May 19th, 7:30 PM EST, I’ll be hosting my monthly webinar “How To Be An Effective Networker” 

If you’re reading this and thinking, “This might be something I’d like to attend,” you should! In fact, if any of the following resonate with you, then you should absolutely attend:

 1. You hate “small talk.”
 2. You cringe at the thought of someone asking, “Hey, can you tell us a fun fact to share in an email?”
 3. You’ve been at a social gathering, holding your drink, waiting for someone to make eye contact so you can start a conversation — just to avoid standing around awkwardly!

Join me for an hour and a half of intentional conversations, a workshop activity, and the opportunity to meet people who share the same goals as you!

What you’ll gain by the end of the webinar:

 1. A fresh perspective on what effective networking really is.
 2. Insider tips from someone who has spent hundreds of hours obsessing over why networking is so important, yet feels so draining.
 3. The chance to practice connecting with others — without the pressure of doing it on your own!

How to Be an Effective Networker!

Two years ago, I started channeling my energy into The Follow Up, my culture and networking coaching program. After obsessing over the concepts of social capital and networking for the past 10+ years, I wanted to find a way to share my perspective with the world. On April 30th, I’ll be hosting my first webinar on how to be an effective networker!

If you’re reading this and thinking, “This might be something I’d like to attend,” you should! In fact, if any of the following resonate with you, then you should absolutely attend:

 1.	You hate “small talk.”
 2.	You cringe at the thought of someone asking, “Hey, can you tell us a fun fact to share in an email?”
 3.	You’ve been at a social gathering, holding your drink, waiting for someone to make eye contact so you can start a conversation — just to avoid standing around awkwardly!

Join Us for a Special Alumni Gathering!

Fordham Preparatory School, Regis High School, and Xavier High School’s BIPOC alumni will come together to celebrate Black History Month in Brooklyn on February 27th.  If you’re interested in attending, feel free to reach out to me

Organizing an event like this has been a long time coming. After years of trial and error, I’ve learned valuable lessons that have prepared us for this moment.

If you’re an alum of color from any of these three institutions, come out and celebrate the start of something truly special. Hope to see you there!

Turn off all distractions and sit in front of a mirror. Set a timer for a minute and answer the following question: “Who am I”. 

How did that feel? Did you only state facts that can be googled? Are you able to talk without saying “um”? If someone heard your answer, would you be okay with that being your first impression? 

The Pivot is a coaching practice meant to help you love your answer, which becomes the foundation to your Pivot! 

Whether you’re pivoting careers and/or mindset, this is the place to start. Message me if you want to learn more information! by @ernest509

Our love story is my absolute favorite, and you are truly a blessing like no other. I feel SO incredibly grateful to say that the little boy from my block who was then in my 4th grade class who then became my best friend who then became my boyfriend is now my fiancé! 

Our path has been ours, and as I reflect on our incredible friendship and the lives we’ve lived, it’s so crystal clear. #ItWasAlwaysYou my biffle ❤️

Thank you to all of our friends and family for keeping the secret LOL, flawlessly executing, and celebrating with us all week long!
