Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong

Get out of your own way! Not Knowing could be the exact path to your greatest impact - listen to explore how.

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!

"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.

A few weeks ago, I made the decision to retire my nickname of "Nemo" and return to my actual name "Niiamah". I had no intention that morning of ever changing my name from Nemo. I had gone be that nickname for over 15 years. And in one hour, I went through an experience that forever shifted my life and had me proudly reclaim who I truly am. This episode capture the stories behind the Life, Death, and Rebirth of Niiamah Ashong. It is a story unlike any other because it is my story. What's your story?

What’s working on me right now: It’s easier for me to try to improve my weaknesses than to live up to the true potential of my gifts. A focus on weaknesses has the ability to marginally improve a mediocre past. A focus on gifts has the ability to create a unique contribution currently unknown and not experienced in my world such that a new future has the possibility to be brought to life. In the video, I share: - Why feedFORWARD is more powerful than feedBACK - why you get higher returns on your investment into honing your unique gifts and talents than on improving your weaknesses - a special invitation to a one time small group coaching experience where you can learn how to discover, embrace, and leverage your unique talents and skills in any setting

I’m Playing at my next level. I’m no longer playing behind the guise of a made-up business name. I’m here to play full out and with the all-stars. My mission is beyond myself and it turns out that I’m “a lot”. So I’m embracing that and going all in. There’s a lot of “new” that I have been working on these past few weeks (and there’s a lot more to be shared in the future). + New Brand (www.facebook.com/NemoAshong) + New website (https://NemoAshong.com) + New videos and podcast: I’m living the life of Outliers, Pioneers, and Mavericks, I create members of the Outliers, Pioneers, and Mavericks tribe, and I’m constantly creating space through coaching and group conversations. Not everyone is ready to work with me, AND I feel there are valuable insights from watching others get served. So going forward, I’m focused on documenting and sharing conversations that I have with you all. I’m coaching people live on the POMcasts, you get to see how I am navigating climbing my next mountain as I’m coached, and I’m exploring “dangerous” topics with ordinary people who are willing to both safe and brave in order to make change in their world.

I’m Nemo Ashong, and I’m afraid.... I wasn’t sure of what I was afraid of in this particular case (I actually operate through fear most of the time I choose to be visible). This time the fear manifested as a fear to truly play at my next level before I was “ready”. I’ve been building up, researching, analyzing, brainstorming, documenting, strategizing and a lot of other things as a a form of Resistance (ala Steven Pressfield’s “The War of Art”). It was in a blind spot - operating me from the shadows, until it was brought to light during a conversation with Coen Tan. He made it clear that if I ever ran into a challenge I did not yet know how to face in business because I was playing at my next level, he had my back and my side to help me create what was needed to rise to the challenge. And a wave of relief rushed over me. Partially because I had someone who I could go to with new challenges. Partially because that was the exact moment that my current fear became visible to me - and once discovered the negative impact, I then had the ability to choose to embrace it as a neutral part of me, then leverage it as an opportunity to share and to serve others, in the future, and then find a way to grow and appreciate the value over time by investing in it. This post and video represents part of that process. Partially because I can now better utilize the existing support that I get through partners, masterminds, coaches, mentors, and communities. But mainly because I feel free again to really go for next level challenges and know that there is a net that will catch me. That net may need to be built in real-time AS I’m falling, but I know how to get that support now for multiple sources. - - - What would change for you if you felt confident that even when you extended yourself beyond your current capabilities, you would be supported? What would you love to take on that you currently are not? Who can can share that vision/desire with that can provide support as you leap forward in your next level?

One of the biggest challenges Pioneer leaders face is slowing down enough to truly celebrate their accomplishments. I know that to be true because it’s hard for me too. When things get hard, I go live to share it in real-time. Join me to celebrate some recent accomplishments with Empjoyment, myself and the leaders I choose to serve!
