Goodbye Cube 👋🏾: My Journey to Financial Independence 😃This past weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to speak at BLK in Bloom’s Beyond Budgeting series where I delved into the transformative power of financial optimization, creating multiple streams of income, and the reality of early retirement. 🔋The energy and enthusiasm in the room were palpable, and I’m grateful for the chance to share and connect. 🤗 🌟 Empowering High-Achieving Professionals 🌟 I’m dedicated to guiding ambitious professionals on a journey to WORK LESS, earn more, and live a life of abundance through the principles of Financial Independence, Retire Early (F.I.R.E.). Imagine a life where the traditional 9-5 becomes optional, where your time is your own, and financial worries no longer stay rent free in your mind!! 🧘🏾♀️ 🏆 My Personal Milestone: In just two short years, this dream will be my reality. My transition from financial dependence to working on my terms isn’t just about making more money—it’s about making smarter money moves. I’m living proof that with the right plan and strategy, financial freedom is achievable for anyone. 🗣️EVEN YOU!! 💡 Here’s What I spoke about: • Planning and Strategy are Everything: No matter how much you make, the important piece is about how much you keep and how to make your money worker harder than you! • Multiple Income Streams are 🔑Key: Diversifying your income can accelerate your journey to financial independence. You have skills, professional experience, natural talents, and knowledge that can bring you much more value on the open market than they can within a company😬. I’m PROOF! • Mindset Shifts are Crucial: Viewing money as a tool rather than an end goal can open up new possibilities for wealth creation. 👉🏾Your Turn: I want to hear from you. What steps are you taking towards financial independence? Have you considered the F.I.R.E. approach? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below. ♻️If you found this post interesting, like and share! Stay tuned to hear how I’m retiring early before 40 in two years. #FinancialFreedom #FIREPrinciples #EarlyRetirement #IncomeStreams #WealthBuilding #BLKinBloom

Thanks to everyone who attended the Our Places of Impact Community of Practice event yesterday, Facilitating Consensus in Communities! This was the first time using our new Peer-Led event format.     In case you missed it, under our new event format participants are encouraged to share their insights and ask questions. Yesterday’s event included a networking component and audience engagement activity following a panel discussion led three members of the Our Places of Impact Planning Committee: Silas Matchem, Sara Smallwood-Cocke, and Julius Austin, representing peer organizations from the States of Illinois, Oklahoma, and California.   The engaging conversation reiterated the importance of reaching all community members by creating the right conditions for everyone to have a seat at the table. Participants also grappled with strategies for being a successful communicator and having difficult conversations in their communities.     Whether you were able to attend yesterday or not, we would like to hear your insights, experiences, and questions on this topic. - What does it mean to you to facilitate consensus?   - What is one of the best things you have learned from someone else about navigating difficult conversations?  - What do you want to learn more about on this topic?

You know those moments when you’re chatting with someone, and their story is so inspiring, you just have to share it with the world? That’s exactly how I felt during my conversation with Annise Mabry, Ph.D., a powerhouse leader making incredible waves in rural communities. Dr. Annise Mabry joined She’s LinkedUp Accelerator looking to elevate her visibility and impact. She already had a strong voice and purpose, but like so many brilliant women, she was ready to rise higher. And wow, did she soar! Here are some key takeaways from our chat about how She’s LinkedUp helped her unlock the next level of her leadership and influence: 1. Positioning as a Thought Leader: Dr. Mabry already had incredible work under her belt—working with rural communities and founding a nonprofit—but she wanted to be seen as the go-to expert in her field. In She’s LinkedUp, we worked on crafting her LinkedIn presence to reflect not just her expertise but her unique leadership style. Now, she’s getting noticed by key decision-makers who are eager to collaborate with her. 2. Building Intentional Connections: One of the biggest shifts Annise experienced was moving from passive networking to being proactive and intentional. She realized LinkedIn was a powerful tool to connect with people who could open doors to bigger opportunities. Her network is now filled with influential leaders who want to support her mission—and it all started by showing up consistently and authentically. 3. Transforming Visibility into Impact: We also discussed how transforming her visibility has led to tangible impact—whether through new partnerships, grant opportunities, or increasing her platform’s reach. Dr. Mabry has gone from being a behind-the-scenes powerhouse to a front-and-center thought leader in her industry. She’s LinkedUp didn’t just help her show up—it helped her rise up. Dr. Mabry’s journey is a perfect example of what happens when you step into the visibility you deserve. She reignited her presence, rose up, and now she’s building a platform that will make an even greater impact on the world. Could this be your story too? If you’re ready to rise up and elevate your LinkedIn presence, let’s chat. I’m offering a few FREE strategy calls for women who are ready to step into their thought leadership and build the life-changing connections they need to grow.

The Global Knowledge Initiative's bold approach uncovers the untapped potential of conferences – transforming them from information exchanges to dynamic network hubs. The result? A fertile ground for innovative ideas, meaningful partnerships, and a propelled journey towards sustainable impact! By prioritizing *collaboration* over *presentation*, we can reshape professional gatherings into a seedbed for collective action. Let's rethink how we come together and harness the power of community engagement. After all, the best breakthroughs come when we break out of the mold together. https://ow.ly/ebA450Qsbcc
