Summary: Our guest on this episode of the Early Accountability podcast is Meredith Moore Crosby, a leadership coach with her family’s company, Leverette Weekes. After growing up in Minnesota, Meredith attended Howard University and worked her way through corporate America for many years, including working as the speechwriter for Don Thompson, the first African-American President and CEO of McDonald’s Corporation. During her time in the corporate world, she faced difficulties and limitations, but rather than surrendering in defeat, she decided to use what she had learned to help individuals and organizations as they navigated their corporate strategies and employee relations. By helping people walk through and comprehend what “success” means to them, and what goals beyond success they would like to achieve, Meredith provides an invaluable service to her clients that creates opportunities both now and in the future. In addition to her one-on-one services, she is in her second year of offering the PR Bootcamp course that gives entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs a community to bounce ideas off of and further solidify their business plans. Meredith also conducts a writing challenge in which she encourages everyone to write daily in order to dispell the fear associated with writing and develop this crucial skill for the participants’ personal and professional lives. Topics Covered in this Episode: • Using your definition of “success” to guide your aspirations • Creating opportunities in your spheres of influence • Advocating for yourself in the corporate setting
