Podcast appearances and mentions of zawadi bryant

Women of Color Rise supports more diverse leaders at the table, especially women and people of color. We'll be talking with CEOs and C-suite women leaders of color and learning about their leadership journeys. Have you taken deliberate steps to heal from trauma?   For this Women of Color Rise episode, Analiza talks with African American leader Zawadi Bryant, President, Acute Care Pediatrics for Pediatrix Medical Group. Zawadi co-founded and was CEO of Nightlight Pediatric Urgent Care for fourteen years before the company was acquired by Pediatrix Medical Group in March 2021.    Zawadi shares how she deliberately took steps to heal from her childhood. We might think, “We turned out ok.” But it's important to take deliberate steps to heal trauma.   How?   Trauma is generational and bondage. We need to deliberately seek help and learn new tools.   Our parents did the best they could. It's important to reconcile these relationships and not harbor hatred. There are some upsides to what we learned as a child. For example, Zawadi learned grit, determination, and the power of community..   We have the power to create new realities different from what we experienced as a child - new views on parenting, discipline, relationship with partner.    We also have the power to create boundaries to be with the people we care about. For example, Zawadi created boundaries around giving her father money.   To heal, we also need to create affirmations of self-love and safety.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://analizawolf.com/ep-38-steps-to-heal-from-trauma-with-zawadi-bryant-1

After building a successful career in engineering and manufacturing, Zawadi Bryant was surprised when her friend, Dr. Anastasia Gentles, approached her about starting an after-hours, pediatric urgent care center — where Zawadi would be the Chief Executive Officer. Today on the Growing with Purpose podcast, host Paul Spiegelman talks with Zawadi Bryant, CEO of NightLight Pediatric Urgent Care. In 2007, Zawadi left the engineering world to tackle a new challenge: high-quality, convenient pediatric care for when other pediatric offices are closed. As Zawadi stepped into her new role as a leader, she became a student of her own experiences. She looked to her past bosses and managers to learn about effective leadership, bringing it all together to create her own identity as a leader.  Eleven years later, NightLight Pediatric is thriving. The company has 115 employees, $10 million in revenue annually, and has multiple locations across the greater Houston area. Named one of Forbes' Small Giants: Best Small Companies in America in 2017, NightLight Pediatric differentiates itself in the competitive healthcare space by valuing their team and putting people at the center of the business. Their focus on culture and values is driving their financial results, making their team the leading indicator of their success. In this episode, hear how Zawadi and her team have effectively executed a people-first culture despite the challenges of the industry, and learn how they're scaling their award-winning culture, even as they expand to multiple locations and grow the business.
