I was privileged to join the The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's distinguished speaker series as a part of their #BlackHistoryMonth gathering hosted by the Goodyear Black Network. The discussion was moderated by my former colleague and friend, senior vice president and chief communications officer, Laura Duda. Though we’re not related, it was also wonderful getting to meet and hear from RaJohn Butler.
Throughout the dynamic conversation we discussed how individuals can, regardless of their roles, work to advance a more diverse and inclusive workplace. I shared that one of the simplest but most effective ways we can do to advance DEI in the workplace is to take the time to get to know our coworkers. When we welcome the opportunity to connect, not only can our outlooks change but so can our outputs. At all levels of business, having a mindset of inclusivity and being able to embrace diverse voices and perspectives is critical. Advancing the DEI work we do here at Exelon through every level of our business plays a critical role in our ability to deliver safe, reliable, and equitable energy to our communities.
Although Black History Month provides a chance to delve into subjects that benefit the Black community through meaningful discussions, DEI remains significant to our business year-round. For us, it’s a core value and not just a business strategy. We need to reflect the communities that we serve, not only in our entry-level teams but at the executive-level as well. We’re clear that anyone who works for Exelon is required to demonstrate these values, and it’s my job to be a model of that behavior. That means standing up for the values we represent and staying true to them despite ever shifting climate around us.
Thank you again to the Goodyear Black Network for inviting me to join this discussion. I’m honored to have been a part of this series.
Today, the Goodyear Black Network hosted a great conversation with President and CEO of Exelon Calvin Butler, moderated by GBN Executive Sponsor Laura Duda.
Our final Black History Month signature event was a lively and engaging discussion that reflects Goodyear’s commitment to an inclusive culture where diverse perspectives are valued.
Thank you, Calvin, for sharing your unique career journey and insights on leadership and development, as well as many other topics that matter to our associates. You are an inspiration to #TeamGoodyear!
👉 3 Leadership Lessons I learned from Georgia Institute of Technology Head Football 🏈 Brent Key:
✅ Authenticity is magnetic and inspiring 💡. Coach Key’s genuine empathy and passion for his team and organization shines 🌟 through and encourages others to follow his lead.
✅ Relationships 👯 are critical to advancement. Coach Key’s strong relationships with his athletes, staff, and mentors, that he cultivated by listening 👂 and building strong connections, are keys to his success.
✅ Mistakes are opportunities for growth 📈. Coach Key admits and finds opportunities to grow and improve from all his mistakes, but at the same time, he intentionally shuts out the negativity 🛑 that can thwart growth by staying clear of social media.
✅ Thanks Atlanta Intown Georgia Tech Network, Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business, and Georgia Tech Athletic Association for hosting such a fun event 🥂.
i’m proud to serve on the board of directors for TOGETHER! where we’re committed to systems change at every level.
nonprofit executive roles are untenable and unsustainable. it’s why turnover is HIGH, and the ability to retain great leaders is RARE.
board governance can be a tool to liberate leaders, OR it can be a weight around your neck as you try to swim laps in the deep end.
personally, i choose liberation. otherwise, what are we even doing?!

VP Strategic Partnerships at Great West Casualty | Insurance Agent, Fleet Management Expert
Each year, Great West Casualty Company brings together insightful speakers for our Leadership Symposium. We enjoyed keynote speakers Lt. Colonel Dan Rooney and former NFL football player Justin Forsett, as well as a slew of industry experts who shared industry insights on current and future challenges.
The event is more than knowledge sharing; it’s also about connecting and deepening relationships with current and prospective customers, our agency partners, and other industry supporters.
