He added that while many feel compelled to return to the way things were before COVID-19, this isn't possible.Many of the things that previously filled our days have been replaced with things we either never thought possible or thought we would get to someday, like workplaces with fully remote employees, touchless contact, effective video sales calls, home delivery of nearly every product, and even remote doctor visits.He opined that to be successful in a constantly changing global environment, an organization needs to be responsive, resilient and ready.

Mashup Episode – Show Notes In this episode of Diversity Dad, Jama’l takes excerpts from past episodes of 2015, sharing quotes from his guests and adding his own insights to help listeners be the best they can be, in fatherhood and life. Bolaji O., is the CEO of Bravepreneur Parents Academy. He shares with listeners the wisdom of Steve Jobs, where he explains that by looking forward, it’s very difficult to know the stepping stones to your destination. However, by looking backwards at the events and experiences in your life, you’re able to see how everything that has happened actually "connects the dots" and gets you to where you are presently, and are heading. Jay Forte of the Greatness Zone stresses the importance of being aware of who you are. He says that it’s a requirement for all of us to get comfortable with this and recommends that we created a "personal board of directors" ;people who care and love you – period. Michael Anthony Duncan pulls a lesson from The Cosby Show, and talks about an episode where Bill Cosby helps a new dad. To do so, he tells the new father "whatever you do, you’re going to be a hero to your kid." This serves as a reminder to do your best, at all times, and don’t worry if you’re not perfect. Cedric Hameed says his biggest obstacle as a dad is wondering if he could actually do it or not. He says that not having enough examples of strong fatherhood, and information, gave him a feeling of security that he had to overcome.
Jay Forte – Show Notes (Diversity Dad) Jay Forte is a motivational speaker and certified workplace and life coach. He hosts a podcast for parents called "Get Your Kids Ready For Life". He helps parents learn how to guide, support and coach their kids so they can discover, develop and live who they really are. Jay is also a gay man and a father of three children. He knows the values of being heard and respected, and is inspired to help every child feel valuable and important for whom they are. Jay is an avid writer, gardener and cook, residing in sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Jay grew up in a white, middle class family, never thinking of himself becoming a diversity dad. He spent most of his life pretending not to be the gay kid in a big Italian family. He had three daughters and was married for 10 years before he had to be honest about his sexual orientation. "I realized what it’s like when the world shuns you and points its finger at you." He spent a number of years being an average parent before boldly stepping into who he was. When he did that, his parenting completely changed, along with his outlook on life. "That’s why I do what I do. Everyone should feel valued and significant". Jay considers himself a Diversity Dad, in that he is a gay dad trying to raise kids with a lot of expectations, and pressures about how to be what is considered a real dad. "The diversity part of it is embracing who it is and what is unique and amazing about us." "If life changes, just stay consistent to what you do, which is love your kids. Pretty soon, the world starts to catch up and allows you to be who you really are." He reminds us that kids are a work in progress, not perfect, and there’s something remarkable in that. "Our job is to help them figure out how they fit in today’s world." His biggest realization is he had nothing to be ashamed of in regards to who he is. "The ability to coach somebody into showing up big and discovering their purpose is what excites him most about being a dad." "Deep in us, we’re so connected to our kids, and the wish for them to be successful, happy and responsible" Jay’s proudest moment about being a dad include walking his two daughters down the aisle when they got married. "It’s the moment where everyone focuses on you, and the work you’ve done, to get them ready to move on in life. There aren’t words for it." "His biggest obstacle in being a dad has been in accepting his own identity." "Your own voice is true; you should listen to it, trust it and follow it" His advice to others is to be authentic, which opens up the opportunity for everything else to happen. "If you play small, you short change yourself and you short change the world". INTERVIEW LINKS: www.Ready4Life.me Jay@TheGreatnessZone.com (email)
