"Leadership is challenging, but the rewards of making a meaningful difference are unparalleled. Embrace your individuality, cultivate self-awareness & commit to leading with authenticity. You'll thrive as a leader & inspire those around you to achieve their best." @calmleadership.bsky.social

Leadership strategies: "I do not think one can talk about 'right' or 'wrong', as these things are largely subjective. What you can establish, though, is what is right for you. In order to be the best leader you can be, it's important to know what type of leader you are." @calmleadership.bsky.social

"When I define who I am, in order to be the truest & most authentic version of myself I must embrace my Black culture...When we bring our rich heritage, values & stories into our leadership style, we foster innovation, inspire others & create inclusive environments." @calmleadership.bsky.social
