"Stewardship over profit. In every business decision, let’s champion the stewardship of resources, fair treatment of employees, and adherence to ethical practices. It’s not just about profit; it’s about fostering a legacy of integrity and respect. Wealth gained from deceit is fleeting, but righteousness builds a foundation that endures." Let us remember that what we cultivate goes beyond today's gains — it shapes the moral fabric of our future. 🙏 #EthicalBusiness #ChristianLeadership

"Gen-X Will Save America" As Generation X reaches the pinnacle of leadership in corporations and the political world, we find ourselves at a crucial crossroads. Born in a time of skepticism and grunge-fueled rebellion, we harbor a deep mistrust of institutions, forged in the fires of the late 20th century. Our patriotism is rooted not in blind allegiance, but in a fierce love for freedom and personal responsibility. This strong nationalism will serve as a bulwark against the creeping tide of socialist ideals, which appeal to the younger, more idealistic generation lacking the hard-earned cynicism Gen-X carries. Having grown up in a world before social media, we are a bridge between the analog past and the digital future, uniquely positioned to lead. Our experiences have taught us to value independence over reliance on government, pragmatism over idealism. As we assume more leadership roles, in both the boardroom and in Congress, Gen-X’s sense of duty, grit, and realism will steer America back towards strength and self-reliance, outshining the ideological trends of today’s youth. #GenXLeadership #StrengthThroughIndependence

Excited to share the second installment of our 5 Years of Impact series! In honor of July 4th, and the many ways entrepreneurship can create economic freedom, we are highlighting a partnership with the Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce, National Urban League, The ODP Corporation, and The U. S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce that "address[es] systemic discrimination and historical racial disparities in business growth and profitability in Black and Hispanic communities." In November 2023, C-Suite Equity Consulting was honored to be one of the inaugural recipients of this grant in celebration of our work in equitable development, use of social determinants of health principles to increase overall health & wellness, and dedication to drive positive change in urban centers. We were awarded a monetary grant, matched with a business mentor, and invited to join the ODP Supplier Diversity Network to gain the additional support and exposure necessary to continue to serve as the nexus where innovation meets impact. We were honored to be one of the inaugural grant recipients in Dallas and are thrilled to share the grant program is now accepting application for its second round of grant awards through July 5th!

Within the intricate tapestry of business, amidst the flurry of strategies and bottom lines, lies a profound truth: the heart of any successful venture beats within its people. Zig Ziglar's wisdom reminds us that businesses aren't mere structures of steel and glass; they are vibrant communities of individuals, each with unique talents, dreams, and aspirations. By prioritizing the growth, well-being, and empowerment of our teams, we sow the seeds of enduring success. For it is through nurturing our people, fostering their potential, and igniting their passion that we cultivate a culture of excellence, innovation, and collaboration. In this journey, we realize that the true measure of prosperity isn't just in the numbers on a balance sheet, but in the lives we touch, the dreams we inspire, and the legacies we build together. So let us embark on this noble endeavor with zeal, for when we invest in our people, we lay the foundation upon which greatness is built. #dreamarchitect #parallelograminstitute #daphneyphillip #blackeducators #blackwomen #blackownedbusiness

Dear Higher Education, You may want to take some notes. Putting the system on notice. Lots to unpack, but should take seriously. Future generations hang in the balance and we should be paying attention. For me, one quote stood out above all else. While it wasn't the focus of the TEDX talk, I think it deserves the highlight as it fits well into his discussion points: "Higher Ed is about taking unremarkable kids and making them remarkable." We seem to have gotten away from this premise, and we need to get back to it. Well done #scottgalloway!

50 years on the planet (well, nearly). 20 years in Bristol. 10 + years running my own inclusion and social impact business. And what have I learned? That a lot of people, and organisations, just don't want to 'go there' with their Unsaid and Undone work. Including me. It can be lifelong stuff. That's why I've started Frank Conversations, for people and organisations who want to: 1. Explore stories and spaces for better work and workplaces. 2. Witness/ Practice/ Experiment/ Build frank conversations together. Let me know if you want individual or group support to explore your 'Say - Do Gap' for inclusion and social impact? - [Credit from Sal Naseem FRSA post who originally shared those words], In the overwhelm of asks, myself and a collective of people who care, invite you to simply listen to people and stories - what hurts, what helps, what hopes - and the chance to connect. PS Watch or listen to the 5 minute video below for a little more about this from the DisruptHR Bristol event.
