not long after I moved to Chicago in 1999 as a 4<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0year associate at a large law firm, I met Revie Sorie, a former All-Pro offensive lineman with the Chicago Bears who was working with Special Olympics Chicago (\u201cSOC\u201d) at the time.\u00a0 Revie asked me to serve on a board that planned and organized a fundraising event for SOC, which I did for several years; I then followed him when he left SOC to join Ada S. McKinley (\u201cASM\u201d), an incredible organization in Chicago where he was leading the Educational Services Division; once at ASM, Revie continue and expanded the organization\u2019s longstanding efforts to help make college a reality for students on the West and South Sides of Chicago.\u00a0 I learned so much from Revie about leadership and connecting with people on a genuine level than if I had taken a leadership development course.\u00a0 More importantly, I saw how everybody can make a difference no matter your background or your station in life.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, I have been fortunate to connect on a personal level with one of our clients\u2014Travonte Warren\u2014with whom I have had thought provoking and far-ranging conversations on a regular basis throughout the pandemic that helped keep me sane during some of the most challenging periods of the pandemic.\u00a0 Although Travonte is a good bit younger than me and is a relatively recent law school grad (compared to me, at least), he is without question one of the brightest, most thoughtful and witty people I have ever met\u2014indeed, while some might think I would be in a position to mentor him, his perspectives and insights have helped me become a better lawyer to my clients and a better manager to our associates.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/employerdefensereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Untitled-2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5523 alignleft jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/employerdefensereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Untitled-2.jpg?resize=156%2C160&amp;ssl=1\" sizes=\"(max-width: 156px) 100vw, 156px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/employerdefensereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Untitled-2.jpg?w=259&amp;ssl=1 259w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/employerdefensereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Untitled-2.jpg?resize=214%2C220&amp;ssl=1 214w\" alt=\"\" width=\"156\" height=\"160\" data-attachment-id=\"5523\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/employerdefensereport.com\/2022\/02\/28\/celebrating-black-history-month\/untitled-2\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/employerdefensereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Untitled-2.jpg?fit=259%2C266&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"259,266\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Untitled-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/employerdefensereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Untitled-2.jpg?fit=259%2C266&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/employerdefensereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Untitled-2.jpg?fit=259%2C266&amp;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.connmaciel.com\/gelb\">Aaron R.
