Inclusion and Room for All - Building Collaborative Communities

 

Can you tell our readers more about the acronym “Iconic” and how it is transforming mindsets?

The ICONIC mission is encapsulated in the acronym I-C-O-N-I-C, representing Inclusion and Room for All, Collaborations that Build Community, Opportunities for Me Become Opportunities for WE, New Rules for Growth, I Have to Be the One to Do It and Prove It, and Competing with the Mirror Image and the Vision I've Been Given. This acronym serves as a roadmap for fostering a mindset shift towards collective growth and global impact.

How does the commitment to inclusion set the stage for collective advancement?

Inclusion is the cornerstone of our mission. It's about creating spaces where everyone has a seat at the table. We believe that true growth comes when individual success is leveraged for the benefit of all. By fostering an environment of inclusivity, we embrace diverse perspectives, experiences, and talents, recognizing that our strength lies in unity.

Can you share more about how meaningful collaborations build communities and drive positive change?

Absolutely. Collaboration is not just a buzzword for us; it's a guiding principle. Meaningful collaborations transcend individual interests and contribute to building communities that thrive together. Whether in business, creativity, or social impact, these partnerships become catalysts for positive change. We believe that by working together, we can achieve more than we ever could alone.

How does the ICONIC philosophy encourage individuals to share their success for collective prosperity?

The ICONIC philosophy challenges the idea that success is a solo journey. We believe that personal success should pave the way for collective prosperity. Opportunities, when shared, create a ripple effect that goes beyond the individual and positively impacts the entire community. This mindset shift encourages individuals to consider how their achievements can be leveraged to uplift others, fostering a culture where success is measured by its communal impact.

How does ICONIC redefine the rules, emphasizing innovation, diversity, and collaboration as essential components of progress?

ICONIC pioneers a new set of rules for growth by challenging traditional norms. We emphasize the importance of embracing innovation, diversity, and collaboration as essential components of progress. The old adage "it will always start with I" is redefined to emphasize that individual actions can catalyze collective transformation. By rewriting the rules, ICONIC sets the stage for a more inclusive, innovative, and impactful future.  

How does the ICONIC mission encourage individuals to be proactive in driving positive change and leading by example?

Taking ownership is crucial in our mission. We encourage individuals not just to do things but to prove the potential for impact. By being proactive in initiating positive change and leading by example, ICONIC leaders demonstrate the transformative power of taking responsibility for driving change in both personal and collective spheres.

How does ICONIC redefine competition, focusing on personal growth rather than external rivalry?

In a world filled with external competition, ICONIC proposes a unique perspective. We believe that the real competition lies within. It's about challenging oneself to exceed personal expectations, competing not with others but with the mirror image reflecting one's potential. The vision one holds becomes the driving force, propelling individuals towards unparalleled growth and impact.

The ICONIC mission is about creating tables with seats for everyone, fostering collaborative communities, and turning personal opportunities into collective prosperity.

By acknowledging and celebrating the achievements of individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures, International Icon Inc. contributes to the overarching mission of fostering inclusivity and unity. It serves as a testament to the fact that impactful leadership knows no boundaries and can emerge from any corner of the world.

Can you elaborate on why it's essential for individuals to showcase their accomplishments and share their stories with a wider audience?

Showcasing your work is a powerful way to inspire and connect with others. When individuals share their accomplishments, they not only celebrate personal success but also provide a source of inspiration for those who may be facing similar challenges. Additionally, it creates a sense of community and belonging, as others can relate to and learn from these experiences. By showcasing our work, we contribute to a narrative of collective growth and resilience.

How does celebrating accomplishments, whether big or small, contribute to the overall ethos of the ICONIC mission, and why is it an integral part of fostering a collaborative community?

Celebrating accomplishments is integral to the ICONIC ethos because it reinforces the idea that success is not only about reaching the destination but also about acknowledging the journey. It creates a culture of appreciation and recognition within the community. When individuals celebrate their accomplishments, they inspire others to do the same, fostering a positive and supportive environment where everyone's achievements are valued. It's a key element in building a collaborative community where success is a shared experience.

How can individuals proactively contribute to the mission and amplify their impact within their own communities?

Individuals can contribute to the ICONIC Impact by actively embracing the principles of the ICONIC mission in their daily lives. This includes fostering inclusivity, seeking meaningful collaborations, and sharing their successes with the world. By embodying the ICONIC mindset and leading by example, individuals become agents of change within their communities, creating a ripple effect that resonates with the broader ICONIC Impact vision of positive change.

Meet the Iconic Ciara Stevenson

Crafting Impactful Stories: Coaching in the World of Publishing

What does Iconic mean to you?

Iconic means to be groundbreaking.

What are the key elements you emphasize to your clients when starting their journey in magazine or book publishing?

Key elements are to be clear about who your target audience is. There is no need to create a magazine or book if you are not sure who you want to read it. Just be clear.

How do you tailor your coaching to address the unique challenges and goals of each individual you work with?

I tailor my coaching by doing an intake quiz to make sure we are a good fit. If there are things I can’t work with you on, I can refer you to other people. If we are compatible, then I let you know my expectations, and what I can help you with. I’m pretty straightforward. I provide homework and weekly expectations.

Could you share a success story coaching an aspiring publisher or author?

Currently, I have a student who launched her own magazine. She is doing great. She came to me for a regular feature and ended up becoming my student. We are still collaborating today because she has now been featured as a cover girl. It’s rewarding.

What are the most important skills or qualities that a successful magazine creator or author should possess?

Discipline, tenacity, and creativity!

"Discipline, tenacity, and creativity!"

How do you balance your time between managing your own magazines, coaching, and your personal life as a wife and mother?

Balance is not real. I use time blocking to help me. I have a career, as well as a family, and businesses. It can get hard. I decided to hire help. That has really helped me out! I’m finding balance if that is a real thing. 

What are some common misconceptions about launching a magazine, or writing a book, that you often address in your coaching sessions?

A common misconception is that a magazine will flop. That is only true if you don’t market your magazine, or if you don’t know who your buyer is. Another common misconception is that people don’t read magazines anymore. They do read them! 

How do you keep yourself and your clients motivated during the challenging phases of publishing?

I do check-ins and previews. It helps us to be on the same page to finalize editing and prepare for launching.

What are your goals for the future in terms of coaching and helping others in their creative endeavors?

For the future, I hope to have coached more women in their magazine creation journeys, and to keep inspiring creative beings!
