Day 656 “My Podium View” before my speech today I took this photo of my family, friends and colleagues.

Day 656

Today I was blessed to have family, friends and colleagues join me at my 2013 FBI’s Director’s Community Leadership Award presentation by Special Agent in Charge Vincent Lisi, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Boston Division.

It seems the words I shared touched some. Here some text from one of the emails I received after the event:

“I just wanted to say congratulations on your very deserving award today. What you said up there in the boardroom was amazing – this quote is going on my fridge for my two kids and myself when I get home, thank you!

“Have the will to be greater than you already are …” –Thaddeus Miles’”

A Big Thank You too David France for his amazing musical tribute, what a Violinist.

I’m working to be a better man/person every day and with your help I hope to get there one day. Looking forward to meeting James B. Comey the seventh Director of the FBI at this spring national Presentation.

Thanks again everyone!

Fast Company, the premier magazine about media and technology, put out one of those lists again. This time it’s the 25 Smartest Women on Twitter. Though the list is not meant to be exhaustive, it is still severely lacking in terms of diversity.

The list, featured in the magazine’s “Work Smart” section, was published days after Harvard’s Shorenstein Center and Neiman Journalism Lab published a report that contained interviews with 61 media movers and shakers about the collision of journalism and digital technology; only two of the interviewees– two men — were persons of color. Like the Shorenstein and Neiman report, Fast Company’s list highlights familiar faces in media and technology circles including CNN’s Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour and NBC News Correspondent (and former first daughter) Chelsea Clinton. Fast Company also features less familiar power-brokers including Genevieve Bell, an Australian anthropologist and researcher who is a…
