Everyone has a voice, and knowing how to use it is powerful. There are different things that you want to fight for in your life. For example, people might fight for human, animal, and women's rights.
Some people don’t know how to use their voice. Using your voice properly might seem difficult for people who lack confidence.
In History, people have always fought for what they believed. The ways people fight may have changed but the ability hasn't. Speaking up for yourself is important for your self-esteem. When your self-esteem is high you can accomplish anything. People can express what they believe in at work and that might create changes.
In this episode I break down the different ways people can voice their opinions.
The topic is Speaking Up: The Problem Solver.

MICHAEL “MIKE” HOLMES
Michael Holmes Jr., CEO of Pen Point Designs and Images is a graphic designer at heart. In working with
a network of organizations ranging from advocacy, health care and ministry he has captured a broad clientele over the past five (5) years. His vivid imagination coupled with exceptional creative skills can be seen throughout communities and churches.
Mike works closely with his clients to create unique layout and designs to communicate their message. He has earned the title of the go to guy when it comes to graphics and design layouts. Driven by his passion and creativity, one might say his exceptional skills are the main ingredients for his one of a kind products; business cards, visual images, logos, banners, posters or anything that requires graphics. Michael tends to let his imagination run away, that’s Mike at his best. Showcasing his skills is first and far most in his life, however his interest extends beyond graphic design. He loves lending a helping hand to support others in their quest for success.
Here’s a bittersweet story, after launching his graphic design company, Mike and his two (2) best friends, Che R. Jones, producer of Class Act Entertainment and Keshia Caldwell also known as Peaches the playwriter/poet. Bothwere also entrepreneurs who set out to support each other in building their businesses. The idea was to act asconsultants to each other, calling it consulting between friends. It went so well to the point they decided to become a consulting firm. But before incorporating, Mike, Che and Peaches traveled to Africa for their 1stproduction together. Without time to celebrate their success, tragedy struck. Peaches passed away while in Africa. A loss that was heartfelt and unexpected.
Compelled to stay true to the concept and relationships,Michael founded Consulting Between Friends Podcast.Interesting name for a podcast, yet is fitting. The podcast is hosted by Michael Holmes Jr. and Co host Che R.Jones. The show honors their friendship. As we have been told Mike is masterful when it comes to layout and designs that represents getting his clients messages across. So, it goes without saying having a peach in the logo keeps the three friend together. Yes, Keshia “Peaches”Caldwell is still with Consulting Between Friends, the logo says it all.
This new show is available on Google podcast, Spotify as well as other platforms. The Consulting Between FriendsPodcast will highlight conversations between friends and
associates on issues of life, politics, entrepreneurship, community organizing and current events. All knowledge to feed your brain!
