In this episode, Michael Neece sits down with Nikki Groom, CEO of Raised Voices, to explore the power of authentic leadership and personal branding for speakers. Nikki shares how showing up as your true self creates deeper connection and impact, and how slowing down to practice curious compassion can transform conflict into understanding. They discuss envisioning a future rooted in equity and empathy and the collective action required to get there. Nikki also reveals what inspires her daily and how she supports others in sharing their unique brilliance with the world.

This Episode's Kindness Challenge
ย ๐ง Slow down before you respond.
ย ๐ซถ When conflict or misunderstanding arises, pause and ask yourself:
ย โ โWhat am I not seeing or understanding yet?โ
ย ๐ฑ Practice curious compassion instead of reactive judgment.
ย ๐ Kindness grows when we make space for othersโ storiesโeven ones we disagree with.
ย This week, reach out to someone whose perspective differs from yours and ask them a sincere questionโthen just listen.
ย
Where to Find Inspiration to stay kind?
ย ๐ Read fiction set in unfamiliar times or places.
ย ๐ฅ Listen to othersโ stories, especially those different from your own.
