Much like the SWOT analysis that I learned in business school years ago, there are many leadership lessons borrowed and adopted from the rank and file of military figures both past and present.  You simply can’t win military campaigns without strong and effective leadership.  And you can’t make progress in business, or community projects or on government initiatives without strong leadership.

Are leaders born or made from their experiences of life? That’s a question we’ll ask our guest today. Deborah L. Parker learned much from her own military career as a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the US Army. And she learned even more from her uncle, Command Sergeant Major Harris L. Parker, who she affectionately called Uncle Horace.  She captured that insight in her new book, Hardcore Leadership: 11 Master Lessons From My Airborne Ranger Uncle’s Final Jump. 
What does leadership mean to you?  And when does a leader need to switch gears so that others can follow more effectively? 

We’ll explore leadership and its many lessons on today’s show.


About The Author:

The route of following the path of your calling led Deborah to start a motivational speaking, leadership and personal development practice, The DPJ  Training Group, over 15 years ago. Springing this enterprise forth after numerous other careers from a social worker to army officer and corporate manager, she uses the insight gained from these opportunities to now train and coach employees in her client organizations on practical ways to overcome challenges in the workplace or other parts of their lives.  She is known as dynamic, inspiring and practical in her approach by those who’ve attended her workshops and motivational speaking engagements.


Deborah  is the author of 3 books. A motivational memoir,  Navigating Life’s Roadways: Stories of Insight from My Odyssey and Inspiration For Your Journey, was published in July 2011. She has ventured into the ebook space and Life is A Review: Observations and Collections of My Passages Through the Times is available on Amazon. Her book (October 2012) is For People of Strength, Soul, and Spirit: Seven Guidelines for Life & Career Success, which explores the African American story as powerful lessons in goal achievement.  Her latest book, Hardcore Leadership: 11 Master Lessons from My Airborne Ranger Uncle’s “Final Jump”  chronicles the life and in charge pursuits of her late uncle retired Command Sergeant  Major, Vietnam Vet, along with his community positions as a former Chief Magistrate, Chair of Sussex County Board of Supervisors and Ranger Hall of Fame Inductee with takeaways for leaders in business and professional situations.

In past writing pursuits, Deborah has published articles on business, career and lifestyle issues for publications such as the Alexandria Old Town Crier,Washington Afro-American Newspaper, Metro Herald and Arizona’s Black Executive Magazine.

As a heterosexual diversity professional, I have had connections to the LGBT community for my entire life. And I am a devout Christian.  My children's godfather is gay.  A very close personal friend of our family was gay.  And I have had lesbian friends for many years. For me, it's just the way it is…some people are straight like me. Some people are not. And in that spirit I openly endorsed the Massachusetts court ruling on same sex marriage in 2004, much to the horror of some of my would be friends and clients. 

Now nine years later LGBT and same sex marriage issues are part of our everyday conversation.  And today, to shed light on a very personal experience of what it's like to live in the LGBT community, my guest is Simma Lieberman.  My friend for many years. A well respected diversity and inclusion consultant from Berkeley, California.  And a lesbian mother who recently shared her evolution on same sex marriage following the death of her partner of 18 years, Sandra Brown.  Her commentary was just published on the CNN website…and its heartwarming account of two women in love will cause you to re-examine your own perspective on LGBT issues.

Stop long enough and listen to today's show.  And share the interview with your friends and colleagues so that you can explore LGBT issues with greater clarity and confidence.

When Terrorism Comes To YOUR Backyard

When the two bombs blew my city apart at 2:50 pm on April 15, 2013, I was leading my group on the Cultural Caribbean Cruise that had been planned for more than a year. We had just docked in San Juan, Puerto Rico and I was able to turn my phone back on and check my email massages.  As I finished that task and prepared to get off the ship to enjoy parts of the island, my phone rang. It was my childhood friend, Denise Gray Felder, calling in a panic.  “Carole!  Where are you?  Are you and Michelle safe? How close are you to the explosion that just happened at the finish line of the Boston Marathon?” 

I thanked my friend for calling and reassured her that we were thousands of miles away from the scene of the amazing event. I collected my thoughts, wiped the shock off my face, and desperately searched the internet for more information on this breaking story. I had just sent off unrelated emails to friends and colleagues and learned that one friend had just handed the award to the winning female marathon runner more than half an hour before the first bomb exploded. 

And as the day continued I would learn the extend of the damage and the connections I personally had to the dead and injured.  The good people of Puerto Rico, St. Maarten and St. Kitts were closely watching the Boston bombings and extended their sympathies to me as we traveled from one island to another. As soon as the guests on the ship heard the news they wanted to know if I or those who traveled with me had any loved ones or friends injured or displaced by the blasts. We did.  One of my church member’s neighbors was the classmate of the dead eight year old boy.  One of my sorority sister’s son was injured and hospitalized because of the bombings.  One of our cruise traveler’s son was a television cameraman covering the marathon, and thankfully was not injured.  And the connections just kept going deeper and deeper into the fabric of this horrific event.

I took this terrorist act PERSONALLY.  These two demonic young monsters tried to destroy MY city.  They killed and injured the innocent who just wanted to watch a good race by cheering on their friends and loved ones straight through the finish line. I am heartbroken by the families who are burying their children, students, young adults and police officers.  I go numb when I think about the 13+ newly minted amputees who are starting life all over again with artificial limbs.  I am saddened  by the the two businesses, Marathon Place and The Forum Restaurant, now boarded up, unable to reopen because they are an active crime scene.

And as the chair of the Multicultural Committee of the Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau, I took these bombings PERSONALLY. Our committee and our Bureau have worked for nearly 20 years to eradicate the stigma of racial hostility that still lingers with some people. This incident was a personal affront to all of the efforts of our committee and Bureau. I was concerned that it would further hurt the Boston brand and keep diverse conventions, conferences, meetings and family reunions away from our city.

Fortunately the swift actions of our city leaders dashed that threat.

My heart leaped for joy when I watched onboard ship via satellite TV the dramatic chase, gun battle and ultimate capture of the wounded 19 year old brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. We didn’t have to worry about his 26 year old brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The police filled his body with bullets and baby brother ran him over in a stolen vehicle, only to escape into the streets of Watertown, Massachusetts. 

Thank God for our diverse group of elected officials and law enforcement officers in greater Boston.  Led by the state’s first African American governor, Deval Patrick and supported by our first Black president, Barack Obama, they all worked as ONE in a decisive manner locking down entire cities to ensure the safety of its people.  
In less than five days, it was over. The mastermind of this reign of terror was dead.  The other brother captured, thanks to an alert Watertown homeowner who was curious about why his boat was tampered.

On the evening of April 24th following an Advisory meeting of the Boston Chapter National Black MBA Association, I drove down newly reopened Boylston Street to see the damage for myself.  Yes, I found the boarded up businesses now labeled part of a crime scene and captured them on my camera. But I took pride in thanking one of the police officers at the scene for his service to our city.  He took great satisfaction in my compliment and grinned from ear to ear. 

Detroit is my beloved birthplace, but Boston has been my adopted home for more than 30 years.  I feel as much a part of the “Boston Strong” movement as everyone else in this region.  Boston is a great city and has proved once again that it will survive and thrive despite the forces of evil.  Yes, we have political, social, economic and educational issues, just like any other world class city. But we have a resilient power to press forward in defiant dignity.
Multiculturalism and Diversity were on full parade last week.  And so was the courage and commitment of ALL the people who live in my region.  Police and elected officials teamed up with everyday “folk” to capture the bad guys.  That is what I call faith in action. 

Boston Strong.  Boston Strong. BOSTON STRONG!!

Everyone has a “book inside of them.” But few actually publish one, let alone two or three. But what is it like when four women set a goal to publish a book together? Fun, frenetic and frightening at the same time.  That’s a good way to describe the journey that Michelle Porchia (Trumbull, Connecticut), Debra Gould (New Orleans), Nancy Lewis (Atlanta) and I had in crafting our book: Real Women Real Issues: Positive Collaborations For Business Success. And Michelle and Debra join me on today’s show to discuss the value of collaborative partnerships in an ever changing and competitive world.

The book is more than a business book. It’s explores the intersection of friendship, faith and collaboration between African American women who dare to dream.  From meeting each other more than 15 years ago at a National Speakers Association conference to forming our mastermind group, The Ebony Speakers in 2007, we’ve shared our joys and tragedies with each other, and now in our new book.

Listen to this interview and share it with others who dare to dream. It demonstrates how women who live in different parts of the country can support each other, outreach to the marketplace while achieving personal and professional success.

Alice Paul, the great Suffrage March organizer didn’t want them. The sight of 22 Black women from Howard University was disruptive to her cause.  And Southern Whites certainly had no use for them. They were considered the inferior race, prime targets for lynching, discrimination and real violence against women.

The time: March 1913. The day before the inauguration of President Elect Woodrow Wilson, who certainly had NO use for Black People or uppity women who did not know their place.

Despite all odds and the racial tension of the era, they marched anyway. They held the banner for the organization they had just formed two months earlier. Little did they realize that their act of courage would signal an ultimate victory that gave ALL women the right to vote by 1920.

Now 100 years later the 22 gave way to over 300,000 members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Armed with that historic sense of courage, my organization marched 15,000 strong on March 3, 2013 down the very Washington Streets that the original 22 walked for the cause. I was there on March 3rd, and this show is dedicated to the 22 who made the difference.

My name is Carole Copeland Thomas. I am proud member of Delta Sigma Theta, and this is Focus On Empowerment!

The Book For Anyone Thinking About The World Of Entrepreneurship
Co-Authored By
Carole Copeland Thomas


Five years in the making, Real Women Real Issues Positive Collaborations For Business Success is a book capturing the essence of businesswomen working together for positive change. I met Debra Gould, Nancy Lewis and Michelle Porchia nearly 20 years ago at a National Speakers Association national convention. We formed Ebony Speakers in 2007 and now we've just published our first book together. (This is my third book.)

If you are in business or thinking of starting one, this book is for you.

Real Women, Real Issues: Positive Collaborations for Business Success is a unique collaboration between four dynamic women coming together from many years of varied experience and from our own Mastermind group experience. Out of that came the concept of communicating with other women on the importance of maintaining quality personal, professional and business relationships with other people who promote positive living.

From years of experience in training, human resources and corporate consulting Debra Gould, Nancy Lewis, Michelle Porchia and I have crafted a power-packed ground breaking business guide for women and men of all ages and ethnicities.

Topics in the book include:
•Work-Life Balance
•Global Diversity
•Networking
•Relationship Economics
•Starting and Running A Business
•Working Through Difficulties and •Challenges

We've "been there and done that."  We know the dynamics of balancing family life with business and share our inner thoughts of how to make it all work. Each one of us has celebrated our triumphs while navigating the sting of tragedy. Our monthly conference call meetings have created an accountability that keep us going and move us closer to our goals.

This book shares our thoughts and strategies on building a business that can withstand the test of time. Every day won't generate a million dollars in sales.  But we will help you generate millions of new ideas and strategies that will take you to the next level in life and in your business cycle.
