• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for having man. Absolutely thank you
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: for being on my show. You're an amazing person of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: our relationship ship started several years ago at the Disney
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Dreamer's Academy with Stephen Deep Harvey. I found it with
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the Disney and will fly one hundred kids from around
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the country, um, boys and girls. Unlike the boys camp
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: we had, which was only featuring uh males, this camp
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: feature boys and girls and parents could live in father
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: could be in the household, and there's really an enlightening experience.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: UH tell people why you did that the Disney Dreams Academy,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it was. You know when I first
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: met you, I was an executive at Procter and Gamble,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and you know, just wanted to ensure that I was
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: spending time doing the things that brought me joy as
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: executives and leaders. A lot of times we don't even
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: know what brings this joy, and so I wanted to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: make sure that I could participate in a program that
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: really aligned with my core values. And when um the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: leaders over at us and said, hey, we have something
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that we think the Sister Accord would sit very nicely into,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I said, sign me up. You know I heard about
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: what you all were doing. It was such and it
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: is such an amazing program that's transforming the lives of
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the parents and the students. Absolutely, it's a brand that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to be associated with Disney in general. The Giant Mouse,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you know. Let you know that that was a stamp
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of approval of what we was attempting to do, not
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: only our community but around the country. Now, when I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: met you, your platform was called the Sister of Cord.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Now as the Accord Group. Please tell us why it's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: been renamed or what's what's is the as the mission
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: statement been renamed with it? Right? Oh see, I love you, Sean.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: You have such amazing question. Um. So, when I first
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: left my role at Proctor and Gamble, I launched with
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the Sister, of course, and I often tell my clients
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: launch with your strongest value proposition. So I decided that
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Sisterhood and the things that I was seeing in the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: workplace and and hearing about its schools, that girls and
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: women weren't getting along, they were not supporting each other,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and so I really wanted to use my voice to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: change the narrative for that. So I launched with the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Sister Accord. And then I started working so much with men,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and was working so much with men even in corporate America,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I'm like, they're not going to resonate with the Sister
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of course, so the name of my company it just extended.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: It's the Sister of Courd LLC dB A, doing business
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: as the Accord Group LLC. Because I spent so much
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: time coaching men as well CEOs and executives in corporate America,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and I think that's important that that's why I wanted
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to You do have to take some time to talk
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: about your brand. I know the first time you came
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: on my show, which was amazing, but I didn't really
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: get into And I love the fact that there's a transition,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: there's an extended of your extension of your brand. I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: always tell people that never you kind of like reinvented
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: your company reinvented your brand to extend. Look at my
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: CD you you're a natural motivator, so I thought when
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you always admire what you do, but I felt that
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: there was a limited presentation because you're talking to everybody.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And when I when did that dawn on you that
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you should expand your brand? And a lot of people,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you know, get nervous about you know, well, you know
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: what people think I'm I'm changing, I'm a selling out
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and reaching a core group that I'm not familiar with.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: But you come from Proctor and Gamble, a corporate background,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: so you've been communicating with a worldly perspective of both
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: genders forever. So when did they When did that? When
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: did that click? When did that click in? When I
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: was putting together a proposal one a CEO had asked
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: me to put together a proposal for UM doing some
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: executive coaching and doing some leadership coaching for the organization,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and you know, and I knew that it was going
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to be both men and women, right, And so I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: looked at this and I said, oh my gosh, you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I got to do something here that makes sure that
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I don't alienate anyone or that you know, the men
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that I would be talking to wouldn't say, well, she's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: not talking to me because I'm not a sister. So
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that's when it really dawned on me. And so I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: went and and register changed and updated my name so
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that it could be more encompassing of what I was
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: really doing. Now that's really important that you because that
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: that is so true that you admitted that to yourself.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of people we need. The first
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: thing is I don't want to embarrass myself. I don't
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: want to change making people believe I made a mistake
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: in my platform. But you said, hey, look, if I'm
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: gonna resonate with all male and female in this room,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I can't alienate a certain portion saying but she was good.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: But I got nothing out of it. When you naturally know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: when you naturally know that everything that you're talking about
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: is very relatable, absolutely, and so it's all what we were.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: The only thing I did was I just built on
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the foundation. The core is still there, and so you
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: operate an excellence with the core so that you can
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: attract and people can really engage with what you're talking about,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and then you find ways to pivot and expand from there.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about this, Okay of de a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: core Group, which is doing business as you have three
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: things I wanted to bring out because this shows about entrepreneurship,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: is about people understand the leneos who are listening to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the show. Three areas leadership development, employee engagement, and team building.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Can you expound I'm gonna ask you to expound on
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: each one of those. So I didn't with leadership development
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: that you offer under your consultancy. Yeah. So one of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the things that was really important to me is I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: was building my career. And I started my career at
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Ford Murder Company when I left Florida and m University.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I was there for thirteen years and then I went
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to the Gillette Company, and I wasn't there in Boston
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: very long before Proctor and Gamble acquired Gillette and I
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: had to most to Cincinnati. And so one of the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: things that was really important to me when I first
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: started my career was understanding who I was at my
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: core so that I could operate in it. Because when
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: you drive and operate in our authenticity, that's when the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: magic happens. And so I really wanted to help people
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: understand what my leadership journey was when I started my career,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: this whole notion of compassionate leadership and servant leadership did
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: not exist. I had to create it for myself with
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Sean because I didn't see what I wanted. I didn't
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: see it because people kept telling me, well, you can't
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: get to know your employees, you can't focus too much
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: on employees, you can't do this, and you can't do that.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: They kept telling me what I couldn't do. But what
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I saw, because the automotive business is a very tough business,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: what I saw was leaders pounding on the table, screaming, cursing.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't do any of that. None of that was
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: authentically who I was. So I knew that I couldn't
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: operate that way. And I said to my leaders, I said, now,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: if this is the leadership style that can win in
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: this environment, this is not gonna be for me. So
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I made a choice very early on in my career
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of how my brand, how I was going to show up,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and how I was going to serve, and that I
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: was there to serve. That it wasn't about me as
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a leader, and the most importantly, how you was gonna
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: lead correct how you I wanted to own the whole
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: that thought right quick because in our next break fifty
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: one Ways to Love Your Children, We're gonna go in
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: detail about that because she two weeks ago when she
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: was in Atlanta, she personally handed me the book and
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: we want to talk about the team building, but more importantly,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: fifty one Ways to Love your Children. I need a
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: bigger version of this so I can put it on
• 10:35

  Speaker 1: Jackson Miles because of her birthday. Birthday, straight out sisting
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that straight out sist now and then you have now
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: two weeks ago. She was the reason why I engaged
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: so well with her because she's, Uh, when you have
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: six sisters and you meet somebody who's naturally personal like
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: her she is, and she's a mom and and she's
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: out there traveling, so I know her heart is someplace,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: but she knows she has to deal with the issues
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: of her career and that's what she's dealing with to
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: create a book before we get into the fifth doing
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Ways to Love Your your Children. And I want to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: tell everybody, this book is like a you know, it's
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a it's a you're watching online. I'm holding it up. Um.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: This book is like a it should be on my table.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So this is a requesting I need a bigger version
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: of this book and I'm willing to pay whatever that
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: charges because the pictures are amazing. And I hope you're
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: posting some of the motivational quote or the quoture along
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: with the photos online and if you do, let me
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: let me know so I can share them on my
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Facebook page because they're they're so personalble, they're so incredible,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and they're so inspiring. And that's and it's all tied
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to your children. I have a one year old daughter.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't care what I'm doing, what I'm
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a business meeting I'm in. When she calls, I pick
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: up the phone because I know she had a point
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: in her life where I don't want, you know, her
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: making a decision because the reason she calls, she called
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: me for a reason just gonna call love your dad.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: But there's a reason she's calling. And what what you need,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: baby girl? And and so that's why I really love
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: this book that you put out because I know children
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: are the key. And when I see situations with children
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that don't go well, you know where George are gonna
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: being abused, I always say, they have to be here.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: These children that ask to be here, they are blank slates.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: All they know is instant love. All they want is
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to to get what you can teach them. And they
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: hold on to those values and those those those moments
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: that you share with them emotionally. And that's why I
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: love is real big on her book, Ladies and Gentlemen's
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: real big. It's like Valentine's love on this book is.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: So before we get into a book, let's talk a
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: little about employee engagement U that you do in your consultancy,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: which is the Sister Accord uh d B A deal
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Core Group UH Employment and Employment, Employee Engagement and team building. Yes,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: well there are statistics. Now I'm gonna blow you away
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: with this one. You probably already know this, but um,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: you know, research shows that up to eighty five to
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: ninetent of in U and the us of employees in
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: a company are disengaged. Did you hear Did you hear that? Absolutely?
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And I believe that. I mean, think about why you
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: can't meet your profitability targets, think about why your efficiency
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: isn't there in your productivity if employees are disengaged. And
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: so I spend a lot of time with companies helping
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: them understand the kinds of cultures uh that they can
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: estab lish. To really engage employees, have people understand what
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: their role is in the company very clearly, because I
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, a lot of times people aren't
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: really clear about their roles. But give people some opportunities
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and some tools to really bring their gifts to the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: table be engaged. Loneliness in the workplace is real, particularly
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: if you think differently uh than your colleagues or your boss,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: or you you look differently, it can be a very
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: lonely place. And so employee engagement just is about getting
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: these cultures right so that everyone can win and everyone
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: can be engaged, all hands on deck. And then team building.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time with my Great Leaders
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: have Great Relationship series where I am talking about how
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: teams can come together across the company. It was interesting
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: that you was talking about disengagement. I had h very
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: talented entrepreneur on the phone on the show, came in
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: my studio live. He has a book called Leader Farming.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: For his book is about trying to cultivate uh, you know,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: play on words, farming, farming leaves, developing leaders. And in
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: that book he was saying, and he's a franchise owner
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: for a Chick fil A, and he was talking about
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: he was talking about the millennial population because their whole
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that's what this whole book is about, trying to engage
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: this population, because this is a population that says, you
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: will work for me. Okay, I'm an entrepreneur, you will
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: work for me. So they really struggle with this whole
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: loyalty and how long I'm gonna be here? How long
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I should be there at this job because this is
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: not a long term. I'm not here at this location
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: to get the gold watch. I'm here at you like
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: sustain a level of income, get my real goal in perspective,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and get out. And he said that the struggle is
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: trying to get that that that mentality that I'm only
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: his short term, maybe through college, maybe just six months,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I get my feet right and I get this up
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: and rolling, get this whole idea and digital that I'm
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: trying to put out that rolling because social media has
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: changed that platform, that platform of engage me, because you
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: have people out there who have developed their own brands
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: that you've hired, and they feel that their brand is
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: really more important than you hiring them. Absolutely, absolutely. And
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time with millennials because you know,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I told you on twenty one, right, and so I
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you know, I spent a lot of time with them.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I understand them, and I wish that I had my
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: generation had a little more of of how they think
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: about things, because we just accepted stuff. It could have
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: been raggedy and ratchet, but we still excepted autely. Now
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: tell us about that. I like that. So tell us
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: about the fifty one Ways to Love your Children. Why
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: did you write this book? Well, it's interesting. So, um
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: one of my programs that has been incorporated into Disney
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Dreams Academy is my dream marking program, and Dreamworking is
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: my attempt at solving helping people overcome dream phobia. Now,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I created the word dream phobia, So the definition is, um,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you know, the ridiculous and absurd fear of playing full
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: out in life because you are more concerned with stayings
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: small to please other people, or staying or playing its
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: safe to please yourself. I was playing its safe kind
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: of girl for many years, and so I wanted to
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: help people understand the process of how I brought my
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: dream to life, taking my dream from my heart to
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: my head, to my hands and to my feet. And
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: so dream walking, um was a you know, a big
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: part of it. It is a big part of Disney
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Dreaming Academy and for my consultancy, and I wanted to
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: really address the things that are dream killers, that get
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: in the way of people really operating in what they've
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: been called and created to do. And that's um what
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: fifty one Way to Love Your Children is all about.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of the stuff that we carry as adults
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: happened to us in childhood. And a lot of times
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: parents don't even realize it. It's what they say and
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: what they don't say, it's what they do and what
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: they don't do. And so I wanted to start a
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: conversation about how we must invest in love and take
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: care of our children, because in so many instances, if
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: you turn on the news, you'll see the opposite happening.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Our children are dying at the hands of their parents,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: are being abused, neglected, and so I wanted to use
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: my voice and my platform to really talk about what
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: we were going to do about it. It's important that
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you did it. Here's a statement that I love about
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the book or throughout the book is, first of all,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the photos are so emotionally charged. Okay, I love this book.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: And then you have little sections where you can just
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: write notes, and that's the part she's talking about when
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: you get memories what were you doing when you're we're
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: a teenager? What do you remember about your childhood? So
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: you can implement these these emotional or these memories into
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: raising your child to day or what things what what? What?
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: What failed you? You fail failed you that you can
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: fix because I'll have a statement. Always tell people that
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: what you learn in your twenties, I will tell people
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: you wan't to know about your life you want to
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: play in your future. I always feel you have to
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: look back in your past. That's a defining moment in
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: your path allows you to move forward. But if you
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: set up and say I'm gonna figure it out, right now,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can have long term success. So
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I tell people, what you learn in your twenties, whatever
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: you skill you learn your twenties is what you're gonna
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: be making money with in your forties and fifties. That
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: thirty year, thirty year period of growth is a boy
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the gaining that experience, so you can't make money. So
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: when I read this book and I was able to
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: see those little chapters or those markings, that's saying, hey,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: write something about what happened to you. I went, she
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: got it, she understands it. And this this is something
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I just need a bigger version. I'm just telling you
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: right now, all right, brother, we're gonna happen. You know.
• 20:04
