My Noble Goal is... To partner with people to make a better world

My work is about... Expand our understanding of culture, emotional intelligence, and coaching

Professional accomplishments include... I have created and implemented with clients a working model for culturally responsive emotional intelligence. Using the Six Seconds emotional intelligence assessment, I have supported the growth and increased productivity of C-Suite leaders. I lead retention initiatives for students of color at a number of institutions that have increased retention and graduation rates.

 A few past experiences...Designed and taught courses linking music to social change: The Rhythm of Resistance; and Hip Hop and the Black Experience in America. Wrote and recorded a Blues album in a garage with my friends.

One reason I’m personally passionate about emotional intelligence is…. it has key to surviving and fighting against systematic inequality in our world, and EQ will lead our social transformation

Pronouns, Background... Oun (he/she) / Un (him/her); Black Male Feminist

Favorite... A Me'Shell Ndegeocello bass line; James Baldwin and Schitt's Creek
