A Masterclass in Receiving Appreciation | Stacy Louise Christopher | Ep 975

"It's almost like there's a mirror in front of me, and the mirror was cracked or dirty or smudged. And then you just came in and you're like, hey Niiamah, you do know you're looking at a dirty mirror, right? Let me just clean that off."Join Niiamah Ashong and guest Stacy Louise Christopher in this throwback conversation as she walks him through ten acknowledgments live on camera, naming every dodge as it happens. Most exceptional leaders are catastrophic at receiving acknowledgment; they deflect, minimize, joke past it. This is 48 minutes of Niiamah being walked through it slowly, naming every dodge as it happens. By the end of it he walksaway with: - A cleaner mirror - Permission to own his actual lever - Proof that his way is working - A felt experience of being seen, not saved - A blueprint for receiving as fuel, not threat - A return to center - The Dolly Parton line as a north starWelcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.
