Paul Edwards “HR is so much more than creating policy and following laws,” says Paul Edwards (“Seek Out the Sequencers”), the CEO and co-founder of on-demand human resources advisor CEDR Solutions. “Many employers don’t realize that the path to a better future—both professionally and as an employer—is created with a team of fellow professionals who are your most important assets. If you’re going to be an effective long-term leader, firing people is not the part of HR that inspires. There is so much more!”

Ken Baker “The most important thing someone can do in preparation for a photo shoot is pay attention to wardrobe,” says Kent Barker, who has photographed executives and creatives for publications like Rolling Stone, Travel + Leisure and Wired. “What you wear says so much about you, so be sure that what you wear aligns with your ‘brand’—and bring a number of options that fit you well and compliment you.” Barker, who photographed Dr. Leif Stromberg for this month’s cover, says his most memorable photo assignment was a series of black-and-white portraits of rural Texas sheriffs for Texas Monthly.

 Jonelle Anamelechi “My practice receives calls all the time from families who think or were told their child needs sedation for treatment,” says pediatric dentist Dr. Jonelle Anamelechi. “But pharmaceutical methods of patient behavior management always carry a risk.” In her article “Navigating New Guidelines,” Anamelechi explains what general dentists should take away from the recently updated American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry guidelines, which focus on strategies that aren’t medication-based. “Pharmacological aids may still play a vital role in pediatric dentistry,” she says, “but the decision to use them should be individualized, considering the child’s physical and emotional health.”
