Being part of the New Jersey Black Women's Collective Leadership Institute means preparation. It prepares us to be in rooms where deals are made, and changes happen, from the boardroom to the golf course. Today, I learned the game of golf and played on my first golf course. I can’t pretend. I didn’t think I would like it. I always thought it was boring. I was wrong. Golf is a game of strategy. It’s an art and science. You have to know what tool to use and when, how much force to put behind your swing, and when to pull back. It’s a game of navigating the terrain and aligning your body, position, and tools to meet your target. Similar to strategically aligning your business in the market. How do you show up? How are you aligned with your audience and their needs? What is your strategy for you to find them and for them to value you? Everything requires a strategy. I’m about to develop mine for golf.

Navigating divergent beliefs in today's divisive world is challenging. I encourage fellow association leaders to join me at ASAE's Executive Leadership Forum where outstanding speakers will explore conflict management, demographic trends, and civil discourse, and more. #ASAE

Closing a chapter on a leadership journey is never easy. It’s tough to step back after pouring so much passion, energy, and heart into something and to let others take the baton. Leadership isn’t just about the time spent or the goals achieved; it’s about the relationships built, the challenges faced, and the growth experienced along the way. While it’s hard to say goodbye to Engage Dallas, I’m grateful for every lesson learned and every person who has been part of this journey. Though this chapter is ending, the impact will continue to shape my path forward. Here’s to new beginnings and carrying the experiences with me into the next adventure. #Leadership #Community #EngageDallas #DallasTx #Leadership #Growth #NewBeginnings

To my fellow #womenentrepreneurs out there, this is an important tool in your toolbox. Leadership in business includes understanding the environment in which you operate - and I am not just talking about your corporate culture and environment. I am talking about the laws (policies) that govern how you can/will do business. Understanding how civics and, more specifically policy, affects your business is a #gamechanger. Especially when you learn how you can expand your influence over the policies and environment that impact your business. I highly recommend #ThePolicyCircle Civic Leadership Engagement Roadmap (CLER) program for any woman business owner or professional wanting to have greater impact and increase their sphere of influence. You won't be disappointed. #CLER #womenleaders #civicengagement

When board members open their homes for the school, they're not just hosting an event—they're making another form of personal investment in the mission they cherish. There’s a deep sense of fulfillment that comes from seeing their efforts and their hospitality directly contribute to the school’s success. It strengthens their connection to the school and its community, and reinforces their purpose as the institutions highest form of volunteer. When you do something meaningful for an organization you care about, it’s more than just duty—it’s a source of pride and personal joy. That’s the true reward of leadership. What have you asked your board members to do this fall?
