For unto each of us is given a bag of tools, A lump of clay, and a book of rules . . . And it is left up to each of us to decide whether we shall become a stumbling block or in the realization of our dreams… a stepping stone ... This is a Solo Show with Dr. Geneva Williams....  As this nation prepares for the changing of the guards of leadership in Washington of these United States of America, this day as we celebrate the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his message is more important than ever before. Though etched in a moment in time by one of this nation’s great leaders, Dr. King’s message is timeless. It still pulls us. Calls us higher. Makes us sit down and examine ourselves and what we are doing to become what that one man once dared to dreamed.             Dr. Martin Luther King spoke famously, openly, candidly about his dreams. Boldly, he revealed his heart’s deepest desires with a world that did not care nor share his same vision. He gave us words that inspired and sprouted hope. Words that even today, years after their delivery, continue to echo throughout the world – unfolding from tongues that live to create, to craft, to carve out that same dream that Reverend King had.             Today, Dr. King’s dream is part of the larger American dream – a dream that encompasses his vision for peace, along with a modern vision of prosperity and happiness for us all.   Hear the entire show and share it with others. www.DrGenevaSpeaks.com

It doesn’t matter who you are, what you do or where you live – you are a leader. Leaders are folks that aren’t necessarily labeled as “the leader” but their actions project the aura of being the one people go to for advice, wisdom, direction, or just a sign-off . Leadership is about influencing others to do something -- to act, follow a dream, complete a task.   Everyone is called to lead in some way sometime in life. Leaders have the desire to make an impact, be an agent for change and make things better than they found them.   You “boss up” when you make a difference and create an atmosphere that inspires, motivates, challenges and changes something or someone for the better.   The best way to do that is your way, with your unique gifts, skills and talents.   The tips Dr. Geneva will share in this show from her new booklet are just that – nuggets she has learned overthe years from her career as a leader, founder and director of many organizations.    She's tried to boil her brain on paper to get you thinking and reflecting on what you are called to lead and how to do it with “swag” in this new tips booklet.   As a female entrepreneur, career professional, or a nonprofit executive who wants to learn proven strategies for leadership or expand influence at work and in your community you want to listen to this show.   Now let’s get your leadership on and hear Dr. Geneva speak.   www.drgenevespeaks.com

VISION;  To lead a global networking movement to increase opportunities for people of African descent Dr. George C. Fraser is Chairman and CEO of FraserNet, Inc; a company he founded almost 30 years ago with the vision to lead a global networking movement that brings together diverse human resources to increase opportunities for people of African descent. He is considered by many to be a new voice for African Americans and one of the foremost authorities on economic development, networking and building effective relationships. While George’s accomplishments are significant, his beginnings were very humble. He was born in Brooklyn, NY into a family of 11 children (8 boys and 3 girls). When George’s mom became mentally ill, George’s dad, a cab driver, could not care for 11 children so George was orphaned at 3 and spent 14 years in foster homes. Growing up on the streets of New York he had little hope and no expectations. Although his guidance counselor suggested he drop out of high school, George graduated from high school with a vocational diploma in woodworking because the school system did not consider him college material. Thank God George felt differently…for several years, he mopped floors on the midnight shift at LaGuardia Airport, while he paid his way through college. Later, in 1996, he graduated from the prestigious Dartmouth College; Minority Business Executive Program. In 1999, he was awarded the Honorary Doctorate Degree of Humane Letters from Jarvis Christian College.  See more info at www.frasernet.com

Let's have some conversation with today's leading women in leadership and high level CEO's to learn how they claimed their Confidence Factor. The visionary behind this movement, Carol Sankar, commenced the Confidence Factor for Women in Leadership research in 2011 after a long successful career in real estate and law, yet taking note of the lack of powerful women in profitable industries. Sankar developed a private group of 100 women and asked the difficult questions about profit, asking for more, and gaining access to elevated opportunities in their career and business for 4 consecutive years and measured their growth. As a result, she took her findings and started the Confidence Factor movement and round-table series for high achieving women who feel the "plateau" of success. She realized the reason why women plateaued was due to lack of confidence .Her first book, The Confidence Factor for Women in Business, became an international bestseller. The new book, The Confidence Factor for Women: Conversations with Women CEO's, includes personal and professional stories from leaders. Readers will understand the obstacles that all women face in their journey, including Carol's journey breaking through the boundaries of women in real estate investing. What you'll glean from this conversation: The clarity to focus on leadership; The confidence to face the obstacles; The tools to access elevated opportunities and MORE!   Carol Sankar has been featured in Madame Noire, LearnVest, The Steve Harvey TV Show, CNNMoney.com, TEDx, Entrepreneur Magazine and Essence Magazine.
