Hi everyone! I’m Dr. Tanya Marie Bennett, and I’m excited to be here and connect with all of you. I’m an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and federal contracting professional with a passion for helping people build confidence, recognize opportunities, and create wealth with purpose. I’m currently growing my speaking platform, expanding my businesses, creating digital products and courses, and continuing to position myself for more paid speaking and media opportunities. I joined this community because I’m ready to learn, grow, sharpen my message, and turn my voice and experience into even greater impact and income. I’m looking forward to connecting, collaborating, and learning from everyone here. Please feel free to introduce yourself. I would love to know what you do and what you’re working on right now.

Hey ladies! I'm Dr. DNicole Fields, founder of IEXDG, a leadership and organizational culture consulting firm, coming to Atlanta from the DMV (Maryland). This is my third year in Ashley's rooms: two Black Women Sell Lives, one Speak Your Way to Cash, and I spoke at the Ghana edition back in January. 🧡🇬🇭 Some of you were with me back on July 23 for the pre-event masterclass, where we talked about how what's happening inside your team shows up in your sales. If we haven't met yet, here's my story in short. I've spent 30+ years in education. And at one point, I wore a heart monitor at work. Not because I was sick. Because the leadership culture around me was making me sick. I have the degrees. I have the credentials. None of it protected me from a workplace where what leadership said it stood for and what we actually lived every day were two completely different things. So I built the thing I needed back then. Today we work with leaders and their teams on the gap between the culture the organization stands behind and the one its people are actually living, in city agencies, school districts, and corporations. Every organization has a mission, a vision, values in the handbook, a sign on the wall. That's what leadership says is true. What people experience on a Tuesday afternoon is something else. We use the Effective Leadership Culture Code®, our six-pillar framework, to read the system that produced that gap, not just a survey score, and then we partner with the leader and the team to rebuild it. Internal training teams are usually built for compliance and skills, and they do that work well. Ours is the layer underneath: how leaders and their people actually communicate, decide, and follow through. That runs through the Leadership Intelligence Session, leadership development, executive advising, licensing, and speaking. I'm coming to Atlanta this year with a clear focus. I know exactly what I'm here for. I'm going after contracts, partnerships, licensing, speaking, and training, and I want the Effective Leadership Culture Code® working inside more agencies, districts, corporations, and systems.

I couldn’t wait to level up to stage 2 so I could post in here. What it do good people?! 🎉🎊 My name is Dwight, friends and family call me Shawrod (middle name, and don’t joke my mom for the unique spelling 😂🤷🏾) I help speakers and coaches create profitable coaching packages that grow impact and income ($10k in 2mo then we scale) without tech stress, burnout or figuring it out alone. But I’m realizing while being in this group already that my elevator pitch may be too low. So I’m excited to be here to learn, grow my business and meet fantastic, impact motivated and high achieving entrepreneurs that love Jesus. (Well you don’t have to love him, and we can still link up but I just wanted to be clear on who make it do what it do for me 🤩✝️) I’m in VA, and I’m a sports guy, tech nerd, motivational speaker, executive coach and senior Pastor. Happily married to Jennell (she’s also a drop the mic speaker) And we have 2 great kids (11 & 15) I’ve Been blessed to co-author a book with Les Brown and speak on stages with him, Eric “ET” Thomas, US Ambassador Suzan Johnson Cooke, Jeremy Anderson, and earn the John Maxwell Coaching Certification. I have a PLAYMAKER framework for helping individuals MAKE PLAYS to succeed. I’m playing around with leading a podcast or 2. Won a few speaking awards and I’m here because none of that matters if I can’t impact lives and increase my income as to provide low to no cost ministry that helps me serve more people; plus coach others into experiencing the same success so we can be the rising tides that lift other boats. We all should be winning! My message is simple… falling is not failure, you can FLY! Don’t stay stuck down there or anywhere let me help maximize your potential so that you can take off! (Play on the word TAKE OFF as in Rise like a plane and Rest on a private beach with no consistent hardwork because your business is on autopilot and headed towards legacy building!🛫😏) DM me so we can collab on something. We are better together and if you bring your people, they can meet my people and we call all be people … or something like what Biggie said 😂😂🤷🏾👍🏾
