We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Damara Mckoy. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Damara below.
Hi Damara , thanks for joining us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
My vision for my business is for people to understand different approaches to combat their mental health. My system is helping with their problems in real time.
The consulting part of my business helps companies support their employee’s wellness. I create learning modules based on the environment of the workplace. Employees have mastered their skills, but they often need more soft skills that can positively impact their emotional intelligence so they can perform their job duties effectively.
Damara , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
We offer emotional intelligence and wellness training for organizations that require high-demanding employee responsibilities.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
I’ve been pivoting my whole life. Honestly, I started my business from the pain I was experiencing, which developed into womanhood and during a stage of my life where my life shifted. Initially, I wanted to teach emotional intelligence, but I saw a bigger vision for my business. Once the doors started to open, I knew I was heading in the right direction.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
A lesson I had to unlearn was that people aren’t going to always show up for you, so you have to learn how to celebrate your accomplishments first! Dont wait for family and friends to celebrate you. Learn how to dance in the rain! Your lack of awareness will distract you from your next chapter!
