Inspiration & Strategy at Your Fingertips

I have been a featured expert in national publications and leadership books including “Speaking of Success” along with celebrity authors Stephen Covey, Ken Blanchard and Jack Canfield (Insight Publishing) and more recently “Game Changers: Women Who Make a Difference” (Red Penguin Books).

As one of the co-authors of “The Little Black Book of Success: Laws of Leadership for Black Women” (Random House) and its companion Workbook, our words have helped thousands of women and men navigate thorny issues in their careers and personal life.

The Little Black Book of Success

Nominated for the NAACP Literary Award, rich with wisdom, this practical gem focuses on the building blocks of true leadership—self-confidence, effective communication, collaboration, and courage—while dealing specifically with stereotypes (avoid the Mammy Trap, and don’t become the Angry Black Woman) and the perils of self-victimization (don’t assume that every challenge occurs because you are black or female).
