Valentine's Day has a special place in my heart, as it is also my birthday. We always send Valentine wishes to all of our special friends.

We celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth by celebrating the life of Cicely Tyson. She was a formidable icon over the seven decades that she graced the world with her extraordinary talent, poise and determination. Her memoir, fittingly named JUST AS I AM, was released just prior to her death. She opened with a statement that reflected her grace and commitment to change, I was determined to do all I could to alter the narrative about Black people to change the way Black women in particular were perceived, by reflecting our dignity. Thank you, Cicely. #CicelyTyson https://nyti.ms/36PO5OC

Legal professionals were forced to quickly adapt to new and different ways of engaging with clients and managing cases. Experts predict that legal service delivery, technology, consolidation, and the "people experience" are going to be the drivers of successful firms in 2021. Critical to all is the ability to communicate effectively through any platform, video-conference or in-person, or hybrid. While the law hasn't changed, the delivery has. Are you ready? #Communication https://bit.ly/3jpLIXE

As video-conferencing becomes more commonplace, it is natural that we take it for granted. Maybe we don't sign in as early as we once did. Maybe we don't worry about taking a few extra minutes to check our professional appearance. And maybe we don't do a practice run of key points that we want to discuss. First impressions are lasting and can push a decision one way or another. At Communication Excellence Institute, we are experts at Executive Presence, both on and off screen. We work with clients to help them make lasting impressions and persuade their audience.

Today is #NationalWearRedDay to heighten awareness of heart disease and that it is the #1 cause of death for women. Won't you join me in wearing red and supporting the #GoRedForWomen cause?
