This conversation takes place on a Zoom call for the Rooted Collaborative Retreat for successful women in leadership and business. In this conversation, Kishshana is joined by a long-time friend and inspiration, Ify Walker. Get your pen and notepad and take some notes! There are some gems shared by Ify that take authenticity to a whole new level.

Ify Walker is the Founder & CEO of Offor* - the national talent brokerage (www.offor.co). Clients come to Ify for her trademark no-nonsense counsel on building high-performing teams; debunking the meritocracy myth; abolishing performance reviews, and exploring how to ensure that the future of work is a virtual 25-hour workweek.

Her work has been featured in the Stanford Social Innovation Review, Fast Company, and PBS News Hour.

Ify is an attorney by training and a proud product of Nigerian parents, the original dairy state, and Head Start. She is a mother of two, a sister to five, and wife to the best decision she's ever made. When she's not questioning everything, you can find her running Mom's School of Excellence.

Follow her on Twitter: @ifywalker or on LinkedIn: #DearBlackWomen

She also writes on her blog, Pass the Baton (passthebatonbook.com/blog)

Fab Crew, make sure you stay tuned in until the very end for a new added segment, "Kish Tips".
