“I don’t want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model.”
– Queen Latifah

I am so excited to welcome Chris Pratt to the T&T Mic! Today Chris is going to be sharing his personal and professional experience around diversity and inclusion in the IT world. Chris has a wealth of experience in the IT world, but really was an engineer at a young age. He is a fellow podcaster (2 podcasts) and financial enthusiasts, passionate about teaching all people about financial literacy. Chris talks about the importance of representation and the fact that if you are one of a few that look like you in a particular field, it’s probably a good idea to embrace the opportunity to be the example! Chris shares his successes and challenges and some pro tips on how to navigate a field with a lack of diversity. He has done so much at a young age and is just getting started, to say the least. From IT to entrepreneurship to leadership- keep your eyes out for this human. He is a change maker and goal chaser AND an excellent role model for us all!

Highlights:

Diversity and inclusion. Representation. Being the role model. Accepting responsibility. Questioning a better way. IT. Growing up. Goals and aspiration.

“Wishes are possibilities. Dare to make a wish.”
–Lailah Gifty Akita

Hi Guys, this is a quick Coach’s Corner episode today- under 5 minutes! With all that is going on in the world right now, I thought it was a good time to get our minds right and send whatever positive energy we have to the country of Ukraine! It’s unbelievable that we can even “go to war” in this day in age, but we are here. Anytime you see or experience something unbelievable, you have to know that the opposite is possible in that same extreme fashion. Meaning, we didn’t think a war could happen again, so know that on the flip side, all the positive things that seem impossible to achieve, can also happen. Bottom line, keep the faith and believe in miracles. Anything is possible, especially if we can see what we believe! Here is a little exercise to achieve and maintain that “Possible Mindset”.  This is a SIMPLE exercise to can do in under 1 minute and multiple times a day. Keep your mind focused, optimistic, and hopeful… life will come at us fast, let’s control what we can. To all Ukrainians and anyone directly impacted by the invasion, we are with you and praying for you!!

See it. Think it.  Share it.

This one is a video, so be sure to check us out on You Tube!

 

Highlights:

Dream, believe, achieve. Keep it simple, stupid (KISS). Thoughts and prayers to Ukraine. The mind, body, energy connect. Controlling what we can. Believing in larger order and keeping the faith. Conscious thinking and disruption of negative mind thought patterns.
