Insider Reveals His Urgent Plan for Auston Matthews' Injury RehabEACH December, lines of a song keep coming back to me: “And so this is Christmas and what have you done? Another year over, a new one’s just begun.” Beyond the “year-that-was” accomplishment reports for businesses or chatty missives to family and friends, Christmases present us with an opportunity to take stock, perhaps in the quiet of the evening as one watches the blinking Christmas lights or in the crispness of the morning as the city gradually awakes. Enter the book, Brick by Brick: Building the Change You Want by a young professional of deep insight, Myke Santos. First on Myke. I first met him as a shy little boy who would quietly observe us adults conversing. His Mom was a dear friend with a vibrant presence, and his Uncle is my BFF (Best Friends Forever) with a passion for writing, stage, and the arts. It is a joy to see that Myke is now a: strategy and HR consultant, certified coach for Transformative Coaching and The Leadership Circle, and certified facilitator of the Lego: Serious Play Method that he pioneered in the Philippines; university faculty member, and founder of Brick Consulting. It turned out to be a natural progression for him to write a book. AS THE YEAR WINDS DOWN I chose to write about this in this column as PR and communication activities wind down these holidays, replaced by family and friend reunions, the reunions being chicken soup for the soul, borrowing from another book’s title. These present a bit of a respite before we begin 2025. Optimism usually characterizes the start of a new year, as it offers a fresh start. We want all to have a better self, better opportunities, and less, or best, none of the grating or incessant difficulties that douse cold water on our dreams and plans. And then, there is change. Myke’s take on change: “CHANGE doesn’t happen overnight, we must build it brick by brick.” This is something we instinctively know, but still, because of the twists and turns it takes to change, it becomes something that we wish we could just do in a quick reboot. It could be an exciting and happy change as in a promotion, or a challenging one as in an issue and crisis management situation. He clarifies: “This is not a book about changing careers or making the great leap to entrepreneurship, though you could use it that way. This book is meant for anyone feeling disoriented and out of sorts about change, and wanting to embrace and shape change rather than being a hapless victim or bystander of it.” “It is about changing the way we look at change to be more purposeful about how we create and manage it, no matter how challenging it can be.” THE EVOLVING WORKPLACE HE recalls feeling disoriented upon reporting back to work here at the mother company after a two-year regional assignment. “Suddenly I felt out of place,” he wrote, adding, “I felt this strange sense of unfamiliarity. As if the company I had been a part of for the past 10 years had changed so drastically without me...this experience of change disrupted not only my career trajectory, but also my peace of mind and sense of self.” Discomfort, he recalled, led him to three options: Either “Don’t rock the boat.” or “Fight fire with fire.” or “Build the change I wanted.” He chose to build the change he wanted because, “change is thrust upon us and awaits our response,” and that in his case, it was adjusting from the corporate ways he had become used to, to becoming an independent consultant and entrepreneur with many hats and functions. He cites one earlier brick, lifetime employment, deemed the foundation for a good life, and how this has evolved into the brick of lifelong learning. “All around us, we have seen other new bricks slowly replacing old bricks, such as the pursuit of purpose and meaning instead of climbing the corporate ladder; working anywhere and anytime...putting a premium on health and well-being instead of keeping your professional and personal selves completely separate; failing fast and learning instead of putting a premium on strict compliance and punishing experimentation.” He goes on to identify new bricks like “the power of influence in a digital world, human-centric design, open and authentic leadership, diverse and inclusive cultures.” 5 NEW BRICKS And thus, the book and the action and advocacy he espouses, and these five bricks to change, “new bricks for a new world:” 1. “INTENTION— Beyond setting goals and listing resolutions, think about your INTENTIONS for next year, whether it is a small intention of making better decisions day-to-day, meeting a major milestone, or simply being more aware and mindful of what is important for you. How you would define a ‘better’ year for you whether in your personal life or as a PR and communications practitioner in your field and organization.” ACTION: Articulate your intention. 2. “IDENTITY— To embark on change, one must remember that you are not starting from zero. Who you are and what got you to where you are today are all capabilities that will help bring you forward. In PR and communication what skills and experiences can you leverage on? What message does your organization convey in terms of who you are and what you stand for?” ACTION: Revisit your identity. 3. “FOCUSED ACTION— Between your INTENTION and IDENTITY are deliberate, tiny steps that will get you to where you are going. In this age where there is a lot of COMMUNICATION NOISE, what is important is to develop a sense of FOCUS and then work towards it even if every slowly. ACTION without FOCUS is a busyness. FOCUS without action is a distraction.” ACTION: Identify what focused action you can take. 4. “CONNECTION— As we take focused actions towards our intentions, we will impact others just as others impact us. CONNECTION means ensuring that we meet our audiences where they are and connect with them to get feedback – whether positive or negative – for us to RESPOND and ADAPT while constantly engaging with those that matter to us.” ACTION: Engage with those who matter. 5. “PLAY— As children we are ever curious, immensely creative, and always learning new things. In our professional world where business models, technology, and ways of working are constantly in flux, instead of facing change with fear or the need to control, we can maintain a mindset of play by being curious about what change can mean for us and what it is nudging us to do. Whether it is learning more about disruptive technologies i.e., AI in our field to understand rather than to hide from it or being open to industry/social media trends that helps us anticipate change and become more resilient as people and professionals.” ACTION: Step back, recharge, refocus and get into the mindset of play to treat yourself with compassion and humor. REINVENTING, REBUILDING I end this column with Myke’s words: “I invite you to reflect on the current bricks that you may have built your identity, your relationships, and your work around; the subtle or overwhelming change that you may be experiencing today; and what new bricks you may need to reinvent or rebuild to generate positive change in your life. Change in our lives is constant, but so too is our capability to imagine, respond, and create...a new world awaits!” Myke’s insightful, inspiring book, Brick by Brick: Building the Change You Want, is available at Fully Booked branches.

Stocks closed higher on Wall Street as the market posted its fifth straight gain and the Dow Jones Industrial Average notched another record high. The S&P 500 rose 0.3%. The benchmark index’s 1.7% gain for the week erased most of its loss from last week. The Dow rose 1% as it nudged past its most recent high set last week, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.2%. Markets have been volatile over the last few weeks, losing ground in the runup to elections in November, then surging following Donald Trump's victory, before falling again. The S&P 500 has been steadily rising throughout this week to within close range of its record. It's now within about 0.5% of its all-time high set last week. “Overall, market behavior has normalized following an intense few weeks,” said Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide, in a statement. Several retailers jumped after giving Wall Street encouraging financial updates. Gap soared 12.8% after handily beating analysts' third-quarter earnings and revenue expectations, while raising its own revenue forecast for the year. Discount retailer Ross Stores rose 2.2% after raising its earnings forecast for the year. EchoStar fell 2.8% after DirecTV called off its purchase of that company's Dish Network unit. Smaller company stocks had some of the biggest gains. The Russell 2000 index rose 1.8%. A majority of stocks in the S&P 500 gained ground, but those gains were kept in check by slumps for several big technology companies. Nvidia fell 3.2%. Its pricey valuation makes it among the heaviest influences on whether the broader market gains or loses ground. The company has grown into a nearly $3.6 trillion behemoth because of demand for its chips used in artificial-intelligence technology. Intuit, which makes TurboTax and other accounting software, fell 5.7%. It gave investors a quarterly earnings forecast that fell short of analysts’ expectations. Facebook owner Meta Platforms fell 0.7% following a decision by the Supreme Court to allow a multibillion-dollar class action investors’ lawsuit to proceed against the company. It stems from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm. All told, the S&P 500 rose 20.63 points to 5,969.34. The Dow climbed 426.16 points to 44,296.51, and the Nasdaq picked up 42.65 points to close at 2,406.67. European markets closed mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Crude oil prices rose. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.41% from 4.42% late Thursday. In the crypto market, bitcoin hovered around $99,000, according to CoinDesk. It has more than doubled this year and first surpassed the $99,000 level on Thursday. Retailers remained a big focus for investors this week amid close scrutiny on consumer spending habits headed into the holiday shopping season. Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, reported a quarter of strong sales and gave investors an encouraging financial forecast. Target, though, reported weaker earnings than analysts' expected and its forecast disappointed Wall Street. Consumer spending has fueled economic growth, despite a persistent squeeze from inflation and high borrowing costs. Inflation has been easing and the Federal Reserve has started trimming its benchmark interest rates. That is likely to help relieve pressure on consumers, but any major shift in spending could prompt the Fed to reassess its path ahead on interest rates. Also, any big reversals on the rate of inflation could curtail spending. Consumer sentiment remains strong, according to the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index. It revised its latest figure for November to 71.8 from an initial reading of 73 earlier this month, though economists expected a slight increase. It's still up from 70.5 in October. The survey also showed that consumers' inflation expectations for the year ahead fell slightly to 2.6%, which is the lowest reading since December of 2020. Wall Street will get another update on how consumers feel when the business group The Conference Board releases its monthly consumer confidence survey on Tuesday. A key inflation update will come on Wednesday when the U.S. releases its October personal consumption expenditures index. The PCE is the Fed's preferred measure of inflation and this will be the last PCE reading prior to the central bank's meeting in December.There are times when a postseason bowl seems like the first game of next year for the participating teams. That cliche means something a little different for NC State and East Carolina. The Wolfpack and Pirates face each other in the Military Bowl on Saturday in Annapolis, Maryland. Then they'll see each other again in about eight months. NC State opens the 2025 season at home against ECU on Aug. 30. There is certainly plenty of familiarity between these two programs, even though NC State (6-6) is in the ACC and East Carolina (7-5) is in the AAC. The teams — located about 80 miles apart — have met 32 times, most recently in 2022 when the Wolfpack won 21-20. From 1970-87, these teams played each other every year. Since 2004, they haven't gone more than two consecutive seasons without meeting. “Hour and a half down the road and you're playing — whether you play every year or don't play every year — I think it's still a rivalry," East Carolina coach Blake Harrell said. "Our fans still get excited. They still think that's a rivalry. Our players still think that's a rivalry.” People are also reading... NC State leads the series 19-13 and has won three straight — but East Carolina won three in a row before that. “It's weird playing a team that we open with next year,” Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren said. “We don't play them that much. We play them every three years, so it's really a roster turnover. Every time we see them, it's a different ballclub for the most part. But yeah, finishing with who you open with is unique.” NC State and East Carolina met in the Peach Bowl in 1992 — during an eight-year hiatus in their regular-season series. ECU scored three touchdowns in the final 7:26 to win 37-34. “We had that time during COVID, we obviously all had some down time. I remember searching through YouTube, just past games to check out. That game did pop up," Harrell said. "That was a special moment for that team and that program at the time, and this could be a special moment for this team and this program.” NC State is playing in the Military Bowl for the first time. East Carolina was supposed to participate in 2021, but the game was canceled. The Pirates lost to Maryland in the 2010 edition. Harrell took over on an interim basis in the middle of the season when Mike Houston was fired. After leading the Pirates to four straight wins, Harrell had the interim tag removed . Freshman CJ Bailey took over at quarterback for NC State this season after concussion problems ended Grayson McCall's career. Bailey has completed 64.1% of his passes. Only Philip Rivers and Russell Wilson threw for more touchdowns as a freshman for the Wolfpack than Bailey, who has 14 TD tosses. “He's a really good player. Doesn't play like a freshman to me,” Harrell said. "Makes really good throws down the field, has a really good arm, and then if he takes off scrambling or if the quarterback-designed run game, he's a long strider. He can eat up some ground. Nobody ever catches him." Get local news delivered to your inbox!

This expansion adds to Hitachi Rail’s growing presence in Canada that includes around 1,200 employees across the country, who are delivering and maintaining major transit projects in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Ottawa. Toronto is home to the company’s international urban transit signalling technology business, as well as large program teams based downtown and Mississauga that are delivering major new transit infrastructure, like the Ontario Line and Hurontario. “Under the leadership of Premier Ford, our government is investing $70 billion in the largest transit expansion in North America, connecting millions more Ontarians to reliable and affordable public transit. Today's announcement means Hitachi Rail will be helping even more workers gain the critical expertise needed to deliver Ontario's generational projects,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation . “Hitachi Rail’s investment is a testament to Ontario’s strengths in future technologies that are transforming industries from manufacturing to transportation. We are excited to support the company in advancing a made-in-Ontario technology that keeps cities around the world on the move,” said Jennifer Block, Interim CEO of Invest Ontario .
