- I'm back!!! Mindset shifting - Is your mind good ground or nah?
Welcome back! I guess I should be welcoming myself back LOL.
The theme for this season is “Preparation”. I get a lot of questions about, how I was able to go a whole year without a job, and no one really could tell the difference. Maintaining a positive attitude and remaining disciplined, is not something that just happens. It takes preparing your mind for change, for growth.
Some ways we can be intentional about moving into a better mindset:
- Commit to being more self-aware
- Give yourself some grace
- Think about what you may need to get rid of
- Start educating yourself with books, videos, articles, and/or events, that focus on what you know you need to improve, or want to be exposed to

29 min - Babysitting to the Boardroom w/Cydney Peyton Walton
On this episode I sit down with Cydney Peyton Walton. Cydney is a Marketing Communications executive, in the Virginia/D.C. area. She and I discuss her career journey, having mentors, diversity and inclusion, negotiation, and many other things. This discussion is framed around her talk, “Babysitting to the Boardroom”.
Here are the Babysitting to the boardroom 5 points:
- The Amy Cuddy Effect: Posture makes perfect *Power posing
- Communication Skills: Arrive prepared but not rehearsed
- Relentless Optimism: Seeing the bright side in every challenge
- All the Feels: Empathy as a leadership skill
- Always be learning: Gaining skills and experience from traditional and unlikely places
Connect with Cydney on LinkedIn, https://www.linkedin.com/in/cydneypeytonwalton/

*I didn’t know when this was recorded, that I would end up hosting an event for Jacqueline Twillie’s book launch, “Don’t leave Money on the Table!”, on Black Women’s Equal Pay Day! If you are in the Dallas area, make sure you come out on August 22nd, to The Riveter. There will be a panel discussion on negotiation (I'll be moderating) and more. Go to blackwomensequalpayday.eventbrite.com for more information and tickets.

1 hr 9 min - Worry about yourself!
In this episode, I cover what I think are fundamental core starting points to true success (in relationships, work, etc):
Self-Awareness
- This life is a journey to learn yourself, be honest with what you find out in your discovery process
- Don’t look at things as good and bad traits...they just are what they are
- When you find blind spots or gaps, make note of them and begin your process to work on those things
Self-Education
- Once you discover gaps or areas that need improvement (in work, personal relationships, etc), taking your education in your own hands
- Ways of self-educating: Reading books, taking courses, going to conferences, attending workshops or trainings
- No one is going to prioritize your learning if you don’t
Personal Responsibility/Accountability
- Yes, there will be times were others are definitely to blame for something, but blaming ultimately gets you nowhere
- You have control of your response, your reactions, your words, etc...We have more power than we give ourselves credit for
- Look for how YOU’ve contributed to every situation, that’s a great start to authenticity
- The more you work on this, the less painful it’s is
