• The Carry On Friends Journal Giveaway (The first 4 people to email [email protected] will get one of the journals)
• DiSC Assessment
• COF Episode 117: Understand who You are to develop Confidence. 

  Key takeaways:  

• Start where you can get in to start developing your emotional intelligence, building self awareness by using the  journal, or the DISC assessment.
• Communication and Emotional intelligence starts at home. What we bring into work is based on what we've absorbed, observed and absorbed at home and subconsciously unconsciously bring some of these behaviors at work.
• If you want to truly be a manager at work, you have to do people development, and people development starts with you. If you can't develop yourself, you cannot develop other people.

In this episode I talk with Mark about his:

• Artwork, including his recent collection commemorating the 100 year anniversary of the Harlem Renaissance. 
• Transition from soccer star, to bobsledder to artist

  We also talked about:

• Understanding of self to uncover the creative side within and most importantly to develop confidence
• Parenting and how he parents differently from what traditional Jamaican culture says should be done. (Note, after we recorded the interview, this article was published - Jamaica wants to end beatings, paddling of kids, saying it leads to later violence.)

How many times have you thought to yourself or said out loud "I should've followed my mind!"

Our Instincts give us clues all the time. but why don't we do it more often?

When it comes to following yuh mind, it takes bravery, courage, practice, trust, conviction and vulnerability.   This episode was inspired by my interview on the podcast "This Woman Can Interview Janice Sutherland".

Here's a story that you won't see on HGTV. Janice Sutherland was born in the UK to an Antiguan mother.  She moved back to the island where she worked her way to become the first woman CEO of a telecommunications company in the Caribbean. Among other entrepreneurial pursuits, Janice and is now doing executive leadership development for women in management or wanting to get to the C suite.   We spent the first half of the conversation discussing her decision to move from the UK back to Antigua, the process involved, how she became the first woman CEO of Digicel, Antigua & Barbuda and the gap she recognized that lead her to her current role to Executive Coaching for Women.
