It's currently happening to me, I'm sharing with you my Fanomies FIRST!

Knowledge is gathered from learning and education, while most say that wisdom is gathered from day-to-day experiences and is a state of being wise. Knowledge is merely having clarity of facts and truths, while wisdom is the practical ability to make consistently good decisions in life. Wisdom can improve your life in all aspects: physical, emotional, mental, and financial. Learning from your experiences and the experiences of others and sharing that wisdom are vital to your survival and the s...

You usually don't hear from this serial killer boss until something is wrong. Not only do lazy leaders negatively affect their subordinates, but their actions (or lack thereof) also run through the entire organization right down to the bottom line. Laziness is a choice. You can do nothing, or you can do something--the choice is yours. Own your power to choose, act on it, and do something today that you can be proud of tomorrow.

This serial killer boss will throw his or her subordinates under the bus at any moment. They lack loyalty, compassion, and connectivity. They are reactive not proactive, and they are also habitual liars.

The passive-aggressive boss makes life in the workplace very difficult for their employees, by making it challenging and stressful to the point of exhaustion. Ever worked for someone who sent constant mixed signals? Ever left a meeting feeling like you were just run over by a train? You may have a passive aggressive boss.

The micromanager is probably the most infamous of all the bad bosses. They reality is they suffocate people and they know it and they tend to believe it is a necessary evil. The most frequent motivations for micromanagement are emotional insecurity, doubts regarding employee competence, or addiction to specific orders. Severe forms of micromanagement can stifle opportunities for the learning and development of interpersonal skills, completely eliminate trust, and even provoke ant...

New bosses must focus on building a team, not creating good individual relationships. It is very common for new managers to want to work toward getting their reports to like them. When new managers focus solely on the friendly connection, they neglect a fundamental aspect of effectual leadership, wherein a leader will employ the collective power of the group to improve individual performance and dedication. 1. Think you know everything. “As much as it may stroke your ego, to believe you kno...

Bullies are voracious opportunists. They usually select their targets for various reasons. It may be because you’re good at your job, popular with your colleagues, clients, customers; any of the aforementioned could make you a target for a Bully. In the end, a Bully fears the exposure of his or her own inadequacy or incompetence, and your presence, competence, and popularity unwittingly agitates those fears.

Our guest’s tonight are all men that I know personally. No matter how often we see each other or speak, I have known each of these men to be talking about their kids, beaming with pride about their babies. I think it’s high time we speak about Co-Parenting from a Dad’s perspective and experience. If you don’t think this is about leadership, you couldn’t be more wrong. There is no leadership role more important than that of a father. Both parents play an in...

"If I didn't define myself for myself I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive." -Audre Lorde In this episode our host Kimbretta takes some time to share with us from her personal journal entries about how she took time to learn, explore, and elevate how she shows up in her romantic relationships. As she always says, leadership starts with yourself; and she isn't exempt from that. After repeat heartbreaks and numerous situation-ships that never bec...

3 Common Cracks in the Black Business Model: 1. Absence of Proper Planning, Preparation 2. Having the right team around you (accountant, attorney, inspectors, SME) 3. Lacking Business Savvy (Integrity, Ethics, Professionalism-who we hire), Customer Care-Service) 4. Inclusivity is not Selling Out. This is a notion/mindset that must be transformed. Being afraid to create a product/business that solves for a universal need can be a ...

There are an awful lot of people running around believing and claiming to be someone who “keeps it real” but in most cases they are doing anything but “keeping it 100.” In honor of keeping it 100 tonight, let us all recognize that getting to the truth is journey, not an easy one either. It takes time, and it starts with being honest with SELF-FIRST. Generally, people are much more comfortable telling someone else about themselves or their life or behaviors; but cannot manage...

Your present awareness of who you are can and will shift, for good or bad, as you change, grow up and experience things in life. Going through an “Identity Crisis” doesn’t make you a bad person, it means you’re human. However, you become a leader in your own life when you can see those identity shifts in yourself, and take action that re-align your identity, and self-awareness with the greatness that you are. You are not what you have been through. In this episode I r...

The saying stands true. If you are hurting in any way, on any level, you can guarantee you are hurting others whether you recognize it or not. Healing is so important. It's not a cliche or fad, it is a necessary work that is a journey not a destination. On today's episode I sit down with my Sister (Hey Sissy!) and we talk about hurt, the pain she is has endured and the pain she has dealt. Me and Sissy can talk about anything, and this time we let you guys listen ...

Ever wonder why people get so defensive (or mad) when you talk to them about something they did that offended you? We can’t control others’ reactions or actions. All we can do is “control” us and try to tailor our delivery in the best possible way. Gaining insight around this widespread issue will help us all better tailor our reactions to this type of behavior. I know for me, this is a huge pet peeve, issue, annoyance, etc. Being defensive when confronted, playing the blame...

I self-published my first book a few years ago entitled, 'Bosses Who Kill'. I initially planned for my second episode to speak on excerpts from my book. However, George Floyd was murdered just two days before my recording session; and I just couldn't not talk about it. I am a firm believer that the new age serial killers show up as leaders in every workforce you can imagine, teachers, police, doctors, nurses, athletes, sport franchises, etc, etc. People, who have been ...
