Miami Executive Summit Recap - 3 Powerful Days of Learning, Connection, and Inspiration!

April 4-6, 2025 | Gates Hotel | Miami, FL.


Over the course of three powerful days the NFBLME Executive Weekend Summit brought together visionary leaders, educators, and change makers in the heart of sunny South Beach, FL. C-Level and Alumni Fellows from across the nation came together to exchange bold ideas, immerse in groundbreaking practices and recharge in one of the most iconic settings in the country.


Day 1 - Bold Moves & Breakthroughs at KIPP Miami


Things kicked off with an immersive leadership-in-action trip to KIPP Miami, hosted by our own Courtney Bethel (2020 Alumni) and Luis Nobriega (2023 Fellow). Attendees were able to choose from two tracks—Operational or Instructional, each giving our fellows the unique opportunity to step inside of a thriving educational ecosystem and engage in a real-world, hands-on leadership experience. From classroom walk-throughs to candid conversations with leadership and staff, the day offered a rich look into the cultural practices, systems and leadership that drive student success and makes KIPP a model of excellence. It was more than a school visit—it was an experience that sparked ideas, fueled passion, and set the tone for the rest of the summit. Afterward, everyone gathered at Topgolf to celebrate the day, connect, and wind down in a fun and relaxed setting.




Day 2 - Power Moves, Priorities, and Personal Brand Mastery


The momentum continued with a full day of thought-provoking sessions designed to help each participant sharpen their executive edge. Cametra Edwards kicked things off with her session on Winning on Priorities for the C-Suite, helping attendees reassess and sharpen their executive and personal priorities for year-end success. During lunch, a panel of local executives and entrepreneurs shared powerful stories of growth, resilience, and innovation, sparking inspiring dialogue. The day closed with a high-energy session on Monetizing Your Expertise, where Keith guided participants through actionable steps to refine their personal brands and turn their skills into income. Overall, the Fellas described these sessions as practical, engaging, and empowering. 




Day 3 - Igniting Power, Purpose, and Leadership


Finally, for the grand finale, Keith delivered a series of eye-opening sessions, the first of which delved deeply into the heart of The Fellowship. With his trademark insight and energy, he unpacked its purpose, structure, and the spirit that drives it, showing how it serves as both a support system and a launching pad for personal and collective growth. Leaders also engaged in peer-driven problem-solving sessions, sharpening each other’s critical thinking and overall leadership effectiveness. It wasn’t just informative—it was inspiring! These sessions left the fellows feeling more connected, more focused, and ready to lean into the journey ahead with renewed clarity and conviction.
