As Told By Nomads

Today's episode is with Dr. Tiffany Jana. Dr. Jana is the founder and CEO of TMI Portfolio, a network of socially responsible, interconnected companies that cultivate organizational inclusion worldwide. TMI was the world’s first diversity and equity focused Certified Benefit (B) Corporation. Dr. Jana’s military upbringing, and subsequent predilection towards travel, exposed them to dozens of countries and cultures that made them question whether all of the focus of difference and discrimination was the best use of human energy.

As a multiple minority (including race, gender identity, and invisible disability), Dr. Jana has always believed that if they could only help people see the vast depth, complexity, and beauty of the human experience, perhaps people would be kinder to each other. Dr. Jana’s speaking style is inspiring, engaging, high-energy, and relatable. She most enjoys helping people see each other more fully and more clearly. “It’s harder to hate when you know what people have been through. Our joys and our sadness may be attributable to different narratives, but the sensory experience of raw human emotion is the same regardless of our color, gender, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic we use to divide ourselves.” Dr. Jana has been featured in numerous publications and media including Fast Company, Huffington Post, Forbes, and Psychology Today. Dr. Jana’s favorite awards and recognition include 2017 Enterprising Women of the Year from Enterprising Women Magazine and 2018’s Top 100 Leadership Speakers from Inc.com.

It’s no secret that I am obsessed with reading and this year I decided to challenge myself to read more than the 57 books I read last year.

The initial goal was 60 then it became 75 and ultimately 100 books as of this episode. The experience was not without its merits. It proved to be informative as well as transformative. My focus as I read was to hone my voice on cross cultural issues and simultaneously work on my personal development.

The results were rewarding. I was able to land a book deal with Wiley, speak at the prestigious Chatauqua Institution to the largest audience I have ever spoken to and host a successful masterclass. My hope is that these books boost your self esteem as well as cultural awareness. Enjoy the episode!
