Tune in to this dynamic conversation with Monique Pearson, international motivational speaker, mindset coach, military strategist, veteran and travel expert and travelpreneur.  We discuss critical leadership skills that we can learn from Madame Vice President, Soon-To-Be-President Kamala Harris.  Yes, we said it.  And we are standing on business. This year started off with a bang, and many attacks on Black women in high places of leadership from the rise and fall of Dr. Claudine Gray to the continuous active erosion of fundamental civil rights progress, we quickly saw VP Kamala Harris reignite the Hope of America with her unique background that helped her make an unlikely political ascension from District Attorney to now just a heartbeat away from the most powerful position in the world.  Against all odds, we discuss the unique power and preparation that we can all harness to rise in our own spheres of influence and to be our authentic selves.  Ladies, it’s time to “Pop Out” and show the world who you have always been in this pulsating conversation to help you walk in who you are, who you were called to be, and who you are becoming.  You betta walk! https://www.soaringwolimits.com/ #corporate #blackwomeninbusiness #workforce #futureofwork #career #careerdevelopment #blackjobs #blackauthors #blackwallstreet #blackentrepreneurship #cominginhot #richblackwoman #blackwomen #wealth #KamalaHarris #boss #professionaldevelopment #culturallycompetentadvice #blackbooks #blackwomenauthors #careertips #careeradvice #liverichly #richblackwoman #whenwefightwewin #travel #military #blackveterans #blackwomentravel #motivation #moniquepearson #speaker #bestsellingauthor #swole
