Deep end leaders know that they have a particular calling on their lives and their primary job in life is to discover their unique purpose and mission.

Our guest is a part of the Trailblazers.FM family and I'm so happy to have him be part of the 2019 Trailblazers Masterclass series. I'm happy to introduce Shawn Dove. Shawn was first featured on Trailblazers.FM episode 16.

In today's episode Shawn share some inspiration and wisdom about the 7 C’s of deep-end leadership:  Calling, Courage, Completion, Credibility, Collaboration, Change and Coaching.

Shawn Dove’s leadership mission mantra is “there is no cavalry coming to save the day in our communities. We are the iconic leaders that we have been waiting for; curators of the change we are seeking to see.” He has almost four decades of cross-sector leadership in the fields of youth development, community-building, philanthropy, arts education, leadership development and media literacy. He currently serves as the founder of the Corporation for Black Male Achievement, a consulting and publishing firm that produces community-building engagements and multi-media stories of loving, learning and leading by and for Black men and boys. Shawn is the co-author of I Too Am America: On Loving and Leading Black Men & Boys (January 2022), equal parts memoir, historical account of CBMA and a curated manifesto of various voices in the Black Male Achievement movement.

Most recently, Shawn served as the CEO of the Campaign for Black Male Achievement (CBMA), a national intermediary membership organization committed to ensuring the growth, impact and sustainability of leaders and organizations committed to improving the life outcomes for Black men and boys. Launched in 2008 at the Open Society Foundations (OSF) and spinning off into an independent entity in 2015, under Dove’s leadership CBMA leveraged more than $212 million in national and local funds, while connecting thousands of leaders and organizations on behalf of an emerging field of Black Male Achievement.
