“Tell the truth. Let the chips fall, but tell the truth.” – Daniel Roth

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Daniel Roth for a live coaching conversation.

His challenge: he arrived with nothing to fix, only a wish to be busier doing the work he loves.

You’ll walk away with:
– Why your credentials are the set, not the story, and what actually makes people care
– The difference between owning your intention and chasing your result
– What it takes to like who you’ve become and keep creating anyway

“If I’m not in a coaching conversation, I’m not creating clients.” – Niiamah

“If I’m not in a coaching conversation, I’m not creating clients.” – Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Barb Nangle, for a live coaching conversation.

Her challenge: her podcast audience keeps growing, but fewer listeners are booking calls, and she wants a new client every week.

You’ll walk away with:

• Why the strategy that feels contrived to you never gets done, no matter how good it looks on paper
• How to find the channel already creating your clients and go deeper instead of wider
• Why your best clients may already be gathering in groups, waiting for an invitation

“If you’re as good as you think you are, you shouldn’t have to compromise anything to earn $1.” – Richard Blank

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Richard Blank for a live coaching conversation. His challenge: getting a new generation on his team to break through from 78% to 93%.

You’ll walk away with:

• Why growing your team means 10x the quality of your people and how long they stay, not 10x the headcount
• Why giving people their dignity keeps them longer than any metric
• The question that turns AI from a threat into time back for your team

“The role of us as leaders is to come up with a vision that’s large enough for someone else’s vision to come and live into.” – Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Dr. Stem, Sithembile Mahlatini, for a live coaching conversation.Her challenge: juggling so many visions at once that none of them gets the focus to reach a million.

You’ll walk away with:

• Why time management traps visionaries. Freed-up time just becomes more visions.
• Why recovery work is capped at okay, and extraordinary has no ceiling.
• How to find the one or two real visions hiding inside a hundred.

“I don’t believe in purpose being one thing. I believe in it being multiple things.” – Deborah Heiser

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Deborah Heiserfor a live coaching conversation. Debbie’s mentorship project had Nobel laureates and astronauts asking to mentor for free. Connection and impact are her native language. Money was the one question she hadn’t named.

This session is about the pivot that is really a return, the reward that moves world changers more than a fee, and the income impact-first leaders leave on the table.

What you’ll take away:
– A pivot is not leaving. It is moving your hours to what never left you.
– The person you help is not always the person who pays.
– Sell where the problem is already on the radar.

“What people really need is a safe space to unfold who they really are.” — Willow Green

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Willow Green, a death doula and two-time author who has spent two decades studying human behaviour and the aging process. Willow came in certain she could not explain her own work. She explained it perfectly, then heard it back for the first time.

The conversation opens up consent as the foundation of any real risk, immersion over observation, and what it costs a leader to hold space for everyone and never be held.

Three things to take with you:
– Your message is not unclear. It has never been received.
– Only someone who can say no has a yes worth anything.
– You cannot guide anyone through a door you have only read about.

“Build the prototype here, document those pieces so that it becomes replicable. That’s the whole point.” — Sheyenne

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Sheyenne Kreamer for a live coaching conversation. Sheyenne has built a three-entity system spanning career transition, heart-centered business, and multi-generational healing villages. She came into this session asking how to find five team leaders. She left with something far more useful.

This one is about the gap between the size of a vision and the size of the next move. And about what happens when a leader realizes the thing she has been asking for already happened yesterday.

What you’ll take away:

• The ask you bring is rarely the ask you need
• One working location beats ten possible ones
• Three funded people recruit the next six for you

“I’ve got to elevate myself so I’m in the mix of high level entrepreneurs.” Robert Szmigiel

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Robert Szmigiel for a live coaching conversation. Robert has run roughly 1,000 interviews across four continents and been interviewed about five times. This one is about what happens when the man who builds the room stops noticing he is standing in it.

What this session gets into: the difference between expanding and elevating, the bright spot you already proved and then parked, and why the network you built by accident is the one you keep going out to find.

Three things you leave with:

• More markets can be volume, not a next level
• The single move that changed his trajectory, unused for ten years
• What a thousand relationships are worth when nobody has asked
