Thank you for returning for Dr. Anita’s third conversation with Ms. Azhelle Ward, The Toy Coach. In our last conversation together, Azhelle will raise our awareness about toys that she helped to shepherd from concept to reality with two different women who have been students in her Toy Creators Academy. I wanted to bridge the recognition of Black History Month with the upcoming celebration of National Women's History Month, so be prepared to take a few notes.

Welcome back to Dr. Anita’s second conversation with The Toy Coach, Ms. Azhelle Ward. During our second conversation, Azhelle will go a little deeper to discuss the differences in how her expertise and lived experience were valued pre- and post- The Black Lives Matter movement. What she will share is rather personal and may give some in our podcast Community reason to pause and reflect on their experiences as a person of color in spaces that still don’t reflect today's diverse society.

Hello, Community! This month on Real Conversations from the C-Suite, I’m excited to celebrate Black History Month with a unique guest, Ms. Azhelle Ward, also known as The Toy Coach! Did you know there was a such thing? Well, there is, and Azhelle will be sharing with us her experiences as a C-suite executive in the toy industry where the challenges associated with the development and promotion of diverse dolls and toys are not a game.

Welcome to Black History Month as we recognize African Americans and the Arts. As we navigate the vast canvas of African American history, let us be mindful of the melodies and masterpieces that have shaped our culture. Let us champion DEI in every aspect of our lives, recognizing that it drives progress and prosperity for ALL Americans. And, as we celebrate the artistry of our past, let us plant seeds of representation in the fertile soil of the toy industry, ensuring that every child sees themselves as the hero of their own story.

Welcome back to Dr. Anita’s second conversation with Ms. Shawn Smith, Founder and CEO of Shawn Smith Communications. Today, Shawn will share her entrepreneurial journey and the differences in organizational culture between her very first “real job” as a young adult and the stark contrast to the next company she joined a few years later. That transition was the catalyst for her career philosophy of intentionally pursing purpose-driven goals aligned with her values and lifestyle.

Happy New Year, Community! This month on Real Conversations from the C-Suite, I’m excited to have Ms. Shawn Smith, Founder and CEO of Shawn Smith Communications. During our first epoxide, we’ll explore the annual ritual most of us put ourselves through with the declaration of new year’s resolutions and talk about why she and I both STOPPED participating in said ritual several years ago. And, why you might want to consider doing the same.

News flash: On New Year’s Day, I realized that I’ve entered a new year with the same life, and that things didn’t magically change at the stroke of midnight on December 31st. If that seems like an obvious statement, then why do we still make New Year’s resolutions that we eventually break? This year, let’s create a 2024 mindset reset that is intentional about aligning purpose-driven goals with everyday reality in ways that won’t leave you drained. By being intentional, you will dramatically increase your chances to live your best life more consistently throughout the year.
