What if your packed schedule is actually robbing you of the life you're working so hard to build? In this energizing and soul-stirring episode, speaker, author, and leadership coach Kishshana Palmer returns to share hard-earned wisdom from her new book Busy is a Four-Letter Word. With humor, vulnerability, and firecracker insight, she peels back the layers of what it really means to be “busy”—and why we keep wearing burnout like a badge of honor. From the moment her back literally gave out mid-suitcase-pack to the “green light” mindset that can reboot your ambition and your joy, Kishshana breaks down how to exit panic-mode productivity and embrace a more intentional, powerful way of living and working. This conversation is a masterclass in values-based decision-making, self-leadership, and how to build success that doesn't cost you your soul.

Bill Horan talks with Kishanna Palmer, author of BUSY IS A FOUR LETTER WORD.  Kishanna will discuss why she says busy is a four letter word, how to do less to achieve more, why multitasking is a myth and what are 4 strategies to get out of the busy trap.

Are you constantly busy but never feel accomplished? Farra Trompeter, co-director, and Kishshana Palmer, author, discuss Kishshana's book, Busy Is a Four-Letter Word: A Guide to Achieving More by Doing Less, what it means to work smarter, not harder, and offer practical insights for how personal development is professional development

What makes a nonprofit successful? A lot of things. An engaged donor base, for example. Enthusiastic Board members. A compelling case for support. Those are all necessary to grow your organization and sustain your mission. But a critically important and often overlooked element is the employee. Nonprofits suffer higher turnover than any other sector. The nonprofit turnover rate clocks in at just over 21% and the overwhelming majority of that is voluntary. Surveys show that nearly half of nonprofit employees will seek other jobs by 2025. So what can be done? This is where a successful employee retention strategy comes in. My guest is the one-and-only Kishshana Palmer, Kishshana is CEO of ManageMint Inc. , an organizational development firm focused on helping everyday leaders live well and lead well.

Kishshana Palmer, the CEO of Managemint, Inc., brings her vibrant energy and thoughtful approach to leadership and work-life balance, highlighting this frothy discussion emphasizing the significance of self-care, fun, and personal growth in effective leadership. Her approach to addressing common challenges in the nonprofit sector and beyond offers a refreshing perspective on balancing work and life while achieving professional success. Cohost Julia Patrick starts by praising Kishshana on how she navigates important conversations in a world that has undergone significant changes due to the global health crisis, civil unrest, economic shifts, and demographic changes. She posed the age-old question: "Is it possible to lead well and live well?" Kishshana responds emphatically, stating, "It's the age-old question, and I'm going to have to give a resounding yes." She highlights the importance of self-care, drawing parallels between the feeling of well-being after self-indulgence (like a facial or deep cleaning) and the daily routines and rituals that can provide a sense of everyday luxury. She emphasized the need to prioritize oneself and treat oneself well to be an effective leader. The cohosts add in that being busy doesn't equate to productivity. Kishshana offers advice on breaking away from the constant grind, distractions, and deadlines that often overwhelm us, and introduces the concept of business being a trauma response, explaining that being busy can serve as a way to avoid dealing with personal issues. She stressed that slowing down and focusing on self-care is essential for effective leadership. The conversation then shifted towards creating a thriving team, pointing to the importance of modeling behavior and fostering a work environment that encourages both productivity and fun. Kishshana shares insights on how her company values fun, making laughter an integral part of their work culture, engaging managers to reward team members for bringing their personalities and interests into the workplace. The discussion also touches on the challenges of balancing work and personal life in a remote work environment. Kishshana outlines infusing creativity, fun, and play into remote team interactions, mentioning activities like book clubs, podcasts, and virtual lunch and learns, and reminding us that people have different energy needs.

Meet Kishshana. She's an evangelist in her belief that having amazing talent is the #1 competitive advantage in your business

Remember, you can watch the Superpowers for Good show on e360tv. To watch the episode, download the #e360tv channel app to your streaming device–Roku, AppleTV or AmazonFireTV–or your mobile device. You can even watch it on the web.We recorded this episode in anticipation of airing it on Giving Tuesday; we had to postpone it due to my injury.Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Kishshana: My superpower is the ability to see you. So, one of my strengths is individualization.Kishshana Palmer, founder and CEO of ManageMint, a consulting practice that supports social enterprises, nonprofits and governmental entities, especially schools, joined me to discuss her work.She shared insights across a range of topics, but I particularly valued her thoughts about a vexing problem I see occasionally in the impact sector. Changemakers–including me, if I'm being honest–sometimes excuse poor activities in one area as justified by the pursuit of the mission.For example, it isn't that uncommon for climate change-focused folks to get caught failing to adequately consider the impact of their work on disadvantaged communities. Solar panels are commonly sold to affluent folks who can afford it. It makes perfect sense on the one hand but excludes or ignores less wealthy folks' desire to go green, too.Kishshana says, “When you design for marginalized groups, you almost always design for everyone.” By working to help those who might have the most difficulty being a part of what you're doing, you ensure that everyone can. You expand your audience.She likes to apply the principle across the board, from volunteers, employees and board members to the folks you serve and others who may be impacted directly or indirectly by your work.Kishshana has built her success in part by leveraging her superpower–her ability to see individuals.AI Episode Summary* Kishshana Palmer is a leader in the world of nonprofit social enterprise and the CEO, founder, and leader of ManageMint.* ManageMint is a people-focused, equity-centered change management consulting firm that helps organizations run better, achieve their goals, and take care of their employees.* Kishshana emphasizes the importance of celebrating Giving Tuesday by supporting and investing in local nonprofit organizations.* She believes in the power of seeing and understanding individuals, which is her superpower.* Kishshana coaches organizations to cope with the inherent stress of working on big problems by helping them focus on their purpose and long-term plans.* She encourages organizations to include equity and inclusion in their mission and to design for marginalized groups, as this often benefits everyone.* Kishshana shares a specific example of using her superpower to turn around a challenging organization by getting to know the team and their needs, redesigning job descriptions, and promoting from within.* She advises people to focus on their own wellness and understanding their own strengths and weaknesses before trying to see and understand others.* To learn more about Kishshana's work, visit managemint.co or connect with her on social media at @KishshanaPalmer.* Kishshana's work makes a difference by helping nonprofits and social enterprises be more effective in their work, ultimately benefiting the people they serve.How to Develop Seeing Individuals As a SuperpowerKishshana shared the story of working with a troubled impact organization. Folks hadn't had raises in years, turnover was increasing, and disengagement was rising.She came into the organization with an eye toward getting to know each person and helping to find or define a role that would suit them, allowing them all to feel greater self-actualization in the work.That story illustrates the power of seeing individuals. The organization benefited from having everyone individually fill a role that matched their skills, passions and abilities.To learn to see others, Kishshana says a key is to see yourself more completely and objectively, recommending that you form a personal board of advisors. You need to learn to see how your own behavior contributes to challenges in team dynamics.As you begin to look at others, it is essential to look past the surface and focus on motivations, like dreams and passions, that underlie people's actions. Kishshana says that when you adapt your approach to individuals, you can be more effective.By following Kishshana's example and advice, you can see individuals more effectively. With time and practice, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Kishshana Palmer - star of one of the most talked about episodes of the show returns for part 2 of our conversation about how to be healthy in a healthy relationship. In this episode Kish and I talk about the steps to getting into a healthy relationship, in particular how to date, which in 2023 is an Olympic sport. Dating allows you to explore people and yourself as you search for a partner(s) to help you fulfill your revolution. If you're in the dating pool, what are you looking for? What are your non-negotiables? How are you showing up as the best version of yourself? What do you need to pull back on? How willing are you to be vulnerable? These are all things Kish and I discuss. I will say this, effort and good communication are sexy! Enjoy.

What's good Revolutionaries? What makes you want to have sex time and time again? Sex has always been a taboo subject, yet its objectification is in our faces every day. Some of us learn early what sex is, this may or not be good. For boys as they mature, and particularly in this era of easy access to images, sex and intimacy may not be married together. (e.g. Pornhub) Thus, some may wonder, what is good sex? How can sex be more intimate? How can I be safe during a sexual encounter? Is it ok to be with more than one partner? What will make me want to be with just one partner? How do I pleasure my partner and a host of other questions? Continuing our Relationship series and following up the mega-successful episode with Kishshana Palmer. Dr. Sonjia Kenya joins me on the show. She is America's sexologist, an associate professor of Medicine at the University of Miami, the author of Sex in South Beach, and the host of the podcast with the same name. In this episode, we talk about the mind-body corollary when it comes to mind-blowing sex and how to create a safe space for sex to happen without worry. Dr. Sonjia remarks you can't have great sex if you are worried about the experience. For many men who experience erection problems, feeling psychologically unsafe may be the issue. We also discuss the steps men and the people who love them can take to have better sex tonight. In the midst of the conversation, we talk about how to be an ally to our LGBTIA brothers and sistas. It is a wonderful thing when we can celebrate "Sex", not just cisgender, heterosexual sex. This is a riveting, informative, eye-opening, and humourous conversation about a topic that is critical to our longevity and health. Please enjoy it like you enjoy your sex life. Please check out Dr. Sonjia on her podcast - Sex in South Beach and her book of the same name. You can find all of her materials at DrSonjia.com

Nonprofit leaders are always trying to do more with less. There never seems to be enough time in the day or enough resources to handle everything that comes along, but you still have to manage and lead your organization effectively.In today's episode, we're going to talk about leadership and management with Kishshana Palmer. Kishshana is an international speaker, trainer, and coach with a 20+ year background in fundraising, marketing, and talent management. When an organization wants to grow, find and retain people on their team, raise money, and more she is the fairy godmother they have on speed dial.Myths that Kishshana wants us to walk away from:You can do it all.  As a leader, you don't need to push yourself until you're exhausted because you think you have to. Invest in the systems and people around you that will allow you to let go of things and focus on what you do best.You don't have enough time. Understanding how you work, what time of day it is, what fuels you, and where you busy yourself, so you don't have to do your work, this is everything you need to know if you want to regain control of your calendar.Kishshana's tips on leadership and managementTaking rest and break: We have to rethink the way we approach rest. We need to release what used to work. And now start thinking about what is going to satisfy you in your adult life in this new season.The idea of bringing in play into the work is so important in order for us to start to grab those small pieces of reset that we need. You have agency and control:  You are the CEO of your responsibilities within the organization, regardless of your title in your organization. Understanding that you're actually in control of a lot more than you might think is critical when navigating the power dynamics within your organization.Leveraging resources: Leveraging tools and systems, developing your people and spending those dollars so that as you continue to grow. As you continue to deepen roots, you'll do so in a way that's healthy, that continues to attract folks who are there for longevity who want to have ties both to their work and ties to the community in a different kind of way, and who are healthy at work. Favourite Quotes from Today's EpisodePost your favorite quote on social media to share with us!“Let it be the last year that at 2022, that I utter this foolishness because I want to be in a place where if something were to happen to me or if I just wanted to take a darn break that I have hired capable folks who can take on the work that needs to be done, to be able to move the ball down the field.” Resources from this EpisodeKishshanaco.comKishshana's LinkedIn Kishshana's InstagramThe Good PartnershipOur friends at Keela are offering you 40% off your first year's subscription of their donor database.

Lord knows this topic is necessary for me and I am sure for many of my revolutionaries who are looking to be healthy in a healthy relationship. Powerhouse CEO and consultant Kishshana Palmer joins me on the show to have a powerful conversation about our relationship journey, the trials, tribulations, joys, triumphs, and everything in between. Kishshana is a thought leader, author, podcaster, and so much more. She is the CEO of Kishshana & Co, For me, I don't know if I have ever been in a healthy relationship, and I not saying everyone I have met has been unhealthy (it was me), but at this stage of my life, I want to be. Thus, Kishshana and I spend time talking about what needs to be learned to be a supportive partner and what it means to allow a supportive partner into your life. (Either you have a supportive partner or you have no partner at all). We discuss love languages, safety, toxicity, how to show up for yourself and your partner, intimacy, and what men need to do to create the relationship they want to have now and in the future. This conversation is full of laughter and joy between two folx who are open about their dating lives and experiences. Relationships are a wonderful aspect of life and can move you into in space that allows you to revolutionize yourself, however, it takes time and effort to crash into someone who is going to uplift your life.

Nonprofits tend to be trapped in complacency and married to the status quo.  But what does it mean to lead in a time when the only constant is change?

As a nonprofit leader, what do you do when you are expected to do it all? Some days it can feel as though there are so many things to get done and areas to address that we don't know where to start. Kishshana Palmer joins Greg to discuss strategies for managing overwhelm in times of crisis.

We sat down last week for a leadership conversation with Kishshana Palmer, CFRE, CEO of Kishshana & Co., Founder of The Rooted Collaborative, and Author of Hey, I'm New Here. We scheduled this conversation months ago, and initially our plan was to talk broadly about leadership trends, insights & learnings across the nonprofit sector. But...then George Floyd was murdered here in Minneapolis. Cities across the state -- across the nation -- erupted in protest against police brutality and racism. As any good leaders would do, we assessed our situation and changed our objectives to address the critically important issues of equity and inclusion in the nonprofit sector.This conversation is a bit more off the cuff, and maybe not as polished as our other episodes. It's a bit raw. A bit more unvarnished. But such a necessary discussion. I hope you'll give us just a bit of grace if the conversation is a little more meandering than you might be used to. I encourage you to listen all the way through, as we cover a ton of important ground.I'm so grateful to Kishshana for walking through this conversation with us, shooting straight with us, and not holding back. Special Opportunity From Our Episode Sponsor, Velocity Strategy Solutions:

In the midst of a pandemic, there has never been a better time to think about starting that side-hustle or that full-hustle. Join me, Kishshana and Brooke to talk about making the leap from nonprofit executives to small business owners.

In this podcast, we share our hard-won wisdom about starting our own ventures. Some takeaways: 1) Build a community of accountability partners and friends who can support you. 2) Never stop learning. 3) But don't let procrasti-learning keep you from taking action. 4) If you're lazy about stuff you don't want to do, hire others to do it so you can focus on your Zone of Genius.

Shape shifting, code switching, back-bending, and coloring our identities to meet the demands of these spaces. The beauty of that image is only captured because of the kaleidoscope - pivoting to the will of its audience.

Nonprofits are no stranger to bringing the best possible outcomes out of bad situations—often with nothing but a wish and duck tape.COVID-19 is next-level stuff, though.

We had such a compelling conversation with Kishshana during our first-ever What's Next? episode that we invited her back. This time, she and Randy focus on diversity in the workplace and how to recruit talent that sticks around.

This week, I speak with Kishshana Palmer, a brilliant trainer, speaker, and thought leader when it comes to management and leadership in the nonprofit sector. I have spent 2 decades working in the nonprofit and social impact sectors, and I’m in love with these people. You work hard, you are smart, dedicated, and incredibly resourceful. And it drives me up the wall that the people in this sector are so often underpaid, and instead of being treated like the resourceful humans they are, they often are treated like machines who are expected to churn out social impact non stop. Kishshana and I delved into this dynamic at length, and talked about what gets in the way of us celebrating and cultivating the excellence that is right here in this sector. Kishshana is a captivating speaker. She is funny, wise, and bold in her declarations of where she thinks this sector needs to be heading. Towards the end of my conversation with Kishshana, we talked about how in the nonprofit space, we often see our colleagues as more than colleagues, but like family. We talked about the strengths and pitfalls that come with that. And the week after this episode comes out, I’ll share an email that unpacks that idea more, and offers resources on things you can do to build on that as a strength, while avoiding some of the considerable downsides.

In this episode of the What’s Next? podcast, Randy and Kishshana address the dire need for organizations big and small to stay ahead of the technology curve. They discuss leadership transitions, root-cause initiatives and what the nonprofit sector looks like to them in the years to come.

We are excited to share the story of Kishshana Palmer. A Cool Soror of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Kishshana is a New York native raised by hard-working Jamaican parents. She learned early the power of hard work, but more importantly, she learned the power of service which would be the catalyst for her life. In her own words, she said, “It all started for me in junior high school. I volunteered at a tutoring center and I wanted to raise money for more books and supplies for the elementary school kids I tutored. I got all my friends together and we raised a ton of money to help younger kids in OUR neighborhood. How’d I do it? Well by 13, my mom had drilled it into my brain that helping people was a gift. So I was fearless and wouldn’t take no for an answer. I told my friends that despite being from the ‘hood, we were able to get a good education because we were smart and we had books! Other kids needed that too. Helping people and getting others to do the same stuck with me all the way through college. I even received a service scholarship!” With this same spirit, Kishshana now leads her own company, Kishshana & Co. where she serves as the founder and CEO. She takes tremendous pride in helping non-profit organizations get funding and helps to develop board of directors through highly efficient best practices.Her latest project is “Love Letter To My Sorors” which is a platform for women in all Black Greek Lettered Organizations to express their love for their sorors or sister greeks in their own words. Kishshana has such a vibrant and loving spirit. Her zest for life is truly admirable. She takes it one day at a time: helping one person at a time. We absolutely love her for it.

Randy sat down with Kishshana Palmer, nonprofit consultant extraordinaire out of New York to discuss what you should consider before starting a nonprofit. From the alternative options available to you, to determining your why and your what, Randy and Kishshana dug deep to help people solve problems in their community, whether it’s via a nonprofit organization or for-profit entity.

Kishshana Palmer is not your average not-for-profit consultant. A vivacious and lively entrepreneur, she’s a consultant who will both give you a hug and a kick in the pants. Kishshana’s built a business on being unique - which she says is both a blessing and a curse. “There have to be different shades to how you show up in the world,” she told Elizabeth. “The balance that I needed to strike was to be my most authentic self, while still helping folks to feel comfortable.” Kishshana’s bubbly attitude has led her down a successful career path as brand builder, coach, fundraiser, and self-confessed “solver” of things. It’s a career that she says has been plagued with both joy and failure - a crucial life lesson she’s hoping to impart to her daughter. Listen along as Kishshana shares insights on powering through the tough times and knowing when to take risks. Xero Gravity #79 - it’s a kick in the pants!
