I am beyond grateful for our amazing partnership with the Kapor Center, which has been instrumental in the success of BIA on the Hill 2024. Working closely with Lili Gangas and the entire Kapor Center team has been a truly inspiring experience. Their unwavering passion for creating equitable innovations, developing supportive policies, and building tools that empower diverse entrepreneurs is nothing short of remarkable. From day one, I’ve been drawn to the Kapor Center’s dedication to ensuring that Black, Indigenous, and Latinx entrepreneurs receive the visibility and support they deserve in the broader innovation economy. Together, we’ve not only fostered meaningful discussions at the CBCF Annual Legislative Conference but also implemented initiatives that drive real change and open up new opportunities for underrepresented communities. A special shoutout to Nathan Jones for his insightful contribution to our second panel, "Scaling for Success: Technologies, Strategies & Policies to Elevate Black Entrepreneurship." Nathan’s expertise and dedication were pivotal in shaping the conversation and providing valuable strategies to elevate Black-owned businesses. The impact of our collaboration is evident in the strides we’ve made toward a more inclusive tech ecosystem. By amplifying the voices of those who are often unseen, we are paving the way for a future where diversity and innovation go hand in hand. A heartfelt thank you to Lili Gangas, Nathan Jones, Allison Scott, Ph.D., Patrick Armstrong, and the entire Kapor Center team for your continued dedication and for being such incredible partners in this journey. Your commitment to equity and empowerment truly makes a difference, and I am excited to see what we will achieve together moving forward. Together, we are building a tech landscape that celebrates and supports the diverse voices of tomorrow. #Gratitude #Partnership #Equity #Innovation #BlackEntrepreneurs #BIAOnTheHill #KaporCenter #DiversityInTech #TechPolicy #InclusiveFuture #Empowerment #ScalingForSuccess #DecadeofBlackInnovation

Business leaders are starting the last quarter of 2024 with plans to finish strong and strategize for 2025, but the most important thing we can do is take care of ourselves to be empowered to extend care and direction for our teams and organizations. When we take time to factor our mental, physical, and professional well-being into our planning, we set ourselves up for success and model a mindset of self-care and good habits to our teams. Six important strategies for transformational leadership and employee well-being to keep us all on the right track: 1. Supercharge your strategic planning with mental clarity 2. Protect yourself by setting boundaries 3. Elevate your leadership with emotional intelligence 4. Build a strong support network 5. Master the art of strategic delegation 6. Foster a culture of well-being in your team #EmployeeWellbeing #EmotionalIntelligence #TransformationalLeadership

In Part 2 of the Leaders in Tech Podcast, Burke and David emphasize the importance of strategic partnerships for growth: align business models with market gaps and delegate critical needs to unlock growth. Both highlight the delicate balance between personal passion and practicality, to ensure that business ambitions align with family priorities and personal fulfillment. Their resilience and unwavering commitment to core values serve as guiding principles for overcoming challenges. Ultimately, their journeys offer a blueprint for CEOs to build teams that share their vision, stretch their comfort zones, and create businesses that blend purpose, passion, and success. #leadership #ceo #business 👀Read more>>> https://lnkd.in/e4_dU2zn
