline. Register for the Pitch Deconstruction (5:30 PM at USD)

In the hyper-competitive Southern California aerospace ecosystem, traditional text-based job boards are no longer enough to attract elite talent. In this episode, we explore the "Inbound Talent Mandate"—a strategic shift toward long-form employer branding that turns visionary leadership into a magnet for top-tier engineers. We take a deep dive into the challenges faced by companies like Voyager Technologies as they scale operations in Long Beach. With a goal of hiring 200 elite professionals by year-end, the pressure is on to move beyond passive recruiting and build a high-retention content funnel that showcases the human faces behind civil and national security missions. The Recruitment Power Play: Beyond Passive Listings: Why top-tier talent ignores standard job boards and how video marketing creates necessary "pull" for elite hires. The Authority Engine: Using video podcast marketing to unpack complex projects—from lunar missions to AI-enabled software and next-gen propulsion. The 30X Advantage: How Voxel Micro Video Labs’ extraction process turns a single one-hour podcast into 30 days of high-impact micro-content for LinkedIn and YouTube Shorts. Frictionless Production: Why extreme proximity to the South Bay’s industrial hubs eliminates logistical delays and accelerates time-to-market. The Voxel Micro Video Labs Impact This video serves as a hypothetical example of what Voxel Micro Video Labs can do for small brands, local entrepreneurs, and growing aerospace firms. Our high-density workflows allow you to deploy a full-scale recruitment marketing campaign without the overhead of an internal media team. Looking to build your authority and attract the best minds? Visit our San Pedro studio for the most specialized podcast studio rental in the South Bay. 🚀 Elevate your recruitment: https://lnkd.in/gzmZM9AC 🏢 Aerospace & Commercial Real Estate Strategy: https://lnkd.in/gpR6Y7bv 🛍️ Support Local: https://lnkd.in/gzbsqCim #VoyagerTechnologies #AerospaceHiring #LongBeachBusiness #VoxelMicroVideoLabs #VideoMarketing #SouthBayJobs #EmployerBranding #SpaceIndustry #PodcastStudioRental #TechRecruitment

Across Northern California, increased investor and private-equity involvement is reshaping leadership expectations. Executives are being evaluated not just on outcomes—but on: • Speed of execution • Board communication • Cultural alignment post-transaction This environment amplifies leadership risk. Organizations that embed executive mentoring and transition planning are better positioned to protect enterprise value while meeting heightened expectations. For HR leaders, this is an opportunity to proactively support executives under pressure—without waiting for disruption. #PrivateEquity #BoardReadiness #ExecutiveAdvisory #ExecutiveMentoring #ICEO #LHH #NorthernCaliforniaHR
