?? Trust Your Gut – It Might Just Change Your Life! Early in my career, I was advised not to take a certain opportunity. Logically, it made sense to follow that advice—but something deep inside told me otherwise. I listened to my intuition, and that decision led me to discover my true passion. Intuition isn’t just a feeling; it’s a superpower in business and life. When you learn to trust it, you open doors to authentic success and fulfillment. I dive into this in my latest blog: Listening to Your Intuition: A Must-Have for Success ?? https://lnkd.in/gdnnMuqD Have you ever followed your intuition against the odds? I’d love to hear your story in the comments! ??? #Intuition #SuccessMindset #AuthenticLeadership

???? Spooky alert! ???? I had the absolute pleasure of being interviewed for student-produced video about the Whitewater Spirit Tour —a one-of-a-kind experience that explores the haunted history of Whitewater along with other spooky Wisconsin towns! ????? Every October, the Spirit Tour dives into the legends, mysteries, and eerie past of this fascinating town (and yes, there are some spine-tingling stories!). I've been volunteering for the Whitewater Spirit Tour for the past three years, and I LOVE it. Why? Because getting involved in your community—whether through events, local businesses, or unique traditions—creates deeper connections and makes where you live and work even more special. As business owners and professionals, our impact extends beyond our day-to-day work. Supporting local events, collaborating with others, and embracing the culture of our towns can help us grow, network, and make a real difference. ?? Huge shoutout to the talented students at MATC-Milwaukee for putting this together for a class project. Their storytelling skills and passion shine through! If you love history, ghost stories, or just want a fun fall adventure, check out the video and start planning your Whitewater visit this October! ???? ??

Ramadan: A Time for Reflection, Resilience, and Renewal in the Workplace ??? As Ramadan begins, millions around the world embark on a month of discipline, mindfulness, and renewal—principles that are just as relevant in the workplace as they are in personal growth. For professionals observing Ramadan, this is a time of deep focus, intentionality, and balance. Fasting is not just about abstaining from food or drink; it is a practice in mental clarity, resilience, and self-mastery—skills that enhance both personal and professional performance. As leaders, colleagues, and organizations, we can foster a culture of inclusion and support by: ? Offering flexibility in schedules to honor energy levels ? Encouraging mindfulness and focused productivity ? Cultivating empathy and understanding among teams Whether you observe Ramadan or not, we can all take inspiration from its essence: ?? Where can we simplify and refocus our priorities? ?? How can we build resilience and lead with intention? ?? What opportunities do we have to support well-being in our teams? To those observing, Ramadan Mubarak—may this month bring you clarity, peace, and success. To all, let’s use this time to embrace mindful leadership, peak performance, and well-being in the workplace. #RamadanMubarak #WorkplaceWellness #MindfulLeadership #ResilientTeams #PeakPerformance

This afternoon, I gave a talk through the Gies College of Business - University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign titled The Success Mindset and shared this quote.? Imposter Syndrome happens to just about all of us at some point in our lives. When you can spot it and remember your worth and capabilities, it is easier to overcome that negative voice in your head telling you that you are not enough or will never measure up to everyone else in the room. You are not a fraud. You have the ability to do extraordinary things. The first step is believing that! #impostersyndrome #mindsetcoach #SuccessMindset #knowyourworth

?? The Door to Success is Open—Will You Walk Through? ?? For so long, I believed I was stuck—trapped by circumstances, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs. I thought success was just out of reach, blocked by invisible barriers. But then I realized… the only thing holding me back was me. The truth is, the cage was never locked. The chains were never real. The door to growth, abundance, and success has always been open. The only thing keeping me in place was my belief that I had to stay. This happens so often in our careers and businesses—we get stuck in roles that don’t fulfill us, limit our earning potential, or drain our energy. We tell ourselves we can’t pivot, can’t grow, can’t take that next leap. But what if that’s just a story we’ve been telling ourselves? So, I made a choice. I let go of the excuses. I stopped waiting for permission. I walked out. I went after my own dreams. What’s keeping you stuck? Is it fear of failure? Fear of success? A belief that you’re not ready? The door is open. The opportunities are there. The only question is—will you step through? #SuccessMindset #BreakThroughBarriers #Leadership #MindsetShift #YouAreNotStuck #BusinessGrowth #CareerSuccess #EntrepreneurMindset

Closing Black History Month: Carrying the Legacy Forward ? As Black History Month comes to a close, let’s remember that the lessons, resilience, and achievements we’ve honored don’t end here—they inspire us every day. Madam C.J. Walker, the first self-made female millionaire in America, once said: "Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them." ???? Her entrepreneurial spirit reminds us to take bold action, break barriers, and create our own success in business and beyond. Let’s carry this momentum forward—building businesses, careers, and lives that uplift and inspire. What legacy are you creating? Let’s keep the conversation going! ??? ? #BlackHistoryMonth #LegacyOfExcellence #WomenInBusiness #MindsetMatters #KeepBuilding
