Before We Close the Doors on Teacher Appreciation Month...

With Memorial Day weekend behind us, it is beginning to feel like it is officially summer. It is time for schools to close their doors and teachers to take their well earned summer vacation. With smith & beta’s teacher appreciation month coming to a close, we would like to acknowledge one more incredible educator before officially closing the doors on May; Eddie Revis.

Eddie Revis is one of smith & beta's most sought after teachers with an instructor rating of 98%. He is the former Executive Strategy Director at COLLINS, and Director of Strategy and Innovation at Essence. Eddie leads North American teams working with major clients such as Google, Method, Viber, Sam Edelman, Chase, UPS and Youtube.

Last week Eddie taught a workshop called Presentation Therapy: The Next Level in New York City. In this workshop students learn how to increase communication effectiveness, manage stress, strengthen interpersonal relationships, and tactfully handle road bumps that arise with clients and internal teams. They gain tools to become a more focused, persuasive communicator, and feel more confident selling ideas, driving decision making, and navigating difficult conversations. As always Eddie was hailed for the energy he brought to the class as well as his expertise.

The smith & beta Climate Pledge

Storms can bring out the best in us. How can we act to be a more earth conscious company?

Open to AI

Yes, we’re bombarded with information and filter what’s true, relevant, and meaningful, but just when we think we have it figured out, the questions shift. A topic that seems critical to know is artificial intelligence (AI). It feels familiar, doesn’t it?

In today’s fast-moving world, it can feel like everything is moving too quickly. With so many digital tools at our disposal, we often wonder: Are these tools really making us faster, or just more overwhelmed? Can we keep up with the speed of modern life while still finding time to reflect, create, and connect?

Back to School

At smith & beta, we believe that the joys and challenges of childhood learning can and should continue in our daily work. By fostering a learning culture, we ensure that tackling new developments—like artificial intelligence, equity, and digital communication tools—is met with the confidence that comes from knowledge and mastery.
