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

Real-time calibration for powerful leadership-> people pleaser to Pioneer leader
Listen to the full episode here https://nemoashong.com [Real-time calibration for powerful leadership-> people pleaser to Pioneer leader] I recently had a conversation with a business owner exploring potential partnerships. Mid-way through the conversation (literally 45 mins into it), I realized that I was spending my energy and our time trying to position myself in a way that would impress, make her feel I would be a valuable asset, and come across as an expert she want to work with. The worst part is that I’m good at that, which meant I’d be getting pulled in for "opportunities" I didn’t really want. AND she wouldn’t consider me for the types of projects that actually align with me and my highest value and values. I had spent 45 mins slipping into a persona based not on who I was but rather who I felt she wanted me to be! More on the leadership strategies I used to navigate myself to a place that now has us exploring business opportunities that actually serve the people we want in ways that align with what we’re about in the video. -- One of the biggest challenges for Pioneer leaders is settling for people pleasing rather than authentic servant leadership. It makes sense: we’re multi -talented, multi-passionate, energetic and empathetic leaders. Part of what allows us to pursue these talents and passions amongst varied groups and people is our empathetic ability to pick up on what we feel others want to hear, give them that, and then use micro- indicators in body language, words, tone, and energy to guide us on what’s "right" in the conversation. That’s people-pleasing 101 and a tool I’ve used over and over as a leader to feel "accepted" and to "build connection". However, there are levels of leadership that go beyond acceptance, connection, and pleasing which include belonging, relationship, and serving. Have you caught yourself building a true and yet at the same time inauthentic image of yourself while trying to make a good impression? Lets talk about how you can make the shift from people pleaser to servant leader mid-conversation/relationship through the video and comments below.
