While technology has brought about numerous advances, a disadvantage is the limited brain use required to complete some tasks. It was noted that our average attention span is now 12 seconds - that of a gold fish. Not only has the age of technological advancement diminished brain, but it has also lessened our awareness of others and our surroundings.
Mrs. Diane Phillips is the Founder and President of Diane Phillips & Associates. Mrs. Phillips is active in several professional, charitable, and civic organizations. She serves on two boards appointed by the Prime Minister, the former Nassau Economic Development Commission and the Ministry of Finance Special Projects Committee for Historic Properties.
Known for her involvement with Save the Bays, the fastest growing non-governmental organization (NGO) in the Bahamas, Mrs. Phillips highlighted her road to success: funding, forging a strong team, commitment, and the use of resources. She also found producing a progress report necessary as she would make her and her team aware of their strengths and weaknesses.
An advocate for awareness, Mrs. Phillips encouraged the Sunrisers to make themselves aware of the need, find the cause, garner a team to satisfy that need, present themselves professionally, and utilize as many resources as possible.
