Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong
Niiamah Ashong
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

How is COMPARISON keeping you from being a more impactful leader (Live Coaching w/ Niiamah Ashong)
"We often compare how WE FEEL on the INSIDE with how OTHERS LOOK on the OUTSIDE." - Rich Litvin Are you holding yourself back because: you feel doubt while others look confident? you feel unsure while others look like they have clarity? you feel afraid of failing while others look always succeed? I know these specific comparisons because they are persistent inner thoughts of mine. But I know I'm not alone with these thoughts . And you're not alone either. That's why we've revamped Outlier to Trailblazer coaching conversations to explore the "inner journey" of becoming a more impactful and influencial entrepreneur, thought-leader, coach, change-maker, author, business leader, and trailblazer.

Next Level Growth for Next Level Success (Live Coaching Niiamah Ashong)
At your current level growth, how are you choosing to play the game? What would it look like if you chose to live in your gifts by taking responsibility instead of becoming a victim of circumstance? I am joined by two game-changers who are not afraid to speak their truth no matter how unsettling it may be for others. Through this conversation, we dig deep at the meaning of “Next Level Game” and the lukewarm decisions they have made that have instead caused them not to show up more visibly. YOUR JOURNEY CONTINUES As you look into how to attain your next level success, take time to look at decisions that are a definite yes, a definite no and those which fall into the category I call “sure!”

Lionel Koh - Trust, Understanding, Vulnerability, and Authenticity as the Path to Inclusion
Inclusion is a term that has come up on many occasions recently and with good reason. To many, inclusion means tolerance. What if, however, we elevated the conversation in a meaningful way? Lionel Koh joins me in this conversation that illuminates the problem with inclusion as we have it now. He brings the duty of inclusion to you and I and our responsibility in taking the time to understand one another. YOUR JOURNEY CONTINUES What if we viewed inclusion as a way of getting to know other people's journeys? This would certainly change out would-be biased opinions to appreciation and respect.

Giving and Receiving Appreciation (Niiamah Ashong with Stacy Louise Christopher)
In our bid to make an impact on our creative paths, we can sometimes find ourselves questioning if whatever we are doing is working. It is normal to question yourself as you continue to trudge on the road less traveled. This is why you should purpose to receive any appreciation sent your way. Stacy points to put the strengths she sees in me during this conversation. It is a humbling experience that shows me how much of an impact the path I have chosen, is having on her and others. YOUR JOURNEY CONTINUES I have learned that surrounding yourself with the right people is priceless. They have a way of pointing out the strengths they see in you and at times this is all you have to hold on to.

A Journey of Vulnerability, Being Present and Serving Powerfully (Powerful Dialogues with Chris Joseph)
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?
