Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S8E22: Leveraging Strategic Self-Advocacy with Sarah Boyd
Q: What does strategic self-advocacy mean to you, and is it different from simply speaking up?
It's about anchoring advocacy in landscape awareness—political, economic, technological, and social—so you know when and how to act, including when silence is strategic and when speaking up is necessary to protect your value and resources.
S8E27: Moving Beyond Titles with Suezette Yasmin Robotham
Q: What signs indicate someone is out of alignment with their values at work?
Body signals such as dread, fatigue, headaches, and gut feelings often precede conscious awareness, signaling misalignment before mental or emotional cues become clear.
S8E27: Moving Beyond Titles with Suezette Yasmin Robotham
Q: How should leaders begin to think about themselves in terms of skills rather than titles?
Begin with values, then derive core skills from those values, which helps people see themselves as capability-driven contributors rather than defined by a title.
S8E27: Moving Beyond Titles with Suezette Yasmin Robotham
Q: What does the phrase Black woman leading mean to you?
It means recognizing leadership as rooted in community, service, and clear access-building for others, and embracing leadership that centers authentic voice and discernment beyond traditional titles.
S8E26: Defining Your Executive Presence with Shaquanna Chappelle
Q: What does the phrase Black Woman Leading mean to you?
It means owning your voice, projecting confidence, and showing up in your own power rather than shrinking to fit expectations.
