Outlier's Edge Podcast is a live coaching podcast where we come together in conversation to work through the challenges and apply the gifts of being a unique tribe of high-performing, high-impact entrepreneurs, changemakers, and leaders who choose to play a bigger game of impact, influence, and income than we've ever play before.
What's an Outlier?
An Outlier is a high-performing, high-impact leader who often is:
One of the Only: Thrive in systems/environments that were not designed to have someone like them succeed,
One of the First: Thrive doing things no one else has ever done or dares to even try
One of a Kind: Thrive on their unconventional and independent terms regardless of what others around them are doing
THIS IS A PODCAST FOR PEOPLE WHO:
- aren't afraid of "playing small", but are scared of "thinking medium".
- Are exploring new frontiers in society or their field
- Are at the top of their field or business against typical odds and expectations from others like them,
- Are taking an independent and unconventional approach outside of the status-quo
- know that their mindsets, limiting beliefs, and other internal struggles are actually shared with other leaders who stand for a new vision of the future and change the world for those they lead
HOW EACH PODCAST CONVERSATION IS GOING DOWN
*Part 1- Your Journey*
Features the unique stories of a different trailblazing leader as we explore the *inner* journey they went on as they were creating the outer results we all got to see.
*Part 2 - Your Edge*
Since this group of people are already out on the edge, traditional information doesn’t always serve them. They need new insights and perspectives, and the best way I know how to do that is through coaching.
Each guest will have the option to play on their edge and get coaching around a challenge or a possibility they are working towards.
I'm playing on my edge here as well. I have typically reserved coaching for my high-performing, high-impact clients as closed door sessions.
It keeps my clients safe, and it keeps me safe.
*But safe doesn't change the world.*
Join us as we choose to be both safe AND brave by showcasing the impact coaching has to help us achieve belonging, possibility, and inclusion.
Time to play at a higher level!
*** Bonus since you made it this far ***
Here's a special gift to support you for 14 days in navigating what lies beyond YOUR edge as a high-impact, high-performing leader
