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

What’s the container of transformation that best supports you?
What’s the container of transformation that best supports the change you lead yourself and your people through? — I’m going to watch Trevor Noah live in Singapore in 3 hours. I’ve been following him regularly for months now, watching the MULTIPLE videos he posts in the same day as my day progresses. On one level, he’s shown a real example of there’s no such thing as too much content - he’s part of the reason I feel comfortable doing to back to back live videos. On another level, this is the first time I’ve given money directly to Trevor’s world. And when I take out my wallet, I like to explore why. Today it’s gotten me to think about my distinctions between audience, tribe, and community and the capacity of transformation within each.

You are already a leader (even if you haven’t yet realized it).
You are already a leader (even if you haven’t yet realized it). You are already changing the world everyday ( even when you aren’t trying). You are already ready (even if the task seems impossible or scary). You are already enough ( even if it feels like you can’t be what others want - you are exactly what we need) -- Step up and own who you already are. You are a gift to your world - don’t hold it back.

I’m not impressed...
This episode was really edgy for me to make live... and remains edgy for me to post it on the podcast. Which is why I'm doing it. #speakingmytruth

Are you thinking like a human or are you processing like a machine?
Are you thinking like a human (quantum thinking) or are you processing like a machine (binary thinking)? As machines and technology become more wide-spread and accessible, we often feel we need to spend more time operating like a machine with clear black or white options. I call SHENANIGANS to that! We have the wonderful opportunity to be human and with it comes a unique way of thinking that we alone have access to. Let's make the most of it!

How do You make the invisible visible?
"We often compare how WE FEEL on the INSIDE to how THEY LOOK on the OUTSIDE." ~Rich Litvin This episode dives into our opportunity as Trailblazers to create safety by choosing to be vulnerable to share the invisible feelings within us so that others can see themselves as well.
