I’m particularly proud of my team of contractors now – the ones I speak to every day and the specialists who jump in and out of projects as needed. When you hit on a great dynamic like this, retention is the name of the game. Here’s how I maintain great professional relationships that lead to long-term partnerships:

Early August was hectic. I traveled to Martha’s Vineyard for the second annual Momentum Summit, bringing together leaders from the social justice, Black philanthropy and education spaces to connect and collaborate on issues facing the community. This event, which I created with Dr. Tashion Macon, is a labor of love—emphasis on both labor and love!

When it’s hot outside, temperatures inside can spike, as well. This month, I’m thinking about conflict at work, because summertime’s easy-going reputation can be deceptive. Yes it’s typically vacation season, a time filled with more kicking back and enjoying cold ones at the barbecue.

Emotions in the workplace can be a difficult challenge to navigate. That’s why I’m grateful that last week was Juneteenth, the day we collectively remember, honor, and celebrate the emancipation of enslaved people in this country.

At Leverette Weekes, we know that diversity builds strong teams, and we are passionate about inclusion. When my parents started this company in the ‘70s, it was because they realized that people were being left out of economic opportunities. That costs all of us. It costs us opportunities for internally vetted ideas, new perspectives, and to mitigate risks.

Happy belated Easter, Passover, and Ramadan to all who celebrated. May we all feel renewed and have our spirits refreshed!

I’m so excited to welcome Jai Winston on board as a Senior Consultant.
