Ok people, I hope you are all doing well. I’m asking this with intention. And with care. QUESTIONS FOR THOSE COMFORTABLE SHARING How did you receive the racist image of the Obamas that was posted by that individual? What did it stir in you—emotionally, mentally, physically? Because for many, this was not “just an image.” It landed as trauma. It reopened fear. It reminded people—especially Black people—that no amount of excellence, dignity, brilliance, or service inoculates you from hatred. WHAT MAKES THIS WORSE I understand he has since made a video taking responsibility, while simultaneously insisting he has nothing to apologize for. That matters. Because responsibility without remorse is not accountability. Ownership without empathy is not growth. Free speech without conscience becomes violence—slow, corrosive violence. WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US? Not just Black people. Everyone with a living conscience. Because when racism is dismissed, rationalized, or laughed off, it doesn’t only wound its immediate targets. It deforms the moral spine of a society. Let’s be honest: Some consciences are not merely asleep. They are deadened. Repeated exposure without consequence does that. FOR THOSE FEELING SHAKEN Your reaction is valid. Your anger is valid. Your exhaustion is valid. You are not “too sensitive.” You are responding appropriately to dehumanization. Silence doesn’t keep the peace. It keeps the wound open. So I’m asking again—because this matters: How did you take it? And what do you think we owe one another in moments like this—if we claim to be human, if we claim to have conscience? I’m listening.

Today, I ask that you kindly permit yourself. Permission to slow down. Permission to breathe. Permission to protect your mind from the constant toxicity we’re swimming in—on social media, on the news, everywhere. Yes, I know. Everyone is carrying something. Some are carrying a lot more than they let on. But today—today is different. Today, even at work, take it easy. Today, on your way home, sing that song you love. Today, if you’re working from home, relax your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and exhale. Let today be a mental health recharging day. The weekend doesn’t start tomorrow. It starts now. This is exactly what I’ve been doing myself—resetting my head after some of the hardest work seasons. Because you can’t pour from an empty cup. And you can’t think clearly when your mind is under constant attack. And while you’re resetting, here’s something meaningful I want to share. We’ve officially launched a new online learning platform, and the first 1,000 people get in FREE. After that, it becomes paid. Thank you—truly—to those who have already joined us from all over the world and started taking the free courses. If you’re already inside, do this today: Visit the platform at https://www.skool.com/schoolofgreatness Take one or two courses. And if it’s not for you, you have the option to exit. Simple. Honest. Respectful. But here’s what’s inside: Over 500 courses. More than 300 speakers. Covering leadership development, executive and strategic management, change management, and deeply personal growth topics like decision-making, discovering purpose, generating passion, and monetizing your gift. And yes—courses on social justice too. Black history. Anti-racism. Truth, awareness, and transformation. On top of that, every first Saturday of the month, we’ll host a FREE live group coaching session. I’ll be there. Some of my coaches will be there. We’ll talk, reflect, answer questions, and grow together. The value of this?

YEAH!! WE ARE GROWING — SURELY AND ALWAYS!! Family, this community is alive. And it is growing because of you. Now let’s do something powerful together. Take a moment to identify yourself so we can appreciate you and encourage you. Use this space to share who you are and feel free to put in a plug for your brand, business, book, product, or service. This is a safe, supportive ecosystem. No shrinking. No hiding. Don’t hesitate, my friend, because we are in this together. And if you know anyone who needs constant support and free coaching, invite them in. This community was built for that very reason. WAIT A MINUTE — I JUST GOT AN IDEA!! Let’s turn growth into a shared mission. Let’s see how many people each of you can invite to join our International School of Greatness (ISG) Community. Here’s the fun part: The person who brings in the highest number of new members will receive 1,000 ISG Dollars 🎉 This credit can be used toward any of our paid programs. For example: Our Certification Programs in Life Coaching, Public Speaking, Transformational Leadership, and more are USD 500. And honestly, even without the incentive, how could you not share an opportunity like this with people you love? People who are hungry to grow. People who need a reminder of their greatness. So let’s go. Introduce yourself. Invite others. Let’s grow this movement together. Your coach and your friend, Nosakhare

I had a long list — one of those million-things-to-do kind of days. And if I’m being real, I pushed a few things off. Not because I didn’t care. Not because I was lazy. But because, like most days, priorities kept shifting. Distractions showed up. Maybe for you it’s a project you’re trying to finish, but your kids need you. Maybe you weren’t feeling great. Maybe it’s something as random as the neighbours dog barking nonstop. Distractions aren’t the problem. Life happens. The real question is what we do after the distraction. Do we give up on the day completely… or do we come back to our word? I’m learning that it’s not about finishing everything. There’s no shame in an unfinished list. The win is in the consistency — the willingness to return, to try again, to still choose progress even when the day didn’t go as planned. Even one thing done on a hard day is still movement. Even one kept promise rebuilds trust. The day isn’t over yet. There’s still time to show up — even quietly, even imperfectly. So if today threw you off, you’re not behind. Let’s keep going Let’s keep striving.
