S2E6 - Fixin' Your Crown Boo! Podcast: Dr. Douglas Lewis
<p>Did you know that Black men make up less than one percent of all psychologists in the United States? In Episode 6 of Season 2, we sit down with Dr. Douglas Lewis to discuss the realities of representation, the barrier of corporate gatekeeping, and why true leadership requires a willingness to share power.</p><p><strong>Episode Summary:</strong> Dr. Douglas Lewis is a distinguished forensic psychologist who evaluates justice-involved individuals across juvenile, state, and federal courts.

Whether you are dealing with a gatekeeper blocking your next promotion, struggling to feel seen in your industry, or trying to figure out how to be a better mentor to your team, this conversation gives you a clear path forward. Douglas also introduces his philosophy on why power is always better when it is shared.</p><p><strong>In this episode, we cover:</strong></p><p>* Why the lack of representation in highly specialized fields impacts the people being served.</p><p>* How to handle industry gatekeepers who block access to career opportunities.</p><p>* The massive difference between hoarding leadership power and sharing it to build a stronger team.</p><p>* How to transfer analytical skills from one completely different industry into another.</p><p><strong>Resources & Links:</strong></p><p>* Connect with Dr. Douglas Lewis: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-douglas-e-lewis-jr/">LinkedIn: Dr. Douglas Lewis</a></p><p>* Book a Strategy Call with JD: <a target="_blank" href="https://j2elevateconsulting.com/GM-Strategic-Audit-30-min-CoachJD">https://j2elevateconsulting.com/GM-Strategic-Audit-30-min-CoachJD</a></p><p>* Take the Leadership Identity Assessment: <a target="_blank" href="https://j2elevateconsulting.com/Leadership-Identity-Assessment">https://j2elevateconsulting.com/Leadership-Identity-Assessment</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Today, she runs her own successful coaching business by helping women become the "CEO" of their careers: Create Every Opportunity.</p><p>Whether you are surviving another corporate reorganization or feeling stuck in a role that drains your energy, this conversation offers a clear path out.

She also reminds us of the Maya Angelou rule: people will never forget how you made them feel.</p><p>In this episode, we cover: </p><p>- Why collecting corporate titles will never substitute for true self-leadership. - How to use the "Five Fs" (Faith, Family, Fun, Freedom, and Flexibility) as your decision filter. </p><p>- The hidden human cost of constant corporate restructuring. </p><p>- How to apply the "Control what you can control" mantra to stop anxiety and take action.</p><p>Resources & Links: </p><p>- Connect with Kadine Cooper: LinkedIn: Kadine Cooper </p><p>- Book a Strategy Call with JD: https://j2elevateconsulting.com/GM-DiscoveryCall-CoachJD </p><p>- Take the Leadership Identity Assessment: https://j2elevateconsulting.com/Leadership-Identity-Assessment</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
