Please consider booking Keisha for your event #photography needs.
It’s 3 times in as many days that I’ve encount It’s 3 times in as many days that I’ve encountered content about the necessity of both soft and hard skills in modern and transformative leadership. 

I’m definitely on the soft side naturally. But yesterday’s @houseofbeautifulbusiness open house report post House Pop Up at #Davos got me thinking: 

Can I be even softer?

The answer is a HARD yes. 

Here is an attempt at describing my differentiating #softness. 

Thoughts?

📍I didn’t think going online from home would be as good. See @southlandcc #Nicholasville is a very special place. Also, the last time I was there: first service, second row, Xmas eve. 🥁 It’s a high bar. ⭐️

📣 It’s Pastor Scott Nickell’s way with words, messages and voice that keeps me going.  As an aspiring professional speaker and overall word nerd, as a leader and as a human-being, Scott is an #influencer I welcome with a HARD yes. 👏🏼

He. Brought. Me. To. Tears. 🙏🏼 It was soooooo good today y’all.

💻 In my foyer.  In my favorite fuzzy socks.  Turns out: I go to church online. And with my #Kentucky #family in #LEX and #NIC. 💙

PS for Scott: I’m studying the technical elements of your work 🤓🙏🏼♥️ as inspiration for my own. Thank you for being a transformational leader I actually want to be like. #loveatwork

I am here. It’s been a 3-year journey to get t I am here. 

It’s been a 3-year journey to get to this moment. In a place I meant to be in 2020.  Yet then, I wasn’t ready. 

In 2022, I wrote a TED talk. It’s called Love, at Work. It’s about how conversations about love can revolutionize our workplaces. 

Now, it’s 2023. And everything is better than I imagined. 

Tomorrow, along the banks of the Delaware River, far enough from the big city, yet close enough to everything, I begin the rehearsal process.  With an incredible team of teachers and performers. @heroicpublicspeaking

More to come. Soon, spring.
