…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.…
Interesting interaction with a major manufacturer in aerospace as they were inquiring about a speaking engagement. 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?

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…
It may seem like an insignificant thing to cross off a list, but I always wanted to go off-roading. I also wanted to ride on an ATV. Recently, I was able to make both happen. I even crossed an ocean to do it, but it wasn’t because I sat back and waited and remained in dream mode.. Isn’t it time you addressed that thing you want to get…
When you think about it, you didn’t come up with that notion at work. It’s a part of corporate culture. In fact, the word corporate means “one body,” so it only makes sense that it has been ingrained in you that being a standout is ultimately frowned upon. Shining is a no go, right? What a direct conflict to the word leadership. Recently, my client work has uncovered…
