Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong

Niiamah Ashongniiamahashong.com
Outlier's Edge Podcast is a live coaching podcast where we come together in conversation to work through the challenges and apply the gifts of being a unique tribe of high-performing, high-impact entrepreneurs, changemakers, and leaders who choose to play a bigger game of impact, influence, and income than we've ever play before. What's an Outlier? An Outlier is a high-performing, high-impact leader who often is: One of the Only: Thrive in systems/environments that were not designed to have someone like them succeed, One of the First: Thrive doing things no one else has ever done or dares to even try One of a Kind: Thrive on their unconventional and independent terms regardless of what others around them are doing THIS IS A PODCAST FOR PEOPLE WHO: - aren't afraid of "playing small", but are scared of "thinking medium". - Are exploring new frontiers in society or their field - Are at the top of their field or business against typical odds and expectations from others like them, - Are taking an independent and unconventional approach outside of the status-quo - know that their mindsets, limiting beliefs, and other internal struggles are actually shared with other leaders who stand for a new vision of the future and change the world for those they lead HOW EACH PODCAST CONVERSATION IS GOING DOWN *Part 1- Your Journey* Features the unique stories of a different trailblazing leader as we explore the *inner* journey they went on as they were creating the outer results we all got to see. *Part 2 - Your Edge* Since this group of people are already out on the edge, traditional information doesn’t always serve them. They need new insights and perspectives, and the best way I know how to do that is through coaching. Each guest will have the option to play on their edge and get coaching around a challenge or a possibility they are working towards. I'm playing on my edge here as well. I have typically reserved coaching for my high-performing, high-impact clients as closed door sessions. It keeps my clients safe, and it keeps me safe. *But safe doesn't change the world.* Join us as we choose to be both safe AND brave by showcasing the impact coaching has to help us achieve belonging, possibility, and inclusion. Time to play at a higher level! *** Bonus since you made it this far *** Here's a special gift to support you for 14 days in navigating what lies beyond YOUR edge as a high-impact, high-performing leader https://outliersedge.com/oeguestpass
