To inspire and develop people so they may continually strive to be the best they can be, while overcoming adversity and tackling challenges by drumming to their own heart B-E-A-T.  Share how through human energy, interaction, collaboration, empathy and leadership may transform a culture, as well as all aspects of your life.  

Define B-E-A-T:  Belief,  Emotion, Action and Thought

Master the Mindset

1. Improving Self-Awareness:  What makes up a mindset?  Why is mindset important?  First piece of mindset is to improve self-awareness knowing:
   1. Goals and aspirations
   2. Wants, Interests and Needs (WIN)
   3. How you measure success
   4. Obstacles you face
   5. What energizes and motivates you
   6. Strengths, abilities and passion
   7. What you are thankful for
   8. Who you value most

2. Taking Control of what you CAN:  Choose your B-E-A-T.  Your focus, perseverance, positivity, choice, hard work and an openness to other people. 
   1. Belief:  Choose those that enable and energize you.  Change those that disable you.
   2. Emotion:  Choose to leverage these as energy to take positive action.  Reframe from those that drain or immobilize you.
   3. Action:  Choose to be constructive rather than destructive.
   4. Thought:  Choose to focus on the positive and envision success.  Avoid negativity.

3. Valuing Diversity and Inclusion with a strategic action plan.  How does this work?  What does it entail?  It’s more than defining current state, future state, finding the gaps and creating steps to make it happen.  Instead, take constructive action with collaboration.  Get other people’s perspective and help.  Mindset is listening more because you care and value other people and talking less.  “Buy-in” is essential for execution of a strategic action plan.  

4. Envision Your Ideal Future:  Master the Mindset with Daily Reminders and an action plan: 
   1. What will I do?
   2. Why is this IMP?
   3. How will I start?
   4. Who can help me?
