The Journey of a Non-Profit President & CEO: Meet Careshia Moore

Careshia Moore is an attorney, educator and most currently, President & CEO for Usher's New Look, a non-profit established by singer Usher Raymond that transforms the lives of under-resourced youth from middle school through college.

As an advocate and educator who has a heart for inspiring others to reach their potential, she mentors leaders, facilitates workshops, designs educational products and connects people with others and opportunities to promote personal success through education.

Originally from Miami, Florida, Careshia earned her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Education and Juris Doctor degree from the University of Florida. You can read her thoughts and experiences regarding education, parenting and success on her blog Compete to Succeed.

A few topics Careshia discusses:

1. Her belief that everyone will be where they're supposed to be in life. She shares her winding journey to leading a non-profit which included working for the organization as a volunteer and on a part-time basis before being hired full-time.

2. How having talents and gifts will open up doors for you to make money

3. Why one must act when ideas come to them (She credits the book Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert for teaching her this lesson.)

4. How to navigate imposter syndrome (She recommends and has her son reading Talent Is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everyone Else by Geoff Colvin.)

5. How to establish a career in the non-profit sector
