Mellody Hobson is President & Co-CEO of Ariel Investments, Chairperson of the Board of the Starbucks Corporation, and may soon become the co-owner of the Denver Broncos. She hit many people’s radars with her Ted Talk, Color Blind or Color Brave.
During my tenure at USAA Wealth Management, I had the pleasure of hearing from and meeting Ms. Hobson speaking on leadership. She has appeared multiple times on podcasts, so you can easily find her. I recently heard her talking on Adam Grant’s podcast with some sage advice. First, she shared wisdom that she was given by a mentor many years ago regarding receiving feedback.
