"If our cities and our communities aren’t better because we’re in it, then we shouldn’t be in that community." - Lauren Clayborne

When looking back on your journey, what word would you use to describe the journey? Today’s guest has two words for us – Surprise and Delight. Trusting the process may sound cliche, but if you stop you eliminate the opportunity for progress.

Lauren Clayborne, Golden State Warriors Director of Community Relations, joins host Tommi A. Vincent to discuss:
  • Why Lauren decided to work in sports.
  • The importance of using the sports platform to do good and create missioned aligned community partnerships.
  • The memory of impact that stands out and makes Lauren’s heart smile.
  • The experiences that stretch and challenge us mentally, and the word of encouragement to push us through the wall opposing progress.
  • When the focus should shift from the closed door to the opportunity to grow and further develop yourself.
  • Getting access to the door you want does mean exempt you from challenges.
  • Lauren crafts her perfect job description.
