About the book: “The Queen of Sugar Hill” tells the story of Hattie McDaniel, the first African American woman to win an Academy Award, focusing on her life after her Oscar win for “Gone With the Wind” and the challenges she faced as a Black actress navigating Hollywood’s challenging social landscape, particularly highlighting her struggles with restrictive housing covenants in a neighborhood called “Sugar Hill” where she bought a home despite facing backlash from white neighbors; the book explores her personal life, friendships with other Hollywood figures, and her fight for racial equality.

Power of Reset and How to Change What’s Not Working: a Virtual Talk with Author Dan Heath
2025-03-12 14:00 - 15:00
Are you ready for a revolutionary guide to fixing what’s not working in your life? Changing how we work can feel overwhelming. It can feel like trying to budge an enormous boulder and cause us to lack the energy to shift direction.

In Dan Heath’s new book, “Reset: How to Change What’s Not Working”, he explores a framework for getting unstuck and making the changes that matter. The secret is to find “leverage points”: places where a little bit of effort can yield a disproportionate return. Then, we can thoughtfully rearrange our resources to push on those points and make that change we’ve been looking for!
