"In 2010, Mrs. Lillian Lincoln Lambert was the guest speaker at the Joseph Business School, Kansas City, “Economic Empowerment Summit.”  I had the honor and privilege of serving as her host and gleaned so much.  She is a woman of wisdom, integrity, commitment and excellence. I read Mrs. Lambert’s book, The Road to Someplace Better. She was the first black woman to receive a Harvard MBA degree.  With a $4,000 investment, she grew her business to a $20 million enterprise. After reading this awesome book, I realized that God placed an anointing for prosperity on her life. I wanted to be the recipient of guidance from this phenomenal woman. I asked her for mentoring and she agreed to coach me. During my initial coaching session, she recognized that my fire for entrepreneurship had dampened. After a few subsequent sessions, her coaching skills inspired, encouraged and set me back on task to achieving my goals."

Each person left inspired and convinced that, 'It does not matter if you bloom early or late, as long as you bloom,' as Lillian put it.
