As we approach a Mental Health Awareness Month in

As we approach a Mental Health Awareness Month in May, I invite you to consider booking me as a speaker for your conferences and meetings. My latest book, Yes Please! 7 Ways to Say I’m Entitled to the C-Suite centers on the power of positive emotion to move you through some of life and leadership’s toughest challenges to be more successful.

I still have a few slots available for engagements. I specialize in working with professional organizations, Fortune 500 companies, and employee resource groups, trusted by the elite, executive leaders in the Fortune 100 and across industries, even higher ed, healthcare, media, sports and entertainment. This month, the topics I am sharing include:

- “The Power of Positive Emotion to Lead Better”
- “Regain Your Peace and Productivity in the Midst of Change”
- “Happy Anyway: Learning to Dance in the Rain”

I am also open to tailoring my message to align with your organization’s themes and goals.

I’m carving out a space at the intersection of science + culture as the only black woman author in the business/leadership category creating books and leadership strategies tailored for high-performing leaders that incorporates neuroscience and positive psychology and culturally-nuanced storytelling and insights. It’s important to me to bring the evidence-based strategies to the conversation and not simply recommendations based on my experience or that of others.

It’s also important to me to be able to “walk the talk.” It isn’t enough to write and speak about it; it’s crucial for me to “be about it,” which I do each day in my international executive coaching and consulting practice. We stay on the pulse of what leaders, especially women leaders and those of color need and want right now in their lives and leadership journeys to whether unprecedented change... along with the behavioral and mind shifts they need to make to reach their goals.

If you are looking for a dynamic speaker, virtual or in person, who can empower your leaders and perhaps even leave them humming a hip hop tune when it’s over, I encourage you to connect with me to discuss and book your event.

In 2019, I did what many corporate types would call “the unthinkable.”

I walked away from opportunities at a Fortune 10 after being “surplussed” without a job lined up. Sure, I had opportunities externally. Yes, I had a seedling of a business that I had started, but I wanted to take the time to think through my next step methodically.

I had a mission that only a few were aware of, and that drove me to seek out the one thing that I needed to activate it.

Could I do it and remain in corporate?

I had interested organizations telling me that I could do both-pursue my calling to author books and speak across the country and internationally and work for them.

But I knew that would eventually cause friction. I’d lived it already.

That one piece was missing that would activate my mission, and a scroll through Instagram and an ad from a longtime sister friend and former client would ultimately become the the gateway to my destiny.

I let that sisterfriend turn the tables on me this week, and I thought it would be great to finally share my story: how I went from there...to here, five years later with a thriving, global executive and personal coaching and consulting practice, a publishing journey that has been extraordinary and the speaker tour that began in 2015 and has yet to end.

What took me from a 25+ year-long career in strategic communication, agency side, agency owner, and client side to here?

I pass Valorie Burton, the mic on my show, The Culture Soup Podcast ® as she featured me in her global preview call for The Coaching and Positive Psychology (CaPP) Institute. That is where I earned my certification that would tee me up for credentialing at the world’s most respected coaching organizations, International Coaching Federation. I began with her Coach Training Intensive (CTI).
My pen as my sword, my speaking as my munitions, evidence-based coaching, I discovered, would ultimately become my armor.

Join me and Val for this inspiring and powerful conversation about what it actually takes to take on coaching as a profession in this special, extended video edition of The Culture Soup Podcast ® brought to you in part by The CaPP Institute. #podcasts

At the heart of my practice are tech leaders, but

At the heart of my practice are tech leaders, but you're probably learning that even if you aren't in a traditionally tech business, there is increased pressure to become more tech savvy as many organizations embark on digital transformation.

As we charge ahead into the digital age, one thing is abundantly clear: digital literacy has become an indispensable skill for leaders across all industries. In 2024, amidst the rapid pace of technological advancement and digital transformation, the ability to harness technology effectively is not just an advantage—it's a necessity for thriving in today's competitive landscape.

Research from Gartner indicates that several technologies are at the forefront of driving business innovation and transformation in 2024. These include:

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI-powered solutions are revolutionizing business operations, from predictive analytics to process automation, enabling leaders to make data-driven decisions and drive efficiency.

2. Internet of Things (IoT): With the proliferation of connected devices, leaders can leverage IoT technology to optimize processes, enhance customer experiences, and unlock new revenue streams.

3. Blockchain: Blockchain technology offers unprecedented opportunities for enhancing security, transparency, and trust in business transactions, making it a valuable tool for leaders in various sectors.

4. Cloud Computing: Cloud-based solutions empower leaders to scale their operations rapidly, improve collaboration, and access critical data and applications from anywhere, fostering agility and innovation.

In this digital landscape, leaders who possess strong digital literacy skills are better equipped to harness these technologies to drive growth, innovation, and competitive advantage for their organizations. From understanding the potential of AI and IoT to leveraging data analytics for informed decision-making, digital-savvy leaders are poised to lead their teams to success in 2024 and beyond.

Sponsorship can come from any level at anytime in

Sponsorship can come from any level at anytime in rooms you may not even know exist.

Just be excellent.

And if you’re more junior and you’d like to sponsor someone, it works best when you’re excellent too. Then they will know you know what you’re talking about. 😉
