On our first ever She Runs It Panel Discussion, it’s a Women of Color panel interview with five dynamic black women business owners, and I’m so excited for them to share some of their experience, and what it means for them to be black women in business in our very...
We're continuing our theme this month about being black business women, or women of color in America and some of the challenges that we're facing. Especially speaking from a place of bias, or looking at past experience to inform our current or future results. And one...
Today we're talking about implicit bias and where it shows up when you're working with your business coach or contractor. I know already there tends to be a little bit of tension between the coaching world and the consulting world. And so I wanted to talk a little bit...
I know this month we're focusing on branding, so it's easy for people to forget that creating an elevator pitch is basic step one. You must communicate who you are and what you do, to others. Now, I'm going to present to you today a very simple framework so you can...

In times of tumultuous change and especially new political climates, it's important for leaders to remember that part of the burden/opportunity of leadership is being the go-to person that people can trust when they need support. Great leaders demonstrate...
