Dr. Kermitia Burton shares her journey of transforming limited beliefs into limitless truths, turning supplier diversity into billion-dollar strategies at major corporations while redefining leadership for women. She offers powerful insights on finding your voice, building authentic leadership, and embracing femininity in professional settings, all while challenging stereotypes that hold back women and minorities in business.

• Limited beliefs are things that aren't true that we tell ourselves or others tell us, while limitless truths are boundaries-free alternatives

• Dr. Burton's grandmother told her "little girls should be seen and not heard," creating a limiting belief she carried into adulthood
• There's a significant difference between being silent (by choice) and being silenced (by others)
• The three essential professional relationships: mentors talk with you, coaches talk to you, advocates talk about you
• Small opportunities polish your skills and prepare you for bigger opportunities
• Leadership starts within—how you treat yourself reflects how you lead others
• Just because someone excels at their job doesn't mean they can effectively lead people
• Faith and business can intersect; Dr. Burton leads as a faith-led leader in corporate settings
• For entrepreneurs: provide solutions, know your customers' pain points, and develop clear mission, vision and values
• Black women deserve more opportunities in corporate America, contributing to many starting their own businesses
• Paint Your Lips Red (PYLR) redefines leadership for women as "fierce, fearless and feminine"
• Dr. Burton's upcoming book addresses eight limited beliefs that stop Black women from succeeding
