About your inner circle… “Walk with the wise and become wise. Associate with fools and get in trouble.” - Proverbs 13 and 20 In my years of life, I've had some bad friends. When I was trying to do right by them, they did me wrong. But God has given me the wisdom to be able to let go…to not harbor anger and instead have a heart of forgiveness. This doesn't mean the relationship returns to what it was before. It just means I moved past it.

Knowing What You Bring To The Table
Sometimes, you get so comfortable with what you do that you don't even notice when you lose something important Your leading edge. When you don't stretch your brain to push yourself to new levels, a couple of things happen: So… when was the last time you stretched your brain? And even if you have gained new knowledge recently… Did you use it? Ladies, I have stretched my brain in ways I haven't done so in a long time since I've become the CEO of Community Bridge. And while I've consumed an abundant amount of information so that I can effectively run and elevate this company, I also know that the work I put in now will help me grow personally, too. I've pulled my expertise from years of experience as a coach and consultant, and not only utilized it purposefully… but strengthened my confidence and competence ALL while expanding my own knowledge. Are you ready to do the same? On the podcast, I share how: If you struggle to find a way to push yourself and your business to the next level, then it's time to stretch and strategically put the information you've gained into motion.
I sat in the boardroom as the CEO of a new company and was given a task that kept me up at night… In addition to the revenue the current contracts and clients of this company brought in…I needed to somehow add an additional $3-5 million in sales for 2022… …In the next 6-7 months… And I thought…How the heck do I make this happen??? This was a critical moment. Now I've dealt with contracts in corporate America before. I know what it means to hit a sales goal… and what happens when you don't… So I knew I needed to do these 3 things, and I needed to find a way to do it NOW To find someone who knows what I need to know To significantly cut down my learning curve time To make an impact SOON After many sleepless nights, I had an idea. In my own company, I've made amazing connections—people who are experts that I trust to bring onto my platform to help educate my clients. So I reached out to those that happened to be a perfect fit for my objectives as the CEO. And in four months of me leading this company, we bid on a BIG contract that would have taken at least a year or two on my own… I needed help, and I know you need it, too. On the podcast, you'll learn: Who I hired to actually achieve my goals sooner rather than later Why do you need a team to help you get where you want to be If you want to make an impact sooner… Then it's time to reach for the help that gets you to your own goals faster.
Increase Your Competence to Increacse Your Confidence
One of the biggest crowds I've spoken in front of had over 7,500 people… Not only that, I've spoken to audiences internationally …And all across the country! But here's the most important thing I have learned from my experiences No matter the size of your audience… Whether you're about to speak to a room of 7,000 people or only to 1, this is a particular skill you need to refine. And that skill is speaking When it comes to being a better speaker, these 3 books made such an impact in my life and my business. It's changed how I approach my audience, understand what captures their attention, and how to deliver my ideas. On this podcast, you'll learn how these books teach you to: Keep your content succinct (especially when you're short on time) Deliver your presentations with greater commercial success Package up your speaking package so you understand the business of speaking This is the last in my Blessed by A Book Series—the books I hope will shape the way you think.

I admit it… …I felt like a small fish when I first started to work with corporate organizations. They felt like giants, and I was intimidated. I would go to the table for negotiation, but I would see myself as small. When it came time for them to see what I could do, I didn't come from a place of strength. Until I read these books that changed the way I approach negotiation and pitches… It's easy for a small business owner to get caught up in the size of being a small business…But don't be fooled by your size. Because the impact you have is like a giant. These 3 books have given me strength…to the point where I now strengthen my community when they struggle in these areas. Whether you're a mother, wife, or business woman, the truth is, we struggle to negotiate—to ask for what we want. It's time to see yourself as a GIANT. The books I talk about on my podcast will Give you the framework so that you can see the giant within you (and for everyone else to see it too) Teach you how to control the deal, the pitch, and the conversation so that you lead from a place of power. Show you why we struggle to negotiate as women in business and the framework we need to be able to push back Come to the table confidently and in control.

There are times where I'm like, “Lord, where are you?” Do you ever feel that way? When you think about all the things you've done for your business, yet… Your pitch failed...

It's hard not to feel like you've failed… And you don't know what you need to do to get the answer. When I say, “Pick up the phone, God...” Here's my translation: “I feel like a failure…and I need to have a conversation.” So if you find that you say things like: I've tried everything, but nothing works… I can't seem to get it right… What if I fail…?

When you think about the Bible story of David and Goliath, you probably don't immediately associate this with your business… But think about it: Goliath, as gigantic and as good as he was at fighting, was still defeated by David. And here's why: David learned to fight so that he could bring home food to his family, so God helped him prepare. David was secure in his belief in God, so he was confident God would give him what he needed. David knew that he was not alone, so God gave him victory. When you think about your business, do you go into it with the knowledge that you're not alone? Or… when you're the one that drives and handles all the needs of the business… Do you forget that God is with you? When things aren't smooth in your business, do you believe in God enough that if you continue to walk with God, He will be the provider of all things like He did for David? On the podcast, you'll learn: When to recognize when you're the Goliath in your business How to reframe the way you think about your business and strengthen your relationship with God If you want to have the confidence that you can handle anything that comes in the way of your business, then it's time to start running your business like David.
