In this episode of Clocking Out, we meet Sarah Dale — a woman who spent years excelling in the world of media and advertising, helping brands like The Wall Street Journal and Fortune grow and thrive. Raised in a driven, adventurous family in New Jersey, Sarah learned early on that anything was possible — a mindset that carried her through multiple career pivots.After building early career success and pursuing a new job opportunity, Sarah decided to take a much-needed break and traveled to Montana. There, she quickly fell in love with its adventurous spirit and wide-open way of life — so much so that she made the life-changing decision to leave everything behind and move there. During her years in Montana, she planted the first seeds of her dream: creating empowering outdoor experiences for women.After personal upheaval eventually pulled her back into the corporate world, it was her strong network — and the relationships she had carefully nurtured — that helped her rebuild her career. Yet even after a decade of professional success, Sarah realized that true fulfillment wasn't found at the top of the ladder. Inspired by the love for her children, she knew it was finally time to launch Project 1490, the mission that had lived in her heart for years.Today, through Project 1490, Sarah helps professional women rediscover their confidence and strength by learning outdoor skills like fly fishing, archery, and horseback riding — while building deep, authentic connections that fuel both their personal and professional lives.If you've ever dreamed of stepping off the traditional path and into something more authentic, Sarah's story will inspire you to trust your gut, build your tribe, take the leap, and create a life you truly love.Connect with Sarah at:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/project-1490Instagram: @project_1490Website: www.project1490.comFollow Raymond: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raymondmlee/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raymondlee.coTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@clockingoutpodX: http://twitter.com/hrentrepreneurYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@clockingoutwithraymondlee/videosBecome a guest on Clocking Out: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeSTQmww_Gvld1zfLzTmS16PDfZvltFna7Gh6iSYehL-maU

Stepping away from the corporate world into entrepreneurship isn't just about changing careers—it's about transforming your identity, mindset, and relationship with work. In this candid conversation with Deb Boulanger, CEO of Life After Corporate, we explore the often challenging but deeply rewarding journey that high-achieving women navigate when launching their own businesses.Deb shares her personal transition story, from teaching to corporate leadership to founding her own company, revealing that the entrepreneurial path proved more difficult than anticipated. She explains how the identity shift from having preset calendars and clear expectations to designing your own business requires mastering not just strategy, but your internal dialogue. We dig into the psychological barriers that hold women back—particularly around pricing and self-worth—uncovering the startling reality that women entrepreneurs earn just 30 cents to the dollar compared to their male counterparts.Financial considerations take center stage as Deb recommends having at least a year's cushion before making the leap, while noting that expenses typically decrease after leaving corporate life. For women caught between staying in corporate or launching a business, she emphasizes the importance of making a clear decision rather than vacillating, as "the universe can't deliver on a split desire."The conversation moves beyond the misleading image of entrepreneurship portrayed on social media to address practical matters like work-life "blend," the critical importance of networking, and how to approach business development. Deb's advice culminates in encouraging women to trust their intuition—what she calls "the niggle"—and to price based on the transformation they deliver rather than trying to be merely affordable.Whether you're contemplating leaving corporate, have recently been laid off, or are already building your business, this episode offers honest insights to help you navigate your journey with greater confidence and clarity.

Accountable Leadership is not for Everyone As the leader, you are responsible for everything! You are accountable for the decisions that you make, or don't make. You will be held accountable for the decisions your team makes, or doesn't make. Even more, you will be held accountable for the failures, while giving your team the credit for the wins. You are accountable for your hires. If they work out, great! If they don't...you are on the hook for them. You will be responsible for innovation and creativity as a leader. If the business is not innovative or creative...it's on You! This doesn't sound like it is much fun to be a leader. Well, the fact is, all that accountability can be very rewarding as you remain curious and build into the lives of your people. In this episode of A New Direction, we are joined by former CEO of Tipperary Sales Inc., current Executive Coach and Best-selling author Martha Brown. As she gives practical guidance to leaders at any stage, from her latest book, "It's On You!" Martha Brown's book, "It's On You! Empowerment for Leaders Seeking the Highest Level of Personal Satisfaction and Corporate Success" is a fantastic read from a former CEO who knows how to grow her business and increase profitability. It's on you! It is a self-described guide for emerging and aspiring CEO's and leaders, and the book does not disappoint. I walked away from the book with three in-depth insights from Martha Brown and "It's on You!"  A leader needs to be Strong, Accountable, and Compassionate.  And when you can combine those things successfully, you will have been a great leader. Martha addresses a number of leadership issues from "owning your team", to "creativity and innovation", to "having the hard conversations" to "making sure you have time for you"...and so much more! It's on You! is not a leadership philosophy book. This book has also built in at the end of every chapter, a moment to reflect on where you are at in your leadership, and then a "Step Into Action" section, where she gives you actionable ideas to improve. Simply a great leadership book.  I think it is a must-read.  Get your copy here! Please reach out and thank the sponsors of A New Direction!

David, who has a wealth of experience in leadership, publishing, and coaching through his company, Gray Area Coaching, shares insights from his Amazon #1 bestseller Become a Successful First-Time CEO. Topics include mastering corporate success, creating your own luck, building essential relationships, avoiding common CEO pitfalls, and overcoming imposter syndrome. This conversation is packed with actionable advice for executives and leaders aspiring to thrive in their careers.   About the Guest: David Roche is a professional coach and mentor specializing in working with first-time CEOs across multiple sectors. He is the non-executive chair of the London Book Fair and chair of the writing agency New Writing North.

His bestselling book, Become a Successful First-Time CEO, focuses on the crucial steps new CEOs must take to succeed. David's unique coaching approach blends practical business strategies with personal development.   Key Takeaways: Creating Your Own Luck: Success in a corporate career often involves stepping beyond your immediate role and proactively addressing challenges faced by senior leaders. Building trust by offering solutions can set you apart. The Importance of Relationships: Networking is critical for CEOs, not only for external partnerships but also for managing internal dynamics with boards, leadership teams, and employees.

Despite skyrocketing success in the marketing in a large company, and at a remarkably young age, an itch for something more stirred within.     Through a series of experiments like launching her very first passion podcast, Monica began peeling back layers of limiting beliefs. She uncovered her resonant path - constantly learning, sharing wisdom, and helping others confidently tell their personal stories. Which makes perfect sense, because her Primary Sparketype® is Sage, Shadow is Maven, and ANTI Sparketype® is Essentialist. On this candid journey, Monica had to navigate both inner obstacles of doubt, and outer pressures to conform. You'll hear how her experiences shaped an early drive for financial security that couldn't be ignored, yet also forged the courage to start truly listening to her heart's callings.
