How Leadership Starts In Your Living Room | Sis. Nayyirah Muhammad | TEDxSt Pete Women
For two decades, Sister Nayyirah Muhammad has traveled the world teaching principles of leadership. But what if the strongest foundation for success isn't your career or status, but your family? Sister Muhammd argues that without a strong foundation, everything else you build will collapse.
Drawing on the heartbreak of losing her father in prison and the powerful, honest communication that emerged in those final days, she shares the life-changing lesson she learned: Legacies collapse not from a lack of wealth, but from a lack of words.
This talk reveals why the quality of your relationships is the greatest predictor of long-term success. Discover the three essential strengths of effective family leadership—Clear Purpose, Courageous Communication, and Accountability with Integrity—that turn ordinary households into extraordinary families. Watch to learn how starting one honest conversation at home is the most courageous act of leadership you can take to protect your legacy and change the world.
