Alexa Scalzi shared thisCalling all Philly Chief's. Come join us! Thanks for sharing Veronica Hawkins, Ph.D.Alexa Scalzi shared thisStill buzzing from our Philly Chief Executive Dinner — nothing like a room full of brilliant, bold women who can go from strategy talk to belly laughs in under 30 seconds. These in‑person moments always leave me sharper and inspired. Grateful for this powerhouse circle and excited for what we build next together. If you’ve ever thought about joining Chief or want to chat about what the Philly community is really like, connect 📨 with me — happy to share more. And for my current or former Chiefs 2 things: 1) Connect with me if you want an invite to our first informal coffee ☕ connection… coming soon! 2) We started a Philly WhatsApp group - let me know if you want me to add you (or any of the lovely ladies from your dinner!).

Alexa Scalzi shared thisHot take: your resume is probably trying to do too much. When reviewing resumes, one thing stands out quickly: too much information and waaaay too personal. A resume is meant to land an interview, not tell your life story. ❌ Skip the hobbies ✅ Keep it focused. Less really is more. Trying to stand out with personality can backfire. Hiring is often about elimination, and extra details just create more reasons to get passed over. ❌ Avoid long paragraphs ✅ Start with a clear, well-written summary and keep everything easy to read Most roles get thousands of applicants. No one is reading a long resume line by line. ❌Another big one: passive language. ✅Stronger, clearer, and actually shows impact. Recruiters spend just a few seconds scanning a resume, so make every word count. ❌ Typos, grammar issues, sloppy formatting are all immediate red flags ✅ Have a second set of eyes review it before sending. A quick check makes a big difference. At the end of the day, keep it simple and make it easy for someone understand your value.

Alexa Scalzi shared thisWomen leaders aren’t resisting AI; they’re helping define how it works alongside human judgment. Recent research from Chief and The Harris Poll highlights an important shift: - 80% of women leaders play active strategic roles in AI at their organizations. - 78% have their own criteria for deciding what stays human vs. what goes into AI. - 83% agree that being cautious about AI adoption is a sign of good leadership, not resistance. It’s a reminder that leadership isn’t about speed or jumping on trends. Instead, it's about being intentional and building systems that last. If you’re curious about AI in the workforce, this research is worth a read: https://lnkd.in/eJ-K2xjV

Alexa Scalzi shared thisWith spring here, I’ve been thinking about what this season is inviting us to do differently, especially when it comes to hiring and leadership. 🌷 Here are a few Spring Ins & Outs I'm seeing right now: OUT → Hibernating away from humans IN → Embracing social events that fill your cup OUT → Trying to control every step and outcome IN → Creating space for new ideas and different approaches OUT → Waiting for the “right time” to make a move IN → Being open to opportunity when it shows up OUT → Slow decision-making that causes great candidates to slip away IN → Timely, aligned hiring decisions that reflect real priorities OUT → Dark, moody colors IN → Bright patterns with a pop of personality

Alexa Scalzi shared thisBurnout doesn’t happen overnight. It builds over time: through workload, expectations, flexibility, and growth opportunities. The good news is these are all things leaders can actively shape. The teams that stay engaged tend to have a few things in common: • Workloads that are sustainable • Clear paths for growth • Flexibility where it matters • Managers who are present and supportive Small, intentional changes in these areas can make a meaningful difference, not just in retention, but in how people show up every day. Worth a read if this is something you’re thinking about: https://lnkd.in/ejZqGiCe

Alexa Scalzi shared thisApril Fools’ Day feels like a good time to call out one of the biggest career jokes I still hear… “Careers are supposed to follow a straight line.” Some of the strongest leaders I know took unexpected turns, changed industries, and stepped into roles they weren’t 100% ready for. Growth rarely looks linear. And the stops along the way are often where the most valuable experience comes from.
