What would it mean if you could thrive deeply while staying true to who you are? That’s just one of the questions Tanis Frame helps us to answer this week on the show. She also helps us reconsider what it means to have an impact, and shares how we can do this by inviting more play, wonder, and curiosity into our lives.  Tanis Frame is a sought-after speaker, leadership coach, and creative play facilitator. She believes thriving starts with deeply aligned and integrated personal leadership - without which we can’t effectively (or sustainably) lead anyone. Tanis also believes that leaning into joy is our sacred responsibility, and that play is the way home. When we decide to thrive, we play by a different set of rules. We explore these rules and teachings during our thought-provoking conversation.

My guest today, Dr. Nika White, says, “Diversity, equity, and inclusion is not just a checkmark for good business; it’s a way to transform the world.” As an award-winning management and leadership consultant, keynote speaker, published author, and executive practitioner for DEI efforts across the business, government, nonprofit, and education, Nika helps organizations break barriers and integrate diversity into their businesses.   The heart of Nika’s work, which you’ll hear all about in this episode, addresses the ability to create transformative environments with intentionality around inclusion.

If you’ve been running a business in the online space for any length of time, you’ll know that a lot of people use outdated marketing methods when promoting things like summits—methods that, quite frankly, feel manipulative rather than relational. In today’s episode of the Movement Makers podcast, I invite Dawn Serra, CEO of Radical Summits, onto the show to talk about how entrepreneurs can create successful, ethical, and inclusive online events and summits that prioritize relationship-building over getting butts in seats.  When Dawn speaks, everything she says is gold. We also talk about manipulative marketing practices, anti-capitalist pricing, accessibility, and why list building shouldn’t be our only focus.

What happens when your career, or your business, becomes your entire identity? Boundaries get blurred, you feel guilty saying no, you avoid conflict, and your happiness becomes defined BY your work, and how successful you are—or are not. Joining me for a conversation about how to uphold your boundaries and level up your influence, is executive presence coach and founder of Copper + Rise, Joanna Lovering.  In this episode, Joanna opens up about her childhood and her relationship with her mother, her relationships at work, in her career, and as a business owner, and dissects the enmeshment that connects them all. We also talk about how we can choose to show up differently, develop a sense of agency, and determine our true priorities.

Brand Scientist and digital diplomacy advisor N. Chloé Nwangwu joins me on the podcast this week. Chloé is the founder of NobiWorks, a brand awareness consultancy, and a writer and researcher who has advised everyone from small island nations and the first refugee delegation to the UN to small, black-owned mom-and-pop shops. She’s passionate about helping people overcome systemic barriers to visibility, influence, and success and bridge the gap to where they’re meant to be. In this conversation, we talk about Chloé’s experience as a mediator during the Yemen Civil War, the reality of invisibility taxes for underrepresented BIPOC and women-led businesses, her issues with “niching”, and a different way to think about generating influence.
