Welcome to the Capacity Conversations Podcast. This is what I like to call a “sister-friend” community, which is the safe space to talk openly and honestly about the challenges we face while managing the competing priorities between our personal and professional lives. Many of us are either in corporate, an entrepreneur of a combination of the two, on top of being moms, wives, caregivers, big sister’s or just the go-to person in our circles of friends and families. Having all that responsibility can leave you overwhelmed and depleted if you don’t take inventory of where you’re at on a regular basis.

In this episode, I sit down with Nakisha Hicks. She is the visionary founder of ElevateHer, LLC, , which is dedicated to empowering organizations and leaders, especially mid to senior-level Black women in HR. With nearly two decades of strategic HR experience, Nakisha provides consulting services for nonprofits and organizations serving vulnerable populations, executive coaching, and professional development programs. 

She is a dynamic speaker on topics such as imposter syndrome, emotional intelligence, and overcoming self-doubt, offering valuable strategies to enhance confidence and leadership. Nakisha’s impactful approach has increased retention, improved compliance, and fostered inclusive workplaces. She’s been featured in multiple publications such as SHRM, Lattice, and EBONY magazine, and has been a speaker at events including our very own Inaugural Capacity Conference, Transform and NAAAHRs national conference. Nakisha’s influence is widely recognized as transformative within the HR landscape.

We talk about what it looks and feels like to have a personal board of directors, and why it’s essential for your capacity. Kisha mentioned that your board is made up of people you pay, those who are your mentors, and of course your family friends. Here’s how she broke it down:

In this episode, I’m sharing what I know to be true about saying what we want and having the courage to do it… knowing better is NOT enough! You can know all day long, but if you keep knowing, and never do, you’ll keep going in circles.

So how do you actually go from knowing better to doing better, you ask? I have 3 key ways to help you walk the talk:

3 Keys to go from Knowing to Doing Better

1. Prioritize Your Priorities - this means making time to list out all the things you think you need to do, and then prioritize them. You have to remember that everything that's important isn't always essential... figure out what that is for you.

In this episode, I’m talking about pivoting. At some point in our lives, we hit a crossroad where we have to decide to stay the course, or do to something different, and that isn’t always (or ever for most of us), an easy or light-hearted decision. That’s why I get all in my business, and share with you what pivoting has done for me, both personally and professionally. From leaving the corporate space and releasing relationships, to changing the name of this very podcast. This episode is for you.

As always, I also share a few tips for you to take away with you, including the reasons people choose not to pivot, and a few benefits of making the hard decision to do so.

4 Reasons Why Folks Don’t Pivot

1. Embarrassment or Shame 

4 Benefits of Pivoting

1. Better Alignment w/Goals + Values

This week on the podcast, I’m talking about something near and dear to my heart. Before my dad passed away, he was in the process of writing a book about how he overcame struggles and the odds being stacked against him as a young man growing up in Chicago. He called it, Breaking The Cycle. 

I have the honor this week to take what he started and add my spin on, it as we celebrate Women’s History Month. In this episode, I’m talking about Breaking The Cycle - specifically around the things we’ve had to individually and collectively unlearn and undo, and give you three specific ways for you to continue making history

How to Break a Cycle
