The Room Where It Happens [Ep. 148]

A simple way to get more opportunities 👀

I was in the room when it happened…

For the first time in two years, I was able to attend the Congressional Black Caucus in person.

It was an incredible event, but I didn’t just go to listen and take notes…

I went there as an active participant, fully engaged with the attendees (some of whom I knew and some I didn’t) who were in the room 💪🏾

And these are the opportunities that happened because of this ⬇️

✅ Invited to watch the Senior Vice President of Global Supply Diversity for Hyatt speak about diversity, inclusion, and equity for companies and corporations

✅ Attended a morning brunch with Melanie Campbell from the Black Women’s Roundtable

✅ Exchanged phone numbers with an executive from Goldman Sachs

✅ Received an exclusive invitation to a Gala that originally cost $2,000

And so much more.

Being in the room and doing nothing gets you nowhere.

Make yourself available, have those introductory conversations, and change your future.

On the podcast, I share:

💥 How I made essential connections through this ONE event and opened up so many doors

💥 How you can become a resource for others when you’re in the room when it happens

💥 My challenge for you

If you’re ready to be in the room where transformations happen, then it’s time to move outside of your comfort zone and 👏🏾 get 👏🏾 things 👏🏾 done.
