🎃 Don't Be a Spooky Leader! 🎃

Happy Halloween! Scary leadership habits to avoid: 👻 Ghosting your team on feedback 🧛 Vampire meetings that suck the life out of you 🧟 Zombie culture where no one is engaged

Let's focus on leadership that's all treat, no trick.

#WorkplaceCulture #LeadershipTips #EQ
We're wrapping up our month on 'The Human Element.'

Inspired by Justin Wright's post: "Bad leaders think a crown is power. Good leaders know it's a responsibility."

This is the entire philosophy of my "Fixin' Your Crown, Boo!" podcast.

A good leader's job isn't to polish their own crown, it's to have the empathy to help OTHERS fix theirs.

A critical insight from Nir Eyal: zurl.co/bTQyR

The desire to control is a classic sign of a leader in 'survival mode.' It erodes trust.

The shift to leading through influence is the heart of "The Human Element." It's about creating an environment of trust, not fear.

👑 Mindset Monday: Your Career, Your Blueprint 👑

A gem from the #FYCBpodcast: Your career isn't your company; it's your personal brand & expertise. This is the core of "fixin' your own crown." It's the "human element" for yourself.

What's one step to take this week to invest in your blueprint?

What makes a manager "one in a million"? It's the "Human Element"—the traits that build trust & loyalty.

It’s the servant leadership philosophy my next guest, George White Jr., embodies. His episode drops Thursday!

What's one sign you look for in a top leader? 👇

Layla Revis (zurl.co/ZKtfa ) is right: laughter = psychological safety (link: zurl.co/NERN3). It means trust & connection. My podcast guest George White Jr. agrees: fun builds relationships. It's the #HumanElement! What's your take?

#Leadership #PsychologicalSafety
A classic for a reason: "People don't quit jobs, they quit people."

It's the real-world cost of the "Unprepared Manager" crisis and what happens when the "human element" is ignored.

Servant leadership isn't a soft skill; it's your best retention strategy.

#Leadership #EmployeeRetention #Work
GUEST REVEAL! My next guest on Fixin' Your Crown, Boo! is George White Jr., PMP: zurl.co/xGKr4 . He's a decade+ expert in project management, but his best leadership lessons came from his grandmother. We dive deep into servant leadership and mentorship. The full episode drops next Thursday!

#EQ
What truly drives a team to go the extra mile? A guest on my podcast said it best: "..the way that you make them feel will have someone work overtime for you."

It's the ultimate lesson in leading with the Human Element. A new episode of Fixin' Your Crown, Boo! is coming soon!

Great convo on AI in mentorship sparked by Johanna Seasonwein post: zurl.co/60Cms

AI is a brilliant co-pilot for the 'what' (data). But a human mentor provides the 'why' (lived experience, psychological safety).

The future is AI + Human, freeing us up for transformational work.

#FutureOfWork
Let's talk about the two powerful pillars of a leader's legacy.

🌱 Mentorship: Actively reaching back to guide and support.
✨ Representation: Passively showing what's possible just by being visible.

My next guest gets it: you can't be what you can't see.

#Mentorship #RepresentationMatters
Authority is given with a title. Influence is earned. The currency is trust.

When you lead from a place of service, your team doesn't follow you because they have to; they follow because they want to.

What's one way a leader has earned your trust, with their actions?

Still buzzing from my conversation with the Barter Black community yesterday! Huge thanks to the hosts.

A key theme that resonated: Servant Leadership isn't about being 'the boss'; it's about asking, "How can I empower you?"

I did a thing! 🎉 Officially an ICF Certified Coach!

After my original 2024 plans fell through, I took the plunge on this massive goal (60+ educational hours & 100+ practice hours). Couldn't have done it without my amazing classmates.

So excited to represent the ICF's high standards.

Inspired by the stories at Black Tech Saturdays this weekend. The big lesson: there’s never a "perfect time." The universe points you towards your calling.

It's my story. My layoff was the signal to synthesize every lesson and build my own mission.

#Resilience #FounderStory
My founder story is live.

It's about how my 3rd layoff in a 15-minute meeting became the sucker punch that forced me to build my own blueprint with J² Elevate Consulting. It’s a story of resilient reinvention.
