Exploring The Leadership of Mel Robbins & Jacqueline V. Twillie

Yesterday, I woke up to an unexpected text message that had me immediately reaching for my coffee and speed-reading through a leadership comparison—between myself and Mel Robbins—written by Annie Koroma.

Talk about a wow moment. Being mentioned alongside someone like Mel Robbins—someone I deeply respect for her authenticity and powerful leadership—left me feeling humbled and reflective. The paper had me thinking about how far I’ve come, the people who’ve supported me along the way, and the importance of continuing to lead with purpose, resilience, and integrity.

As I read through Annie’s analysis, it highlighted key areas where our leadership styles intersect, and others where we bring our unique perspectives to the table. It’s a reminder that leadership isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s about understanding your strengths, owning your voice, and using your influence to make a positive impact.

I’m so grateful for this recognition and for the opportunity to continue to learn, grow, and share what I’ve learned along my journey. It's also a reminder to each of us that leadership is not just about the titles or comparisons—it’s about how we uplift others, create space for growth, and lead with authenticity.

Thank you, Annie, for this incredible comparison and for sparking such a powerful reflection on my leadership journey. Here’s to continuing to lead with purpose and inspiring others to do the same.
