I Went Live in Times Square with Dr. Keena Mosley—and Here’s What Happened

Have you ever had a full-circle moment that left you speechless?

That was me—standing in the middle of Times Square, lights flashing, people everywhere, and watching my client, Dr. Keena Mosley, light up the digital billboard with her brand-new book Launch to Impact. And the best part? We went LIVE right then and there to talk about it.

I’ve hosted a lot of conversations on the Published and Paid Podcast, but this one? This one felt different. It wasn’t just about a book. It was about legacy. Leadership. And the power of owning your voice—even when you're just starting out.

Let me give you the backstory.

From Vision to Billboard in 20 Weeks

Dr. Keena Mosley is no stranger to leadership. She’s been in the game for over 30 years—working in education, supervising hundreds of staff, and now coaching developing leaders across the country. When she came to me, she had an idea for a book that would become a blueprint for emerging leaders.

Not only did she write it… she published it, positioned it, and got it on a Times Square billboard in just 20 weeks.

So for everyone saying, “I’m too busy,” or “I don’t have time to write a book”—let this be your wake-up call. It’s not about time. It’s about intention.

What We Talked About (That You Need to Hear)

During our live podcast conversation (yes, actually standing in Times Square), Dr. Keena dropped gem after gem. Here are a few moments that stuck with me:

1. Confidence is what most new leaders are missing.

You can know the job. You can be highly skilled. But if you don’t believe in your ability to lead, it will show. Confidence isn’t optional—it’s essential.

2. Leadership is about studying people.

Keena talked about how new leaders must “study their team” and “study their supervisor.” This isn’t manipulation—it’s strategy. Knowing how people operate helps you lead them better.

3. Culture already exists—don’t bulldoze it.

So many leaders step into roles and want to change everything. But culture doesn’t respond well to shock. Blend in first. Learn the lay of the land. Then lead with influence.

4. Mentorship is about legacy.

Not every boss is your mentor—and that’s okay. Choose mentors who match your next level. And don’t forget: part of your growth includes becoming the mentor someone else needs.

“One is Too Small a Number for Greatness”

That was one of my favorite things Keena said. And honestly? It applies to so much more than leadership.

Whether you're writing a book, building a business, managing a team, or creating change—you can’t do it alone. Collaboration, community, and mentorship are key.

Final Thoughts: What Will Your Leadership Legacy Be?

Being live in Times Square wasn’t just exciting—it was symbolic. It represented what’s possible when women show up, speak up, and lead boldly.

Dr. Keena’s story is proof that your influence can scale quickly when your intention is clear and your message is aligned.

If you’re a leader in any capacity—whether in business, ministry, education, or entrepreneurship—do yourself a favor and listen to this episode. It’s not fluff. It’s a strategy session wrapped in storytelling.
