Living Strong: The Flip Side of Adversity

In this inspiring episode of The Flip Side of Adversity – Leadership Edition, Dr. Veirdre Jackson sits down with nationally recognized nonprofit leader Marissa Christie, President & CEO of United Way of Bucks County, for a timely conversation titled:   “The Flip Side of Leadership: Courage Before Confidence”   When Marissa stepped into the CEO role in 2016, the organization was facing financial instability, rapid leadership turnover, and declining community relevance. At the same time, she was preparing to give birth to her second child and raising a toddler at home. Instead of waiting until she felt fully ready, she chose courage—and committed to becoming the leader the moment required.   Today, under her leadership, United Way of Bucks County has grown revenue by more than 160%, expanded services to thousands of families, and launched an innovative community hub model designed to increase access, dignity, and impact.   This episode explores what it means to lead through uncertainty, challenge outdated systems, and make bold decisions before confidence arrives.   For leaders navigating pressure, change, and self-doubt—this conversation is your reminder that confidence often follows courage.

In this powerful episode of The Flip Side of Adversity – 2026 Leadership Edition, Dr. Veirdre Jackson sits down with Deputy Secretary Shante’ A. Brown, a trailblazing leader and the first African American to serve in this role for Pennsylvania’s Office of Child Development and Early Learning.   With over a decade of experience—from PreK teacher to Director of PHLpreK to statewide leadership—Shante’ has dedicated her career to strengthening systems for children, families, and communities. But this conversation goes beyond credentials.   Shante’ opens up about the personal and professional journey that shaped her leadership—including a life-altering moment that forced her to pause, reflect, and redefine what strength truly looks like. Together, we explore the hidden cost of “pushing through,” the reality of leadership burnout, and why sustainable leadership requires support, alignment, and self-awareness.   This episode is for leaders who are tired of surviving and ready to thrive.   Because real leadership isn’t about carrying it all—it’s about learning how not to carry it alone.

Most organizations have 20% of the people do 80% of the effective work. I lead a church and that rule held true for us as it does with most churches. As a frustrated pastor, a creative, and a critical thinker I began to ask the questions why more people don’t get involved and serve. Two major reasons… we don’t offer enough options with time and different types of opportunities. We created a week of serving opportunities where people could pick their passion and the time that fit their schedule and we regularly now see 80% now involved.

In this episode, we sit down with State Representative Morgan Cephas, Chair of the Philadelphia Delegation, to discuss her journey into public service and how she is working hard for Philadelphia in Harrisburg.

With a background spanning corporate leadership at Vanguard to direct community work with families and organizations, Denise has built a model rooted in trust, empathy, and real-world impact.   Through her work with FORCE programming—including business analysis, cohorts, training, and skill-building clinics—Denise equips leaders and entrepreneurs with practical tools to assess where they are, build sustainable systems, and grow with intention.   This conversation is for leaders who are tired of pouring from an empty cup. You’ll gain insight into how to lead boldly, build resilient communities, and create environments where both people and purpose can thrive.

In this powerful episode of The Flip Side of Adversity, Dr. Veirdre Jackson is joined by Shakira W. Smith, Chief Operating Officer, veteran educator, and school leader with over 20 years of experience, for a timely conversation titled:   “Calm Leadership in Uncertain Times.”   During one of the most disruptive periods in modern education—marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and social unrest—Shakira chose calm over chaos and consistency over fear. She shares what it truly looked like to lead through school closures, rapid transitions to remote learning, staff burnout, student well-being concerns, and constant uncertainty—while facing criticism, limited answers, and personal pressure.   This episode explores how calm leadership is not passive—it is intentional. It is the ability to remain anchored, make difficult decisions, maintain trust, and lead with empathy even when the path forward is unclear.   Whether you lead in education, business, nonprofit, or community spaces, this conversation offers real insight into sustaining morale, navigating adversity, and transforming crisis into growth through values-driven leadership.   Calm isn’t weakness. It’s strategy.

In this powerful episode of The Flip Side of Adversity, Dr. Veirdre Jackson sits down with Global Trainer and Leadership Coach Katina Christmas Robertson for a timely conversation titled:   “From Maintenance to Momentum: The Leadership Flip That Restored My Clarity and Capacity.”   In a season marked by downsizing, quiet quitting, and doing more with fewer resources, many leaders have quietly shifted into maintenance mode—filling gaps, covering roles, and holding everything together while losing clarity and momentum.   With over 20 years of corporate leadership experience and certifications in DiSC®, CliftonStrengths®, Emotional Intelligence, and Imposter Syndrome, Katina shares the personal and professional turning point that helped her move from overwhelm and resentment back to alignment and purpose. Through her signature SOAR framework, she offers practical strategies for systematizing work, delegating intentionally, and reclaiming strategic leadership.   If you’re feeling stretched thin, overlooked, or stuck in urgency, this episode will help you identify the leadership flip that restores capacity, balance, and impact.   Stop maintaining.

Together, they explore the shift from trauma-informed to healing-centered leadership and why culture is not “soft work,” but strategic work—especially in uncertain times.   Leaders and teams don’t show up as robots. They bring stories, strengths, stressors, and lived experiences that directly impact performance and retention. This episode equips leaders with practical tools to operationalize care, maintain high expectations, and build affirming team cultures that drive measurable results.   If you’re a leader seeking stronger culture, improved retention, and sustainable impact—this conversation is for you.   Belonging isn’t optional. It’s essential.

In this powerful episode of The Flip Side of Adversity, Ayana Fernandes Pilgrim and I explore “A Great Quaking”—a deep, internal shaking beneath work, identity, and purpose that many are experiencing right now, particularly Black women. Our guest shares how this quaking unfolded through layered loss: grieving loved ones, leaving a DEI role she once loved, and ending a 27-year marriage—an intimate Gethsemane moment where surrender became unavoidable and what once sustained her could no longer hold her.   But the flip side of the quaking wasn’t collapse—it was clarity. Through acceptance, release, and radical imagination, she let go of old identities and limiting beliefs around people-pleasing, perfectionism, respectability, and urgency. In their place, she built a new blueprint rooted in faith, values, and truth—launching a new business and living with deeper integrity and purpose.   This conversation invites listeners to renew their minds, strengthen self-leadership, and become willing to birth a new version of themselves in this season of shifting.
