Summary
"Everything is figureoutable. Like, everything can be figured out if you want it to." – Kristen Kosinski Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Kristen Kosinski, coach, former Paramount executive, nonprofit founder, and mother, for a raw look at what it actually takes to reinvent yourself again and again without losing what matters most. Kristen has had four careers, seven roles, and one relentless skill: figuring it out. In this conversation, Niiamah helps her see that the drift-and-reset cycle she calls failure is actually the most advanced navigation tool a trailblazer has, and that she's already living the life she's still trying to build. If you're a leader building something without a map, this one's for you. Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.
