Building bridges and forming social connections that allow information and resources to travel between groups that might not ordinarily connect.
On behalf of our entire team at Mentor Connect, I wanted to express our gratitude to Bobby Hulme-Lippert for speaking on our behalf at the Leadership Conference, City of Austin on June 21st, 2024. Your presentation, “Bring Your Dance Moves: How Leaders Cultivate Belonging,” was profoundly impactful. Your explanation of how everyone has unique and important gifts to offer, and how these gifts are best shared when we feel a sense of belonging, resonated deeply with us. We were particularly inspired by your explanation on how leaders can cultivate belonging: 1. Use Improv Comedy’s “Yes, and” as a Leadership Approach – Building from the input, perspective, and strengths of others. 2. Share Stories – Providing outlets for team members to appreciate each other’s stories, even short conversational prompts can quickly build a deeper connection. 3. Practice Gratitude – Offering team members specific, personalized expressions of gratitude and recognition for their work. These approaches are especially beneficial for high school students as we navigate formative years, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment that enhances our personal and academic growth. Mentor Connect is truly grateful for your partnership. Naithruv Kashyap, Chief Operations Officer, Mentor Connect Arjun Rajan, Adam Menezes, Shaurya Pathania

A lightbulb moment for current MS in Leadership & Negotiation student, Courtney Reyes. Courtney reached out to Program Director Josh Weiss to share how she directly applied what she was learning in the program in real time. “I recently found myself in one of the biggest negotiations I could ever be in, which landed me in the Interim Director position. I truly believe I was successful in being offered the promotion and received the pay and added benefits because of all the knowledge and skills I gained from the MLN program. I couldn’t believe how empowered I was!" Learn more about the program: https://lnkd.in/gqKPnS43

All this month, we are shining a spotlight on the incredible rising stars in financial services who are breaking barriers and making a difference in the industry, in honor of #BlackHistoryMonth. Next up in this series: Patricia Taylor Todd, Esq., PCC, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, Founder of Tenacity Executive Coaching, a boutique practice providing executive coaching and consulting services to individuals and businesses, and Executive IQ® by Money Management Institute participant and coach. Our interview with Patricia below reveals her career journey, thoughts on the significance of this month, and invaluable advice for those just starting out in the industry: What are some of the experiences and opportunities that you can point to that supported your career growth? The turning points in my career were born from courageously investing in my professional growth. After feeling frustrated and "stuck" as an individual contributor, I hired a leadership coach during my transition to management, leading to my promotion to a C-suite HR role. The unexpected opportunity to join the Executive IQ cohort resulted in defining my leadership legacy— centered on serving others in their leadership journeys – and greatly inspired me to take the leap to establish my executive coaching and consulting practice. What does Black History Month mean to you? Black History Month is both a crucial and joyous celebration for me. Black history is American history. Black History Month is a time for everyone to celebrate our community, transcending racial boundaries. As a mother, I prioritize ensuring that my sons, and all African-American children, grasp the profound societal contributions of our ancestors and the enduring resilience of our people. What advice would you give to someone starting out in the industry? For anyone entering any industry, my key advice is to seek mentorship. Make a point of connecting with individuals open to sharing their experiences and advice as you progress. Identify someone who has achieved your aspirations and build a relationship by asking for help. People love success stories, and there are those eager to be part of yours! #FinancialTrailblazers #DiversityInFinance #DEI #EmpowerChange #MMIGateway #RisingLeaders
