This One Belief Put Me in the Room with Johnny C. Taylor, Jr.

This past week on Coffee with Kelly, I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Johnny C. Taylor, Jr.—President & CEO of SHRM, bestselling author, and one of the most respected voices in leadership today.

This was more than just an interview. It was a moment I had dreamed of. And guess what? I manifested it.

That’s right—one of the biggest lessons I’m walking away with from this special day is this: Manifesting our dreams does work. I believed it was possible. I stayed open. I kept showing up. And I found myself in the room with someone I’ve admired for years.

So, let me ask you:
👉 What are you manifesting into your life?

Maybe it’s that dream role within your organization.

Maybe it’s working for a company you've always looked up to.

Or maybe, just maybe, it's turning that passion project into your full-time gig—building your own empire, brick by brick.

Whatever it is, hold the vision. Keep taking those small steps. And surround yourself with people and conversations that fuel your growth.

And don’t forget to join me this Friday on Coffee with Kelly as we unpack this incredible conversation together and explore the leadership lessons we can all apply. Let’s keep learning, growing, and manifesting the life and leadership we were meant for.

With gratitude,

Kelly
