Today, we're inspired by Dr. Mae Jemison, the first Black female astronaut. An engineer, physician, and overall brilliant mind, Dr. Jemison never let the limited mindsets of others limit her achievements. Sometimes if you don't have a seat at the table, you have to bring your own chair 🤗 Never stop believing that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to! 💞 #MotivationMonday #blackbusinessmonth #blackownedbusiness #womanownedbusiness

#KaplanMobray #KeynoteSpeaker #BlackHistoryMonth #Inspiration One of the great lessons we can learn from history is the power of inspiration. Everyday as you live your 24 hours you are rewriting history, creating a new legacy, and living the possibilities of someone in history who inspired your walk. As Black History Month comes to a close I wanted to share one of my inspirations. Paul Robeson also known as the 20th century Renaissance man. As a concert musician, actor, professional athlete, activist, singer, lawyer, and public figure he broke conventional norms in his ability to create a #personalbrand for excellence across many fields of human endeavor. Today as an entrepreneur, speaker, author, musician, athlete, executive, actor, dancer, traveler and public figure I proudly stand on the shoulders of Paul Robeson and other figures in history who inspire me to create a shoulder for others to stand on in the future. Sharing this video that one of my clients inspired me to put together for Black History Month in celebration of the power of history and excellence. Who are you standing on the shoulders of? Who are the people in history who inspire your journey to create new history for others? What are the dimensions of your identity that you proudly celebrate and inspires your excellence? Excellence is a Choice. “Live life by decision not by default.” #KaplanMobray #KeynoteSpeaker #PersonalBranding #Leadership #PerformanceExcellence #MentalToughness #HighPerformance #Green #Energy #MentalHealth #BusinessGrowth #EmotionalResilience #GrowthMindset #CareerGrowth #Innovation #CMP #EventProfs #InternationalSpeaker #SpeakerBureau #MeetingPlanners #The10KsofPersonalBranding

This Black History Month, we at Halliday, Watkins & Mann P.C. celebrate the richness of African American culture and honor the brave leaders who paved the way for progress. Their stories of courage in the face of injustice continue to inspire all Americans to build a more just and equitable society. One of our focus areas as a firm is to serve diverse communities with dignity and respect. We believe that when any group faces barriers to accessing credit or fair treatment under the law, it impedes society as a whole. As Dr. King showed us, darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. This month, we reflect on the light brought by civil rights pioneers. Their sacrifices moved our country closer to its founding ideals of equality and opportunity for all. While substantial progress has been made, the work is not yet finished. We must carry on the pioneers’ spirit through understanding, wisdom and peaceful action. Here at Halliday, Watkins & Mann P.C., we are committed to listening, learning, and growing to better serve people of all backgrounds. Because America’s diversity is and always has been its greatest strength. Our rich differences unite us in one common humanity and destiny. #blackhistorymonth #diversityandinclusion

Channeling the power of impact this Black History Month February, a month rich with inspiration, always serves as a potent reminder of the indelible footprint we can choose to leave on the world. Reflecting on the unforgettable words of Maya Angelou, "I work really hard to just focus on the joy of the work that I get to do and the impact that I know it has on the world," I am reminded of the transformative power each of us possesses. Every project ignited by passion, every task completed with unwavering dedication, is a ripple in the vast ocean of change. It's a testament to our potential to inspire, innovate, and contribute actively to a better tomorrow. As we step into this Black History Month, let's recommit ourselves to the pursuit of excellence. Let's continue to create, innovate, and instigate impactful change. Remember, in the words of Angelou, our work is not just work; it's a joy and a legacy. #BlackHistoryMonth #Inspiration #Challenge #Change #Innovation #Excellence #Legacy

🎨 Life Through the Canvas of Jean-Michel Basquiat 🎨 As we celebrate Black History Month, let’s ponder the profound words of the iconic artist Jean-Michel Basquiat: "I don't think about art when I'm working. I try to think about life." Basquiat's approach to art was a direct reflection of his experiences, his observations of the world, and his vivid imagination. His statement invites us to consider how our everyday lives can be the richest sources of our creativity. Whether you're an artist, writer, or anyone creating something new, let Basquiat inspire you to draw from the vibrant palette of everyday experiences. How does life influence your creative work?
