our mission

At TDG, leadership isn't just a title, it's a mindset

We help today's and tomorrow’s leaders, organizations, and communities communicate smarter, plan better, and lead stronger through strategic facilitation, innovative program development, impactful coaching, and comprehensive training.

Our vision is clear: To see today's and tomorrow’s leaders disrupt the ordinary.

LET'S GET TO WORK

Our approach

We blend bold honesty with deep empathy. Our (emp)ACT Methodology doesn’t just teach leadership—it creates lasting transformation by meeting you where you are, uncovering blind spots, and designing solutions tailored to your culture. Through coaching, facilitation, and systems that actually work, we help you stop spinning in frustration and start building the organization you deserve.

Here's what makes TRACOMM DEVELOPMENT GROUP different

We're not just about checking boxes or following formulas. Each service is grounded in our signature (emp)ACT methodology, because we understand that true transformation requires both head and heart. We deliver solutions that are empathetic enough to resonate, masterful enough to drive change, practical enough to stick, and authentic enough to matter. We bring together the essential elements of people, processes, and programs, then apply our expertise to create something truly remarkable.

We've seen it happen time and time again. Organizations that invest in their people, fine-tune their processes, and build purposeful programs don't just survive – they thrive. They create cultures where innovation isn't just encouraged, it's inevitable. Where leadership isn't just a title, it's a way of being.

Every year around this time, I get real quiet. Not because I’m sad — but because I’m sitting in deep gratitude.

For this life I’m building.
For the work I get to do.
For the people who have poured into me, pushed me, prayed for me, and partnered with me on this wild journey.

Entrepreneurship will stretch you.
Leadership will humble you.
Growth will show you exactly who you are and who you’re becoming.

And listen — I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Two years into running TraComm full time and I’m still amazed that this is my life. That God trusted me with this assignment. That people trust me with their rooms, their teams, their stories.

So tonight I’m reflecting. I’m giving thanks. And I’m holding space for what’s next.

This work isn’t just about communication.
It’s about connection.
It’s about culture.
It’s about building something that lasts — with people who lead with heart.

Thank you for being part of this story. I don’t take it lightly.

Happy National Sibling’s Day, @tiff_b_1908!

You’re the 🫒to my🍸

Let’s go ahead and tell the truth — boundaries aren’t just about protecting your peace.

𝘽𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙.

People watch how you move.
They notice how you manage your energy.
They pay attention to what you tolerate — and what you don’t.

And if you don’t have boundaries?
Your team won’t feel like they can have them either.

As a leader, setting boundaries isn’t selfish.
It’s stewardship.

It teaches your team:
— Rest is allowed here.
— Clarity is expected here.
— Respect is non-negotiable here.

Healthy boundaries say:
“𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘴.”

And if I’m being honest?
Some of the best leadership growth I’ve experienced didn’t come from doing more.
It came from saying no on purpose.

Boundaries create culture.
Make sure you’re setting them with intention.

𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟳: 𝗜 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗗𝗼 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲 - 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝟮

Here’s one more thing about my journey and what I know to be powerful about leadership— It’s not just God rocking with me. It’s the people who’ve poured into me, pulled me in, and pushed me forward.

The mentor who gave me truth without sugarcoating it, who called me up and said “𝘏𝘦𝘺, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥? 𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘶𝘱 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵” when others would have let you fade away. (𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲, 𝗥𝗼𝗻)

The sponsor who said my name in rooms I hadn’t even stepped into yet, who fought for my seat at tables where people like me weren’t typically invited. (𝗜’𝗺 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂, @gracelizabeth40 Paulette 𝗮𝗻𝗱 @thecatchgroup -Laura)

That kind of support? It’s sacred. And it’s necessary.

Look, if you’re leading and not lifting, what exactly are you doing?

Leadership isn’t just about your personal success—it’s about how you multiply it. It’s about developing others, opening doors, and advocating even when it costs you something. Even when it means sharing spotlight or opportunity that could’ve been all yours.

Mentorship. Sponsorship. That’s the legacy work. That’s how we change not just careers but generations. And I’m committed to it—because I didn’t get here alone, and I don’t plan to keep the ladder to myself.

We can’t hold onto position, knowledge, and connections like they’re limited resources. Like helping someone else means there’s less for you.

Who are you building up today? Whose name are you mentioning in rooms they haven’t accessed yet? Who’s getting your honest feedback, your strategic introductions?

Let’s talk about what 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 keeps this whole thing moving:

It’s not just strategy.
It’s not just systems.
It’s not even sleep (although I love a nap).

It’s the fact that God is rocking with me.
Like, for real for real.

This business?
It’s not a coincidence.
It’s a calling.

And one of my Top 5 CliftonStrengths is 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳, which basically means:
I move with conviction.
I’m grounded in purpose.
I don’t need to see the full blueprint.

Because when I know who I’m walking with?
I know I’m good.

So every workshop I facilitate, every leader I serve, every program I design, every mic I step behind—it all flows from that divine partnership.
That inner “yes.”
That Spirit-led strategy.

Because when I say I’m building something meaningful, I mean it.
This ain’t ego.
It’s assignment.
It’s alignment.

God and I are co-creating a business that heals, equips, and transforms.

I once had a leader cry in front of us during a really hard season.

Not because she was falling apart, but because she was brave enough to show up fully—as a person, not just a position.

That moment gave me permission to be honest. To say, “𝘐’𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘺.” To ask my team for grace instead of pretending I didn’t need it.

Now? I carry that lesson into every space I teach, train, and coach in:

✨ Authentic leadership doesn’t mean being perfect. It means being present. ✨

𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟯: 𝗔𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗯𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Whew...okay...here it goes.

::Opens up heart and pours it out::

There are times in this business journey when I think, "𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘥𝘰? 𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘰𝘶𝘵?"

There are times when I'm bone-tired, questioning every decision, and wondering if anyone really cares about leadership, communication, and organizational dynamics...blah, blah, blah.

But then, something kicks in. That Delahoussaye fire—the one my grandmother and her four sisters (the original "Dela girls") passed down, the same flame that burns bright in my mother who calls me just to say "𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨; 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵." That unmistakable blend of stubbornness and faith that refuses to let Black women fold when things get hard.

The temptation is real, y'all. Corporate jobs with benefits are practically winking at me from LinkedIn. Security. Structure. Someone else's problems to solve.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁. 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲.

And right when I need it most, a client message will land. Like this one: "𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 [𝘺𝘰𝘶] 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦-𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯."

That isn't just feedback; it's fuel. This entrepreneur life isn't easy; especially when the very thing you're selling is the purpose that's been cultivated within you. Some days it's a straight-up fight. But it's necessary. And I'm so grateful I choose to stay when logic says to run.

If you're in that "should I quit?" season—that messy middle where doubt is louder than your dream—keep going. That fire in your belly isn't random; it's ancestral. It's purpose.

And trust me: Someone's breakthrough is directly tied to your decision not to tap out.

What's calling you to push through today?

𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗜𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘽𝘼𝘿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Confession: I love fixing "bad" communication.

But, most of the time, bad communication isn’t the real issue.

It’s a symptom.

The root cause? That runs deeper.

• Sometimes it’s as simple as a lack of shared language or process.

• Sometimes it’s a lack of trust.

• And, unfortunately, sometimes, the culture itself makes honest communication feel unsafe.

Here’s the truth:

𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙨. 𝙄𝙩 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.

That means stepping back and asking:

— Is our team clear on how we communicate, or are we winging it?

— Do our leaders know what to say and when to listen?

— Do our systems support accountability, or just talk about it?

Here’s a simple process to go beyond the surface:

𝟰 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝗿𝗴

1️⃣ Assess where you are (be honest)

2️⃣ Identify the gaps (culture, systems, behaviors)

3️⃣ Learn the tools that match your mission and goals

4️⃣ Build simple processes to practice them consistently

That last one? That’s where transformation happens.

𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟭: 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲

I didn’t find my voice on a stage. I found it in the shadows of my own damn hesitation.

Many people don’t know that my parents once worried I might struggle to physically speak properly. Fast forward and there I was—voice fully functional but choosing silence in rooms where my words needed to exist.

I found my voice in all the “should’ve said something” moments:

• That meeting where I knew the answer but swallowed it
• Those conversations I replayed at 2am, scripting what I should’ve said
• Every time I waited for invisible permission to take up space

Well, here’s what I learned during the bumps and bruises along my journey:

𝙎𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪.

Your voice isn’t just for cute stories—it’s for strategy, for disruption, for showing the hell up when it matters. Now I use mine everywhere from TEDx stages to Fortune 100 keynotes.

But the real power move? Learning to speak truth without torching relationships. To challenge without crushing. To make space for uncomfortable realities when everyone else is playing nice.

𝗠𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝗻—𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗺𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁.

So tell me: Where are you still holding back? What truth are you sitting on that someone else desperately needs to hear?

Your words have power. Stop hoarding them like they’re not meant to change the world.

April is a special month for me.

💥 My birthday’s around the corner.

🎉 @tracommdg just turned 2.

And I’ve been reflecting—not just on what I’ve built, but who I’ve become in the process.

So starting tomorrow, I’m sharing 11 Days of Voice, Vision & Victory—a celebration, a reflection, and a call to action.

You’ll get stories I’ve never told. Client transformations. Bold truths about leadership and communication. And a few receipts to remind you (+ honestly, me too!) that this voice? It’s been working.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to build something rooted in purpose, sustained by truth, and powered by community—pull up a chair.

Let’s go.

They want us to forget. They want our stories silenced. But Black history isn’t just history—it’s a living, breathing force. And one thing they’ll never take from us? Our voice.

From the coded messages in spirituals to the fiery speeches of our revolutionaries, to the way we turn pain into poetry and protest—our words have always been a tool of liberation.

So let’s be clear: we will not be erased. We will keep speaking, keep telling our stories, keep amplifying voices that refuse to be buried.

This month, I challenge you to use your voice with purpose:
🗣 Tell the stories they tried to erase.
📝 Write the truth, even when it makes people uncomfortable.
🎤 Speak up—at work, at home, in rooms that need to hear it.

Because history only disappears if we let it. And we? We are the narrators of our legacy.

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Y'all, can we get real for a minute?
That bone-deep weariness you're feeling? I feel it too. Some days, it feels like we're trying to move mountains with teaspoons. The news is heavy, social media is wild, and with this alternate timeline we seem to be living in at the moment, it feels like we're further from the dream than ever.

Sitting in church yesterday, @robert_d_white dropped this gem: everything worth fighting for lies beneath the surface. But, we must remain faithful to what we've been called to dig for.

Dr. King didn't wait until he felt ready. He didn't wait until the path was clear. He dug deep and did the work, even when it felt impossible.

So today, I'm challenging us to:

Keep digging; we need each other to keep going

Have the uncomfortable conversations; your voice is needed

Stand up for what's right and true and just; our humanity depends on it

Do our best to build bridges, not walls; true connection is imperative

But here's the beautiful part - we don't have to dig alone. In fact, we can't.

Drop a 🤎 in the comments if you're ready to dig deeper with me.

Confession: I'm an #MAFS stan and every season, these couples give me enough content for a book series! No series, or even a chapter, yet, but I will drop a musing every once in a while.

Y’all, can we talk about last night’s @mafslifetime episode for a second? Because Emem and Ikechi’s nonverbal communication is telling on them—and it’s saying, “We’re over this.” 😬

Let’s break it down:
💔 The Space: They're sitting as far away from each other as possible. When was the last time they sat close?
💔 The Tone: That dismissive “whatever” energy? Loud and clear.
💔 The Eyes: No eye contact. At all. You can’t build connection when you’re avoiding each other’s gaze.

Here’s the thing: you can say you’re willing to 'work on it' all day long, but nonverbal behaviors? They don’t lie. Communication isn’t just about words—it’s about how we show up. And, these two are telling us 'they out.'

What do you think? Are Emem and Ikechi just going through the motions, or is there hope for them? 👀 Let’s hear it in the comments—MAFS fans, I know you’ve got opinions on this one! 👇🔥

✨ Have you ever felt that nudge? The one that whispers, “Stay a little longer. Listen a little closer.”

Yesterday, I almost ignored it. I was tired, ready to head home. But someone came up to me after a meeting wanting to talk privately. In the past, I might have rushed the conversation. But this time, I stayed.

What happened next? An incredible connection with a truly lovely person. Mutual encouragement. A moment that reminded me why communication is so powerful.

Real communication begins with connection. When we listen—really listen—we open the door to relationships and opportunities we never expected.

Next time you feel that nudge, follow it. You never know what gifts you’ll receive. 🌟

Here’s to choosing our words like they matter, listening like it’s an act of love, and embracing every moment—messy and magnificent. Life is a blend, and this vintage? It’s going to be extraordinary.

Today is a day where many will post about Juneteenth. As I think about the historical significance of this holiday, one of my many prayers is that public sentiment won’t stop with a social media post.

May this sentiment

Challenge us to keep fighting for our history to be passed down through generations

Walk with us to the polls to vote for true democracy and freedom, and

Compel us to act in the best interests of all of humanity.

Juneteenth is not just a day. It’s a state of mind and a call to action. May we all heed the call.

Thank you @twucwe for the #WomenOwnedWednesday spotlight!
・・・
This #WomenOwnedWednesday, we celebrate @TracyReneeWilliams, TRACOMM Development Group.

TDG supports organizations in enhancing leadership and talent management through tailored leadership coaching, communication skills development, and customized workshops, retreats, and facilitated meetings. Our approach aims to build stronger leaders and cohesive teams in a supportive environment, leveraging tools like CoreClarity for personalized growth. TraComm’s mission is to transform workplaces into collaborative, inclusive spaces where leadership thrives, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.

What is one thing you’ve learned as a woman-owned business?

One insight I’ve gained from running a woman-owned business is the importance of unapologetically embracing my expertise, skills, and capabilities. Thanks to my coach, Dawnna St. Louis, who encouraged me to step into my power, I’ve learned to recognize and assert the value of my work.

What is one tip you’d give to a woman looking to start her business today?

Don’t hold out for everything to be perfect before you begin. Taking that initial leap into starting your business is more important than waiting for the perfect moment. It’s about having the faith to move forward even when the next steps aren’t clear. James Lowery poses a powerful question, “What are you going to do on Monday morning?” This question is pivotal when launching your own venture—ask yourself, “What action can I take on Monday morning that will move me one step closer to my objective?” This mindset can make all the difference.

How do you support other women-owned businesses?

I firmly believe that success doesn’t happen in isolation. A key way I back other women-owned businesses is by acting as a connector for opportunities. When potential clients reach out to me with needs that fall outside my specialty, I don’t hesitate to direct them to another woman-owned business that’s a perfect fit for their requirements. Holding onto opportunities isn’t my style; instead, I see it as my duty to uplift and support my fellow women entrepreneurs whenever possible.

From 14 years of full-time side hustling to a year full of growth, challenges, and blessings as a full-time entrepreneur. Every step has shown me the power of God’s sovereignty, resilience, and community. ✨

A heartfelt thank you to every client who has trusted TraComm to elevate leadership and communication - your growth is our shared success.

To my family, friends, and mentors, your support means everything and I love you BIG.

And to every Black-owned business navigating this journey, let’s keep breaking barriers and shining bright. The best is truly yet to come, and I can’t wait to see where this path leads us.

Here’s to year one, and to many more filled with impact, growth, and gratitude. Thank you for being part of this journey. ❤️

#OneYearIn #Entrepreneurship #FaithInAction #BlackOwnedBusiness #Leadership #Communication #Gratitude #TheBestIsYetToCome

This Valentine's Day, I have a quick challenge for you: let's embrace the power of empathy and curiosity to deepen our connections across all aspects of our lives.

Here's how we can start:

At Home: "How can I show love to you?" Dive into understanding and fulfilling the unique needs of our loved ones, creating moments of genuine connection.

At Work: "How can I show appreciation?" Acknowledge and celebrate each individual's contributions, fostering a culture of recognition and value.

In the Community: "How can I serve you?" Commit our time and energy to support and uplift our communities, making them stronger and more inclusive.

When we communicate with empathy and curiosity, we do more than just exchange information; we build bridges. We create spaces where people feel safe to express their needs and dreams. This Valentine's Day, let's commit to asking these questions with an open heart, ready to strengthen our connections and enhance our shared outcomes. Because at the end of the day, it's through these acts of understanding and kindness that we make the world a little brighter for everyone.

Yesterday, while sipping an excellent sangria, I was asked ‘what does the highest and best version of yourself look like?’

I paused for a few moments and let the conversation continue around me. Then it hit me, and I said:

‘I need to practice more of what I preach and say what I’m thinking, feeling, and express what I want without thinking so much about the response or reaction of others.’

My highest and best version of myself includes leaning into the words, feelings, behaviors, actions, decisions, requests, and challenges that are untarnished by external expectations and societal limitations.

My dear sister-friend said, ‘hmmm…you want to live with an unfiltered heart.’

And, that my friends, is exactly it. 2023 was about taking steps of faith that led to a deeper understanding of who I am and how I’m meant to live out my purpose authentically.

Now it’s time to exercise that authenticity by living with an unfiltered heart. So, here’s to 2024:

A year of living without limitation.

A year of living #unfilitered.

Last Thursday was an incredible experience:

Personal stories were the headliners

Transparency and vulnerability were the supporting stars

And, they were masterfully woven together by 5 incredible women who were bold enough to present them.

It was my honor to facilitate this experience at the @txdiversity Women in Ledership Symposium at @texaschristianuniversity. Thank you for the opportunity to unapologetically celebrate women, our stories, and our impact.

Next year, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of WILS - I promise you won’t want to miss this.

Almost 15 years ago, I sat in the audience at my first @txdiversity Greater Fort Worth Women in Leadership Symposium. I was a new Assistant Director at the @tcu_neeleyschool and I was so excited to be in the room. I was also in awe of the range of topics and of the candor and vulnerability each panelist displayed.

I also remember thinking, ‘I want to be on that stage one day.’

‘One day’ is here, and I’m so grateful for this full circle moment where I’m returning to @texaschristianuniversity as the moderator for the 2023 Greater Fort Worth Women in Leadership Symposium.

Join us on Thursday, November 30th, and hear 5 incredible women share their insights and experiences with you. And, yours truly, will get to do one of her favorite things - ask a TON of questions.

See you there!

Conversations are hard y’all.

Over the last couple of months, I’ve responded to texts, had mini coaching sessions in the hallway, and even analyzed reality tv relationships - all because of the same issue: we don’t know how to talk to each other.

Conversations are hard, but they’re not impossible. Let me know in the comments what questions you have, challenges you’re faced with, or goals you want to accomplish that require you to talk a little differently.

(You can send a dm to remain anonymous)

I’ll be answering these questions via live or video as they come in.
