  • Living My Life As a Billboard - Kisha Hicks

    Kisha Hicks is the President of The ElevateHer, where their mission is to help women get clear on their career paths while providing mindset and career coaching. This only begins to describe Kisha though. She serves as a "possibility model," motivating and inspiring her clients (and me!) to push past self doubt and go after their dreams! In this episode we talk about the importance of community, the difference between exposure and networking, and overcoming imposter syndrome. One of the best episodes yet!
