Episode #187: "I Have SOMETHING To Say" Issues2Impact Episode 2

Last month we explained WHAT WE ARE DOING, in the new podcast “Issues2Impact” that Chris Majocha, Dr. Xaulanda Simmonds-Emmanuel, Valerie Solomon, and yours truly are launching very soon. This is the WHAT:  We will leverage our collective expertise in nonprofit consulting, content creation, leadership development, and business to empower founders, professionals, and leaders (our guests) who are passionate about making a positive impact in their communities but are challenged by a situation they need to figure out to navigate.

In this episode of “I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY” we talk about WHY WE ARE DOING this. We kick off the discussion by acknowledging the frustration many of us have faced when encountering recurring problems without a clear path to resolution. Recognizing the value of collaboration and diverse perspectives, we will create a space where organizational leaders and entrepreneurs can find trusted guidance and honest advice from us.   

Our goal is to provide a supportive network that breaks down barriers to information sharing, empowering individuals to overcome imposter syndrome and self-doubt. By offering (and recording) our step-by-step guidance and provision of tangible solutions, we hope to help our guests address their pain points and achieve their goals.

So, whether you're facing obstacles in your business, navigating organizational challenges, or seeking innovative ways to drive social change, our podcast is here to support you every step of the way. We want to extend an open invitation to anyone who is grappling with a challenge in their work – simply reach out to us, and we'll schedule you as a guest on our show. Let us be your expert sounding board!

Our WHY: We are genuinely committed to fostering collaboration and taking meaningful action. We're not just here to talk – we're here to drive real change by helping leaders address the issues holding them back from making an impact.

Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the importance of perspective and mindset in problem-solving. We agree that adopting a growth mindset and exploring the concept of creating an alter ego to unlock personal and business growth is oftentimes the answer, especially for introverted leaders.

We also dive into the significance of defining goals and values, both personally and professionally, and discuss strategies for alignment and achievement. From managing people to embracing uncomfortable situations and learning from mistakes, we explore the challenges and opportunities that come with growth.

As our discussion unfolds, we reflect on the privilege of our experiences and the importance of giving back to our communities, encouraging everyone to lean into new experiences and embrace a mindset of continuous growth.
