  • How to Become an Authentic Leader in Uncertain Times with HR Expert Neil Cosby

    As we move toward businesses slowly opening up again, I thought this would be a good time to reflect on what it takes to be an authentic leader in troubled times.  The past few months have been unprecedented in terms of a global shutdown.  We have never seen a time when the world essentially stopped and most of us were forced to work from home.  On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we are happy to welcome back HR Expert, Neil Cosby.

    Neil Cosby is a seasoned Senior Human Resources professional with HR generalist experience spanning over 20 years. Neil is a true believer in the necessity for solid HR infrastructure in any organization that must be aligned with the overall business goals and objectives.

  • Helping Others to Live a More Authentic Life Journey with Nikita Burks-Hale
    In this episode, Roxanne engages with Nikita Burks-Hale in a deep discussion about self-discovery, resilience, and the concept of perfection. They delve into the unique challenges faced by non-white women, explore the concept of an "invisible cape", and dissect systemic issues and microaggressions. Nikita shares her coaching approach and the importance of not being defined by past pain.

    I recorded this podcast before the protests started. With all of the unrest that’s been in the news surrounding the senseless murder of George Floyd, and the hundreds of years of systemic racism and injustice, we must stand up, speak out and let our voices be heard if we truly want to make a difference. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne we are so privileged to welcome Journeyer, Nikita Burks-Hale who is with us to discuss how to create a more authentic life journey for people of colour.

    Nikita Burks-Hale, also known as the "JourneyCoach" is a “journeyer” in every sense of the world and has dedicated her life and life’s work to guiding and supporting women in their journey to live more imperfect, authentic, and intentional lives.

    Authentic Touch Points:

    Nikita’s path to journeying. 2:15

    Resilience for women of colour. 6:45
    “The Invisible Cape”. 10:30
    Microaggressions, what they are. 12:45
    Resiliency in a less tolerant society. 15:15
    The 5 steps of your imperfect journey. 19:00
    You have choices...take control. 23:00
    When Nikita is not journeying or building the JourneyGurl Magic empire, you can find her on the couch playing 20 questions with her wife Jessica or Mickey Mouses's “hot dog dance” with her 2-year old son Adonis.

    With many of us working from home and spending most of our time with family, I encourage you to reach out with thoughts or questions. You will also find more information about me and how I can help you at RoxanneDerhodge.com. Thanks!
