Speaker 3: I'm doing wonderful. Just came off of a event over
Speaker 3: the weekend in Ohio honoring my son and it was
Speaker 3: a wonderful turnout. So I'm kind of on cloud nine.
Speaker 3: And I also, you know, normally when people say this,
Speaker 3: they aren't excited, but I received a letter from the
Speaker 3: IRS today, But it was a good letter. It was
Speaker 3: confirming that Rooted in Service is officially five oh one

Speaker 3: encourage listeners. What does it take to transform personal adversity
Speaker 3: into a legacy of hope, service and generational change. Well,
Speaker 3: that's what today's episode is all about. I welcome Tyra Lee,
Speaker 3: affectionately known as Coach t, a globally recognized speaker, Christian leader, humanitarian, entrepreneur, wife, mother,
Speaker 3: and visionary founder of Legacy Approach and the Global Ambassador
Speaker 3: Queen program, which I am honored to say that I
Speaker 3: am miss Global Ambassador Queen Wisconsin. Now drawing from her
Speaker 3: experiences as a former foster youth. Coach T has turned
Speaker 3: the challenges of our past into the foundation of a
Speaker 3: powerful mission, helping others overcome adversity, discover their purpose, strengthen
Speaker 3: their leadership, and recognize the greatest greatness greatness already within them. Together,
Speaker 3: we will explore the inspiration behind her organizations, the challenges
Speaker 3: she has faced while building them, and the faith, determination,
Speaker 3: and sense of purpose that keep her moving forward even
Speaker 3: in building them forward, even on the most difficult days.
Speaker 3: During building Up, Coach T also shares what legacy truly
Speaker 3: means to her, how she balances leadership, business, family, and community,
Speaker 3: and what she would tell someone who feels called to
Speaker 3: make a difference but does not know where to start. So,
Speaker 3: thank you so much for being on the show today,
Speaker 3: Coach Gean.
Speaker 2: You're welcome. Thank thank you for having me.
Speaker 3: So during this first segment, we're going to get to
Speaker 3: know you a little bit better. So tell us about yourself.
Speaker 3: What is Legacy Approach and what inspired you to start
Speaker 3: Legacy Approach and the Global Ambassador Queen program.
Speaker 2: So thank you for that question. So, Legacy Approach is
Speaker 2: an events and business solutions company which not only he
Speaker 2: does business, but we also do a lot of community
Speaker 2: works and involvement and a lot of giving back to
Speaker 2: the community. So, as I mentioned, it's an events in
Speaker 2: business solutions company which helps businesses grow substantially. Whether it
Speaker 2: is business coaching, it's helping them make their events extravagant
Speaker 2: with rentals, balloons, decor or we help people start their
Speaker 2: nonprofits LLCs or file paperwork that they need to be filed.
Speaker 2: As far as the global and Bath through the Queen program,
Speaker 2: it is tied to our Legacy Approach project, which is
Speaker 2: the Mental Health Project. So through that project we have
Speaker 2: our amazing queens who focus on mental health advocacy, mental
Speaker 2: health awareness and spread so much love and passion in
Speaker 2: the community. The reason why I started Legacy Approach is
Speaker 2: because I saw there was a need for businesses learning
Speaker 2: more about how they can start. Businesses needed more resources.
Speaker 2: As far as grants, we also do grant research. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of things that I saw there was a
Speaker 2: need for. But if I back up all the way
Speaker 2: to years ago, I founded an organization excuse me, other business,
Speaker 2: a different business and this is a rebrand, so the
Speaker 2: previous business was rooted as well. And the reason why
Speaker 2: I started everything, it's because of my story growing up.
Speaker 2: As you heard, I am a former foster you and
Speaker 2: a lot of resources or information weren't given to me.
Speaker 2: So I want to be that person. We're a one
Speaker 2: stop shop, so if there's anything you needed we don't
Speaker 2: have it, We're able to provide that resource or that
Speaker 2: connection for you. So that's why I created it. I
Speaker 2: didn't really have those type of resources, and when I
Speaker 2: would go to one organization or one company, they didn't
Speaker 2: have any answers on where we should go or how
Speaker 2: we can find whatever it is that we needed or
Speaker 2: I needed to grow in different areas of my personal
Speaker 2: or business life.
Speaker 3: I love that. And so you're trying to help those
Speaker 3: for things that you didn't have but needed so that
Speaker 3: they don't have the same problems that you did going forward. It. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so what impact were you hoping or are you hoping
Speaker 3: to me?
Speaker 2: Or impacts is being a voice for the voiceless, be
Speaker 2: a help for the help helpless, and making positive impact,
Speaker 2: whether it's an active kindness, spreading awareness about mental health,
Speaker 2: just being that person who helps someone get off their
Speaker 2: feet when they're filling down. The general impact is just
Speaker 2: being there for people when they need it most. Another
Speaker 2: thing that we also do is our mental health circles,
Speaker 2: and that's also tied to a partnership with a nonprofit.
Speaker 2: We want to be that voice that help, that assistance
Speaker 2: for the next person who needs it.
Speaker 3: I love that and it's so important, right because we
Speaker 3: truly do rise when we lift one another up and
Speaker 3: when we can help one another take some of that
Speaker 3: stress off. It helps with not only you know, personal
Speaker 3: development and growth, but also professional development and all those
Speaker 3: things that lead to mental health issues, you know, the stress,
Speaker 3: the sleepless nights, the finances, all that kind of stuff. Well,
Speaker 3: let's do this. Let's take a quick break and when
Speaker 3: we come back, we're going to talk about your journey.
Speaker 3: But before we go, tell folks how they can get
Speaker 3: a hold of you and learn more about your organizations
Speaker 3: and what you all do.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, one of the best ways is to follow
Speaker 2: us on Instagram, which is Global ambassad Queens with an S,

Speaker 3: back to my guest, Tyer Lee, affectionately known as Coach T.
Speaker 3: Thank you for so much for being on the show today.
Speaker 2: You're welcome. Thank you for having me. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Yes, so during our first segment we got to know
Speaker 3: you a little bit better. And during this segment we're
Speaker 3: going to talk about your journey and you mentioned a
Speaker 3: little bit of it during the last episode. But what
Speaker 3: our last episode, last segment. What challenges have you been
Speaker 3: faced with while building your organization.
Speaker 2: I thought like one of the major challenges was exposure,
Speaker 2: but we were able to champion that by using the
Speaker 2: previous resource that I obtained from other organizations and different
Speaker 2: collaborations that I've made and now we're okay. Another one
Speaker 2: of the challenges that I see not only our organizations,
Speaker 2: but so many other organizations was sponsors, making sure that
Speaker 2: we have sponsors who are committed, who are faithful, who
Speaker 2: are going to follow through. But now I know that
Speaker 2: we are working towards championing that and overcoming that particular
Speaker 2: obstacle with different policies and practices in place, such as
Speaker 2: contracts not just verbal agreements.
Speaker 3: Yes, definitely. So what keeps you motivated? Like on the
Speaker 3: good days, right and when we're chugging lin right along,
Speaker 3: having things go our way, and you know it's all
Speaker 3: sunshine and rainbows, it's easy to keep motivated and keep going.
Speaker 3: But what keeps you motivated on those hard days on
Speaker 3: when life gets in the way. I mean, I know
Speaker 3: you have a lot going on right now, but like,
Speaker 3: what on your lowest days, what keeps you motivated to
Speaker 3: keep going?
Speaker 2: I would say that one of the biggest things that
Speaker 2: keeps me motivated is remembering my why why did I
Speaker 2: even start? What is it that keeps me going? I
Speaker 2: have to remind myself of that question. So even for
Speaker 2: you guys, if you're not sure, if you want to
Speaker 2: keep going, just remember why you started. And if that
Speaker 2: why isn't strong enough to get you going or get
Speaker 2: you out of the bed in the morning, you need
Speaker 2: to find another why because it has to be strong.
Speaker 2: And one of my major whys is building a true
Speaker 2: legacy for my children to pass down generations.
Speaker 3: I love that. And has there been moments that reminded
Speaker 3: you of your why?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, and I mean even now you know, losing
Speaker 2: loved ones, it's just so saddening and you just want
Speaker 2: to stop your whatever you're doing. You want to stop
Speaker 2: your work, your business. But they wouldn't want that for you. Right,
Speaker 2: you have to pick yourself up, take your time to grieve,
Speaker 2: of course, take whatever time you need to grieve, but
Speaker 2: don't quit or give up because you're feeling the emotions.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying the emotions are going to disappear right away.
Speaker 2: They may never disappear. Or you have to figure out
Speaker 2: how you're able to manage and balance the emotions with
Speaker 2: your business or your life in general. And another thing
Speaker 2: that I want to share is there's times where it's hard.
Speaker 2: You know. Let's say I want to say years ago,
Speaker 2: just a little bit about my story. I'll be quick.
Speaker 2: I was a college student many many years ago, and
Speaker 2: I have four jobs, but I was still struggling to
Speaker 2: make ends meet, and I just wanted to quit college.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to give up. But I had to
Speaker 2: remember why I started, Like I just wanted to throw
Speaker 2: on a towel because I didn't have enough money to
Speaker 2: pay for books. I didn't have enough money to pay
Speaker 2: for the school tuition. I'd have anything, And I remembered
Speaker 2: I started an MLM, and I just was like, wait,
Speaker 2: why did I even start this MLM? So I was like, okay,
Speaker 2: I started so I can finish school. I started so
Speaker 2: I can generate revenue. I went to the car, I
Speaker 2: grabbed a jewelry. It was a jewelry company, and I
Speaker 2: started walking around and selling it on campus. And before
Speaker 2: you know it, I had money for lunch, I had
Speaker 2: money for guys. I have money for my books alongside
Speaker 2: other resources that were it helped me. Some of those
Speaker 2: resources weren't enough. So yeah, I just wanted to share that.
Speaker 2: Just keep going, find a way. If you believe in God, pray,
Speaker 2: do whatever it is you have to do that's legal,
Speaker 2: that's moral, to make sure that you're able to get
Speaker 2: what it is that you need and it's okay to
Speaker 2: ask for help and know that.
Speaker 3: I like to say this to people, is that, especially
Speaker 3: in today's society where if there's social media, you know,
Speaker 3: you see all this stuff online most of the time,
Speaker 3: that that's everyone's a side. I always say, if you
Speaker 3: remember albums right and vinyl, they're coming back, but that's
Speaker 3: everybody's a side. Yeah, you don't always see everybody's trials
Speaker 3: and tribulations, so don't one comparison is the FIFA joy
Speaker 3: Don't do that. But also you don't know how long
Speaker 3: ago that person may have started, and so you can't
Speaker 3: compare somebody's tenth year to you your tenth month. You
Speaker 3: need to make sure that you're being realistic. I don't
Speaker 3: say I don't mean that by setting the bar low,
Speaker 3: but don't set the bar so high that you can
Speaker 3: never achieve things. You want to have ambitious goals because
Speaker 3: if it doesn't make you a little nervous, get that
Speaker 3: butterfly inside you know, is it big enough for you
Speaker 3: to go after? But you also need to make sure
Speaker 3: that you're setting those realistic goals and expectations, that you're
Speaker 3: not letting yourself down because you think you're going to
Speaker 3: do something in ten months. That typically is going to
Speaker 3: take ten years, right, But what would you say to
Speaker 3: those folks that as their journey? You know, you said,
Speaker 3: remember your why? But what if people don't know what
Speaker 3: their why is, but they know they want to do something,
Speaker 3: but they don't know why. Is that something that they
Speaker 3: need to start thinking about?
Speaker 2: I would say yes. I feel like everyone is placed
Speaker 2: on this earth because they have purpose. You have to
Speaker 2: what your purpose is. One way that I share with
Speaker 2: my coaching clients of finding your purpose is figuring out
Speaker 2: what people say they appreciate about you. What do people
Speaker 2: say you're most good at? What it's something that you
Speaker 2: feel makes you happy and makes you feel joyful in
Speaker 2: the inside. Write those things down and maybe if people
Speaker 2: keep saying it over and over again, maybe it's your
Speaker 2: purpose to serve. Maybe it's your purpose to create that
Speaker 2: thing that they're saying you're so wonderful at. What is
Speaker 2: your purpose? And I want to share also legacy. We
Speaker 2: all have a legacy that we should be wanting to
Speaker 2: leave behind. But what is legacy? Legacy is not something
Speaker 2: that well for me, I want to say for me personally,
Speaker 2: legacy is it's very very deep and it's something that
Speaker 2: you are are leaving behind, and it's something that you
Speaker 2: contributed to the world. What have you done for the world?
Speaker 2: What have you done for the people?
Speaker 3: And I love that because that is one thing I
Speaker 3: tell Yeah, I tell people when you're looking at what
Speaker 3: brings you joy, what brings you fulfillment. When's the last
Speaker 3: time you felt that. I always remember something my father
Speaker 3: had said to me right before he passed. You didn't
Speaker 3: know he was going to pass, but he said it
Speaker 3: to me right before he passed. He asked me, do
Speaker 3: you love what you do? And my response was I'm
Speaker 3: good at it? And he said, that's not what I
Speaker 3: asked you. I asked you, do you love what you do?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 3: And I said, well, no, I mean I don't hate it,
Speaker 3: but no, I guess I don't love it. I'm good
Speaker 3: at it. And he says, you need to find something
Speaker 3: that you absolutely love because then it won't feel Don't
Speaker 3: get me wrong, it's going to feel like work some
Speaker 3: days because I absolutely love what I do. And there
Speaker 3: are times and he was an arborist, he worked outside.
Speaker 3: He goes there are times when it's fifteen below zero. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I want to go outside, but I love what I do.
Speaker 3: And so I know these those things are temporary. I
Speaker 3: know those hard things are temporary, and I know if
Speaker 3: I keep keep it up, I'll be able to get
Speaker 3: through that. So that is one thing I always try
Speaker 3: to remember, what do I love, What brings that joy,
Speaker 3: that fulfillment, and you know, find your passion on purpose.
Speaker 3: It's more than just what you love to do. It's,
Speaker 3: as you said, legacy. And we're going to talk a
Speaker 3: little bit more about legacy during the next segment. So
Speaker 3: let's take a quick break and when we come back,
Speaker 3: we're going to talk about leadership and purpose and legacy.
Speaker 3: But before we go, te tell folks how they can
Speaker 3: connect with you.

Speaker 3: tips and learn about upcoming events. That's get Rooted radio
Speaker 3: dot com. Welcome back to my guest, Tyer Lee, also
Speaker 3: known as Coach t. During the last few segments, we
Speaker 3: got to know a little bit about you and your journey,
Speaker 3: and during this segment we're going to discuss leadership, legacy,
Speaker 3: and purpose. So now you mentioned legacy during the last
Speaker 3: segment when you kind of told us a little bit
Speaker 3: what legacy means to you. So if you miss that,
Speaker 3: tell tell folks what does legacy mean to you?
Speaker 2: So to me, legacy, it means the impact that you make,
Speaker 2: not necessarily the tangible things you can behind, but the
Speaker 2: true impact that you create while you were here on
Speaker 2: this earth.
Speaker 3: Yes, so like legacy kind of what continues because you
Speaker 3: were here, Right, It's not only what people remember about
Speaker 3: you after you were gone. It's like your values you live,
Speaker 3: the lives you've touched, the courage maybe you've awakened, and
Speaker 3: the change you created while you were While you were
Speaker 3: here on this earth. I always I told people once
Speaker 3: that legacy can be a lesson someone carried forward, a
Speaker 3: cause that keeps helping people, a family changed by your
Speaker 3: love or generosity, a voice that makes others feel seen.
Speaker 3: What I feel like my legacy is really not simply
Speaker 3: just preserving Connor's memory, which is I will do until
Speaker 3: the day I die. It's allowing his life and love
Speaker 3: to keep moving through rooted in service, right through those
Speaker 3: honest conversations about mental health, through every person who chooses
Speaker 3: to seek how checking in in on somebody and becoming
Speaker 3: louder than the silence, And then also through my International
Speaker 3: Women Speakers Summit, making sure that women are no longer
Speaker 3: waiting for permission to be seen, heard, and value to
Speaker 3: make a difference. And I always like to say legacy
Speaker 3: is love that outlives a moment, and purpose that continues
Speaker 3: beyond just one person. Wow.
Speaker 2: Yes, I love that. And I believe that legacy also
Speaker 2: ties to leadership because leadership is about helping people reach
Speaker 2: a specific goal or specific dream.
Speaker 3: Yes. And it's like you read my mind, because I
Speaker 3: was going to say, how does leadership tie into legacy
Speaker 3: and purpose? Because there are times where people are like, well,
Speaker 3: I don't know what my purpose is and I don't
Speaker 3: know what legacy I want, but you know that leadership
Speaker 3: portion of it. What advice would you give someone who
Speaker 3: wants to make a difference but doesn't know where to start.
Speaker 2: I mentioned this before. One of the best ways to
Speaker 2: start is to figure out what people say you're good at.
Speaker 2: What do they say you're good at? But not only that,
Speaker 2: you also tied in to what you feel you're good
Speaker 2: at and what really brings you the most joy?
Speaker 3: Yes, I and and again it's there's work involved, right,
Speaker 3: We're not just talking about what brings me the most
Speaker 3: joy is you know, doing yoga and going for hikes
Speaker 3: and being next to the water in the sun. Right,
Speaker 3: If I could do that all day, every day, awesome.
Speaker 3: I'd probably get a little bored after a while. But
Speaker 3: you also have to take a take into consideration. How
Speaker 3: does I would it's hiking And I'm gonna get this
Speaker 3: wrong because I always do. But it's leave it better
Speaker 3: than you found it. Or you know, when you borrow
Speaker 3: somebody's car, right, you better fill it up with gas.
Speaker 3: I don't care if it only had a quarter of
Speaker 3: a tank. You use somebody's car, fill it up with
Speaker 3: guests because you just you let them use your car.
Speaker 3: But it's when you're going into nature, it's you want
Speaker 3: to leave it as you found it. And I feel
Speaker 3: like that from a legacy perspective, in today's world, we
Speaker 3: should just because we won't be here, our next generation
Speaker 3: is going to be here, and are we going to
Speaker 3: leave them with something that's better than what we had?
Speaker 3: And I think that's that's all we want, you know,
Speaker 3: as a parent, as a leader, I want people to
Speaker 3: have something better than I did. I want them to
Speaker 3: not have to look for the resources that maybe I
Speaker 3: had to look for. You know, let's make sure that
Speaker 3: we can teach them how to fish, but also give
Speaker 3: them what they need to be properly successful. So with
Speaker 3: in your life right, personal and professional, how do you
Speaker 3: balance leadership, business, serving community and family.
Speaker 2: I will say this, no one and nobody's life is
Speaker 2: always going to be perfect every second, every hour, every
Speaker 2: moment of the day. But as you mentioned, you're saying,
Speaker 2: how do I find the balance? The important thing is
Speaker 2: finding the balance. I will say that I did struggle
Speaker 2: a whole lot with doing this and the way that
Speaker 2: I was able to find structure and balances by creating
Speaker 2: a set planner, writing everything down, not only writing down
Speaker 2: my schedule and what I'm doing for each day of
Speaker 2: the week, but also writing down my goal setting down
Speaker 2: how I'm going to achieve those goals with an action
Speaker 2: plan next to that, and not only the actual plan
Speaker 2: next to that, but writing down what I feel may
Speaker 2: stop me or block me from reaching those goals and
Speaker 2: from accomplishing those dreams that I've written down. So again,
Speaker 2: for me, finding my balance is a planner with exact
Speaker 2: dates and times of what I'm doing each day. But
Speaker 2: I know sometimes it works for people physically on a
Speaker 2: physical planner a digital planner. But you also have to
Speaker 2: find what works for you. Maybe you create a planner
Speaker 2: and it just doesn't work for you because it's just
Speaker 2: hard for you to focus in the day. Maybe you
Speaker 2: can find an accountability partner or an administrator or a
Speaker 2: VA to help you stay structured to stay focused if
Speaker 2: you have that within your capacity, or if it does
Speaker 2: not work for you, there's other things that you could
Speaker 2: do well.
Speaker 3: And I think think even though I know some people
Speaker 3: hate AI and some people love AI, you know, do
Speaker 3: I love what it's doing to the environment. No, However,
Speaker 3: there are some great things for busy people like us
Speaker 3: that there are times I'm learning how to use it
Speaker 3: to say, look at my emails, look at my calendar,
Speaker 3: what has to get done today? And it's been very helpful.
Speaker 3: It's almost like my own little virtual assistant, and when
Speaker 3: you learn how to use it, it can be very handy.
Speaker 3: But I'm also I mean, if it's not on my calendar,
Speaker 3: it doesn't exist sometimes. But I'm also very much an
Speaker 3: old school paper person. I love crossing things out physically.
Speaker 3: For me, just doing a check mark on a digital
Speaker 3: thing doesn't have that same effect. So there are times
Speaker 3: where these are the things I want to get done right,
Speaker 3: the want to list and the knee to list, and
Speaker 3: I make sure, like what is my knee to start
Speaker 3: with the need to And if you're having problems getting
Speaker 3: into those need too, then take some of those low
Speaker 3: hanging fruit so that you can make yourself feel a
Speaker 3: little I've got something down. Like, I'll admit, there are
Speaker 3: things that you do every day. You know, you're making
Speaker 3: your bed, you're doing the dishes, you're feeding the dogs,
Speaker 3: whatever that might be. There are times where I feel
Speaker 3: like if I'm stuck on a project and I'm not
Speaker 3: getting I will write down everything that I did do
Speaker 3: today because it helps me, Like, I know my productivity
Speaker 3: doesn't equal my value.
Speaker 2: I love that you said that. Finding a personal priorities, yes,
Speaker 2: but I have.
Speaker 3: But there are times where you're like, I know my
Speaker 3: my productivity isn't doesn't equal my worth. But there are
Speaker 3: times where I'm like, what have I even done today?
Speaker 3: I've been stuck on this project for how long? But
Speaker 3: then I go back and I'm like, oh, but I
Speaker 3: still did do a lot, okay, And it just makes
Speaker 3: it gives me a little bit more motivation to keep going.
Speaker 3: And I think that's where we need to make sure
Speaker 3: what works for us. I love love that, Yeah, And
Speaker 3: I want to make sure people know your worth is
Speaker 3: not defined by your productivity.
Speaker 2: And that's where it really is not to come in.
Speaker 2: And that's where boundaries boundaries come in when it cost
Speaker 2: defining the balance as well, like shutting that phone off
Speaker 2: at a certain time, setting alarms like hey, I'm only
Speaker 2: going to talk for thirty minutes, I'm going to talk
Speaker 2: for an hour. So I love that you've said that
Speaker 2: because it made me remember those boundaries.
Speaker 3: Yes, and in boundary manage it. And I also like
Speaker 3: to think of it as what works for you may
Speaker 3: not work for somebody else. But it's it's that willingness
Speaker 3: to try different things. Just because one thing doesn't work
Speaker 3: doesn't mean another thing won't. And you have to look
Speaker 3: at alignment. So it's not just about balance. Like I
Speaker 3: love the term balance. I mean my business is balanced symmetry,
Speaker 3: So of course I love the word balance, but it's
Speaker 3: it's what is it alignment? Because not everything will always
Speaker 3: be in balance. It's not just a teeter totter, right,
Speaker 3: It's not. You usually got eight to ten spooks going
Speaker 3: on at the same time. But it's are you aligned
Speaker 3: with your values, your beliefs and what you're doing and
Speaker 3: how does that leadership, that legacy, that purpose all tie in.
Speaker 3: Are you doing something that does not bring value to
Speaker 3: your life professionally personally? And we need to take a
Speaker 3: look at that, and I think sometimes we forget about that.
Speaker 2: I agree, I love that.
Speaker 3: Well, let's take a quick break because I want to
Speaker 3: spend a little extra time on our last segment on
Speaker 3: looking ahead at what is next and talk a little
Speaker 3: bit more about the Global Ambassador Queen program. So before
Speaker 3: we go, tell folks how they can reach you and

Speaker 3: Welcome back to my guest, Tyer Lee, also known as
Speaker 3: Coach t. Thank you so much for being on the
Speaker 3: show today.
Speaker 2: You're welcome. Thank you so much for having me. I
Speaker 2: appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Yes, So, during the last segments we got to know
Speaker 3: more about you your journey. We talked about leadership, legacy
Speaker 3: and purpose, and during this last segment, we're going to
Speaker 3: discuss looking ahead and at what is next. And one
Speaker 3: of the things I really want folks to hear about
Speaker 3: is something that I have the privilege of being a
Speaker 3: part of. It's not just legacy approach, it is the
Speaker 3: Global Ambassador Queen Program. So can you really tell folks
Speaker 3: a little bit more about what is the Global Ambassador
Speaker 3: Queen Program? Because I'll be honest, I've never want and
Speaker 3: this is no offense to anybody who's in pageants or
Speaker 3: anything like that. I am not knocking those at all.
Speaker 3: I think people who do those are incredible. It is exhilarating,
Speaker 3: It is terrifying, but it's awesome. But I never had
Speaker 3: the desire to be a part of something like that.
Speaker 3: It wasn't until I learned more about the Global Ambassador
Speaker 3: Queen Program and how it opens doors to different audiences.
Speaker 3: And I will do anything to get the message out
Speaker 3: about mental health and suicide prevention for active military in
Speaker 3: our veteran community, and that was something that Global Ambassador
Speaker 3: Queen Program allowed me to do and continues to allow
Speaker 3: me to do and help so much. So can you
Speaker 3: tell our listeners really what is it and how can
Speaker 3: people get involved and support your mission.
Speaker 2: Yes, so, the Global Ambassador Queen Program is an amazing
Speaker 2: opportunity for women to cultivate their leadership skills and to
Speaker 2: share their leadership skills with others. We have state, local, city,
Speaker 2: and national regional titles, and we have the Global Ambassard
Speaker 2: Queen title for women from all across the globe, So
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter where you're from, any country, region, city, state, county.
Speaker 2: We are here to connect together, to grow, to shine,
Speaker 2: to elevate you as an individual, and to elevate your
Speaker 2: community and other communities around the globe. So the main
Speaker 2: project is the Mental Health project, So anyone could come
Speaker 2: in with any platform and tie their platform to mental health.
Speaker 2: For example, if you came in with the platform of
Speaker 2: let's say homelessness, you would tie that to mental health
Speaker 2: and we are here to support you. We are here
Speaker 2: to give you resources, connections. One of the best benefits
Speaker 2: that I love about the Global Basterding Program is that
Speaker 2: we help you start your nonprofit or your LLC. We
Speaker 2: give you grant research, grant information, we give you resources.
Speaker 2: So we're a little bit different from pageants where we
Speaker 2: actually pour and sew into you guys as Ambassador Queens,
Speaker 2: not saying that they don't, but we give so much.
Speaker 2: We help you guys make the different connections that you
Speaker 2: need to grow your platform or grow as an individual woman.
Speaker 2: So it's an exciting thing. And we start at age
Speaker 2: fifteen with parents consent and we go all the way
Speaker 2: up to ninety nine.
Speaker 3: I love it and it truly is something that's it
Speaker 3: gets outside of your comfort zone, right if you're not
Speaker 3: used to that. And one of the reasons I did
Speaker 3: it is because I tell my own clients that visibility
Speaker 3: is their responsibility. Well this has opened additional doors and
Speaker 3: I'm trying to literally walk the walk, right. We had talent,
Speaker 3: we had evening gowned, we did. And what I love
Speaker 3: is that, you know, global Ambassador Queens help me get
Speaker 3: my nonprofits. You heard this at the beginning of the
Speaker 3: episode that I said, I just officially from the IRS
Speaker 3: received my five oh one C three status in the
Speaker 3: mail today, So it's it's it's awesome And that was
Speaker 3: because of the help from the program. And now the
Speaker 3: next thing is now that I got that, I'm diving
Speaker 3: into the grants and getting that information started. So ladies,
Speaker 3: it's not just a pageant, right, and I will say
Speaker 3: it's not a pageant, but it's also don't get me wrong,
Speaker 3: it is fun to dress up beautiful and you know,
Speaker 3: the other queens are so wonderful the support and love
Speaker 3: that we share amongst one another and helping one another, right,
Speaker 3: sharing each other's mission and showing up and supporting. So
Speaker 3: you want to make sure that you're opening all avenues
Speaker 3: because when you do that, you reach more people. And
Speaker 3: that's what I found is that it all started because
Speaker 3: I met somebody at an event that I would have
Speaker 3: never normally gone to that introduced me to this person
Speaker 3: that introduced me to you. Right, So we had this
Speaker 3: ripple effect and now I've even more people than I
Speaker 3: would have before. And that's what we have to make
Speaker 3: sure that we're taking to consideration. The world is big, yes,
Speaker 3: and not everybody may have the same interests, may have
Speaker 3: the same but they know somebody and so that's where
Speaker 3: we need to make sure that we can get involved
Speaker 3: and we can support. And one way to support is
Speaker 3: to spread the word. So how can listeners learn more
Speaker 3: and get involved or you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so take their next step forward? Yes, for sure,
Speaker 2: I will tell you this. If you are a woman
Speaker 2: who is looking to just grow personally. Even if you
Speaker 2: don't have a business or a nonprofit company, you are
Speaker 2: able to join this and grow as an individual person.
Speaker 2: And there are not major requirements. Literally, like one of
Speaker 2: the major requirements that may be major to us but
Speaker 2: may not be major to you, it's you only need
Speaker 2: to attend one even month, but of course we want
Speaker 2: you to do more. We encourage you to do more.
Speaker 2: But that requirement is one event per month, whether you
Speaker 2: do it online in person, you create the event, just
Speaker 2: one event with your crown and sash or crown and
Speaker 2: sash or or. And how you can sign up is
Speaker 2: you can use Erica's co which is Erica twenty seven
Speaker 2: and that will let us know that she you were
Speaker 2: referred by her show. And right now there's a promotion
Speaker 2: that's going on and it ends towards the end of
Speaker 2: this month. So this program is at a small cost,
Speaker 2: and so we really encourage you to get in while
Speaker 2: you while it's good, while you can and you have
Speaker 2: a whole year to work on you as an individual,
Speaker 2: work on your platform. And if you're on the fence
Speaker 2: about joining pageants, this will help build your portfolio for
Speaker 2: the next pageant. So I encourage you if you're looking
Speaker 2: to build your personality, looking to get better at interview,
Speaker 2: better at leadership, or just enhance those skills, this is
Speaker 2: a great place to do that.
Speaker 3: Absolutely is, because you learn so much, right, It's about leadership,
Speaker 3: It's about communication, It's about how do I get out
Speaker 3: in front of people and ask for what I need
Speaker 3: and ask for what to promote my mission? Right, And
Speaker 3: it's and that's so so important because you learn a
Speaker 3: lot from the other people in the organization and you
Speaker 3: don't have to start from nothing, right, They help you.
Speaker 2: And I love that about that. Yes, And so if
Speaker 2: you guys are on the fence you just want more information,
Speaker 2: you can go to www dot Global Ambassador queenswinn S
Speaker 2: dot com where you can reach out to us on
