ABOUT FROSWA:

Dr. Froswa’ Booker-Drew
Vice President, Community Affairs and Strategic Alliances at State Fair of Texas®

I am intrigued by relationships, particularly building networks to address issues in organizations and communities. Because of my extensive background in leadership, nonprofit management, partnership development, training and education, I’ve been quoted in Forbes, Ozy, Bustle, Huffington Post and other media outlets around the world. As Vice President of Community Affairs for the State Fair of Texas, I lead a department focused on community initiatives, educational programming, partnerships, and philanthropy.

In addition, I have been asked to speak on a variety of topics such as social capital and networking, leadership, diversity, and community development to national and international audiences. This included serving as a workshop presenter at the United Nations in 2013 on the Access to Power. One of the most impactful life events for me was being a part of the documentary, Friendly Captivity, a film that followed a cast of 7 women from Dallas to India.

I consider myself so fortunate to be honored for my work which includes: Semi-finalist for the SMU TEDx in 2012, 2012 Outstanding African American Alumni Award from the University of Texas at Arlington, 2009 Woman of the Year Award by Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. and Diversity Ambassador for the American Red Cross.

Graduating with a Ph.D. from Antioch University in Leadership and Change with a focus on social capital and relational leadership has offered me the opportunity to have a scholar/practitioner lens in all I do. I attended the Jean Baker Miller Institute at Wellesley for training in Relational-Cultural Theory and completed facilitator training on Immunity to Change based on the work of Kegan and Lahey of Harvard. I have also completed training through UNICEF on Equity-Based Evaluations. I am the author of 2 workbooks for women, Ready for a Revolution: 30 Days to Jolt Your Life and Rules of Engagement: Making Connections Last as well as a writer for several publications around the globe.

TAKEAWAYS:

“The secret is to be ready when your opportunity comes.” – Benjamin Disraeli

Three observations as it relates to opportunities:

• Most everyone sees them once they’ve passed by – Hindsight or watching the film of yesterday
• Many don’t have a picture of it – unaware (“Your big opportunity may be where you are now.” – Napolean Hill)
• The wrong picture – This is a paradigms problem, what’s in your head and/or your current POV

HOW CAN I HELP PEOPLE DO THE FOLLOWING?:

• Know there are OPPORTUNITIES out there and all around! This is all about understanding.
  1. You can’t have what you don’t know exists and have access to it
  2. You cannot teach what you do not know
  3. You can’t learn if you cannot be taught
  
  
• Attracting the right kind of opportunity – This is all about your passion and alignment with it. YOUR ‘WHY!’
• There’s always some assembly required! – Your investment into your growth + development
  1. Make your plans (blueprints)
  2. Putting the pieces together
  3. Possess the willingness to re-draw or go back to the drawing board
  4. Your tools – skills, talents, abilities, relationships, intangibles, and your ability to be self-aware, self-manage, Social-awareness, and relationship management (Emotional Intelligence)
  5. A willingness to discard the unnecessary
  
  

Every day prior is the Learning + Training ground for the opportunity to be seen, received, harvested and cultivated.

Here’s another way to look at it:
opportunity > possibility > probability > actuality > factuality > reality (manifestation or physical equivalent)
