LaKisha C. Brooks, Atlanta Leadership Consultant and Author of Learn, Lead and Leave a Legacy in the Workplace: How to Advance Women to the Top, parallels leadership and pageantry: going from “crown to corporate”.
Atlanta, Georgia, United States - September 4, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —
Offering a wide variety of leadership and training programs and classes to help women manage their careers and develop their leadership skills, LaKisha C. Brooks, M.S., M.Ed., Founder and CEO of Brooks Enterprise and Consultants, challenges women to reach their full personal and professional potential. LaKisha C. Brooks Challenges Women to Learn, Lead and Leave a Legacy.
Ms. Brooks’ organizational clients face the unique challenge of recruiting, refining, recognizing or retaining women. When executive leaders discuss real challenges on how to advance and retain women within their companies, LaKisha shares solutions that move beyond the surface. “Initially, organizations state they have something similar. However, when I share my Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) for Women, they realize my leadership development program’s ROI increases self-awareness, motivation, retention, and productivity.”
The ELP for Women, approved and endorsed by professors at Central Michigan University, is a leadership formula for frontline managers and small business owners alike. Along with taking varied assessments including the 360 degree, participants engage in leadership training units with key deliverables where women connect and collaborate on projects that solve real-world business challenges. Additionally, through their leadership and career journey, the women maintain a journal, which serves as a working document of their accomplishments and achievements. The journal serves as a record to share with their managers as they progress in their careers.
On an individual level, LaKisha helps her clients answers three burning questions: “how can I move up in my career?”, “what is the best career development strategy for me?”, and “what do I need to do in my career to achieve success?” “The difference my program makes in the careers and the lives of women I coach, is that we are a team and it’s about me working with them to achieve success.”
As the author of Learn, Lead and Leave a Legacy in the Workplace: How to Advance Women to the Top, Ms. Brooks is set apart from her competitors because of her perspective as a global, millennial leader. She brings the shift in mindset to leaders on how organizations can prepare and train the next generation of creative, innovative leaders. Another unique perspective LaKisha possesses – pageant experience. As the former Ms. Alabama U.S., she parallels leadership and pageantry, going from “crown to corporate” and highlighting disciplines necessary to succeed including competition, poise, and confidence – all needed to get the crown or job deserved.”
"Ms. Lakisha Brooks presented her "Intro to Leadership Workshop" at Clark Atlanta University. She discussed the importance of leadership, styles of leadership, and presented a global concept of leadership as it relates to gender and race. As an attendee, I can verify that the information was helpful and forced those in attendance to think about their place in society in the aspect of contributing to the development of a diverse global market." ~ Alicia Fontnette Gobert- Clark Atlanta University PhD, Africana Women's Studies.
“Create the strength, discipline, and freedom to define your best self” is one of LaKisha’s personal mantras.
In 2016 Brooks Enterprise and Consultants will launch an online Academy consisting of a few certificate programs. The Academy will include career, leadership, and personal development courses related to the advancement of women. Classes will be taught in self-paced, live, and hybrid formats.
