🎖️ From Valor to Victory: Memorial Day's Business Lessons Unveiled 🚀 As we enjoy the long weekend and time spent with loved ones, it's crucial to pause and honor the true significance of Memorial Day. Today, we commemorate the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their selflessness and dedication remind us of the importance of honor, integrity, and sacrifice, values that resonate deeply within our business community. As entrepreneurs and professionals, we strive for excellence, but it's essential to remember the foundation upon which our freedoms and opportunities are built. Memorial Day serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact individuals can have when they commit themselves wholeheartedly to a cause greater than themselves. In business, this translates to fostering a culture of service, teamwork, and purpose-driven leadership. Moreover, Memorial Day underscores the significance of gratitude and appreciation. Just as we express gratitude for the sacrifices of our fallen heroes, let us also express gratitude for the dedicated individuals who contribute to our businesses every day. As we honor the memory of those who gave their lives for our country, let us recommit ourselves to upholding the values they fought to defend. Together, let's strive to build businesses and communities that reflect the spirit of unity, resilience, and service exemplified by our fallen heroes. #MemorialDay #HonoringHeroes #BusinessValues #Gratitude

Learning from other leaders makes me a better leadership and presence coach.

One of the highlights of my day: Soaking up the Black genius and wisdom from such a dynamic panel of Black Leaders, and some of my favorite Sheroes–Panelist, Maia Blankenship and Moderator, Karla Monterroso Thank you to Common Future for hosting this powerful event, Accelerating Justice: Spotlighting The Economic Future We Deserve.  There were SO many powerful nuggets from this group around well-being, philanthropy, power, and leadership— I couldn’t keep track! But here are a few of my favorite moments: ⭐ “If those adults in those school environments are not whole, free, and do not prioritize their wellness, it falls apart. A big part of system change in education is that Leaders who are doing this work are sustained, abundant, and can REST…. We have to redesign how we work in the classroom”...  “As Brown and Black Leaders, we need to do the healing work ourselves and also prioritize our overall well being.” —Maia Blankenship, Co-CEO of Black Wildflowers Fund ⭐ “If we don’t understand who we are and our roots, we miss out on opportunity.”... “How can we take philanthropic investments so that they are not just one-off gifts, but take into account our own philanthropic system and do this collectively as an ecosystem.” —Fay Horwitt,President &C EO of Forward Cities. ⭐ “If you don’t bring someone with that innate understanding to the table you will never get to the root solution—one that is not just a bandaid and rather, solves it from the begging.” —Leah Patterson, CIO ReMix Ideas #educatorwellbeing #blackleaders #blackwildflowersfund #workplacewellbeing #commonfuture

Juneteenth represents brighter days filled with celebration but also serves as a reminder of the pain and struggles America’s Black community experienced – and still experiences. At YPO with its vision to inspire leaders to make a difference in the world, the day also serves as an opportunity. For member Jason Edwards, it means honoring his father’s #legacy as an influential legislator who fought to make June 19th a federal holiday. “Use Juneteenth as a day to communicate to your company and the descendants of American slavery, that you hear them, you see their history and you recognize their story,” Edwards urges. For Kanarys™ CEO Mandy Price it means funneling her civic mindedness into a company dedicated to systemic change around #diversity, equity and inclusion. “It takes all of us to ensure that we are creating a world that is working for the betterment of all. It’s not just a moral imperative, but societal necessity," she says. Frenchy's Chicken’s CEO Ernest H. is honoring the holiday by partnering with a young Black-owned company, a competitor, to create a menu collaboration. “We hope it shows the community, and really everyone, that Juneteenth was just the beginning of the journey,” Hunter says. “The way we continue to improve Black-owned businesses is to work together and cross competitor lines.” And Devon Henry is leaning into his Black YPO network to support and celebrate other leaders. “We share our joy and celebrate each other’s wins,” he says about the smaller group of YPO members within the larger organization. “We’re constantly asking how we can help each other."
