Leadership & Success with Coach BZ

🎙️ S4:E85 LIVE | Leading with Legacy: Yolanda Renee King’s Call to Remember, Reflect, and Lead Forward 🚀
At just 15 years old, Yolanda Renee King — granddaughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King — stood before the United Nations General Assembly to honor the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
Her message was timeless: leadership isn’t bound by age, but by conviction. She called on the world to remember the past, confront injustice, and lead with courage, inclusivity, and hope. 🌍
Join me, Coach BZ, as we unpack her powerful call to action and explore leadership lessons every Naval officer, technologist, and servant leader can apply — from remembrance and resilience to reflection and responsibility.
