One of the greatest disservice one can do to themselves is surround themselves is to surround themselves with "yes" people. While no one is suggesting filling your inner circle with contrarians, Iya important to have people around you who are not afraid to "check" you if you need checking. Find you a truth teller. For some, that's a friend, colleague or mentor. For others that may look like hiring an Executive Coach who helps identify your blindspots and holds you accountable to your goals. However you get them, get someone who is not afraid to tell you the truth. Your leadership depends upon it.

“Black women have continued to make a way out of no way. And I have no doubt we will continue to do so.        3 things that we can continue to do: 1️⃣ Be angry & be CALCULATED 2️⃣ Remember there is strength in numbers – There are many more people in this world who want unity, fairness, #progress & opportunities for those who lack them. We can’t lose sight of our collective strength. 3️⃣ Rest up – This work is emotionally and psychologically draining, especially when you belong to a marginalized #community and realize what’s truly at stake. With that said, you are no good to anyone if you’re burned out and depleted. To all my DEI practitioners & passionate allies – WE CAN’T GIVE UP!” Regina Lawless, MSOD #InspiredByYou #OnRepeat & all comments on your thread highlighting a few here: “This ruling is a gut punch, but it's also a stark reminder of why our fight is far from over. Black women have always been the backbone, and despite the hurdles, we rise. Let's channel that frustration into calculated action, leveraging our collective #power and #creativity to keep pushing for #equity. And yes, rest is revolutionary. We can't pour from an empty cup. So, take your breaks, recharge, and come back stronger. You’ve been making miracles happen out of scraps for generations, and this is just another chapter in your story of resilience. Stay fierce, stay focused, and let's continue breaking these barriers.” Jeremy Merrell Williams “The reality is that the world is infinite, and all who advance, advance the total.” Doug Morrison “The winner will not be the courts in this case but those who believe that the Fearless Fund does not need to exist. The ability to thrive and be acknowledged for the many contributions in past and future nation building of women should activate advocacy responses from all and not just the DEI Practitioners.” Myneca Y. Ojo + “True #ambition, the kind that drives societal progress, is not about climbing the corporate ladder within the confines of existing structures. It's about questioning why the ladder exists in the first place and who it was built for. It's about building new platforms where ladders are obsolete, and everyone has the opportunity to rise based on merit, not privilege. The path forward requires more than just recognizing the contributions of women who challenge the #statusquo; it requires active support and #allyship from everyone, regardless of gender. It involves creating spaces where women's voices are heard, their ideas are valued, and their #leadership is not just tolerated but embraced.” Qiana Williams, ACC, SPHR repost here: https://lnkd.in/gECpM8Ud Do you recognize #talent is an asset class?

Great leadership and always client centric

Black women are the cornerstone of their families, communities and key drivers of our economy. Fearless Fund stepped up to invest in them, and this BS. Fearless Aisha Nyandoro sums it up in TIME: "Black women are among the most entrepreneurial demographics in the U.S., launching businesses at higher rates than other groups despite facing significant barriers. We create jobs, drive innovation, and contribute to economic growth; fostering a more inclusive and robust economy. Investing in Black women specifically is not just a moral imperative, but a strategic economic decision that benefits everyone." https://lnkd.in/g-7p892u
