✨ How often do you truly invite your team into the conversation? ✨ As leaders, creating intentional spaces for two-way dialogue isn't just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for engagement and growth. When we create these spaces, we’re not just solving problems—we’re building a culture of trust, collaboration, and, most importantly, joyful leadership. #JoyfulLeadership #IntentionalLeadership #TeamEngagement #InclusiveLeadership #LeadWithPurpose #EmployeeVoice #MarissaLevin #MarissaInternational

Leveraging the Mentorship Factor for Effective Book Writing Dr. Michael Koku, November 2024 Author’s Forum. The Mentorship Ripple Effect: A Legacy of Growth Mentorship is more than guidance—it's a catalyst for transformation. By gaining wisdom and support from a mentor, you become empowered to inspire others. In book writing, this ripple effect turns your words into a legacy, impacting countless lives. The MENTORSHIP Advantage Using the sticky acronym MENTORSHIP, mentorship becomes a powerful tool for crafting your book: *M = Motivation: Mentors ignite the spark that pushes you beyond writer’s block and self-doubt, fueling your passion and purpose. *E = Expanded Perspectives: Mentors help you see through diverse lenses, enriching your narrative with depth and empathy. *N = Networking Opportunities: Mentors connect you with agents, editors, and publishers, opening doors you can’t alone. T = Transfer [Wisdom Transfer]: Mentors share proven strategies and insights, equipping you with tools to excel. *O = Observation: By observing mentors, you learn how to emulate their storytelling and publishing success. *R = Relationship: Trust and mutual respect create a safe space for growth and creative exploration. *S = Support: Mentors guide you through challenges, offering structure, clarity, and resilience. *H = Honest Feedback: Constructive critique polishes your work, elevating it to excellence. *I = Inspiration: Mentors fuel bold dreams and help you find your unique voice. *P = Personal Growth: Mentorship accelerates both your writing skills and professional confidence. Mentors: Architects of Success Mentors are your book’s architects, helping lay its foundation and shaping it into a masterpiece. As Shawn Hitchcock says, “A mentor empowers a person to see a possible future and believe it can be achieved.” Charting the Course with a Mentor Think of your mentor as your navigator, guiding you through the uncharted waters of book writing. As Denzel Washington noted, “Show me a successful individual, and I’ll show you someone with real positive influences.” With mentorship, your journey transforms from daunting to inspiring, with every step bringing you closer to success. Mentorship in book writing doesn’t just produce books; it builds legacies. #mentorship #bookwriting #mentorshipfactor #lampglobalcommunity

You are looking at the yin and yang of social change. If you do not know Osa Atoe, you been missing out.  Sis is a punk’ rockin’ ceramist whose work is among the most elegant, consistent, and resonant I have seen.  She is deeply generative and curates Kaabo Clay Collective, ​​a mutual aid network for Black ceramic artists around the world. My organizational systems change work is in a different media.  It too includes lots of reshaping, collapsing, and heat to shape vessels for change.  We too get messy in the process.  Like Osa, I cannot see myself doing anything else. We’ve had a clay-ship for a few years and finally had the opportunity to meet this week when I was in Sarasota, Florida.  Having had a few Zoom meetings and phone calls, we were not new to each other and fell right into step.  I got to visit her studio, meet her family, and break bread as we explored so many dimensions of what it means to be a self-possessed Black woman. To all of us Sistahs out here doing this creative work - whatever it may look like- please do not forget to bring beauty in your life daily.  Partnerships with other creatives brings ease, grace, and durability to what can otherwise become a grind. Agreed? Who are some of the like-minded creatives in your life? Tag them below. #BlackWomen #Creativity #Art #RacialEquity #Inclusion #Belonging

I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the most amazing people. We have navigated some of the most challenging contracts, facilitated sensitive spaces, trained some of the most divisive groups, and worked through our own triggers, trauma, and internal challenges. We have lost team members, had to shut down operations for a period of time, and have still, somehow managed to show up with all of our hearts. We have shared some vulnerable and honest moments. All because we take the time to reflect on the Cultivating Safe Spaces framework, have asked ourselves “how am I showing up, who am I in all this and what is on my heart and what and how am I contributing to this space?” I don’t know many workspaces or professional spaces that have the capability to show up with this amount of vulnerability and most of all, accountability to show up when challenged. Leadership requires you to show up and listen when you’ve been challenged. If you are unable to do that, it’s time to question whether you’re driven to lead with love and support or fear and ego.

This is true because we are all influenced and shaped by the cultures in which we live. That is why any effective #womensleadership development program has to grapple with that. It has to help people uncover themselves deeply, unpack power dynamics so they can redefine the paradigm, and to help them embrace their responsibilities to other women’s advancement.

Should you consider executive coaching? A coach acts as a guide while you create a plan, define outcomes and experiments to move your thinking forward. They serve as a facilitator to help you ask better questions, and explore your own answers. Good coaching provides actionable insight and opportunity for growth based on specific areas you intend to improve; be it better decision-making, problem-solving, or conflict management and negotiation. Not every situation an executive faces requires a coach, but having a coach available for every situation is valuable.
