When you experience something that elicits an emotional response at work, you respond according to the extent of the emotional burdens you carry.Our burdens come from our past traumas combined with the real-time heart-wrenching news–on repeat–we are moving through right now in our country. And our places of work can also be ground zero for some really painful experiences or where we relive difficult life experiences. When we can connect the impact of our traumatic and difficult life experiences to how we lead, that builds the foundation for a trauma-informed culture. It also moves us out of an individualistic lens to a collective approach to healing and change.And when we can name the traumatic experiences that happen in our places of work without retribution and move to accountability and repair, this also builds a trauma informed culture that moves us beyond pathologizing pain and struggle to normalizing. Even healing it.When the whole community is moving forward together guided by principles that foster safe and brave spaces, this is where we can cultivate change individually and systemically.My guest today has an approach to leading that supports workplaces to be thriving businesses that build the kinds of communities that heal and push back on the power over approaches so many of us were raised in and trained in.Pamela Slim is an award-winner author, speaker and business coach who works with small business owners ready to scale their businesses and IP.

Pamela Slim is a business coach and co-founder of K'é Main Street Learning Lab, a grassroots community-based think tank for small business acceleration. She is also the author of multiple works, including Body of Work, Escape from Cubicle Nation , and The Widest Net. Today, Jonathan and Pamela engage in a rich discussion on building empathy and trust with clients and the importance of having a values-based mission and vision. Pamela speaks to her earliest experiences with money, explains The Ecosystem Model from her book, The Widest Net , and shares what motivates and inspires her to continue the work she's doing.

“If you're designing a space for the most marginalized folks, by definition, the entire experience is going to be more inclusive for everybody.”   It is a gift to have Pamela Slim as our guest for the official start of Inclusive Life Podcast Season 2.    The conversation illuminates Pam's skills at disrupting business as usual. She points out over and over again the choices business owner's can make to cultivate one's business as an ecosystem versus approaching business building as an empire, amassing market power through competition, extraction, and hierarchy.   The conversation opens with the metaphorical opening of Pam's new book, The Widest Net, which she's dedicated to her dearest friend, Desiree Adaway. Pam holds up Desiree as a model for inclusive business leadership. Clarity, honesty, and revolutionary love are what she brings both to their friendship and to those she manages. What Pam and Nicole are highlighting in this opening tribute to Desiree is the tap root of a thriving ecosystem: companionship and community built around shared values. As listeners, you will feel the strong weaving of the net.    A competitive, scarcity-based, transactional approach to business success is isolating and rigid. There is little room for mistakes or authenticity. And if there is no room for authenticity, then there truly is no room for inclusion.   Many of us are in the process of building business, with all the insecurity and fear that accompany this journey. Often, equity and inclusion are values we want to work in AFTER our businesses have reached a certain level of stability. Once we get “there,” we'll really focus on equity. What Pam has seen in her long career in coaching business owners is that it doesn't get easier to prioritize equity and inclusion later. In fact, without centering equity and inclusion at the outset (or starting now), business owners inadvertently build their businesses with practices that center whiteness and hierarchy.    Nicole and Pam weed out the central themes of The Widest Net and Pam's evolving approach to business and coaching. They identify that practicing clarity, consistency, and ecosystems in an iterative, synergistic, and curiosity-fueled cycle is a way to weave a wide supportive, inclusive net.   Mind you, Pam is not talking about casting a net, which is much more of an empire building approach. She's talking about weaving a net that draws folks (including you!) into a supportive, connected community where everyone's unique gifts and lived experiences are valued and each can thrive.    This is not easy work. And that's exactly why we need a wide net.   Listen in. We can't wait to hear your takeaways.   The conversation also includes: Equity and inclusion: not “nice to haves” but qualities and practices that fuel businesses The validation that all of us business owners and managers are agents of change doing transformational work  The importance of being open  Why there is never a better time than now to build an inclusive and equitable business Choosing curiosity as a posture when leaning into inclusion and equity, especially as a new business owner Disrupting empire building while building our businesses A discussion of transformation and transaction that transcends the binary The three themes of The Widest Net   Bio:   Pamela Slim is an award-winner author, speaker and business coach who works with small business owners ready to scale their businesses and IP.    She is the author of Escape from Cubicle Nation (Penguin Portfolio, 2009), Body of Work (Penguin Portfolio, 2014) and The Widest Net (McGraw Hill, November, 2021).   Pam and her husband Darryl Slim co-founded the K'é Main Street Learning Lab in Mesa, Arizona, where they host scores of diverse community leaders and regular small business programming.   You can find Pam at: PamelaSlim.com Twitter: @pamslim Facebook: @pamela.slim LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pamelaslim/ Instagram: @pamslim

The Widest Net: Unlock Untapped Markets and Discover New Customers Right in Front of You by Pamela Slim About the Book: Discover and create a dynamic new model for growing your business by connecting with customers outside your usual field of view. Do you think you know your ideal customer? Think again. Many businesses create an ideal consumer profile―aiming all their sales and marketing efforts towards this single type of person―and end up missing out on endless opportunities to sell their services or products. Award-winning business coach, speaker, and author Pamela Slim has helped thousands of entrepreneurs around the world start, sustain, and scale their businesses. In The Widest Net, she explains how to build strong diverse relationships, identify and connect with new partners, expand markets, generate leads, and find new customers in places you may never have considered. Social media is a valuable business tool, but it can often create a comfortable cocoon for entrepreneurs, marketers, and leaders who all need to understand the entirety of the marketplace, not just their own social graph. With this book as a guide, you'll learn how to connect with potential clients and customers using the true breadth of the marketplace, which she calls an ecosystem of living connections. The Widest Net shows how to: Search outside your own lens/bias/routine/history to target ideal customers. Attract the interest and attention of new leads by learning more about them authentically. Develop products and services suited to these customers. Sell through a trusted reciprocity framework where your customers become part of your ecosystem and you each help the other grow. Build and sustain loyalty and trust with new customers. Nurture a diverse and resilient customer base by identifying and adjusting to the ideal customer target over time.
