Essentials for Early Career Leaders w/ Alyssa Kropp

Thu, 19 Oct 2023 14:00:00 GMT

About Alyssa

Hi there, I'm Alyssa.

I know a lot of moms start by saying they're moms but really, that's my favorite title. So I'll start there.

I love people and have a passion for their stories and development. I don't get stressed by a lot. I truly believe everything is working in my favor and trust in God's greater plan for my life.

My professional background is 15+ years in sales, 10+ years in sales leadership. I've been on large teams like Viacom, small startups and everything in between.

In 2019, I started to toy with the idea of leadership coaching. I had always lead engaged, overperforming teams and wanted to replicate my secret sauce to other leaders. In 2022, I got the push to get my coaching certification and have been working with leaders ever since.

I mention my ability to stay calm in times if stress because I believe this is what distinguishes great leaders. The ability to stay clam, to reframe stressful events, to understand your reaction is all work I do with leaders in my 1:1 coaching. Knowing how important this is, I created a resource exclusively for the Toxic Leadership Audience which can be found here: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/64e667398ae79e9ed264b418

Exploring Socio-Economic Inequality with Mark Talley

Wed, 28 Sep 2022 14:00:00 GMT

Mark Talley is the son of Geraldine C. Talley, who was killed in the Tops shooting by a white supremacist on May 14th, 2022. Prior to this date, Mark just went along through the trials and tribulations of life believing there was nothing he could do, he was just powerless.

Afraid of what he would say or do, Mark just started volunteering everywhere he could on Jefferson Ave for the next several months to channel his emotion. After doing all this volunteering, Mark started feeling an urge to become more of a community leader / social advocate. This led to him forming his own nonprofit “Agents for Advocacy” and organizing his first charitable event on July 7th, 2022 “The Community BBQ and Prayer”. Mark in collaboration with others was able to serve over 700 hotdogs and hamburgers along with providing bags of fresh produce, gifts, appliances, and meats. On April 28th Agents for Advocacy organized a back-to-school drive in which over 500+ children were provided backpacks, calculators, pens/pencils, folders, and notebooks. Currently, Agents for Advocacy is raising funds to provide a Thanksgiving for the homeless.

Could Workplace Flexibility Be Your Competitive Advantage? with Dr. Erin Mires

Wed, 21 Sep 2022 14:00:00 GMT

According to McKinsey, The mass transition to remote work in March 2020 upended long-held norms surrounding where work can be done. However, true flexibility is much bigger than the freedom to work remotely, and many organizations still miss the mark.

The alternative is to risk losing people and failing to attract crucial talent. Among people who temporarily left the workforce, their top reason for returning was workplace flexibility (44 percent).

Hear the conversation with Dr. Erin Mires, an impactful leadership development expert, Air Force Veteran, a mother of 3 young children, and Founder & CEO of Evolve Coaching & Consulting. Dr. Mires empowers others to live their best lives by creating sustainable balance and global impact through coaching, consulting, workshops, and seminars.
