“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”  – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Episode Summary: Every leader has an important discovery to make about themselves – the content of their character. With cities still burning and activists still protesting, one thing is clear – getting to the core of who we are is one of the ways we will be the change we wish to see.

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Donald Morton and we have a conversation that was initially intended to offer insight on how to face the “new normal” COVID-19 has created as cities begin to reopen. And even though our dialog was focused on providing practical tips and strategies to move forward in the midst of a pandemic, every word that Donald spoke is relevant right now as we continue to unpack the racial unrest sweeping our nation. I felt that now more than ever, we need to hear positive black male voices offering valuable insight. If we listen, we will not only get to the core of who we are, but emerge better, stronger and ready to shake the planet.

Listen in to discover:

  • The powerful three-part self-assessment every self-proclaimed leader must complete
  • How to define your core values for yourself and how to use them to shape they way you serve others
  • Why today’s leaders must lean in vs leaning back in crisis

Powerful Donald Morton Quotes from the Episode:
