 Personal Board of Directors - Episode 4 Marshea Pratt: [00:00:00] [00:00:00] Hello, everyone and welcome to the Black and Brave podcast. A podcast for those who want to be set free from the things that hold them back.  My name is Marshea Pratt, and I am your host. [00:00:18] In today's episode, I will be talking about my journey to create my personal board of directors: the criteria to select the people who ended up on my personal board of directors, what I hoped to get out of the experience, what I've learned along the way, and the benefits from having all of these wonderful people in my life. Hopefully, it will inspire you to create your own personal board of directors as well.  Enjoy.[00:00:46] When Michelle Obama was still in the White House.  I remember watching a very interesting documentary about her and how she operates.  She [00:01:00] discussed that it was absolutely pivotal in her life to have a personal board of directors.  in that moment, I was thinking to myself, “If she can utilize a personal board of directors (in addition to her own knowledge, skills, and abilities) and reach the level of success that she's at now, I surely could learn something about creating my own personal board of directors and leveraging that for my own success.[00:01:34] The first question I asked myself was, “What do I really want to get out of this experience of having my own personal board of directors?” “What does it look like?” “What are the outcomes that I want to see in my life as a result of having my inner circle designed in this specific way?”[00:01:53] I felt like I was in a rut. I needed to make more than change. [00:02:00]. I needed to actually transform into a bigger, better version of myself. I definitely wanted to elevate my life.  I felt like I was living a very mediocre life and I wanted to live a more extraordinary life. I was going through so many struggles at the time.   I was dealing with various layers of emotions about different relationships….some that were working out well (and I wanted to continue) and other relationships that were a disaster (and I want it to end them).  I felt like I needed to surround myself with people who had walked these roads before and come out the other side, stronger and more determined.[00:02:42] I also wanted to get connected, deeply connected, with people who could open doors of opportunity for me, as well as challenge me to use the gifts that God gave me to step WAY out of my comfort zone.  I was thinking, if I could surround [00:03:00] myself with the right people. I could go from living life at maybe 70%, to living life at 100% and just going for all the things that God had for me! [00:03:11] Even though it might sound strange, I really wasn't focused on the things that I do really badly or the failures in my life.  My focus was on what am I good at and how can I get from good to great, and how can these folks help me get there.[00:03:31] Last but not least, I wanted to have more power and influence, in my personal life and in my professional life.  I wanted to be connected with people who make power moves and shifts on a regular basis. One thing that I've learned in this life, is that real change and transformation take place when you leverage your power and influence.  I didn't feel [00:04:00] like, at that time, I had a good harness on that. I knew that I had more power within me that I could tap into.  I also felt like I had some influence in the workplace. And I really wanted to figure out a way to have more, so that I could make more impact.[00:04:18] Once I was clear on what I wanted to get out of the experience, the next step for me was to prepare my heart, my mind, and my spirit for the journey.  I began to pray and meditate specifically over the areas in which I wanted this personal board of directors to transform my life.  I also was thinking about the people in my life currently. Who needed to stay and who needed to go in order for this process to work?  As I mentioned earlier, I had some relationships in my life that were NOT healthy. I knew that if I was going to go from good to great, [00:05:00] I needed to end those relationships. I knew that was going to be challenging. I wanted to be strengthened spiritually for that piece of this journey. [00:05:09] Through that process, a couple of key things came to mind.  One was that I was going to have to be very transparent with this board of directors.  I couldn't hold anything back. I needed to be completely open and vulnerable. I needed to be able to be my full, authentic self without feeling any judgment or feeling shame or embarrassment. I didn't have anything to prove to them. I could share anything and everything that I wanted and feel a sense of comfort and peace in their presence. If I wasn't feeling that type of energy from them, I knew it wasn't going to be a good fit for me. [00:05:55] Secondly, I also had to acknowledge and [00:06:00] accept...
