Kimi Walker is a School Psychologist who teaches how we can use tools of behavior change to make our goals stick. She is the host of the Early Accountability Podcast, and a 2017 graduate of Package Your Genius Academy. An expert on early accountability, an educator, and a psychologist who personally changed her life by losing over 100 pounds, Kimi has learned what it takes to take new, scary actions and create an environment that encourages our new habits to stick. With a background in school psychology Kimi regularly conducts psychological evaluations, and is the go-to person when dealing with cases that require behavior change. The parallels between working in schools and working with adults who are trying to spark a new behavior are many. As Kimi shares during our interview, everyone responds differently to stimuli, so she works hard to assess each client and figure out what each person needs to succeed. She customizes solutions for students and coaching clients alike using her philosophy of "Results, Not Resolutions."   Kimi’s Steps for Sticking to New Goals 1. Know what you're working toward. Set a big goal. Remind yourself of your goal often. 2. Know your achievement style and what works best for you to achieve. What do you need in order to be able to execute? 3. Find something fun you like to do, or a milestone you can work towards that supports that new goal (i.e. Goal - weight loss, Milestone - train for a marathon). 4. Be intentional about getting support and accountability. Find a coach or other expert who can cut your learning curve.   As mentioned in the episode Get Kimi’s Level Up and Launch Checklist by texting HELPMELAUNCH to 44222 As always, grab Package Your Genius: 5 Steps to Build Your Most Powerful Personal Brand on Amazon Package Your Genius Personal Branding Companion Workbook is available on Amazon  

EAP 38: Preparing for a Healthy Marriage While You're Single or Still Dating by Kimi Walker

Kimi Walker's guest on this episode of the Early Accountability Podcast is Jas Thomas, a community leader who has started the Girls with Goals Movement to make positive images of women of color more prominent in society. Jas takes a very hands-on approach to this movement, often hosting “empowerment events” that include a social aspect as well as a panel discussion with professionals in the fields of physical health, mental health, and financial wellbeing. She has also recently started a program to help women achieve goal clarity and be provided with the motivation and accountability they need to succeed. Jas has found that there is a barrier between interacting with an online community and actually meeting with those same people in person. She has built her network with relationships cultivated individually both online and in person, and her advice is to reach out to those people you know you can touch or could impact you. Online, you can easily engage with the social media posts of those people who interest you, and you can search Eventbrite for events in your area where people you want to network with may go. Topics Covered in this Episode: • Starting a movement • Overcoming hurdles to achieve your goals • Networking advice • Creating positive images of women of color

EAP 26: Perfecting Your Digital Marketing + Visual Strategy by Kimi Walker

On this episode of the Early Accountability Podcast with Kimi Walker, our guest is Marvin Prather, an educator and intervention coordinator who spends his days working with kids who have math or reading deficits to get them up to grade level. Marvin has seen students make great improvements in their math and reading skills as well as their behavior in the classroom by partnering with the student’s classroom teacher to create a plan of action specifically for that student. Typically, the first step in helping students in subject areas of deficiency is to put them in a small group of students to go over the subject matter to give each student more personalized attention and the ability to ask more clarifying questions if they do not understand. If this method does not show improvement after a few weeks, the classroom teacher will have a meeting with the student’s parents to discuss what has already been done to help their child and they will discuss together a plan for increased interventions, such as increasing small group time to 2-3 times per week or reducing the number of problems being presented for the student to solve. In most situations, Marvin has noticed measurable improvement within 2-3 months. Marvin’s advice to parents is to talk to the child’s classroom teacher to see if there are any resources they can be using at home to help their child progress. Additionally, if the child’s teacher has contacted the parents to discuss their child’s behavior in school, it is likely that their behavior is linked to difficulty understanding some of the subject matter being taught, so this should be handled appropriately and consistently. Marvin’s advice to teachers is to set clear expectations and maintain a consistent environment for all students, using rewards or incentives to encourage good behavior and a rapport with the students that will create trust.

Kimi Walker's guest on this episode of the Early Accountability podcast is Robin Clark, an overcomer of life circumstances who has found belonging and purpose as an aesthetician. During Robin’s freshman year of college, she was the victim of sexual assault.  She transferred to a different school closer to home, but eventually moved back home before completing her schooling because she needed to properly cope with and process what had happened to her.  She found great satisfaction and achievement in teaching herself yoga, which connected her mental and physical body in a way that allowed her to compartmentalize her trauma and give her an outlet to express her feelings. Robin also participated in counseling and with groups of other assault survivors, where she felt validation and affirmation in the emotions that she had been feeling, and through talking with other survivors and by publicly telling her story, she has been able to forgive her abuser and find a way forward in her life.  She now finds immense purpose and excitement as she serves her aesthetic clients, allowing them to feel better about themselves and their appearance.  Robin encourages anyone who might have been a victim of sexual assault to find the help you need and not be ashamed of what happened to you; things will get better if you just keep pressing on. Topics Covered in this Episode: -Robin’s journey of processing her sexual assault -Healthy ways that Robin has found to heal -Pursuing a career that aligns with your passion

In this episode of our Six Weeks to Fitness podcast, I am joined by Kimi Walker, a school psychologist, philanthropist, coach, and wellness enthusiast from Indianapolis, Indiana.  During the interview, Kimi will share her personal journey into health and wellness.  As a teenager, Kimi was obese, suffered from asthma and had to deal with various social and emotional challenges associated with obesity.  At one point, Kimi’s weight was close to 300 pounds.  While attending Florida A&M University, Kimi decided to undergo a lifestyle change and took certain action steps to lose the weight, all of which she will share during the interview.  Kimi believes that you must take a holistic approach to weight loss.  It’s not just about the body, but the mind and spirit as well. In addition to running her private practice as a school psychologist, working with children age 2 to 20 and their families, Kimi also has an accountability coaching business where she holds clients accountable in achieving their goals, whether it’s weight loss or business.  Kimi’s personal experience in wellness more than qualifies her to understand what so many people are going through when it comes to health challenges, whether they are mental or physical.  Kimi will share how she holds her clients accountable and what we can do to hold ourselves accountable when it comes to achieving our goals. If you think your life is busy, just listen to Kimi Walker.  This young woman has 4 personal brands, which includes being the host of the “Early Accountability Podcast” and running her own not-for-profit organization (Nubian Wellness). She shows no signs of slowing down.  If you need some inspiration and motivation to go after your goals, Kimi Walker has it!

Kimi Walker's guest on this episode of the Early Accountability podcast is Meico Whittlock, founder and CEO of the Mindful Techie, an organization that helps high-achievers reclaim their time and refocus on their life purpose. Meico uses his experiences on the brink of burnout to coach individuals and organizations on the topics of reducing digital distractions, reclaiming work/life balance, and refocusing on their purpose or mission in life. Meico identifies two key tools in this shift in perspective: (1) deciding to live in a way that will fulfill your own life purpose, rather than in reaction to other people’s priorities, and (2) a very helpful Gmail tool that helps you spend less time in your inbox. It is easy to view your inbox and your calendar full of meetings as someone else’s to-do list for you, but Meico recommends shifting your mindset when an email comes in so that you see it as a way to fulfill your purpose rather than someone else’s. In Gmail, Meico uses the “when inbox ready” plugin that allows you to hide your inbox until you are ready to see it and then it provides you with metrics about how long and how many times you access your inbox over a specified timeframe. The three life-changing questions that Meico wants us to ask ourselves are: (1) What am I grateful for? (2) What would I do if I knew that I couldn’t fail? (3) What will people say about me after I die? The answers to these questions can either affirm that we are on the right path or alert us that we have strayed from our life purpose and we need to evaluate our vision and priorities. The items that we put on our calendars are the items that take precedence over everything else, so be sure to schedule time for what is important to you. Topics Covered in this Episode: • Meico’s tools for focusing on your life’s purpose • The three key questions to ask yourself about your life’s purpose • How to still be able to spend time on social media without feeling guilty • Multitasking is a myth

Kimi Walker's guest on this episode of the Early Accountability Podcast is Zana Williams, a second-year law student and motivational speaker in the San Diego area. From an early age, Zana knew that she wanted to become an attorney, and she is very close to achieving this dream, despite experiencing the difficult loss of her father in 2014 and the difficult grieving process that followed. Zana made it through that very dark time only by the grace of God, who relentlessly pursued her and showed her His love even when she was angry with Him, and by watching the incredible strength that her mother demonstrated in the middle of her own mourning. Zana is dedicated to motivating people to reach their potential, from young people in Lesotho, Africa, to first-year law students that she intentionally mentors. Her life experiences have encouraged her to just keep pushing through struggles, to be transparent with your friends and family, and to seek accountability in the midst of struggles to go hard and focus on taking the next step. To aspiring lawyers, Zana recommends that they focus completely on their grades while preparing for and being in law school because it will be worth the lost networking and social time when it is all said and done. Topics Covered in this Episode: • Zana’s advice for aspiring lawyers • How Zana got through the loss of her father and grandmother • The importance of transparency in struggles • How her father’s funeral sparked Zana’s passion for motivational speaking For more information, visit earlyaccountability.com

Krystal Rising is our guest on this episode of the Early Accountability Podcast with Kimi Walker. Krystal is a mother of 3 boys under the age of 4 and is a writer and blogger at www.nubianwellness.com. When Krystal started blogging there, she wrote about her dating relationship with the man who would eventually become her husband, and she now focuses on healthy family relationships. Krystal’s advice about maintaining a healthy dating relationship is to keep the lines of communication open, to talk about whatever you are feeling, and to make your intentions clear with each other early on. She has noticed that relationships within the black community are viewed differently by society than other relationships, which is unwarranted. Krystal and her husband intentionally set aside time to plan out their schedules to ensure time for work, for the kids, and for their own relationship, specifically planning one date night per month. Krystal’s guidance to people who wonder if they are in an unhealthy relationship is to step back and evaluate the relationship and look for any warning signs that you might have experienced in previous unhealthy relationships. At that point, you have to decide whether you are going to stay in the relationship and communicate your concerns with your partner or if it is time for you to leave the relationship.

Our guest on this episode of the Early Accountability Podcast with Kimi Walker is India Rias Thompson, communications coordinator at the Purdue University Extension, lifestyle blogger, podcast host, and Regional Director of Black Bloggers United – Indianapolis. India graduated from IUPUI with a degree in Arts and Communication Studies (Broadcasting) and she has used this background to become the social influencer and digital communications resource that she is today. India’s passion about the importance of inclusion originates from her own life experiences of being a black gay woman, making her a target for discrimination in all areas of her life, and her desire to combat this discrimination is evidenced by her confident digital presence. India gives advice to people looking to become their own hero and unapologetically pursue their own “passion project”.

Our guest on this episode of the Early Accountability podcast with Kimi Walker is Vanessa, a motivational speaker and author focused on lifestyle and personal development. Vanessa’s mother worked hard to ensure that Vanessa had a good childhood and received a quality education. However, Vanessa still had significant adversity to overcome in her formative years, including the feeling of abandonment by her father as well as enduring multiple years of sexual abuse. Losing her son, Kamden, after a short 9 months in this world taught her incredible courage, as she had a front-row seat to the joy and heartbreak of watching his life begin and end. The practices of overcoming obstacles and applying positivity deeply impacted her in this time and eventually became the subject of the book that she is in the process of writing. Through her YouTube videos and social media posts, she encourages her followers to connect with their own souls, in whatever method works best for them, and use their found power to decide where to go after experiencing a loss or obstacle.
