Many people ask me how I became a speaker! I had a great mentor. His name is Dr. Robert Watkins. I met Dr. Watkins in 2004. We were introduced through a mutual friend. I emailed Dr. Watkins and asked him if he would “invest some time” with me. Within a week, I was in his (...)
{Caution, this blog is a Friday morning rant but it’s intended to be a teaching moment, enjoy!} When you comes to sharing on social media, I have noticed a pattern!

If you are a conference junkie, you can find a conference (or workshop) to attend every day of the week. Be it live or virtual if you just want to be at a conference, they are a dime a dozen and just about everyone has one going on. With that being said, I am very selective (...)
Many years ago someone told me, “If you want to know what God thinks of you, look at the kind of pastor He gives to you!” In my 40+ years of living, I have to say that I have had the honor and privilege to have some pretty awesome pastors who have played a huge (...)

Managing people and process has never been an easy task especially when everyone involved in the process is NOT following the same END OF PRODUCTION DATE!
