When we build a boardroom table large enough to invite the Black Elephant in the room to comfortably sit and engage, we’ll see our communities and economy change. Global statics show the lack of women as CEOs or board members, the lack of resources for a group of “underrepresented” entrepreneurs and that 8 out of 10 small businesses will fail. Based on Danyel Surrency Jones’ career journey in Corporate America and now as an entrepreneur, Surrency Jones shares why courageous conversations, a shift in perspective and business model blueprints will help create diverse communities and businesses that support ideas and not pedigrees. Danyel Surrency Jones is a proclaimed "Vision Chaser", business strategist and philanthropist, with two decades of executive leadership and sales & marketing experience. She is the Founder and Principal Business Strategist of Danyel Surrency Jones Consulting and the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of POWERHANDZ Inc., a global product tech company that designs innovative solutions for athletic training and rehabilitation. In 5 years, its core athletic training products have been sold to consumers in more than 86 countries, established a digital footprint with millions of youth and professional athletes, skills trainers and NBA, NFL, WBO, MLB professional sports organizations. These milestones have captured the attention of major media outlets like CNBC, Essence, Sports Illustrated and Bloomberg Business and helped her earn several awards as a women innovator in sports and healthcare tech.
Danyel is a servant leader whose greatest joy comes from her family and giving back. She fulfills this purpose as a wife, a mother of 2 and as President and Founder of The Power To Give Foundation (501c3); which builds character in youth through athletic & academic programs in underserved communities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
