As we reach episode 10, I'm thrilled to have a guest!

Scott is a growth acceleration adviser and the CEO and Founder of Bold Mind X. He is also the author of the books "Time Machine Leadership – How to Lead from the Future for Sustainable Success” and “Your Creative Mind – How to Disrupt Your Thinking, Abandon your Comfort Zone, and Develop Bold New Strategies”. I met him as a coach who, according to his own words, “combining executive leadership, psychology, and neuroscience, works to disrupt people’s thinking and transform bold ideas into tangible plans”

As a way to celebrate of Black History Month in the US, in this episode we will look at Verne Meyers’ definition of Diversity & Inclusion, add Equity and Belonging to the equation, and reflect on how asking and sharing can hep us lead in a more inclusive way.
