The podcast for everyday leaders.

Whether you’re running an organization, a team, or your household, I believe that everyone can lead well and live well.

No Second Guessing, You Are Enough feat. Ify Walker, Offor

This conversation takes place on a Zoom call for the Rooted Collaborative Retreat for successful women in leadership and business. In this conversation, Kishshana is joined by a long-time friend and inspiration, Ify Walker. Get your pen and notepad and take some notes! There are some gems shared by Ify that take authenticity to a whole new level.

Ify Walker is the Founder & CEO of Offor* – the national talent brokerage (www.offor.co). Clients come to Ify for her trademark no-nonsense counsel on building high-performing teams; debunking the meritocracy myth; abolishing performance reviews, and exploring how to ensure that the future of work is a virtual 25-hour workweek.

Her work has been featured in the Stanford Social Innovation Review, Fast Company, and PBS News Hour.

Ify is an attorney by training and a proud product of Nigerian parents, the original dairy state, and Head Start. She is a mother of two, a sister to five, and wife to the best decision she’s ever made. When she’s not questioning everything, you can find her running Mom’s School of Excellence.

Follow her on Twitter: @ifywalker or on LinkedIn: #DearBlackWomen.

She also writes on her blog, Pass the Baton.

Fab Crew, make sure you stay tuned in until the very end for a new added segment, “Kish Tips”

Kish Tip of the day – “Black Women Are Made For More Than Work”.

We are on Instagram

We’re over 6 months into the year, and K&CO has so much to show for it, friend!

In the past six months, we’ve been able to:

➡️ Help a flailing national organization turn around its financial outlook and reassert its executive leadership team.
➡️ Help a client staff their entire executive team and promote promising leaders from within to senior-level positions and provide them with access to upscaling resources.
➡️ Stop the bleed out of employees leaving an organization in droves and create a retention policy and practice that helps team members be seen and heard.

We’ve been able to deliver these transformations with nothing but ease and a smile because, as change management specialists, we do management differently.

We know the standard playbooks don’t work for you, and we work to find what does.

To learn more about how we can help your company or organization turn the ship without sinking the ship, click the link in our bio to get on our books.

We’re looking for you, Friend!

Truth is: Demand for our work is growing, and right now, with the speakers we have on hand, we`re only able to serve a limited number of organizations.

But as a highly motivated team dedicated to helping those in the nonprofit sector and beyond achieve their goals, we want to be able to refer other speakers for the speaking opportunities we’re unable to accommodate.

Especially with you sitting over there with all that magic!

So if you’re a passionate and experienced Keynote Speaker or Conference Host, here’s your invitation to apply to be a part of our speaker referral list. We’re looking for people who deeply care about the nonprofit sector and are eager to help leaders achieve their full potential.

We want to refer you to perfect-fit organizations that are looking for speakers and conference hosts.

When you sign up for our speaker referral list, you’ll get the opportunity to be referred to organizations that reach out to us that we are not able to accommodate. We’ll make the introduction, and the rest is up to you!
