Strong Leaders Serve with Teri Schmidt
The leadership podcast for people who are in leadership not for the status and power, but instead to use that status and power to turn potential into performance for positive change.
Hosted by Teri Schmidt, Executive Leadership Coach & CEO of Strong Leaders Serve.
Each episode we focus on supporting leaders who are dealing with the overwhelming realities of transitioning into and operating in roles where their success isn't just about their own performance anymore, but about leading through complexity, ambiguity, and stakes their old playbook never had to handle. We focus on naming what's actually happening underneath the overwhelm, and finding a way back to clarity without pretending there's a five-step fix.

145. Getting Past "Us vs. Them" in Our Quest for Justice with Dr. Amanda Aminata Kemp
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When working to make our workplaces more compassionate and just, it's easy to give into the temptation to utilize the "us vs. them" paradigm. "Othering" those who disagree with us can bring a sense of clarity and belonging.
But, our guest for this episode, Dr. Amanda Aminata Kemp, emphasizes the need to move away from divisive thinking and instead focus on regenerative justice.
As we continue our series focusing on female changemakers, this conversation with Dr. Kemp provides insight and wisdom for how leaders can break free from the limitations imposed by the 'us vs. them' paradigm to create lasting change.
