Feedback is important, but don't let others kill your dream! On another note, I'd estimate that we kill our own dreams 96% of the time. Do NOT be the killer of your own dreams. The world is hard enough without your negative thoughts and self doubt. Dream big, devise a plan, and go after it! Value your network as well as YOURSELF.

Jennifer Sutherland is a Training and Development Executive, an Adjunct Professor, and all around amazing human being.

Nakisha Hicks is the dynamic Founder of The ElevateHer, where she helps to elevate and transform organizations and individuals. We talk about women checking all of the boxes, but lacking the access many times to ascend in their careers. We discuss the power of who you know, how to build a business case to quantify your value to your employer, and having your "mirror moments" when you take an honest, objective look at your strengths and weaknesses. Nakisha also provides some keys to building unshakeable confidence. Such a wonderful conversation as we celebrate Women's History Month!

Dr. Neferiatiti (Holt) Lewis is a frequent collaborator of mine and we were able to spend time during #BlackHistoryMonth to reflect on Maya Angelou as well as Neffie's wonderful mother. Our intent was to discuss Dr. Angelou's story and contributions, but we ended with Dr. Lewis paying respect to her mother who recently passed.
