ExecuHive also learned the following from Dr. Fergus Connolly and how pro athletes can help us in business and life.
- Two most important communication skills are self-talk (how we talk about ourselves) and the ability to listen.
- Performance over time is balancing a personal and purposeful life.
- You cannot give anyone your experience. They have to earn that on their own.
- Success is how long you can stay in the game and how much you can grow over time.

What is it REALLY like to perform like a professional athlete? Below are the lessons ExecuHive learned from Dr. Fergus Connolly about how the pros can help us in business and life.
- Fail. Fix. Fail Better.
- Be ruthlessly simple.
- Start with the big rocks first.
- Quality over quantity in training. Great players expend less energy as they get better and become more efficient.
- Remove the fear of getting out of your comfort zone and focus on your weakness to allow them to perform at an elite level over time.

Who said a strong leader of an organization had to handle everything on their own? Strong leaders understand and know they need a tribe to move their organization forward!
A strong leader takes a step back and does the following:
1. Asks the Board of Directors for assistance tackling an issue.
2. Evolves into a decisive leader.
3. Calculates the amount of risk in their decisions.
4. Focuses on growth, not just target numbers.
5. Builds and inspires culture and value for the organization.
What else does a strong leader do?

Our next inspiring African American woman is an American activist, community organizer, and executive, Tarana Burke. She was born on September 12, 1973. Tarana encountered numerous young women of color that were survivors of sexual violence and abuse. As a survivor of sexual abuse, she identified with these young women and her efforts shifted towards supporting them. She began to find ways to provide resources, support, and safe spaces for young women of color to share their stories. Hence the creation of the ‘me too’ Movement! Tarana led campaigns and launched initiatives around issues like housing inequality, racial discrimination, and economic injustice. Fueled by her passion for activism, she decided to attend Alabama State University, a Historically Black University (HBCU) to further develop her organizing skills and has been widely recognized for her work and was named Person of the Year by TIME Magazine in 2017.

Our next inspiring African American woman is an American television personality and retired professional boxer, Laila Ali. She was born on December 30, 1977.

But in reality, Laila carved out her own legacy as a boxer by winning all 24 of her bouts before retiring undefeated in 2007. She is also a fitness & wellness advocate, TV host, home chef, founder of the Laila Ali Lifestyle Brand, and mother of two. In 2012 when women’s boxing was included in the Olympics, Laila was the first woman in history to provide expert commentary for NBC Sports. Talk about “float like a butterfly sting like a bee”!
