How Do You Command the Microphone?

God gave each of us a voice—the very least we can do is USE it. The microphone shouldn’t be a fear factor. Instead, it should be the platform to allow us to speak life into all of whom we have the opportunity to grace. We just have to make sure that we do it correctly.

All students of Executive Reign learn the basic fundamentals of public speaking: clarity of thought, diction, articulation, and overall delivery. The key to mastering all of this is repetition. “The more you speak, the better you will become.” Students are given prompts to practice rehearsed orations, topics for extemporaneous questions to learn how to speak without prior preparation, and other assignments to sharpen their skills.

By the end of my coaching session, students gain the confidence and poise to deliver any kind of speech! They truly command the microphone!

Keys to Superstar Success from the CEO: Who Are You Not to Be?

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, or fabulous. Actually, who are we NOT to be?”

-Marianne Williamson

Nelson Mandela’s 1990 Inaugural Address

Anyone who knows me, knows that the above quote is my FAVORITE. I open all of my orations, workshops, and sessions with it. It is the essence of who I am. Why? Because it is the driving force for which I live my life. We live in a society where people will constantly tell you who you are not, what you can’t do, and what you will not become. However, I beg to differ. How dare you allow someone else to determine your destiny? If you want it, go and get it. It’s that simple. So, who are you not to be? Who are you not to achieve your dreams? Who are you not to make an indelible mark on this world? Who are you not to be absolutely wonderful?

Those are the same questions I ask of my Superstars. Who are you not to shine bright?! God has equipped you with all of the tools you need to be successful. Executive Reign is just here to polish them and give you the 5 Keys needed to help you OWN who you are! These keys will guide you into opening up a door full of endless possibilities.

  1. Fearlessness
  2. Confidence
  3. Positivity
  4. Adaptability
  5. The Ability to CHANGE the game

These 5 keys have prompted my Superstars to win titles, ascend to the top leadership positions on their campuses, and run some of the greatest organizations in the world. They understand that with these keys, they have the power to be whatever they want to be. Simply because Miss Canisha asked them, “Who are you NOT to be?”

Keep Shining, Superstars!
