I really enjoy listening to the radio in my car. I love that when I don't like what is playing, I can just change the station to something else that I enjoy.
BTW: I sing out loud in the car by myself. I don't care who is watching.
Now that a lot of healing has taken place and my mom is doing better, I am ready to embark on one of my vision board items...Consulting.
I put consulting on my vision board at the beginning of 2021, and it is happening for me. I am super excited about the multiple consulting opportunities that have come my way. I will be using my 25+ years of IT experience and my former IT roles to help transform how organizations utilize technology.
I thought when I became the CIO for the City of Memphis, it was the finished puzzle. Little did I know, it was only another piece of the puzzle. This new piece is more of what counts and less of the things that never mattered.
I was in a meeting recently listening to a high-ranking executive. He said, "In this company, we do not care about titles, we care about each other and helping everyone succeed." I went on mute so that they wouldn't hear me yell HALLELUJAH! When you have been inundated by ranks and superiority, it is a breath of fresh air to interact with those who are intelligent for real and don't try to use a title to make up for what they really don't know.
I will be taking you on my consulting journey and looking at tech from a different lens. I anticipate exciting things to come as I change the station on how I work and embark on something new.
Since my last blog, I had my 50th birthday celebration. It was amazing and I want to share the video with my Tech Tea family. My daughter did a fantastic job planning this for me!
Change Management is key right now. Make sure you have a solid change management plan before you proceed with any major technology changes. If you need any help with this, let me know.

Praise God that your mother’s health has improved. Happy birthday and best of luck on building your consulting practice.
OMG, you just brought such a smile to my face on this rather frustrating morning. You look so beautiful and I am soooooooooo happy to hear about your Mom and your consulting. Thank you for lifting my spirits.....
