Often, we place so much emphasis on the “first impression” that ongoing interactions are not considered with the importance they deserve. How will you build trust and credibility today? How can you lead with your natural strengths to inspire trust and confidence in others? Networking can...

Let’s Empower Girls to Find their Voices When they Are Young: It’s worthy of celebration when one finds their voice to ask for what they want or need….To include myself, it’s something I see grown (women) really struggle with often. To experience a young girl ask for what she wants….to give her plenty of space to find her words….as she repeatedly looks at a girlie necklace that didn’t get given away during the presentation…and to hear sweetly ASK if she could have it was such a GIFT…that I again woke up thinking about...

People have long stereotyped folks and put them in boxes. Whether they are too pretty, too overweight, too poor, or too ________, they make uneducated judgements based on a variety of influences: ignorance, misinformation, pop culture, or lack of education…and then (mis)treat them according to what they believe. Some people think that government or community assistance programs are for irresponsible people who just “need to get it together”. I’ve also heard people say that some folks simply “take...

Have you ever heard of “HALT”? (H)UNGRY (A)NGRY (L)ONELY (T)IRED. This was on my mind as I am preparing for 2 speaking engagements + 1 workshop this week and am planning out my self-care so I can maximize my efforts and minimize mis-steps. Anyhoo…the concept is to “HALT” if you are feeling or perceiving that you are hungry, angry, lonely or tired. If you are, HALT before: Taking a call, having a tough conversation, negotiating in business, replying to an email…and certainly before you hop on social media! After the pause,...

read more3 Miscarriages, 1 Surgery, and My Best Year Ever?
In the last 12 months I have had 3 miscarriages, 1 surgery, and recently I found out that I’m not pregnant with “Faith Edna”. I wondered why I was so exhausted and napped from 7-11 PM that evening, then consciously connected to why. At 44 years old, Kel and I had decided that December 2015 was our cut off month. That said, I remember when Mark Zuckerburg announce their miscarriage and I randomly saw a photo of him, his pregnant wife, and (adorable) dog several months ago. They were so excited and with my surgery, I thought –...
