Slay: Perform a Community Audit

Taking a look at the people you surround yourself with allows you to understand that “the ideas you hold onto are often a reflection of what you’ve been absorbing from the community at large.” Are folks in your community bringing you up or bringing you down? Do you feel supported? These sorts of reflections urge you to choose who and what you want to spend your time on; that way, you surround yourself with a solid foundation to be the best version of yourself.

Irene encompasses this beautifully when she says: “you have skills, stories, experiences, perspectives, and questions that can benefit those around you, unlock new possibilities and change the trajectory for so many people.” Your leadership is valuable.

Bold Questions: Exploring your Impact

When reflecting on the question, “what do you do?” it is easy to think about who you are serving, as opposed to who you are being in a specific space. In this episode, Irene urges you to reframe this question with respect to your impact on others. At times, this question can also seem very restricting, as though we are only what we do. So, as important as work is, you are always more than what you “do.” Work doesn’t define you, your impact on others, and how you decide to communicate this does.
