Michael McFall doesn’t have a yacht, a podcast or an MBA, and you won’t hear him talking about being disruptive, leveraging assets or changing paradigms. He is, however, the founder of Global Orange Development, the co-CEO of BIGGBY COFFEE®, a fast-growing $100-million-dollar coffee franchise with 250+ locations across the Midwest and quickly expanding into the East Coast in 2020, and is author to the Inc. Original, Grind.

Mike’s story in the business world began during the Spring of 1997 when he and BIGGGBY founder Robert Fish went on their ‘infamous’ walk to discuss Mike’s role within the company which at the time had one location in East Lansing, Michigan. Two hours later, they were no longer talking about Mike managing a second store, but were agreeing on terms for creating a franchise and growing the brand. A handshake sealed the deal, and suddenly, they were partners of what is now the third-largest coffee franchise in the United States.

Having originally started with BIGGBY in 1996 as a minimum wage barista, Mike has since held every subsequent position within the company, including his current title as co-CEO (May 2016). Mike believes his time in each of his previous roles has allowed him to form a bond with his employees based on understanding, credibility, and respect. Two decades later, Mike shares his personal experiences having led Biggby through survival mode, stability, and aggressive growth.

One of many turning moments for Mike as a leader was the realization that just because BIGGBY was making money, didn’t mean they were doing a great job. From employees leaving without any notice to those who had no passion in what they were doing, Mike and his co-CEO came to the conclusion that something needed to change. After that pivotal moment, Mike was committed to making positive improvements, including creating a workplace culture based on love.

In today’s technology-driven world, innovation moves much faster than the security that protects it. Cybersecurity has now become more of a critical subject than ever. With that being Said, few companies understand what it truly entails and many of the self-proclaimed “IT Security” companies have very little to no understanding of the modern threats facing this industry. BlackShield Sentinel comes into this industry with a very strong advantage.. the company was started by Hackers and those with the same mindset. BlackShield is concerned about not just how to protect the business from bad hackers getting in, but also what happens after those hackers get into your network. BlackShield originally began with an emphasis on small to medium businesses, but their expertise and advanced strategies have also attracted city and government organizations. With some of the highest profit projections in the industry, BlackShield is the innovative and impactful Cyber Warfare company you’ve never heard of.

If Mark Zuckerberg had chosen to hack a network instead of rate college girls in his dorms, his name would be Dioly Alexandre. An immigrant born in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere of Haiti, Dioly immigrated to the United States at the age of five and lived in one of the highest crime rate areas in the United States. From a young age he possessed an entrepreneurial mindset and a determination to overcome the overwhelming statistics around him. He did so by starting his first business at the age of seven selling artwork to tourists in the markets of Charleston, South Carolina. With the cultural difference of a new country, Dioly had a growing interest in computers due to a lack of friends and very little family. As he states, “Computers brought me to exploration, which led me to gaming. Gaming led to graphic design, which led to coding, which ultimately led to hacking simply because I wanted to know more and more about everything”.

After discovering the world of hacking, Dioly practiced many of his new found skills on his own school system, infiltrating library networks and district servers as his skills and tactics became more advance. After gaining some recognition among peers but never directly being caught due to lack of proof he did the acts, his skills landed him a job at the largest electronic retailer in the world at 16 years old. By the age of seventeen Dioly was working for the largest restaurant chain in the world, and after several years as a Naval Sea Cadet through high school, Dioly graduated to work for the largest department of criminal justice in the country at 18 years old.

After doing many short term contracts for Fortune 500, Fortune 100, government, and small to medium businesses alike, Dioly decided it was time to launch the company which would utilize the skills he had learned over the years to protect small to medium businesses in Arizona, and eventually across the country. Now at the age of 20 years old, Dioly heads BlackShield Sentinel Corporation, a fast growing cyber security company located in northern Scottsdale which specializes in small to medium business cyber security. His whole concept of operation is to go well beyond the antivirus and firewall standard of the industry. His favorite motto’s which moves his company forward are, “Not all Hackers wear Hoodies”, “Technology can’t stop people, it takes people to do that” and “Information is Power”.

Dioly also leads a non profit corporation named BlackShark, which aims to serve underserved and minority youth within our communities across Phoenix by providing the education and resources they need to enter the IT field out of high school. The Motto of BlackShark is “Competition, Innovation, Future”. In his own words Dioly states, “Competition is the only fuel required to push Innovation into the ever moving Future.” Alexandre shows just how much his passion for security and information assurance has brought him this far, and as he and many would agree, there is a long and bright road ahead of him.

He believes in utilizing Social Media Channels to create a balance between traditional marketing and a Fluid Digital Marketing Strategy(DMS). His insights about the process of establishing the right social channels and developing the right social media programs will help you generate leads and understand the return of relationship.

Game-Changing Strategies for Legendary Leadership!

Game-Changing Strategies for Legendary Leadership!

00:00 /

In this edition of Global Leader Radio!™, we discuss how to develop into a legendary leader by staying relevant and legitimate – both personally and professionally. Alvin C. Miles interviewed Carl Jefferson as he shared several game-changing leadership strategies that can help us grow from being “legends in our own mind”, to becoming “legends in our own time.”

Here are seven takeaways from our discussion:

“Business is the business of relationships!”
Think differently about change.
Stay current and relevant through development, reading & education.
“Becoming comfortable can produce a false sense of being legendary.”
Consider using the “A-B-C-D rule” when motivating others.
Leaders should be aware of who they are first.
Customize your strategy to ensure you are serving others individually.

Carl provides great insight to help you think more like a global leader of the future. Add his ideas to your leadership toolkit to help increase YOUR influence. Leadership IS a conversation!

Carl Jefferson / Senior Vice-President, Organizational Leadership & Talent Management Solutions, Careers in Transition

Carl C. Jefferson is a Lifetime Member of the National Association of African Americans in Human Resources (NAAAHR) and brings over seventeen years of Human Resources and Talent Management accomplishments to his first term as the Association’s Vice Chairman. Under Carl’s leadership, as a two-term National President of NAAAHR, the Association has doubled its national presence and executed over 200 leadership meetings and conferences on Human Resources, Talent Management, Diversity & Inclusion and Performance Management.

Mr. Jefferson is a Human Resources Executive and Talent Management Officer whose career assignments have included Chief People Officer with Al Copeland Investments; VP of Human Resources and Organization Development Consulting with Wachovia Corporation and Sr. Director of Human Resources & Talent Management with Denny’s Restaurants. In each of these roles, he served as a senior business partner to executives and community leaders in customizing enterprise-wide employee engagement and people leadership initiatives.

He earned a BA in Psychology from the University Of Baltimore, and two graduate degrees from The Johns Hopkins University — MS in Organization Development & Human Resources Management and an MBA in General Management. He recently completed his PhD coursework in Organizational Leadership at the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore.

Carl is passionate about HR, Diversity & Inclusion and Talent Management and believes that organizations who invest in strategic human capital planning, mass career customization and inclusion initiatives outperform businesses that operate the HR function as an administrative cost center. For Jefferson, iconic business success is achieved through high levels of employee engagement and quantifiable performance management solutions.

He is based in Atlanta, GA and serves on several non-profit boards to support youth in achieving positive career and education outcomes. He is frequently interviewed and quoted in the national media and is a sought after speaker, lecturer and facilitator on human resources, inclusion, and people leadership themes.
