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 to be lucky - Tribe 1:1 Coaching
Some people want luck. Some people find luck. And a smaller subset still is able to create luck (even if they do so subconsciously). I'm happy to introduce you Jaspreet who is an Outlier, Pioneer, and Maverick who consistently creates opportunities where few others would think possible. During our conversation, we call out 4 unique elements to his natural approach to create luck. The point here isn't to take what works for him and make it yours. Instead, I invite you to listen not for his 4 elements, but to the process, we used to call out those elements. While you're listening, use our conversation as a light and reflection into your own life and business. Questions to consider: Where in your life have you created tremendous success with such ease and comfort that it could only be described as "luck"? (e.g. 10x results for 10% effort aka 100x) What conditions do you need in order for "luck" to meet you at it's highest probability? Where might you be downplaying or ignoring your own natural talents because they are in fact "natural" and easy? What would happen to your life/business if you came from that "way of being" intentionally over the next 3 years?

Capitalizing on the gifts that fear brings us
CAPITALIZING ON THE GIFTS THAT FEAR BRINGS US Do you have a mission or vision of the way your world could look that scares you? I’ve been on vacation in Sri Lanka for the past week which has given me a chance to see my business and my impact from a higher / big picture vantage point. Between the waterfalls, hikes, tea factories, and beaches, my mind has been drifting to the sheer size of the mission we stand for at Empjoyment: to bring together a truly inclusive and empowered world. It’s that last word “ world” that has been bringing up a sense of fear for me. As I travel more and more, I’m finding out just how nuanced the challenges to true inclusion are in different countries, communities, and ways of work. If I had to dive deeper on this particular fear, it’s the fear that I’m being naive around how the world works. It’s the fear that I’ll be utterly unsuccessful and a failure because I tried to “boil the ocean”. It’s the fear that if I fail, I’ll be reinforcing the more restricting belief that the path to success is in conformity and marginally improving the status quo rather than being able to set my own unique path - essentially one of core principles I operate from. And a fear of wasting my potential by pursuing a unobtainable ideal. From these fears came both a revelation and a reminder of something I once knew but forgot. Today’s Fear Less February video shares my journey to find the gift amongst the fears and invites you into a conversation to explore and share hidden gifts for you as well. Watch and subscribe for more resources to support your Pioneer Leadership journey: https://Empjoyment.com/youtube #FearLessFebruary Side note: I’ve finally written my mission enough that the iPhone is able to predict it. A subtle reminder that I stand for something real.

A Journey of Vulnerability, Being Present and Serving Powerfully
As we start things off with the Outliers, Pioneers, and Mavericks conversations, I feel it's important to make sure I'm showing the real journey, not just the polished version that makes it all look easy and flawless. So let's start with what I don't want you to know about me... I recorded this conversation in December of 2017... and didn't publish it for another year and a half. There are a lot of reasons for that including energy fatigue of keeping up a podcast, not feeling aligned with where the podcast was going, and probably the most honest of them all, embarrassment because I had let so much time go by since we had initially recorded the session. I feel it's important to document my journey as an Outlier, Pioneer, and Maverick myself. And one of the things I've learned is that if you choose to be the first, the only, or one of a kind, there are times when it can feel scary to put your ambitions, dreams, and visions into the world. If there's anything I feel the simple act of releasing this conversation 1.5 years later shows, is that it's never too late to create the future you want to see in the present you are in.
