32: Inclusiveness, Identity and the Power of Small Business with Nikki Innocent

32: Inclusiveness, Identity and the Power of Small Business with Nikki Innocent

In this episode, I am joined by Nikki Innocent for a discussion about inclusiveness, identity, and the power of small business. Nikki is a speaker, certified women’s leadership coach, diversity, equity & inclusion strategist, podcast host and social entrepreneur focused on belonging and transforming the future of leadership.

I loved talking with Nikki so much, and I had more than a couple “a ha” moments in this conversation, which you’ll hear in the interview.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • The concept of feeling “other” and how Nikki has embraced it

  • Why it’s important to get clear on your own identity and how it shapes your experience in life

  • Nikki defines important concepts like diversity, inclusion, equity, intersectionality, and dominant/non-dominant groups

  • How to approach big topics like racial injustice as a small business

  • The power of speaking someone’s name (creating opportunities for them) who may not have the opportunity to be in the room that you’re in

  • The power of intentional spending

  • Nikki’s vision of a more inclusive world where we can thrive by being ourselves 

I know you’re going to learn SO MUCH from Nikki. I know I did.
