7 Ways To Write Your Obituary While Alive – Dr. Oliver T. Reid

from Connected Leaders Academy

Connected Leaders Academy Too many powerful stories never get written—because people wait until life slows down, fear quiets, or clarity feels perfect. This virtual webinar is designed to disrupt that delay. 7 Ways to Write It Before the Obituary is a strategic and transformational masterclass led by Dr. Oliver T. Reid, built for speakers, coaches, leaders, and professionals who know their story carries weight—but need a proven system to get it out of their head and onto the page. Using Dr. Reid’s proprietary note-writing framework, this session teaches participants how to extract books, frameworks, and revenue-ready intellectual property from what they already have: notes, talks, experiences, and lived wisdom. This is not a writing class. It’s a message ownership class. Participants will learn how to: • Capture their story without overwhelm or perfectionism • Organize notes into clear, publishable structures • Write with legacy and income in mind • Avoid the fear and delay that keeps stories locked away • Build a book before life writes the ending for them This webinar is for those ready to stop postponing their voice—and start building literary equity now, while they can still shape the narrative. Your story deserves to be written before someone else summarizes it. Dr. Oliver T. Reid is the founder of I Am A Solution Consulting Firm, LLC, an international speaker, prolific author, publisher, and transformational coach whose work sits at the intersection of introspection, identity, and execution. With more than 60 published books, over 30 bestsellers, and contributions to more than 30 anthologies, Dr. Reid has established himself as a powerful voice in modern thought leadership and personal development. Dr. Reid is the creator of the M.I.L.K. Writing System™ and the developer of the INNERVIEW methodology, both designed to help individuals extract meaning, structure, and momentum from their ideas and stories. Dr. Reid is a 2016 IALA Distinction of Excellence Legendary Honoree, a 2016 to 2017 NAACP Black Men Image Award recipient, and a 2025 Marquis Who’s Who Honoree. He has been featured in Forbes, HuffPost, Black Enterprise, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Roku TV, and other international media outlets.

Solving for Change MOBIA Technology Innovations Solving for Change welcomes business and technology leaders to share stories of bold business transformation within complex organizations. In an era when technology and markets are changing around businesses, the key to staying competitive is to evolve in response to those changes.  MOBIA’s Mike Reeves and Marc LeBlanc investigate business transformation, deconstructing the challenges, ambitions, and market disruptions that drive companies to embark on transformation journeys, and exploring their unique approaches to achieving meaningful outcomes.  What sparks leaders to pursue business transformation? How do they overcome the challenges along the way? What are the keys to creating enduring change?  Through in-depth conversations with business and technology leaders, Mike and Marc answer these questions and explore how businesses evolve by pulling four key transformation levers: people, process, technology, and culture. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in It's All Connected Ali Rodgers A self improvement podcast that teaches you how to guide yourself to your best life. Leading From All Sides Abbie Mirata Discover the various styles of leadership, from leading at the forefront to steering from behind, rising to the top or empowering from the bottom. We'll explore horizontal and vertical leadership, leading through your brand, and even leading in your most intimate relationships. Join me in engaging conversations with special guests who are leaders in their careers, communities, and families. Gain insights, perspectives, and invaluable lessons that challenge traditional notions of what it means to lead.
