When we recognize our own value and the impact of our thinking, we start our journey as a thought leader. Many of us look a little different than the thought leaders of today, and it's diversity that is needed to co-create the future we want. The more diverse voices we have, the stronger and more resilient of a future we will co-create together. So add your voice, speak up, and bring your truth into the world, it will inspire others to do the same. #thoughtoftheday #thoughtleaders

Collaboration Fuels Progress! They say don't post on Linked In on Fridays because no one is working. It might be Friday, but the spirit of teamwork never rests! In a world where positive change is essential, the power of collaboration has to shine brightly. It has to be at the forefront of our minds. No one can do it all on their own. Yes, one man can change the world but he won't do it alone. I'm grateful for incredible individuals like JohnMatthew Douglas, Arthur Summerville, Ingrid Tulloch, and dedicated partners like Alexandra Porte, J.D., MBA, who bring their unique strengths to the table. We each have something special within us that contributes to the greater purpose. It's Board and Advisory members like Damon Smith, MD (President), Terrence L. M., Micah Damareck, Nicholas Rumke, Stephen Sisson who help me elevate and inspire change. It's friends like Christopher Gonzalez, Joel Gamble, Jeffrey Thompson, CPT, YES, Naaman Brown, Robert Wesley, Roy White, MBA, PMP, Dr. Tammira Lucas, Wendy Bolger, Matthew Reeds, Shawn Dove, Sadiq A. Ali, Gigi Franyo-Ehlers, Talib Horne, Morgan Somerville, Sherida A. Morrison S. Michael Brooks (Paul Brooks tell Mike to get a Linked In) and so many others who believe in me and who more than often inspire me. I don't always get a chance to tell them, but I'm so incredibly thankful for them and their willingness to collaborate. I'm proud to be a courageous, enthusiastic, and driven leader, continuously learning along the way. However, I know that my journey is richer with these amazing people by my side. Striving together to make a meaningful impact! #collaboration #teamwork #strengthinunity #CoppinState #

As we celebrate President's Day, let's focus on an important aspect of leadership that seems to have faded away in recent times - the art of uniting people. In today's era of divided politics, it's crucial to remember the legacy of past presidents who skillfully united our nation. True leadership is all about bringing people together, not dividing them. It's about creating bridges where walls are being built. Historical leaders like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were shining examples of this. They navigated difficult times not by deepening divisions, but by finding common ground, understanding the diverse fabric of this nation, and binding us together under shared values. These leaders understood that the strength of a nation lies in its unity. They led by rallying everyone around shared goals, not by pitting one group against another. Their vision was not just for the present, but a blueprint for a future where every citizen contributes to the nation's progress. In contrast, today's political climate often seems to be moving away from these unifying principles. The focus is more on dividing than uniting, and on individual agendas instead of collective progress. This President's Day, let's reignite the spirit of unity that once defined our leadership. Let's remember the wisdom of our forefathers and strive to follow their unifying leadership. It's time to prioritize what brings us together over what sets us apart. Let's honor their legacy by championing unity in our communities, workplaces, and beyond. As we celebrate past presidents, let's also hold a vision for a future where leadership once again becomes synonymous with unity, and political agendas give way to the collective heart of a nation. #PresidentsDay2024 #UnityOverDivision #LeadershipLegacy #UnitedWeStand

Continuing on with our month of Leadership Development, we need to ask the question "What Will Future Leadership Look Like?": ❔ How will the leaders of the future will look and act? Will it be different than what we are historically used to? ❔ How will hierarchy, centralization, and the definition of success function in organizations of the future? ❔ What are the imperative qualities and skills that leaders of the future must have? Watch Anne Loehr's keynote video below to learn more about these and other essential leadership topics. #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #futureofleadership #video #keynote #success #purpose #leadershipskills
