Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong

Having an idea and actually stepping out to implement it is no easy feat. The idea sounds great while still in your mind but to move to your next level, you will need to actualize it and then sell it. A step that has many entrepreneurs a little shaken. Christine Volden and I dive deep into a conversation that covers all you need to get to that next level. She reveals truths that have brought her success time and time again. YOUR JOURNEY CONTINUES Trust yourself! That's it because you have everything you need to get you to where you need to be. 

In order to make an impact in the world, you need to bring more vulnerability by showing up more authentically. You need to venture into places that others wouldn't want to go and by doing this, you are making connections that truly matter.  Dr. Chris Joseph joins me in this impactful conversation that dives deeper into the power that comes when we show up authentically. He isn't afraid to appear vulnerable as long as his message serves others. YOUR JOURNEY CONTINUES What would happen in your life if you chose to make non-action a non-option?

There is this perception out in the world that hustle is a hard grind, and maybe that’s what it is. As Pioneers, Outliers and Mavericks, we have to deal with fulfilling this expectation but also with carving out paths less travelled. This can get exhausting and the zeal you started your journey with can slowly fade.  In this discussion with a fellow Pioneer, Dr. Sarah Coxin, an experienced ex-archaeologist, who left that highly acclaimed profession to follow her desires gives her definition of the word hustle and brings insight to the pressure that comes with the term. Society has made it seem like if you aren’t getting results, you aren’t focused enough, and yet she wants to feel to achieve a flow which makes everything happen in a seamless motion.

Trust conundrum: Knowing too much and simultaneously not knowing enough.

https://empjoyment.com "I feel like this is the first time I have been truly seen..." I spent the last week in London at the Youpreneur Summit. What will stay with me always are the 5 people who shared with me that they felt fully seen as a result of a conversation with me. These were 5 people who in a lot of visible ways have achieved more success than me and more impact than me. AND through it all, felt more like my peers than most other people I encountered. They were each a more powerful leader than others tend to see. They had created success in unconventional ways and were at the precipice of something beyond that. They didn’t know it yet, but it was shining out of them as brightly as a candle in a dark room. Their work was not done - it is time from them to take their success and start creating unconventional impact. But it’s not something most of us choose see - in ourselves and in others. We often focus on the outer journey of being visible (likes, views, hearts, mentions, audience size, downloads, books sold, etc.) As movement leaders, we are required to go beyond the surface of what looks good to make our inner journey visible as well. You can shift the entire trajectory of someone’s life by giving them the gift of being seen, heard, and understood. This used to be a "fru-fru" kind of statement to me until the people I worked with consistently started their own movements, leveled up their impact, and started to change their world during the time we worked together. I’ll say it so you don’t have to: "You are here to change the world in a way that only you can. " If you are ready to fully step into being a powerful and authentic leader who ushers us into a new and brighter future, we should talk. I am curating a special group experience for 10 Trailblazers who, like you, know they can take their impact to the next level and want a guide and companions as they navigate the uncharted territories of this next frontier. You cannot simply buy your way into this group and program. I’m not here to convince you to join it either. You’ll already know it’s for you if you have felt the calling to something greater. I acknowledge you for stepping into this level of leadership and impact. You are here to change the world. We’re here to help you become the leader who does. If now is the time for you or someone you know to answer or figure out your purpose and your soul’s calling to elevate the future of your world, leave a comment/send a message and I will invite you to explore whether we will be the tribe that helps you as you fulfill your purpose.

You are here to change the world. Let’s help you become a leader who does! #outlier2trailblazer

Hi! My name is Niiamah Ashong and I’m an imposter... https://niiamahashong.com/tribe

How to give the worst presentation of your life! (it’s easier than you think!!) --- I’m currently enrolling for 2 programs that start in January 2020 for which I’m incredibly proud and excited. I want to give you an opportunity to join us and immerse yourself in the unique communities of practice we create so you can experience and bring all of you to your life, work, and impact. 1) Trailblazer Oasis This program is for people who know that they are unique and different from other people AND want to leverage more of who they are to lead themselves and others to the next level of impact. A Trailblazer is someone who is willing to go through the risky, uncertain, and uncharted wilderness in order to make the path easier for others in future. The Oasis is your haven from it all to rejuvenate and recalibrate amongst a group of peers who challenge, champion, and change with you along your journey. You have a purpose, a mission, a message, and a vision of a future that is distrinct from the past. You aren’t interested in simply improving the status quo - you’re looking to transform the status quo towards a possibility few even realize. You have already been playing a "big game" in the eyes of other people in terms of impact, influence, and income, but you know that there is the next league you want to play at (and are having trouble consistently showing up that way). The Trailblazer Oasis is a Community of Practice specifically designed to help you authentically and powerfully lead others to a higher level of impact by up-leveling yourself in ways that are in integrity with you, your values, and your unique talents. We address the three most common challenges we find holding Trailblazers back - being misunderstood, being misaligned, and being mistaken that they are alone and need to do it a certain way to be successful. By the end of this 9 month Community of Practice, you’ll have transformed in several areas including: + Your Vision + Your Strategy + Your Mindset + Your Unique Talents + Your Energy + Your Tribe + Your Leadership + Your Next Level + Your Impact + Your Visibility + Your Support + Your Story + Your Platform + Your Message + Your Profit Individual clients who have gone through their personal Trailblazer Oasis program have seen results including: + Sharing their message to a 500-person audience within 1 mknth + Being featured on a TV show (and now...) + Hosting their own TV show + Launching their first group program/course + Posting their first Live videos + Enrolled high-level corporate clients + Organizing their first online communities + Speaking on panels and podcasts + and much more While these results are great, what makes this program unique is that each person is ACTIVELY CREATING THEIR VERSION OF THE FUTURE TODAY! They aren’t waiting to get their message out. They aren’t held back by the sheer size of their vision. And they aren’t wasting energy creating things that aren’t aligned with their vision because of someone else’s system. Instead They are creating the impact they want to see in larger waves in the future with the world they are in and are getting opportunities to take it to higher levels and more people at an Exponential rate. WARNING: If you choose to join us, please be aware that some goals might come faster than you had expected. And others may not come at all, in service of something more aligned with what you truly want to create. I am an expert at supporting people in creating community, impact, and transformation through their unique personality. The Trailblazer Oasis is limited to 10 Trailblazers and is starting in January 2020. This is designed as a group of peers, so you can join by invitation, referral, or application only If you are ready to take your unique impact to the next level, then we should talk. Send me a message and we can explore from there. 2) Unapologetically You This program is all about practicing how you can Be More You for you. At
