Professional societies have played important roles in various industries. They have been a critical force that set up best practices, standards, or certifications. In today’s ever changing environment, the professional societies remain critical but may need to adopt different approaches with different focuses. We witness some of them grow while some of them disappear. One thing for sure, the need for everyone to identify the best way to advance one’s career remains important as ever.
In this episode, we are going to highlight SIM, the Society of Information Management, which created the place for IT professionals to gather and exchange information. As Todd and Daidre pointed out it is a great network platform to help individuals to advance their career and do something good for the community at the same time. As Information Management, or Technology, exists in so many industries that creating a standard doesn’t seem to be the top priority for SIM, but creating the best leaders for sure to be one.
Todd and Daidre also pointed out, because of the focus on leadership development, SIM is finding ways to help disadvantaged groups, such as female professionals, to advance their career. Take listen and it may turn a few lightbulbs on how to reach out to find the mentors that could change your life.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
