KORE and Cross-Generational Mentorship with Summer Watson

What does it take to rise above challenges and create a life of impact?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Summer Watson from Washington, DC to discuss overcoming obstacles, finding purpose, and taking bold steps toward success. Summer introduces us to KORE, which stands for how we Kinetically connect, Organically learn from one another, Reshape lives through diverse interaction, and Empower one another to promote change. We explore cross-generational mentorship as well as the mindset shifts and key decisions that shape a fulfilling path.

Embracing Differences and Finding Connection

Summer and I reflect on the impact of feeling different and how shared experiences can lead to meaningful connections. We acknowledge that everyone’s story shapes who they are, but there’s power in embracing those differences and finding common ground with others. Summer shares how, even in moments of isolation or misunderstanding, these formative experiences sparked a deeper understanding of self and others. This insight reinforces the idea that uniqueness should be celebrated because it’s through our individual stories that we truly connect. Summer discusses the power of understanding others' experiences through a phenomenological lens. By listening reflectively and asking clarifying questions, leaders can connect with diverse perspectives. This approach fosters respect and collaboration, allowing leaders to assess needs and desires before creating impactful solutions.
