This is a post about how being known for being known offers no value in what you are. Be known for having character to do something extraordinary. That should say it all.

Mentorship

This morning I realized how important it is in my development and growth to have mentors, and lots of them. They help to build and reveal the path that is awaiting you on your journey. I always joke with my very close “life mentor” Justin Foster (my first IntelliGENT) that he is my secondary dad….

IntelliGENT-LADY

On March 25, 2015 a wonderful and beautiful woman named Beverly Money-Luke-Bender passed away and left the world heartbroken, and also left a legacy that bound those hearts together. I am honored to remember my grandmother as my next IntelliGENT-LADY. She was a model grandmother that any grandchild could ask for. I was spoiled by…

Millennial Myths: Debunked

Millennials are weird. Me being one of them, I can contest to this statement. We are always looking for something new, something worth pursuing. We hop around from job to job, we give off the wrong impression to the older generations. There are myths buzzing around about us, and debunkers proving these myths wrong. Some…

Misguided Approach

The evening began with a magician. If that doesn’t set the stage for the evening being a trick, I don’t know what other red flags could have given it away. He didn’t seem confident, but then again, he was an illusionist. My expectations were very low, so I stayed for the main speaker. The speaker…

Don’t Let Us Millennials Take Over

I know that we are huge in numbers entering into the work force, and we offer a new perspective on things. Yes, we are all about new ideas and new strategies. But don’t be misguided by our ingenuity as an egotistical entitlement. Not all of us feel entitled. I know I have to work to…

My Passion About Authentic People

Scarcity drives the economy, I get that. However, in an economy that is ever changing and evolving toward the human capital aspect, you lose when everyone around you are not authentic in their approach. When I search Goog photos for “authenticity”, a large portion of authentic people are depicted as one in a million. This…

Authentic Bacon. Bacony Authenticity

I am dancing on the tip of the iceberg with this topic: Authenticity. A few days ago I was sitting at a table full of thought leaders and genuine innovators by trade. Someone brought up the topic of authenticity and I became giddy inside. Someone asked my opinion on the subject and I am pretty…

Kay See

Having the ability to see the obvious, and listen to the needs of people is something that seems so common sense. Turns out it isn’t. To surprise yourself it has to come from within. Anything external that I have done doesn’t tend to surprise me. I see it coming. It’s a series of events that…

Connect

Unless you are holding a knife and hiding behind a latex mask, I am pretty sure I want to meet you. My number one love language is TOUCH. It get’s me in trouble sometimes only because I make people feel uncomfortable when I touch them. But I can assure you, it’s not weird, It’s just me…

Our Mindset

For most of us, we downplay and hide our gifts from the world. Unworthy of sharing them with those that need them most. We tell ourselves that we will never amount to anything. We hide in the confines of the four walls of security, with a bolted door to lock us in. The more I…

The Time for Growth

This year I have heard many terms that are too cliche and redundant. “New year, new you!” “This year is going to be different!” The only original idea that I have come in contact with thus far in 2015 is this: This will be a year of growth I can actually relate to that. So…
