Mirror Mirror in the Team…
You know, I used to think leadership was all about standing at the front, looking put together in a blazer, with a clipboard and a strong LinkedIn headline. You know — #BossEnergy kind of vibe.

Look in Unusual Places for Ideas
For years, I thought the best ideas came from “the experts” or the usual places books, conferences, the same trusted sources.

Compliment People in Front of Others
There’s something powerful about private encouragement but there’s something delightful about public praise.

Increase Your Passion
A few months ago, I hit a strange season in my life. Even though I was still showing up every day, still doing the work, still smiling on the outside but on the inside, I felt numb. Have you ever experienced such? The excitement I once had about something I loved doing was fading fast,… Continue reading Increase Your Passion
Instill Motivation
I’ll never forget the leader who saw something in me before I ever saw it in myself. She didn’t just give me tasks she gave me confidence. She didn’t just tell me I was doing well she reminded me I had what it takes. That experience taught me that, True leadership isn’t about pushing people.… Continue reading Instill Motivation
Resilient
What is one word that describes you? What can I say? One word to describe me? Ha! Just one? That’s like asking me to pick my favorite food when I clearly love eating half the African cuisine menu. But fine, if I had to sum myself up in one word, it would be “resilient.” You… Continue reading Resilient
