2024 Annual Public Policy Forum, December 4, 2024 REGISTER

On this past weekend’s “Minding Your Business” on News 12+, Peace in Action Professors Founders Gerri Budd and Donnalynn Scillieri talked with host Bob Considine about their unique 2021 startup and how it’s helping businesses and municipalities establish more inclusive and mentally healthier environments through empathy and understanding.

“With our background in education, one of the strengths we bring to the trainings and the professional development, we are used to rooms full of people who don’t want to be there,” Budd said with a laugh. “We are used to making things a little bit more accessible, a little bit more fun than they would be in a mandatory corporate training session.”

“The first thing we do is explain that nobody is intentionally incorrect of saying the wrong thing,” Scillieri said. “We just talk about the history of how did we get here and how do we do better?”

NJBIA’s “Minding Your Business” is a weekly TV show, and winner of two 2023 Telly Awards, that airs on News 12+ at 9:30 a.m. every Saturday and Sunday, as well as 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.
