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.

We’re more than just quarterly numbers and Excel spreadsheets.

The face of leadership has changed. No longer are we focused only on our bonuses, bottom lines, and investor reports. Assimilation is out, authenticity is in.

Kish with planner

My Name is Kishshana Palmer and
when it comes to conventional
leadership, I call bullsh*t.

As your resident leadership and management wiz, I’ve learned that leadership has a bad rap. Many folks feel that it’s stuffy. Out of reach. Full of jargon. And only reserved for old white men.

That ends today.

I’m taking my almost two decades in executive leadership and inviting my friends - CEO’s, Strategists, Psychologists and more - to pull up a seat and give you the real deal on what it takes to be a leader on your own terms.

What we are looking for:

We know that everyone has a story to tell so here's what we “generally '' look for. You’re a leader of a company, organization, team across any industry. You’re willing to tell the THA TRUTH (so if you need carefully crafted statements we don’t go together) and can “cut up” in the studio. We rap about personal and professional development, wellness and wellbeing, equity and inclusion, family, leaving a legacy, philanthropy...you name it (in my Shirley Caesar voice). And your host is unapologetically Black...every single day.

See you soon!

I am back in podcast studio putting the finishing touches on Season 3 of my podcast Let's Take This Offline: The Podcast for Everyday Leaders. I got SO amped that I recorded a special four part series I'm calling "Grow Where You Are Watered". 
This is a summer well series for all of you who are thinking “How do I do life better?”, “How do I shift?”, “How do I pivot?”, and “What is in it for me right now in this season?”. Grow Where You are Watered is a quick wellness series right here on Let's Take This Offline and I am ready to dig into these questions and more.
Here's the breakdown:
In episode 1 we'll unpack Planning Vs Pausing. In episode 2, we will explore the question I ask every time we get out of character... "Are We Well?"
You know I'm going to incorporate leadership and what better way than exploring how to create a Leadership Roadmap in episode 3. In episode 4, I ask "Can You be Vulnerable?"
The podcast is all about the conversations we have in the meeting AFTER the meeting and questions we really want to explore but don't.
So before we kick off Season 3 on September 8th --- let's continue our summer wellness check in/check up with Episode 1 of GROW WHERE YOU ARE WATERED sponsored by Bloomerang. 
Episode 1 is LIVE!

#Repost We don’t know if you’ve gotten the memo or not but 🗣 ISSA #SoftGirlSummer! 🎉
Black women are LONG overdue to no longer living life in pain, struggle, frustration, strife, or lack - all in the name of “strength”. It’s BEYOND time for us to stop putting others before us and making the necessary changes for us to show us as our soft, vulnerable, and deserving selves - in AND out of the office. ✨
Bottom line - it’s time to sign the permission slip to your BETTER, sis. 
If you feel like you’re in a place where you are ready to reconnect with your motivations, build a new foundation or figure out how to move into your “next” with ease, then (❗️real talk❗️) ROOTED RETREAT: BLOOM is for you. 
We’ll be calling in + connecting to our softer lives through three rejuvenating days of immersive conversations, events, and more in an all-inclusive experience! What better way to end the summer than relaxing on the white, sunny sands of Jamaica?! 🇯🇲 🏖 
Link in bio for more info and to grab one of the remaining spaces 💋
And repeat after us: I’M ON A NEW VIBRATION AND I’M BUILDING MY OWN FOUNDATION. ✊🏾

Have you ever thought to yourself (about an employee), "If they don't like working here, they can just leave. It's no big deal." ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Actually, it IS a big deal. And an expensive one. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Think of it this way. To bring new talent on board, you'd have to go through the challenges of defining roles, posting jobs, interviewing qualified (or not so qualified) applicants, and onboarding the new talent onto the team. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When all you needed to do was meet your employee halfway. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Let us show you how to do just that. ​​​​​​​​
