This conversation takes place on a Zoom call for the Rooted Collaborative Retreat for successful women in leadership and business. In this conversation, Kishshana is joined by a long-time friend and inspiration, Ify Walker. Get your pen and notepad and take some notes! There are some gems shared by Ify that take authenticity to a whole new level.

Ify Walker is the Founder & CEO of Offor* - the national talent brokerage (www.offor.co). Clients come to Ify for her trademark no-nonsense counsel on building high-performing teams; debunking the meritocracy myth; abolishing performance reviews, and exploring how to ensure that the future of work is a virtual 25-hour workweek.

Her work has been featured in the Stanford Social Innovation Review, Fast Company, and PBS News Hour.

Ify is an attorney by training and a proud product of Nigerian parents, the original dairy state, and Head Start. She is a mother of two, a sister to five, and wife to the best decision she's ever made. When she's not questioning everything, you can find her running Mom's School of Excellence.

She also writes on her blog, Pass the Baton (passthebatonbook.com/blog)

Fab Crew, make sure you stay tuned in until the very end for a new added segment, "Kish Tips".
