The MoMA Black Arts Council recently held a walk-through with Christiana Boyle from Gladwell Projects on the final day of her unique exhibit. Christiana, an art dealer and curator, had a brilliant vision: to showcase fine art not just on gallery walls, but within lived-in residential spaces. After success in Texas, she was determined to bring this idea to life in New York. During the walk-through, Christiana shared a powerful detail: she contacted over 60 realtors in NYC with

My year in grad school Wake Forest University was a sprint, but the relationships forged that time into memory. I remember the international service trips, like Project Nicaragua where we provided pro bono marketing expertise to help local entrepreneurs scale. Later, traveling with HanesBrands to see their sales process at Target in Minnesota gave me a front-row seat to high-level B2B operations. My experience was a deep dive into real-world leadership and problem-solving. Th

My travel schedule is often aggressive, and the desire to get home quickly is strong. But every trip is also a unique chance to strengthen the exciting web of professional relationships across the country that fuel our work in L&D and executive coaching. Recently, in Houston for the J.P. Morgan Chase event, I decided to shift my mindset from "in-and-out" to "in-and-invest." I sent an early invitation to a group of phenomenal professionals from a variety of industries, many wh

We often treat the act of getting dressed up or attending an event as a logistical burden. It is easy to view the preparation as a series of tasks that stand between us and our rest. However, last night at a dinner with the team at Bergdorf Goodman, Linda Fargo shared a perspective that shifted how I view this effort. She spoke about the deep appreciation she holds for people who take the time to dress up because that specific exertion elevates the experience for everyone in

There are so many conflicting views on authentic leadership. At C-Suite Coach, we have a strong philosophy: Authenticity is the foundation for transformative leadership. What is always left to unpack and explore is what does authenticity mean and how does it show up? I recently had the privilege of leading a discussion around this topic at my 3rd sold-out, members-only event for women leaders at Zero Bond. My role as the facilitator is always prime the space for vulnerability

I used to believe my past in pageants and modeling (including Pantene ads!) had to be scrubbed from my professional narrative in corporate strategy. I thought it detracted from my serious achievements. Today, I embrace it completely. As leaders, anything that makes us different is an asset to be celebrated. This shift has unlocked incredible new connections, including executives who started conversations with me over my shoes or jewelry. Recently, meeting Corina Larpin, found

This year, my calendar has been a blur of airport codes, Hawaii, Nebraska, Texas, Virginia, Florida, and many others, all to help business owners across the country leverage AI. I've delivered countless presentations on making AI work for them, but a recent stop was really special! Last week, I had the privilege of partnering with the local Chamber of Commerce right here in Brooklyn to connect with small business owners on AI growth strategies. Seeing the lightbulbs go off fo

I recently had the incredible opportunity of taking the mainstage in Houston, Texas for a Chase small business experience to talk about the power of AI for small business and representing my client Grow With Google. This is my second time supporting one of these events and what makes them truly special is how much Chase works to curate an exceptional experience for small business owners, including free items to support local businesses, bringing authors who’ve written excepti

It was a powerful and beautiful evening celebrating the Studio Museum in Harlem  at their gala & also celebrating the quickly approaching reopening.  The arts are a fundamental pillar of human and professional growth. They challenge our perspectives, spark innovation, and teach us empathy, essential qualities for any leader. Seeing the culmination of years of dedication to this historic institution filled me with profound joy and excitement for the future. The room was buzzin

For the last three years, C-Suite Coach has partnered with SiriusXM's DIRO group (Thank you Donna Burke for bringing us back), providing specialized training for their sales teams. In the past, we've explored topics like authentic leadership and navigating conflict. This time, we focused on Thriving Through Change . This topic is particularly exciting because I’ve come to understand that change isn't a single event in a career. It really is a constant. Whether it's the ripple

Many thanks to The Mom Economy, Brittany Valdes, and Hannah Wong for having me at the Mother of AI Conference ! I was so proud that my session on advanced AI prompting really resonated with the crowd. I lead trainings on AI almost weekly and sometimes I can forget that what feels very familiar to us can be absolutely groundbreaking to others. So much of the conversation around AI focuses on what it is and how it's being generally used, but for business owners, what truly matt
