I spent part of my morning in production in-studio today. I spend approximately 30% of my time each week in production. About 95% is in my own little office studio. Today, I ventured out to the studio where my latest audiobook for Yes Please! 📗 was produced. (Shout out to the talented James Kline!) However, the goal is the same no matter where I shoot: churn content that…

…in that order. It is the order of the universe. Your story is your power. I’m still reflecting on the wonderful time that I had in Washington D.C. speaking to the next generation of C-Suite leaders about the hero in their leadership narrative: knowing your value. Speaking to a standing-room-only audience at The Executive Leadership Council Mid-level Manager’s Synopsis last month has impacted my community in incredible ways.…

They were shocked when I appeared on the Zoom because they expected to interface with “my people.” They were so excited and told me, “wow… you’re just… real.” I shared with them that it isn’t my intention to simply speak and get paid for it, but it was important to me to…
Although I spend the lion share of my time supporting extraordinary women leaders , from time to time, organizations ask me the inevitable: How should we be approaching DE&I now? And so I speak from the perspective, insights and voice of women and other marginalized groups and the allies who champion them because that is whom I’m listening to day after day—whether in coaching sessions, on the…
It’s always a blessing to share my message with leaders, but when that leader is a friend and former colleague it is extra special. This episode of 💎Deneen L. Garrett, M.S.💎 ‘s podcast is called Relationships Based on Excellence, and while that describes how we know each other, it also answers a very insightful question that she asked me about how I consistently wind up in rooms with…

Excited to speak to the Board Members of @blackgirlsincyber this evening. The ladies received a special delivery to their doorsteps a few weeks back which included my book No Thanks: 7 Ways to Say I’ll Just Include Myself, The Remix. It arrived in time for our conversation about Knowing Your Value tonight. Knowing one’s value is so crucial for women in tech, but especially for Black women in…
“The heroine in the book is knowing your value.” I have lost count of the many times that I’ve uttered those words since 2020 when I released the first edition of No Thanks: 7 Ways to Say I’ll Just Include Myself. Soon, I’ll be sharing this in person with the leaders at Denny’s. By the way: “The villain in the book is fear.” We’ll unravel the important…
