Speaking Praise
Don’t let Nailah Blades’ 20-something women focus fool you—as an inspirational speaker, she is an ebullient and effective counselor for women and men of any age. Nailah spoke at Tuesdays with Transitioners, which is a group comprised of adults in mid-life who are moving through career transition. Her advice, wisdom and encouragement was instrumental in jump-starting the members toward hope and a fresh perspective on their journeys. She supplied tools, resources and solid information on how to “Get Clear and Get Courageous.” The members are still talking about her visit, and some have actively implemented Nailah’s guidance and recommendations.
Jennifer Oliver O’Connell || Tuesdays with Transitioners, Founder and Facilitator
Nailah came in as our dynamic guest speaker and took the reigns! Middle school girls are a very peculiar bunch, but this did not phase her at all. Nailah led the group (28 girls and 15 mentors!) in a group coaching session on Personal Strengths. She taught them how to discover their personal strengths and use them to identify their interests and true passions. Her tailor-made workbook inspired the girls to define themselves through the exercises. She empowered them to see that changing your perspective, mind and thoughts can bring you closer to your aspirations. Nailah Blades is a true blessing to not only EmpowHer but especially to the girls. Thank you, Nailah!! You brought the girls one step closer to their destinies, passions and abilities to strive for their best.
Danielle Herring || EmpowHer Institute, Program Manager.
Nailah was a Guest Speaker at Experience Unlimited – GLAPros which is a networking and support group for professionals in job transition. Her presentation was dynamic, energetic and inspirational. Her presentation, listening and people skills would make her an asset to any individual, group or organization.
Steve Bordofsky || Experience Unlimited, Member
Nailah’s presentation was energetic and passionate. She helped us tap into the spiritual aspects of our job search and of the career paths we choose. She challenged us to think of our paths holistically and to recognize if our choices were in alignment with our core values or not. Our careers are not only a means to sustain us financially but we can also find fulfillment in the jobs that we choose.
