Dr. Daniel McKorley, Executive Chairman of the McDan Group, has called on professionals and business leaders to actively uplift and support others in their respective fields.
In a recent statement shared on linkin on social media, Dr. McKorley emphasized the importance of surrounding oneself with people who advocate for their success even in their absence.
Quoting a popular sentiment, he noted, “Choose people who will mention and recommend your name in rooms where you’ve not even stepped foot in before.”
He elaborated on this, explaining that such advocacy stems from cultivating meaningful relationships and proving one’s value over time.
However, Dr. McKorley stressed that reciprocity is key. He urged individuals to not only seek people who will speak on their behalf but to also be the ones opening doors for others.
“The unwritten part of this is that you also must be doing that for others—saying their names loudly in rooms where there is opportunity,” he said.
The business mogul further encouraged professionals to be intentional about using their influence to uplift deserving individuals who might not have access to critical opportunities.
“If you are in a position to be in that room where opportunities are spoken of… think about whose name you will speak about,” he advised.
Dr. McKorley concluded with a heartfelt message, expressing hope that people will adopt a spirit of generosity and support throughout the year.
“I hope you have the type of friends who mention your name in a room full of opportunity. I hope you are that type of friend, too,” he said.
His message has since resonated widely among business leaders, professionals, and young entrepreneurs, sparking conversations about the power of networking, mentorship, and collective growth.
