     In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. is joined by Dr. Tamika Pollins who runs the full-service consultancy firm, Pollins & Associates.

    • how women self-sabotage and what they can do to change it
    • leadership challenges, pitfalls, and mindsets to avoid in often male-dominated leadership cultures 
    • ways men, particularly Black men, can serve as allies to Black women in the workplace.

  • Give the Old You Away: Clear Your Closet, Release Your Creativity
    One of the first creative acts we perform each day begins in our closets. Figuring out what to wear has more implications for how we show up in the world and at work than we might think. The relationship we have with our closet can ignite or extinguish the creative capacities we "wear" in the world and in our work.

  • Some Things Are Worth Letting Go: Old Files & Other Future Killers

    Overloaded inboxes, old files, and cloud storage full of notes, documents, relationships, and beliefs from the past are poor stewards of our present and future. Be they good or bad holding on to “old files” are traps we create for ourselves literally and figuratively that keep us from looking ahead and moving forward.

  • Crawling Counts

    Taking small steps toward something isn't sexy but it is progress and when taken one at a time they start to add up. One of the things that keep us from taking even a single step away from where we want to leave to where we want to go are the self-sabotaging thoughts we tell ourselves that our seemly small inconsequential movement can't make the difference. In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. shows how we can begin to put an end to the personal mental assault we launched on our own conscience by taking action – one step at a time.
