Shout out to Jessica Peterson, Executive Director of Enlightened Theatrics and founding board member of Be Blac Foundation.
Here are 3 key takeaways from our conversation:1️⃣ The Power of Storytelling: Theater and music have a unique ability to captivate us and transport us to different worlds. Whether you're on stage or in the audience, the arts have a way of connecting with our emotions and bringing people together.2️⃣ Advocating for Youth: Jessica believes adults must empower young individuals by encouraging them to ask questions, advocate for themselves, and lean on their support system. As adults, we have the responsibility to create spaces where their voices are heard and valued.3️⃣ Making a Difference Where You Are: We don't always have to do the most to make a meaningful impact. Each of us has the power to create change within our own spheres of influence, whether it's through mentoring, volunteering, or simply being present and supportive of those around us.
Be sure to support Jessica!

In the episode, we explore the idea that progress requires the courage to step outside our comfort zones and venture into the unknown. We discuss the fear of leaving behind what is familiar and the anxieties that arise when facing new challenges. But as we learn, having the courage to embrace change is essential for our development and success.I share an insightful quote: "Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." We discuss the significance of this quote, relating it to our own journeys of growth and progression. We identify the shore as the place of comfort and familiarity, while the ocean represents the new opportunities and aspirations that lie ahead.I encourage you all to consider what this quote means for you personally. What is your "ocean" that you strive towards? What "shore" are you currently on? And most importantly, what courageous steps will you take to move closer to your desired progression?Let me know your thoughts!

I had an incredible conversation with a talented junior high school student-athlete about the awe-inspiring world of triple jump. And let me tell you, it hit close to home, considering my own history as a dedicated triple jumper in high school and college.During our chat, we dove deep into the essential elements for success in this sport. We discussed everything from mastering the technical aspects to contacting coaches and recruiters. And it got me thinking, this concept applies not only to athletics but also to our own personal and professional journeys.
Take a listen to the three levels of work that would benefit student-athletes and leaders for success! Take a listen and let me know your thoughts!

As I am thinking out loud, I am reflecting on how The Prime Effect is Real!Deion Sanders, the Colorado Buffaloes football coach, is transforming college football for the better! More particularly, he is transforming environments through his leadership: In this video we break down:1️⃣ Your Presence Matters: Your demeanor and attitude can change and shape the culture of any space you enter. Be intentional about showing up with excellence, demanding it of yourself, and inspiring others to do the same. By modeling the behavior you want to see, you create a positive environment and raise the potential for success.2️⃣ Be the Change: Think about the individuals who have had a profound impact on you with their unwavering commitment to excellence. Now, imagine being that person for others. Strive to be a catalyst for growth and development in both your personal and professional life. By consistently practicing excellence, you can inspire those around you to step up their game and reach new heights.3️⃣ Power of Collaboration: Imagine a room filled with individuals who are driven by excellence, leveraging their strengths, networks, and experiences to transform their communities. When multiple excellent individuals unite, their collective impact is immeasurable. Embrace the idea of teamwork and collaboration to create a culture of excellence that brings about positive change.I highly recommend giving the full episode a listen to hear more about the insights and reflections shared during this powerful discussion.

There was an Instagram post I wanted to get a #ThinkingOutLoud reaction to and reflect with you on the podcast. You can view the Instagram post here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw0hkxZOx40/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
🌟 Here are 3 key takeaways from the episode:
1️⃣ Start Early: It's never too soon to begin teaching children important life skills. If we want kind, tough, successful adults, we need to instill these qualities from a young age. Teach them kindness, toughness, perseverance, and teamwork, and give them the gift of practice and time to hone these skills.
2️⃣ Lead by Example: As adults, it's important for us to embody the characteristics and values we want to see in the next generation. Demonstrating these qualities through our actions not only provides a tangible example for children to follow but also encourages open dialogue and understanding when faced with challenging situations.
3️⃣ Long-Term Perspective: Patience and intentionality are key when raising children and building relationships with the next generation. We must adopt a long-term perspective, understanding that the lessons we teach today will shape the adults they become in the future. Planting seeds now will allow them to grow into fully empowered and successful individuals.
Reflective questions for you:
-
How does changing our mindset to seeing children and young adults as future leaders shift the way we interact with them and invest in their growth?
-
What are some practical ways we can begin to plant seeds for future growth in the next generation starting today?

I had the pleasure of interviewing Ryan, an accountant from Church at the Park, on the latest episode of "On the Mic with Ray White" podcast. We delved into the importance of accounting in the nonprofit sector.
Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:
1️⃣ Cash Flow is Crucial: In a nonprofit organization, having a solid handle on cash flow is essential. It ensures that the organization can meet its financial obligations and continue serving its mission. Ryan emphasized the importance of having a clear plan and projection spreadsheet to manage cash flow effectively.
2️⃣ Accounting as a Puzzle: Ryan found his passion for accounting by embracing the puzzle-like nature of the field. For those considering a career in accounting, it can be an enjoyable and fulfilling path. Just be sure to test the waters early to ensure it aligns with your interests and strengths.
3️⃣ Active Listening in Salem: Ryan expressed hope for the city of Salem to foster better listening skills among its residents. In a world dominated by noise and divided opinions, he believes that true understanding can be achieved by genuinely listening to one another, and setting aside personal biases and social media chatter.
Whether you're interested in accounting or nonprofit work, Ryan's advice remains the same: Follow your passion. Pursue what you love, and it will lead you to a fulfilling career. But be aware, accounting can be demanding, so finding balance and seeking wisdom are essential for long-term success.

This is an oldie, but goodie! I recorded a devotional talk with student leaders around 2018.
In this talk, we reflect on the Bible Passage Matthew 24:42, with the following key takeaways on how we can stay ready as leaders:
✅ Stay close to vine: Building a strong relationship with Christ is essential for staying ready. Connect wdivineith the divine and be in tune with His guidance and purpose.
✅ Seize opportunities: Be prepared to take action when opportunities are presented. Whether it's speaking at an event or engaging in a meaningful conversation, doing the work to be ready allows you to make the most of these moments.
✅ Leadership is a service: As leaders, it's important to recognize that our role is not about seeking the spotlight, but rather about serving others. By connecting with Christ and sharing His love, we can have a positive impact within our communities.
Remember, leadership is not a solo journey. Surround yourself with a supportive community, whether it's close friends, family, or fellow believers, who can help you stay accountable and motivated.
Take a listen and let me know your thoughts!

I had the pleasure of interviewing Bryant Malone, a passionate financial educator, on the latest episode of "On the Mic with Ray White."
We dove deep into the world of financial literacy and its impact on our community. Here are three key takeaways from our enlightening conversation:
1️⃣ Don't be afraid to face your finances: Many people tend to avoid looking at their financial situation when they're struggling. But as Malone wisely mentioned, if you don't analyze the problem, you can't change it. Take that first step towards financial empowerment by being willing to confront your finances head-on.
2️⃣ Make philanthropy a part of your journey: Bryant highlighted the importance of giving back to the community. Whether it's by contributing to causes, organizations, or nonprofits, find the ones you're passionate about and make a difference. Remember, even small acts of philanthropy can have a big impact on the lives of others.
3️⃣ Network, network, network: Bryant emphasized the power of forging connections in both personal and professional life. Surround yourself with individuals who inspire you, teach you, and help you grow. You never know when a relationship will open doors to new opportunities or lead you to valuable business connections.
To learn more about Bryant and his financial expertise, be sure to check him out on Instagram at @BeardedFinancialBro and on Facebook!

Welcome back to "On the Mic with Ray White," the podcast where we dive deep into the world of equity, inclusion, and organizational development. In today's episode, we're tackling an important and timely topic: the challenges faced by Chief Diversity Officers in today's corporate landscape.
We're living in a time where business decisions often seem to take priority over human-centric positions. It's disheartening to see CDOs being cut, programs being slashed, and commitments being walked back, all because they're not producing immediate results. But as we discuss today, patience, understanding, and long-term commitment are crucial when working towards cultural change.
As an equity inclusion strategist and organizational development strategist, I've been observing the changing landscape and the struggles faced by those who advocate for inclusive and valued spaces within institutions. From the overturning of laws associated with identity to the rising prominence of Chief Diversity Officers, the conversation around diversity and inclusion has taken center stage.
But with the financial challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, some CEOs are quick to see diversity and inclusion departments as non-revenue generating and opt to cut them. What they fail to recognize is that these strategies take time and constant resources to bear fruit. It's a short-sighted view that can have detrimental effects on the progress we've made thus far.
Additionally, we'll explore the overwhelming responsibilities shouldered by Chief Diversity Officers in their attempts to understand business goals, individual employee needs, and the overall path toward success. Is it fair to expect one person to single-handedly address systemic racism and oppression within an institution? We'll dive into this thought-provoking question today.
This episode will also examine the surge in demand for Chief Diversity Officers following the events of 2020 when the urgent need for change in systemic oppression and racism became apparent.
Join me as we delve into the fast-paced nature of the diversity, equity, and inclusion space, where staying informed and navigating deeply rooted discriminatory ideologies is an everyday challenge. We'll explore the difficulties of leading organizations through strategic change to combat limiting beliefs, biases, and oppressive behaviors.
Would like to hear from you! What are your perspectives on the recent DEI program and roles cut in the Corporate sector? What impact do you think that will have on DEI as a whole?

On this episode of On the Mic w/ Ray White, I reflect on my experience celebrating Juneteenth in Salem, Oregon. I had the opportunity to attend events, Juneteenth Celebration and NAACP Salem Keizer chapter Fundraiser dinner. There is so much power in the black community coming together to celebrate. I also discuss the challenges our Black community faces in education, the judicial system, home ownership, and community safety, underscoring the need to address these issues to create opportunities for future generations.
I want to encourage you to become culture change leaders in your community and help advance equity within organizations. We must build relationships, gain insights from individuals impacted by the change, and create a sense of belonging for every identity. Change starts with each individual utilizing their unique gifts, position, power, prestige, and perspective.

On this episode of On the Mic w/ Ray White, we talk about what it looks like to show up in multicultural spaces!
Having an understanding of social dynamics and system inequities helps us to know how we can be an advocate for others. But we can't just jump in without building relationships with others first. What we see as a solution may not always be what's best for those impacted.
So how do we navigate that? Listen in and let's work through this together!

In this episode of On The Mic W/ Ray White, we discuss how to assess diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in organizations. Our DEI efforts should not be performative and should have some meaning behind them. The assessment part of DEI can be done through a formalized process that looks at the organization's practices, policies, and leadership, but it can also be done through critical self-reflection and asking questions that turn organizational values into actionable steps. Thriving, belonging workplace cultures are designed when organizations have a clear sense of our mission, vision, and values and adopt anti-racist and restorative practices to ensure a sense of belonging for all identities in the community.
Schedule a call to discuss integrating DEI into your organizational strategies and increase your equity lens as a leader!
Keywords: #DEI, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Communication, Executive Leaders, #WorkplaceCulture, Active Listening, #employeeengagement , Organizational Assessment, Measurement, and Success, Company Culture

Do you have something in your possession with deep sentimental value?
After I pulled out my old college track spikes and football cleats, I immediately got emotional! Many memories of events, people, successes, and failures rushed me all at once.
How do you process that information at one time? How does that affect you and the people around you?
This episode dives into the emotional feelings I had held on to my old shoes and how my former athletic identity impacts the way I live my life today.

Be wary of the hustle culture. It will have you turning the thing you love to do into a chore. This is a reminder for me not to monetize everything that I do. Leave some activities where you can just "be."

“Friends! How many of us have them?”
One of the greatest actions we can do is be great friends with one another. How can we be in the community if we are unable to connect with one another to offer support?
I’ve been pondering on how I can be a better friend to others, especially for those who are in tough positions and want to know they are not alone.
Let's ponder together: What does it look like to be a good friend?

Quit running up against barriers without evaluating why there's a barrier there!
You keep pushing forward through problems thinking that it will get better the more effort you give.
But sometimes you might have to take a step back to see if there is another way.
Forcing the effort could lead you to burn out quickly!
Let's ponder together: When I experience adversity, do I need to switch up my tactics to reach my goals?

I love it when my kids start expressing themselves. Especially when it comes to how they engage with work! Honestly, I don't blame them for complaining that the work is hard... But what if we had a different viewpoint on work itself?
This patio ponder explores what would happen if we viewed the concept of labor differently.
Let's ponder together: What are your thoughts on labor and work? What tactics do you use to keep yourself engaged?

Life is not easy.
We should have practices that help us be resilient to navigate through its challenges. Yet, could some of the adversities be avoidable? Are we learning from our mistakes? Are we uprooting the issues that are causing us to be resilient in the first place?
There is a growing conversation for us to examine how the systems/institutions we are a part of help or hinder our ability to be strong. Also, these life events impact each person differently, so a blanket statement to "just be resilient" will not work for the person most significantly impacted.
Let's ponder together: What do we need to do to not perpetuate the reasons to be resilient?

I got the opportunity to interview a few student-leaders in the Salem-Keizer, Oregon area to discuss their hand in planning the ILEAD Youth Virtual Summit on December 11, 2021.
They shared why teens should attend the summit, the type of games and workshops available centered on leadership/life readiness, and the advice they would give to their peers in high school!
Be encouraged by listening to this episode and register for the free ILEAD Youth Summit here!: https://www.cityofsalem.net/ileadsummit

These identity boxes be messing me up!
We construct our identity and others when we only view our society in neat boxes. But that is not how people and our identities work...
Could we envision a world where we weren't trying to fit into a box? How liberating would it feel for us to be ourselves if that wasn't the case?
This episode taps into a piece of that, with hopes to unpack it more in future episodes. I would love for you to take a listen and let me know what you think!

Question for you: How high would your confidence be if there was nothing to worry about?

So I pulled a reflection from The Bachelor franchise, the American reality dating show, and it has nothing to do with finding love. If you listened closely, every candidate strives to have time with the bachelor/bachelorette.
What would happen if we were just as obsessed and dedicated to fighting for time with the things we love in life?
What would happen if we fought for time to achieve our desires?
How would that change the actions and responsibilities we engage with daily?
Take a listen to this #OTMSound Check, and let me know what are the things you will fight to have time with.

Do you create space for yourself to get organized?
There are seasons where I do great in organizing my dreams, thoughts, and actions. Then there are other times where everything is up in the air and it's hard to manage the work!
Chaos I tell you!
We not only need to know what is on our plates, but we also need to create space to structure our time to execute effectively.

Y'all, TAKE YOUR BREAKS! USE YOUR TIME OFF! FOCUS ON YOUR SELF-CARE!
My bad for yelling at you, but I want to remind you that rest is vital for sustainability. One of the best ways for us to lead well and execute on our goals by developing a rhythm of rest so we can bring the energy into every presence.
Don't wait to the brink of burnout to finally take a break!
Y'all can catch me at the beach this week with the family but expect a regular practice of pausing in the future!

Today's episode is a reaction to the recent hate crime demonstrated towards the Asian American community, particularly the murder of 8 women in Atlanta. How are you responding to that?
We cannot be okay with this. What are we doing out here?
We need to challenge ourselves to critically assess our positions, platforms, and relationships. We also need to have those crucial conversations and challenge ourselves to better and be better. How can they be at a higher standard?
Let's create space to lament, learn, and act in ways that increase belonging. If we are not, how will we do that today?

This episode is all about gratitude. Plain and simple.
Despite the challenges that are out of my control (Pacific Northwest ice storms, Covid pandemic, failed external hard drives), I wanted to take a moment to speak on the areas I am grateful for. That includes the unavoidable change in routine I've had to experience.
This time is tough for everyone. Extend some grace for yourself and others as you navigate through it. And be sure you are not going through it alone.
Take a listen to the Forced Reset and let me know what you are grateful for during this trying season.

Well, happy first week of January 2021.
This episode is specifically focused on the coup at the US Capitol on January 6th. The focus is less on the disbelief of the event, but more on the lessons that we can pull as a leader in that space.
Plus, I saw a connection from The Lorax that can help us be better problem solvers. I hope this episode helps us reflect on what we can do to do better.
Let me know what you think.
