"I wear many hats – Author, Consultant, Researcher, Filmmaker, Scholar, Entrepreneur, Storyteller, and a proud Global Citizen. Yet, these titles merely scratch the surface of who I am. Beyond these roles lies a tapestry of experiences, passions, and a profound essence that defies simple labels. I am a kaleidoscope of unique perspectives, a seeker of boundless knowledge, and a catalyst for meaningful change. I continue to explore the depth and richness of my identity beyond the confines of conventional titles." Deatra L. Neal, Ph.D.

ABOUT SLIM
ACTION!
Produce, Direct, and Edit Your Leadership Story
I wrote this book to converge my research focus on identity, my love of film and the arts, and my desire to strengthen and understand my own sense of self.
This book is for you if you ever felt caught in a story others penned for you. If you ever wrestled with imposter syndrome or portraying a persona just to fit in. I wrote this book to let you know that you're not alone!
I created the SLIM framework as a tool to help leaders unravel the gripping tales of self-discovery and authenticity. Don't be bound by a script that doesn't align with your true aspirations. Let's rewrite that story together and unveil the real YOU!
It's time to break free and embrace the empowering journey toward your genuine self!

THE SLIM PROCESS
Fundamental changes that matter come from an active, participatory position – an internal, reflective process. Reflection is the foundation of self-identification and is central to the SLIM process.
Phase I: The Revolution
The revolution phase within SLIM marks a pivotal moment of self-awareness, where the realization dawns that one's identity demands focused attention and nurturing. It signifies a resolute commitment to embark on a transformative journey, dedicated to fortifying and refining one's leadership identity through a deliberate and purposeful process.
Phase II: The Evolution
In the evolution phase of SLIM, the journey embraces the understanding that transformative change is a gradual process. This pivotal stage revisits the art of journaling, unlocking the rich tapestry of personal history and experiences. It delves deep into the intricate web of habits, behaviors, attitudes, values, and ideologies that shape one's present identity schema. It prompts an introspective acknowledgment of these elements, discerning those that require nurturing, adaptation, or release. This phase is life-long as we continue to change daily with each experience.
