If you need a little pick-me-up, a boost of hope, or just want to be inspired about how you can move through life a little differently for the better, I invite you to join us in this intimate conversation about what it means to disarm and align yourself and why it is so important. This episode features the fabulous Nicci Roach! She is the Host of “Conversations in the Nic of Time” Radio Show out of St. Lewis and a long-time Leadership and DEI Educator, as well as an experienced Higher Education Administrator. She is one of those beautiful curious spirits that you just want to spend time with so you can learn from and share her view of life. In this episode, Nicci shares her thoughts on how “Take Your Shoes Off First” motivated her to reimagine how she teaches DEI programs and how it is a formula for becoming a better leader no matter where you are starting from. (Of course I agree, whole-heartedly!) As we build on the lessons of the book, our conversation winds through the following topics: - Why celebrating shallow victories can lead to stagnation.- How peace lies on the other side of an alignment journey.- Overcoming the guilt of low productivity during tough times.- Why disarming yourself is critical to seeing progress.- The importance of stillness.In 2015, she married the love her life in Lambert Airport…yup, you read that right! The airport symbolized key moments of transition for the couple and so seemed fitting for another milestone transition. Unfortunately, Nicci lost her husband to cancer just a few short years later. In our first conversation on her radio program, we bonded over how these kind of experiences transform how you move through life. Although we don't talk about it in this episode, this is a glimpse into her life and why she shows up with such presence and grace in everything she does. Although passionate about DEI work, she is also a strong advocate for women's empowerment and a current PhD candidate focused on women's leadership. In the episode, you will see how her many facets come together to create soulful commentary and humorous interactions.
