Honored and Grateful: Receiving this National Leadership Award!!
Dear friends, colleagues, and the incredible Career Mastered community,
I am deeply humbled and profoundly grateful to receive the National Leadership Award from Career Mastered in Detroit. This recognition is not just an individual achievement; it represents the collective effort of mentors, peers, and collaborators who have shaped my journey.
🔹 A Journey of Collaboration:
Leadership is never a solitary path. It’s about lifting others as we climb.
To my mentors: Thank you for your guidance, wisdom, and unwavering support. You’ve shaped my leadership philosophy and inspired me to lead with empathy and purpose.
To my peers: Your camaraderie, resilience, and shared vision have fueled our collective success. Together, we’ve navigated challenges, celebrated victories, and grown stronger.
🔹 Passion and Purpose:
Leadership isn’t about titles; it’s about impact.
Every project, every initiative, every late-night brainstorming session—it’s all driven by a burning passion to make a difference.
This award reaffirms that purpose. It reminds me why I wake up every morning—to create positive change, empower others, and leave a lasting legacy.
🔹 Detroit, My Home:
Detroit, you’ve shaped me. Your resilience, creativity, and unyielding spirit are etched into my leadership DNA.
From the bustling streets to the quiet corners, every interaction has been a lesson in leadership.
To my city: This award belongs to you too. Let’s continue building a brighter future together.
🔹 Gratitude Beyond Words:
Words fail to capture the depth of my gratitude.
To the Career Mastered team: Thank you for believing in my potential, for creating platforms that amplify voices, and for fostering a community where leadership thrives.
To my family: Your unwavering support fuels my drive. You’re my foundation, my safe harbor, and my greatest cheerleaders. This would not be possible if it were not for my village.
🔹 The Journey Continues:
Awards are milestones, not destinations.
As I stand here, I see a path stretching ahead—a path of more challenges, more growth, and more opportunities to lead.
Let’s keep pushing boundaries, breaking barriers, and creating ripples of change.
In closing, I raise this award not as an individual but as a torchbearer for leadership that uplifts, empowers, and transforms. Thank you, Career Mastered Magazine, for this honor. Let’s keep writing our leadership stories—one chapter at a time.
Thank you Unisys, Eastern Michigan University, Alpha Kappa Psi
Thank you Lisa Wicker, Ph.D. for this honor and for allowing me to share this honor and space with so many phenomenal women!
