At M.L. Best Consulting, we believe that the most meaningful work is done when it is led with intention, compassion, and heart. That belief was brought to life through a recent milestone achieved by our founder — a moment that reflects not individual accomplishment, but collective impact.
Our founder was honored as Woman of Impact for the Greater Charlotte area, following a powerful fundraising effort that raised over $40,000 in support of the American Heart Association. This recognition represents far more than a title — it is a testament to what can be achieved when leadership is rooted in service and community.
A Collective Effort With Lasting Impact
This achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering dedication of our internal team, who poured their hearts into every step of the process. It was also made possible by the generosity of friends, family members, colleagues, mentors, and fellow leaders who contributed and rallied behind the mission.
Together, this collective effort will continue to advance the life-saving work of the American Heart Association, supporting initiatives that improve heart health, raise awareness, and create better outcomes for communities nationwide.
Gratitude for Partnership and Leadership
We extend our sincere thanks to the American Heart Association Greater Charlotte team and regional leadership for their continued support, partnership, and commitment to empowering leaders who champion cardiovascular health and equity.
Their work — particularly through initiatives like Go Red for Women — continues to inspire action, education, and advocacy at both local and national levels.
Doing the Work With Heart
“Whatever you do… do it with all your heart” is more than a sentiment — it is a leadership principle that guides how we show up, serve others, and create impact.
At M.L. Best Consulting, we are proud to stand behind our founder and alongside organizations that lead with purpose, compassion, and courage. This moment serves as a reminder that when leadership is driven by heart, the impact extends far beyond any single individual.
