In this conversation, Kishshana is joined by a long-time friend and inspiration, Ify Walker. Get your pen and notepad and take some notes! There are some gems shared by Ify that take authenticity to a whole new level.
Ify Walker is the Founder & CEO of Offor* - the national talent brokerage (https://www.offor.co (www.offor.co)). Clients come to Ify for her trademark no-nonsense counsel on building high-performing teams; debunking the meritocracy myth; abolishing performance reviews, and exploring how to ensure that the future of work is a virtual 25-hour workweek.
Her work has been featured in the Stanford Social Innovation Review, Fast Company, and PBS News Hour.
Ify is an attorney by training and a proud product of Nigerian parents, the original dairy state, and Head Start. She is a mother of two, a sister to five, and wife to the best decision she's ever made. When she's not questioning everything, you can find her running Mom's School of Excellence.
