How many times has this happened? You’re working on a report. You polished the visuals, showing the insights in elegant detail. You reworked some tables to be more concise, and it’s almost perfect! It’s also a week late.

Welcome Back

Today I was inspired to continue to write on my blogs and to create a creative space in which I can express the lessons that I have learned over my short time in the professional and mentor arena. A part of my goal is to express how one can help others become successful in their own journey through life. With the renewed energy I will work on posting in my different Blogs but ensuring that those who are following will have the opportunity to learn a lesson or two and be able to share what they have learned with me. Please keep on following.... To be continued

NABA, Inc SNEW Chapter: Event meet and greet the Student Members

 

September 15, 2007 @ the University of Bridgeport, Bridgeport CT

 

It was a pleasure to be involved with the young student members of our organization. It is important for me to see that there are young people who are looking for the opportunities to network with professionals. The professionals have many years of experience between us. We range from entry level to senior management. This level of experience is great for our student members to see and be in contact.

 

I see the professionals as having the potential to be mentors to the student members and giving the students some information on how to conduct themselves in the business world. I am glad to be part of this organization because I do truly believe in giving back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Professional Learning and Conferences:

Over the last few days I was able to attend my first professional conference. The conference was sponsored by the National Black MBA Association. The topis was Catalyst for Change.

Now as a person who loves to evolve over the course of a day, I was really interested in what I could possibly learn from the conference. As I sit and watch other people give presentations, discuss, captivate, motivate, and provide a deeper insight into the person, I wondered why not me?

I do feel that attending this conference has made my management and leadership style better. I look forward to attending other type of development conferences. These will definitly help me in my career. I also look forward to doing more research so that I can finally finish writing my book. However, I will start with expressing my thoughts on leadership topics on this and other blogs.

Welcome to the birth of my legacy....
