Podcast Overview

Power in Diversity Podcast is a space where professional women from diverse backgrounds, eager to grow as leaders, come to be inspired and gain wisdom from other leaders. As my guests share their journey, I hope that it will give you; an aspiring or established female leader; meaning to your journey, illuminating your path and equipping you with a greater understanding of how to carve and navigate your success pathway with greater ease.  Power in Diversity Podcast is also designed to equip not only individuals but, crucially, organisations who must learn to create diverse and inclusive organisations practically and not merely as a tick box exercise; especially now in this ever-changing world, everyone’s diverse insight is vital to solving world issues. I hope that this podcast allows organisations to appreciate the real barriers female and ethnic minority groups face in stepping into leadership, barriers sadly I and many others have faced, and many continue to face.  I’m proud to be British and proud of my African Heritage, my tribe, part of the Benin Empire. I feel blessed to be a woman. This is a non-judgmental space, but a space to learn and to become aware of the gifts and Power in Diversity. ABOUT YOUR HOST Dr Omo Akoje Okonkwo is a practising Cosmetic Dental Surgeon working in Private Clinics in Surrey. Her passion for empowering her patients and team led her to Transformational coaching to bring about significant change in others.  Her many skill sets and ability to motivate people quickly opened leadership roles for her, including Director of Health care Projects and Clinical Lead and Senior Tutor at the prestigious King College Dental Hospital. Along her journey, she faced numerous setbacks despite her passion, academic background and experience.  Notwithstanding, her passion for excellence and growth led her to embark on an MBA at the Renowned Warwick Business School. Her desire to empower women steered her to conduct qualitative research exploring Gender, Leadership, and Identity. Her findings revealed what she had always sensed, the leadership labyrinth for female and ethnic minority leaders that exists. It is now Dr Omo’s mission to educate and equip individuals, organisations, and countries on the necessity, mindset, and steps to create inclusion at all levels of society.

Embracing different expressions brings varied perspectives, talents, and ideas, boosting outcomes. Moving Past Bias Training - Unconscious bias training is a start, not the finish. It raises awareness, but concrete steps are crucial for inclusive cultures and systems. Creating Inclusive - Culture Inclusive culture needs strong leadership, investment, and time. Leaders must value diversity, invest resources, and set realistic expectations. Inclusion in Small Entities - Even small units can practice diversity and inclusion. Safe spaces for sharing and industry guidance can foster inclusivity. Unleashing Potential - Diversity aims to unleash unique potential, creativity, and impact. It envisions a world where all contributions make a positive difference. BEST MOMENTS "Diversity is all of the different ways in which humanity exists." "Inclusion is about making sure that the differences that used to matter before don't matter anymore." "When you put the payout from the investment in unleashing the talent of all types of humanity, it's certainly worth the effort." "Unconscious bias training is a starting point, it raises your awareness of implicit bias. What do you do with it?" "All of us have something to bring. Let us just make it okay for everybody to bring what they have to bring."

EPS12 Energy and Environment with Dr Omo

On returning from a 5-day conference Dr Omo would like to share with you what she has learned listening to peak performance coach Tony Robbins, top Life and Business Strategist, and supporting many people to overcome their reticence in facing their challenges and fears by, literally, walking through fire. Find out what Dr Omo learned from helping others through this cathartic breakthrough. KEY TAKEAWAYS As a conference volunteer, Dr Omo was responsible for helping 8000 people who are deciding to walk across hot coal as a symbolic leap to conquer fear and overwhelm. As we grow older the responsibility and stakes grow so the possibility of failure holds more weight. When you want to achieve something the best way to build your momentum is to surround yourself with people who are going to champion you. We often carry false beliefs about our capabilities, even during the performance of tasks that we believe ourselves to be incapable of. Do not be afraid to ask advice from those individuals whose leadership you look up to and would like to emulate. Be clear on your target goal and do not think you have to achieve it ruthlessly. BEST MOMENTS‘His name is Tony Robbins. He’s a peak performance coach and I’ve started listening to him and working with him since 2015 and my life has truly been changed. I really believe that he came into my life at the right time.’ ‘God surrounds you with the people around you to make it happen.’ ‘As the participants were coming to the point where they had to walk on the fire, what really, really helped them was when we were all chanting with them. We were like; ‘Yes, yes, yes!’’‘I was volunteering and registering about 800 people and saying hello to people with ease. Despite the fact that I was welcoming people, greeting people at the door so easily, I taught myself that I was shy.’‘Taking charge of you moving into your next leadership position is your responsibility.’ CONTACT METHOD IG: https://www.instagram.com/dr.omo_uk/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-omo-okonkwo-65b8a542/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/omo.okonkwo PODCAST DESCRIPTIONPower in Diversity Podcast is a space where professional women from diverse backgrounds, eager to grow as leaders, come to be inspired and gain wisdom from other leaders.

EPS11 Finding You with Titilayo Ameh

This episodes guest is the exciting and inspiring Titilayo Ameh, a registered Psychotherapist (MBACP) and Counsellor, a mental health and well-being workshop leader, an advocate for vulnerable youth, a successful podcast host, and a facilitator of hundreds of clients to eliminate stress and create balanced lifestyles so they can live engaged with their loved ones while pursuing their passions and purpose with joy. Listen in to this conversation covering biofeedback therapy, misalignment and imbalances, equality, masculine and feminine energy, and Titilayo’s plans for the future. KEY TAKEAWAYS Titilayo specialises in coaching areas of personal development, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, addiction, trauma and inner-child healing. Having gained insight into many different cultures during her 18 years experience in international counselling, Titilayo can apply all she has learned to her diverse clients. Biofeedback machines access a unique energy blueprint and analyse you to find your stresses. The yin-yang, female/male energy needs to be in balance as too much masculine energy creates burnout, and too much feminine energy creates depression. Strong, clear boundaries assertively communicated save you from the stress of triggers. BEST MOMENTS ‘I understand what it’s like to feel so lost and just the hope of knowing I can do something that I love, so I got into counselling.’ ‘In this program, we’re helping people cleanse their toxins, physical and emotional. We’ll be balancing their bodies and we’re really helping them pursue their passions in alignment.’ ‘Giving a voice to what it can be like for a brown woman and the inner turmoil that you go through that you can’t really explain to those around you.’ ‘There are days of rest where I’m just nurturing, self-caring and making sure I’m looking after myself.’ ‘You have the right to feel safe and comfortable.’ EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.titilayoamehill.com/ ABOUT THE GUEST Titilayo is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
