Golden Global Enterprises

Empathy is letting your heart break for someone else—and choosing to stay in the room anyway. Real leadership isn’t about performance. It’s not about looking compassionate—it’s about being there when it counts. Sitting in the discomfort. Witnessing someone’s pain without rushing to fix, dismiss, or distance yourself. In my last Global Golden newsletter edition, I wrote about the death of performative leadership—how people are exhausted by leaders who say all the right things but never actually show up. Empathy isn’t a strategy. It’s a decision. A presence. A willingness to break open with people, not just for them. And that’s the kind of leadership we need more of. Be Healed.

Let’s be real—too many of us are burning out while trying to change the world. ?? Public health professionals are exhausted. ?? Advocates are overworked. ?? Black women in leadership carry the weight of entire systems. We talk about equity in public health, but what about equity in rest, in care, in work-life balance? If we don’t prioritize the well-being of the people doing the work, who will be left to lead? Tomorrow at 1PM PST, I’m sitting down with Dr. Nicole D. Vick, MPH, CHES, a powerhouse in public health, leadership, and civic engagement, to talk about: ? The mental & emotional toll of being in service-oriented leadership. ? Why workplace wellness must be a public health priority. ? How Black women and professionals of color can set boundaries & protect their peace. ?? Tomorrow | 1 PM PST ??

Excellent conversation!!! Bravo Carroll Brown, PsyD

What does it really mean to lead with purpose? For so many of us, leadership isn’t just about climbing the ranks—it’s about impact, resilience, and making sure the door stays open for those coming after us. But let’s be real—Black men in leadership face unique challenges. We often have to work twice as hard to be seen, we don’t always have the mentorship we need, and the pressure to succeed can feel overwhelming. That’s why I’m sitting down with Carroll Brown, PsyD for a powerful conversation about transformational leadership, overcoming barriers, and why mentorship is essential to building real legacies. ?? Thursday, February 6 | 1 PM PST ??? Live on YouTube & LinkedIn ?? RSVP Here: https://lnkd.in/g-zTpQmy What We’ll Be Talking About: ?? What really makes a great leader—beyond the titles and accolades. ?? How Black men can navigate leadership spaces that weren’t built for us. ?? The role mentorship & community play in making sure we succeed together. ?? How Dr. Brown is using his experience to mentor young Black men & future leaders. Because real leaders don’t just succeed—they make sure others do too. I’d love for you to join us in this conversation. Tag a future leader who needs to be in the room for this! ?? #Leadership #MentorshipMatters #GoldenliteTalks #TransformationalLeadership #BlackMenInLeadership #LegacyBuilding #PurposeDriven
