Female protagonists have quickly become the popular focal point of nearly every type of entertainment medium, from books to movies and television shows. Actress Reese Witherspoon is no stranger to this trend, having starred as the female lead in several hit movies and shows. But when she started her monthly book club and her production company Hello Sunshine, she had no idea how much of an impact the two would make on female representation in media. Already voted one of the top 50 most innovative companies of 2020 (by FastCompany.com), Hello Sunshine has become a uniquely powerful engine for women’s perspective in the entertainment world. It most recently produced “Big Little Lies” for HBO, “Little Fires Everywhere” for Hulu, and has forthcoming shows and films like “Daisy Jones & the Six” and “Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine.” If there’s something that rings a bell about those titles, it’s most likely because each of them started as a bestselling book. But before they rose through the ranks, they were chosen to be featured in Reese Witherspoon’s book club precisely because they were written by female authors and followed feature female protagonists. Hello Sunshine is a production company on a mission to give a louder and stronger voice to the women of the entertainment industry. Nearly all the books Witherspoon’s club chooses to read go on to become New York Times bestsellers, then Hello Sunshine gets to work on adapting them into critically acclaimed stories for the screen. That way, these worthwhile female minds and creations get the broad attention they deserve — especially in an industry that has traditionally reserved the spotlight for its male members. Hello Sunshine has forged partnerships with major publishing houses and is even launching children’s and animation divisions this year. As long as women have powerful stories to tell, Hello Sunshine will find a way to get people to listen. HIGHLIGHTING POWERFUL VOICES Hello Sunshine Has a Story to Tell
The world of business has long been steeped in certain traditions and expectations, but more and more businesses are now relying on innovation, creativity, and passion to keep them aiming for the stratosphere. The key is to attract and retain talented people who have these specific qualities; but, if people aren’t given ample opportunities to speak their minds, what good can they do? Amy C. Edmondson’s book “The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth” answers that question. It offers guidance for organizations to end the traditional work culture of “fitting in” and “going along” and, instead, fosters a way for new ideas, challenges, and critical thoughts to thrive. Edmondson is a scholar of leadership, teaming, and organizational learning who currently serves as the Novartis Professor of Leadership at Harvard Business School. She’s published multiple bestselling books on team building, organization, and innovation. “The Fearless Organization” has helped hundreds of teams to stop suppressing their members and instead encourage them to creatively flesh out their ideas. This book explores the culture of psychological safety through scenario- based explanations that provide a clear path for learning and innovation. It stresses the importance of creating a culture where it’s “safe” to express ideas, ask questions, and admit mistakes, and it shows how doing so can bring an organization to unfathomable success.
