YPO’s Post

It's Black Business Month. And I've said it before, but it bears repeating: Supporting Black-owned businesses is just good business. It strengthens local communities and the broader macroeconomic environment. In this month's Inc. Magazine article, I share a bit about the $183 billion in annual revenue, 1.4 million jobs, and $54 billion in payroll Black-owned businesses contribute along with 4 ways folks can show their support year-round. https://lnkd.in/gQUS-azN #BlackBusinessMonth

For Leah Solivan, founder of Taskrabbit and host of Breaking Precedent, the journey to entrepreneurship was kind of an accident.

As a business leader, I'm passionate about continuous personal and professional development. One of the key ways I've invested in my growth is by joining the YPO (Young Presidents' Organization) - the world's largest community of chief executives. Through YPO, I have the opportunity to connect with over 35,000 extraordinary global leaders who share a belief in the importance of becoming better leaders and better people. The diverse perspectives, expertise, and experiences of the YPO community have been incredibly valuable in challenging me to grow. In addition to the rich learning programs and exceptional experiences YPO offers, I've found the peer-to-peer mentorship and support to be truly invaluable. I even co-founded a new YPO chapter (YPO Northeast) with 50+ other business leaders - providing an opportunity to learn from and support one another on our leadership journeys. Whether it's books, courses, or collaborative learning groups, I'm always seeking out new ways to invest in my personal development. Surrounding myself with like-minded leaders who are also passionate about growth has been a key driver of my own evolution as a business leader. I'd highly recommend exploring YPO or similar peer-learning communities as a powerful resource for personal and professional development. #FBCGrowthMindset #PersonalDevelopment #Leadership Forbes Business Council
