This week, I officially ended my tenure as a Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women, Black in Business mentee. I am now a full fledged alumnus.

Our graduation was this past Tuesday. In true OMBW fashion, we were given our final charges, delivered by several speakers, including Goldman Sachs executives, officials, advisors, and fellow alumni.

I was deeply impacted by the messages delivered by each speaker. I made a note of some of the most important takeaways:

💲Failure is a necessary part of getting things done.

💲Relationships are important. Maintain them.

💲Be tunnel visioned but keep an open-mind for adjacent opportunities.

💲Seek mentorship and mentor others.

💲Keep arrogance in check. It's a threat to success.

💲Do you. You will succeed in different ways from others.

💲Maintain curiosity and lead with humility.

💲Bet on yourself.

💲Build your own table.

💲Embrace human (network) and digital intelligence. Your network is your most valuable resource. Be open to learning digital tools. It's not either or.

💲Whatever your dreams are, you can do it.

💲Build your network. You are not alone.

💲Your time is now. Seize it.

💲If it's easy, it's probably not worthwhile.

💲I am not alone.

💲I made it and I got this.

💲Be careful who you ask and share with. Remember when and where to be vulnerable and vicious.

💲Language is powerful. What we say to ourselves and to others matters. We must speak our truth.

💲The goal is not perfection but consistency because steady effort creates lasting progress, while waiting for perfection stops action, and small repeated steps build real habits.

💲Be ok with letting the wrong people go.

💲Freedom is not only about removing obstacles. It also about creating pathways.

There is much to be processed and a plethora of processes to be implemented. I have work to do!

I am deeply grateful for this experience 🙏.

"If you don't disrupt yourself, you will be disrupted" - Adopted

My appreciation for the Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women in Business mentoring program cannot be overstated. This program came at a time when a plethora of changes are happening in my industry, and when pivoting can no longer be considered an option.

I don't believe I have had to work this hard (still am) since shifting careers from engineering to behavioral health.

From the onset, this experience was life-altering. I was forced to confront aspects of my personal life - beliefs around money, my view of self, limiting core beliefs and narratives, my potential, and my capacity to evolve; as well as my business - value proposition, process efficiency, and scalability.

I was forced to have many uncomfortable conversations with myself, including acknowleding areas where I was just not up to par or even failing.

Thanks to OMBW, I now have a clearer understanding of my vision for my business, my financials, and what it will take to move to the next level.

Out of this experience, so far, I launched a new flagship service - GBH Solutions Group (gbhsolutionsgroup.com), that will focus exclusively on providing psychological support to mid-level and safety leaders in high-risk, high-stakes environment, through both individual and organizational avenues.

The program has come to an end and I am looking forward to our upcoming graduation in July. But, the real work is really just beginning.

Change is the one constant we will all encounter. I am truly grateful to Goldman Sachs and the Jumpstart team for positioning me to be the captain of this event.

This past weekend, I finally got to connect and break bread with the Atlanta sisterhood of Goldman Sachs OMBW, Cohort 9.

These women are such an inspiration.

As they shared their stories, aspirations, pursuits, and lessons learned from the OMBW experience, I felt even more charged up about my own journey.

What I really appreciate about this community is that, when we get to talking, you seriously begin to discover how much you are not alone. That many of the challenges I am facing, others are facing as well.

A few of us have made the commitment to remain supportive and to hold each other accountable, as we continue to implement the lessons learned.

We were never meant to do life alone. Grateful for community.

This is us!

Enjoying our downtime together at the waterfront after a long day of sessions and presenting at the Safety On The Edge Global Forum in Baltimore.

I am super-grateful for this wonderful experience to share the stage with such power-houses, Liz Horvath and Arijana Haramincic.

We spent weeks preparing for our panel discussion on "Psychological Safety Is Not Psychological Comfort: Leading People Under Pressure Without Causing Harm," and successfully delivered to a very intuned group of leaders.

It is very clear that more and more leaders are embracing this concept and practice of psychological safety in their workplaces. Our session sought to reinforce its importance, and to lay out a road-map of what it looks like in practice, while highlighting its implication for human performance, productivity, and accountability.

Psychological safety is not meant to undermine productivity. However, without its integration into the organization's culture, productivity will eventually be eroded.

And it should begin the moment a prospect is being interviewed for the new position.

Safety On The Edge Global Forum 26 is a few days away!

Gearing up once again to engage this year's contingency of global leaders on a very poignant discussion, alongside fellow panelists and outstanding women leaders, Liz Horvath and Arijana Haramincic, on May 6th.

Our session,

"Psychological Safety Is Not Psychological Comfort: Leading People Under Pressure Without Causing Harm,"

Will explore the intersect between psychological safety, pressure and performance and what this means for organizational leaders and workforce development.

Rather than inhibit performance, growth and accountability, we will make the case that psychological safety is less about protecting workers from pressure, and more about leading them through in a productive and psychologically supportive way. Why? Because you cannot separate the person from the worker.

If you will be in the attendance, I would love to connect!

Most critical incident response plans are designed to answer one question:

"How quickly can we restore operations?" And that matters—especially in high-risk environments where delays carry real consequences.

But here’s the harder question leaders don’t always ask: "Is operational recovery the same as full recovery?"

In many organizations, the moment an investigation closes and corrective actions are implemented, the incident is considered “resolved.” On paper, stability is restored. In reality, a second layer of risk often remains—less visible, but just as consequential:

Psychological instability.

We saw this clearly in the aftermath of COVID-19. Even after organizations regained operational footing, nearly 40% of employees continued to report significant mental health challenges tied to the experience.

The implication for safety leaders is clear:

If your response plan restores operations but does not address the psychological impact of the experience, leaving people distressed, dysregulated, and cognitively overloaded, risk hasn’t been eliminated—it’s been displaced.

True recovery requires synchronization between operational stability and psychological stability.

How can leaders integrate both—without compromising speed, credibility, or performance?

That is the conversation I will be advancing at the ASSP Region IV Professional Development Conference in Atlanta, GA this Thursday, April 23. Looking forward to joining my safety professionals.
