Send us Fan MailMost business owners believe growth comes from better marketing, stronger sales, or more sophisticated systems. But what if the real growth constraint is leadership? Leadership skills for business owners are rarely discussed with the same urgency as strategy and revenue, yet they often determine whether a company can successfully grow beyond the founder.As businesses expand, new challenges emerge. More clients, more opportunities, and more responsibilities place increasing demands on the person leading the organization. The skills required to start a business are not always the same skills required to scale one. And this is where many founders discover an important truth: sustainable growth requires leadership growth.In this inaugural episode of The People Side of Business, we explore the shift from founder to CEO and why leadership becomes one of the most important investments a business owner can make. From developing stronger business communication skills to creating trust, accountability, and clarity, leadership influences every aspect of performance. The way you lead affects your team, your culture, your decision-making, and ultimately your results.You'll discover why effective team management strategies are critical to long-term success, how to recognize when leadership has become a bottleneck, and why learning how to manage employees and team members effectively creates capacity for growth. We also discuss the importance of building company culture intentionally and the role of building leadership team capability as your business evolves.One of the most powerful ideas explored is that people are not simply part of your business growth strategy—they are the strategy. Every client experience, innovation, and operational success is driven by people. That is why leadership skills for female business owners and business leadership for women deserve greater attention, support, and conversation.If you've ever felt caught between working in your business and leading your business, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about growth. Because leadership skills for business owners are not about becoming perfect. They are about becoming intentional, self-aware, and willing to evolve alongside your business.The future of your company will be shaped not only by what you do, but by who you become as a leader. And that is why leadership skills for business owners matter more than most entrepreneurs realize. Whether you're leading a small team or preparing for your next stage of growth, leadership skills for business owners may be the most valuable investment you make.Connect with me on LinkedIn and share the leadership challenge you're navigating right now.

There's a particular kind of exhaustion many leaders and high performers quietly normalize over time. Not because they lack resilience or work ethic, but because constant urgency, nonstop communication, increasing expectations, and blurred boundaries slowly become part of the work culture itself.In this episode of The Dr. Ginny Show, Dr. Ginny Baro sits down with Amy Pierre-Russo, Certified Life & Leadership Coach and former HR leader, for an honest conversation about the leadership habits quietly shaping employee experience, workplace culture, and the way teams experience work today.As organizations continue navigating AI disruption, leaner structures, caregiving responsibilities, economic uncertainty, and rising demands, many employees and leaders are carrying far more than most workplaces fully recognize. From this conversation, you will gain insight into:What happens when constant availability becomes normalizedWhy support systems matter more than we give it credit How intentional leadership can positively influence workplace culture over timeIf you are leading teams, navigating organizational change, supporting employees through demanding seasons, or trying to create healthier and more sustainable leadership rhythms, this conversation will likely feel very familiar.About Our Distinguised Guest: Amy Pierre-Russo is a Certified Life & Leadership Coach who helps women move from hustle to harmony by creating work-life rhythms that feel aligned, sustainable, and fulfilling. Her passion for this work grew from years in Human Resources, where she saw how often professionals, especially moms, were stretched thin trying to “do it all.”

Today we're talking about a situation that comes up sometimes in leadership coaching engagements - a newly appointed leader who inherits an existing team and then struggles to establish credibility.This is one of the reasons organisations bring me in as a leadership coach. On paper, promoting this person to leader makes sense. The leader is capable, experienced, technically strong, maybe high-performing in previous roles.But then they step into a new leadership position with an inherited team… and things start to wobble.Maybe the team doesn't fully buy in. Momentum slows. Relationships become strained. The leader starts second-guessing themselves.In today's episode we are exploring why this transition can be so hard and how coaching can help the leader build engagement and thrive.Rebecca, on taking a step back in the first few days and weeks of your new leadership role: "What makes it particularly difficult is that many new leaders think they need to prove themselves quickly. So they overcompensate. They move too fast. And they try to establish authority before establishing trust."Links:Get a copy of Rebecca's 7 Strategic Shifts to Position You as a High-Impact LeaderBook a free 15 minute Career Strategy call with Rebecca to get your career off to a fresh start.

Send us Fan MailWe're five seasons in, friend. And wow, we've explored some vulnerable topics and big strategies. Guests had mic-drop and thought-provoking moments, and founders sent messages that reminded me exactly why this show exists. This week's episode is the season five wrap-up! No guest. Just me, seven lessons, and the things I think we were all trying to avoid saying out loud this year.✨ The Seven Lessons of Season Five1. Scaling is an identity shift first and a strategy second. The version of you that built the business cannot be the same version of you that scales it. 2. Hiring faster does not fix broken leadership. Most hiring problems are actually clarity problems.3. Confidence is built through action. Confident people do not feel ready all the time. The women growing the fastest are the ones willing to be visible before they feel polished.4. Culture is not kombucha and core values on a wall. Culture is how you handle conflict, whether expectations are clear, and whether people feel safe enough to tell the truth. 5. Leadership becomes exhausting when you're trying to be everything to everyone. Busy leadership reacts. Focused leadership drives. 6. The best leaders build teams that can think without them. When every question, every decision, and every problem still flows through the founder... Something has gone wrong.7. The women we admire most are doing the deepest inner work. Behind almost every strategic problem is a human problem. Fear, perfectionism, people pleasing, control, avoidance. Leadership exposes all of it. Thank you for being here all season. Thank you for listening, sharing, and sending the messages that remind me this work matters!

Why are so many executive teams underperforming?In this solo episode of The Courageous Leaders Podcast, I break down the biggest leadership mistakes I see inside executive teams today, from social loafing and siloed thinking to oversized leadership teams and “Game of Thrones” behaviour at the top of organisations.I explore why executive leadership is about far more than titles, why leadership teams must operate collectively instead of protecting departments, and why CEOs need the courage to reshape teams when they are no longer serving the business.If your leadership team feels political, disconnected, slow, or overly comfortable, this episode will challenge how you think about executive leadership.What We Cover:00:00 – Why executive teams lose effectiveness00:52 – Why titles do not equal executive leadership01:24 – The danger of oversized executive teams02:24 – Executive teams acting like working groups02:42 – “Game of Thrones” leadership behaviour explained03:07 – Why the executive team must become the first team03:52 – Why CEOs need the courage to challenge comfortKey Leadership Insights• Executive teams shape what becomes acceptable in company culture• Leadership titles do not automatically create leadership capability• High-performing executive teams think collectively, not territorially• Oversized leadership teams slow down decision-making and accountability• CEOs must be willing to challenge comfort and restructure leadership teams• The behaviour at the top becomes the standard for the entire companyReflection Questions for Leaders• Is my executive team truly operating as one team?• Where are politics or silos damaging decision-making?• Have titles become more important than impact?• What difficult leadership change am I avoiding right now?

Send us Fan MailYou had the vision. You built the thing! And somewhere between starting and scaling, the message got muddier, the team got busier, and the gap between what you meant to build and what's actually being delivered started to widen.This week's guest knows exactly how to close the gap.I sat down with Kaitlyn David— brand strategist, fractional CMO, and an all-around grounded, human-centered marketing thinker. Kaitlyn looks at marketing from the inside out, and she has some fantastic insight on keeping your vision alive (and simplified) while scaling. ✨ Episode Highlights

That 57% of the average founder's time is spent on non-core work. Work that isn't generating revenue, isn't in their zone of genius, and that someone else could do better, faster (and with significantly more joy).That number made me look at my own week differently! And this episode will help you do the same, as you hold up the mirror long enough to see exactly what that non-core work is costing you in your business. ✨ Episode Highlights⏱️ Every hour spent on work that isn't your highest use has an opportunity cost. And Elizabeth has a calculator that shows you exactly what that number is.

You know what you should be doing. More sleep. Better recovery. Less time running on empty. You have known it for years. So has every burned-out doctor, executive, and elite athlete Andrew May has ever worked with. The problem is not knowledge. It is the gap between knowing and doing. And most people are misdiagnosing the reason for that gap entirely.Andrew May is a Mental Skills and Leadership Coach who has worked with ASX executives, elite sporting teams (Wallabies), and the Australian Defence Force. Andrew gets honest about his own near-burnout at 40, what it took to turn it around, and why even the most informed, high-functioning people are still getting recovery wrong.From there, it gets practical. What strategic recovery actually looks like inside a high-demand schedule. Why most people calling it burnout are actually chronically under-recovered. The exercise prescription that builds real performance capacity without flogging yourself. And how to finally close the gap between what you know and what you do.This one is for doctors. It is also for anyone who has been running hard for too long and suspects the wheels are starting to wobble.00:00 Burnout rates in medicine are above 80%, yet doctors know more about the body than almost anyone. Why the gap?05:14 Andrew's own near-burnout at 40: marriage breakdown, external validation, and the mate from Dubbo who cracked it open.10:44 Most people calling it burnout are actually chronically under-recovered. Andrew explains the difference.13:04 What strategic recovery looks like in practice, including how Andrew applies it with the Australian Defence Force.20:25 Why physical activity is not recovery, and the exercise prescription that actually builds performance capacity.26:02 Sleep deprivation degrades judgment, memory and decision-making. Andrew challenges the eight-hour myth.28:47 A simple plate-based nutrition framework, intermittent fasting for men over 40, and why women need a different approach.34:14 How to close the gap between knowing and doing: self-reflection, barrier mapping, and building real accountability.40:10 Key messages, close, and why how you show up changes how everyone around you performs.This episode was originally published on the Healthed podcast with Dr David Lim.

Is your company culture too nice to perform?In this solo episode of The Courageous Leaders Podcast, I break down the Challenge & Care Framework and why many teams are stuck in cultures that feel good on the surface but quietly damage standards, accountability, and results.I explore the four zones every workplace can fall into: apathy, comfort, fear, and courage, and how the best teams combine high care with high challenge.Because great leadership is not about being nice or being tough. It is about creating an environment where people feel supported, challenged, and clear on what excellence looks like.If your team avoids hard conversations, lacks accountability, or feels stuck, this episode will help you identify why and what to change next.What We Cover:00:00 – Is your culture too nice to perform?00:23 – The Challenge & Care Framework explained00:33 – The Apathy Zone: low care, low challenge00:50 – The Comfort Zone: high care, low challenge01:46 – The Fear Zone: high challenge, low care02:24 – The Courage Zone: where high performance lives02:58 – What true high performance actually means03:31 – Compassionate feedback as the key skill03:44 – Start with your leadership team first04:04 – Your current zone explains your resultsReflection Questions for Leaders• Where am I over-helping instead of empowering?• What am I still controlling that I should let go?• Which conversation am I avoiding right now?• Where have I been indirect instead of honest?

Why Your Data Is Not the Star of the Show: The Human Science of Powerful PresentationsGuest: Anthony Greiter, Founder of Agent, Technical Translator and Presentation Coach Host: Julie Riga, Leadership Coach and Founder of the Stay On Course Podcast

In this episode, Mary Sullivan, co-founder of Sweet but Fearless, talks with Julie Ellis about her remarkable entrepreneurial journey, from co-founding Mabel's Labels to becoming an author, coach, speaker, and leadership coach focused on helping others create meaningful success. Julie discusses the relationships and mindset shifts that often separate people who achieve big things from those who remain stuck. Through her methodology centered around systems, processes, and people, she explains why sustainable success requires more than hustle alone. The conversation also explores how entrepreneurs can identify roadblocks, evaluate whether they're spending their time wisely, and make intentional changes that move them forward. As the author of "Big Gorgeous Goals," Julie also shares why we all need big gorgeous goals, the kind that feel exciting, uncomfortable, and even a little scary. Unlike the safe, tidy goals we know we can accomplish, these are the goals that stretch us, keep us awake at night, and challenge us to believe we are capable of more than we imagined.   ABOUT JULIE ELLIS: Website – Julie Ellis & CoLinkedIn – Julie EllisBook - "Big Gorgeous Goals" and "Big Gorgeous Goals Workbook"FREE – CEO Bottleneck mini course ABOUT SWEET BUT FEARLESS: Website - Sweet but Fearless LinkedIn - Sweet but Fearless

Most leaders are never trained in how to manage their emotions.In this solo episode, I break down emotional fitness and why it plays a critical role in leadership, decision-making, and performance. When emotions take over, we react instead of respond, avoid difficult conversations, and make decisions driven by fear rather than values.I explore the difference between emotionally fit and emotionally unfit leadership, along with practical ways to build awareness, regulate emotions, and lead with clarity under pressure.If you want to improve how you show up as a leader, this is a skill you can't afford to ignore.What We Cover: 00:00 Introduction: The skill leaders aren't trained in 01:00 Why emotions override logic 01:30 What emotional fitness really means 02:10 Emotionally fit vs unfit leaders 03:00 Reacting vs responding 03:40 Common emotional patterns (fear, defensiveness) 04:20 Making decisions from values vs emotions 05:10 Building awareness and catching reactions 05:40 Labelling emotions and shifting state 06:10 Practical tools to regulate emotions 06:40 Emotional fitness and leadership under pressure 07:00 Final takeawayReflection Questions for Leaders• Where am I reacting instead of responding?• What emotion is driving my recent decisions?• Where am I avoiding tension instead of addressing it?• What would it look like to lead from my values instead of fear?#Leadership #EmotionalIntelligence #ModernLeadership #CourageousLeaders

In this episode, host Robert "Bob" Pizzini interviews retired Navy Commander and PhD Joseph Dituri, also known as "Dr. Deep Sea." Joseph, a Navy diver and engineering duty officer, served 28 years, during which he earned a master's in astronautical engineering and led deep submergence and submarine rescue capabilities. He later contributed to the development of the SEAL Dry Combat Submersible at SOCOM. Joseph shares his background, which involved growing up between New York and Italy, developing a strong work ethic, and entering Navy diving through early assignments and mentorship. Following his Navy career, he obtained a PhD in biomedical engineering, specializing in life support and hyperbaric/hypobaric medicine, and authored works, including hyperbaric medicine guidance. He achieved a Guinness World Record with Project Neptune 100 by living underwater for 100 days. This endeavor aimed to study the prolonged effects of hyperbaric conditions, promote ocean preservation, and inspire STEM education. Dr. Joseph also recounts his recovery from a traumatic brain injury using a multimodal protocol, discusses the safety and mechanisms of hyperbaric treatment, and defines leadership as a practice of giving back through knowledge and mentorship. Learn about all of these and more nuggets of insight in this latest episode of the Elevate Your Leadership podcast. KEY TAKEAWAYS Work ethic is foundational — Joe's parents modeled relentless hard work with zero tolerance for laziness, which made military culture feel natural from day one. Diversity of thought is what actually solves problems — background and upbringing shape how you think, not just who you are. Healing TBI (and most serious injuries) requires a combination approach — no single treatment works; hyperbaric oxygen, CBT, physical therapy, neurofeedback, and grounding all played a role in Joe's recovery. Residual self-image is a hidden danger after major life transitions — losing your military identity without replacing it can lead to crisis; look inward and redefine yourself early. The ocean is an untapped pharmacy — a compound discovered at the bottom of the Mariana Trench showed partial Alzheimer's-fighting properties; we've barely explored what's there. Living underwater proved hyperbaric pressure improves mental health markers — PTSD, anxiety, and sleep scores all improved after 100 days at depth. Leadership is knowledge transfer — accumulate wisdom, then give it away generously; your name is irrelevant, but what you pass on lives forever. Constant, never-ending improvement — the only goal is to be better than you were yesterday. QUOTES Leadership is basically giving back to whoever you're around, whatever knowledge you have." — Dr. Joe Dituri "Diversity of thought — that's where we miss the boat. I don't care about your color or your gender. I care that we solve the problem." "Nobody will remember my name in a hundred years. But hopefully some of that wisdom left me and went to somebody." "The drug company model is change one thing. The real human model is change everything and fix the f***ing problem." "Hyperbaric oxygen doesn't cure anything. It just helps your body heal itself." "I'm looking at the man in the mirror — and I'm asking him to change his ways. That's the work." "Science wins over BS. You gotta do the science." "Permission granted, Aquanaut — fix the problem." — Admiral McRaven to Dr. Dituri "When I went into the military, it was like — you want me to wake up early and never quit? I can do this. This is like being at home."

Today I had the privilege of interviewing Nicole Yade, CEO of WAGEC (Women and Girls' Emergency Centres) established to support women and their children, seeking support from situations of domestic violence. Australia continues to struggle with a national crisis in terms of violence against women with 1 in 4 women having experienced violence from an intimate partner since the age of 15 and nearly 9 in 10 hospitalisations for assault by a partner – were for females (Source: AIHW).Today, Nicole Yade is sharing insight from her diverse role as CEO at WAGEC and how she needs a multitude of skills to adapt to lots of different stakeholders including individual women and their children; communicating with Ministers; and meeting with people with inter-generational wealth who want to invest their money into an NGO such as WAGEC. We also talk about the misconception that NGOs struggle to attract the best talent... and the kinds of people who do well in NGOs.Nicole, on NGOs attracting the best talent: "One of my pet peeves... is hearing the idea that if you were really good at your job you'd be working for government or in a corporate setting. But for me, nothing could be further from the truth. What I see everyday at WAGEC, I see people [in our team] who are really good at their jobs, with incredible heart and soul and professionalism and adding wisdom to some of the most complex problems in our community."Links:Connect with Nicole and the work of WAGEC at www.wagec.org.auConnect with Nicole Yade on LinkedinInstagram follow Nicole Yade (@nicoleyadee)Connect with Rebecca Allen on LinkedinGet your copy of Rebecca's free guide, 7 Strategic Shifts to Position You as a High-Impact LeaderRate, Review, & Follow our Show on Apple Podcasts:Also, if you haven't done so already, follow the podcast.

In this episode, we sit down with our friend and fellow coach, Tim Austin, to explore what it really looks like to navigate a major life transition—especially when it involves calling, identity, and purpose.Tim shares his journey of spending 20 years overseas as a missionary and the unexpected challenges of returning home. What does it feel like to leave behind a place, a role, and a sense of purpose that defined so much of your life? We talk honestly about the loss, the uncertainty, and the deep identity questions that come with that kind of shift.We also explore the tension between urgency and trust—how easy it is to want immediate clarity, and how important it is to slow down, breathe, and allow space for God to lead. Tim opens up about the “in-between” season, where he stepped into a role he didn't expect, and how that became a meaningful part of his journey into coaching.This conversation is especially for anyone walking through transition—whether you're leaving a career, stepping out of ministry, or simply sensing that something new is unfolding. We reflect on how nothing is wasted, how past experiences shape future purpose, and how living on mission can look different in every season.We hope this episode encourages you to trust the process, embrace the unknown, and stay open to what might be possible next.FREE RESOURCES:Tim Austinhttps://www.encompasslifecoaching.com/tim@encompasslifecoaching.comListen to our sister podcast the REALIFE Practice Podcast on your Favorite Podcast AppTake the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?

We get into how he's using personality assessments and workshops to help churches and businesses resolve team conflict, improve leadership, and avoid shutting their doors for good.We also talk about what happens when a prospective client tells you your price point is "choking" them — and how to respond without retreating, discounting, or losing your confidence.If you're a coach who's still figuring out how to land clients, price your services, and stay encouraged when the pipeline feels slow, this one's for you.In this episode, we cover:→ How he transitioned from law enforcement to ministry to full-time coaching→ The assessment trifecta he uses to diagnose leadership dysfunction→ Why churches are closing and what it reveals about leadership in any organization→ The direct mail strategy that gets him in front of 60+ decision-makers at once→ How to handle pricing objections without devaluing yourself→ The one trait that separates coachable leaders from everyone elseListen now and use something from this episode in your Daily Path.

The LEARN Framework: Building a Lasting Culture Through Intentional LeadershipGuest: Jim Carbaugh, Educator, Leadership Coach and Author Host: Julie RigaOverviewJim Carbaugh spent 35 years in classrooms and school leadership before turning five letters his grandfather taught him into a framework now adopted by schools and businesses nationwide. His LEARN Framework covers Listen, Ethics, Attitude, Respect, and Know. In this episode, Jim and Julie explore what it takes to build a lasting culture, lead with purpose, and stay curious in a rapidly changing world.The LEARN Framework: Building a Lasting Culture Through Intentional LeadershipAbout Jim CarbaughJim Carbaugh is a leadership coach, speaker, and author with 35 years in education as a teacher, coach, and school administrator. His LEARN Framework was shaped by a personal story of mentorship passed down by his grandfather and refined through decades of leading people under pressure. He is the founder of All Points Leadership, now transitioning to jimcarbaugh.com, and has a new book releasing soon that walks leaders step by step through the framework.Fun Fact: Jim is a devoted fan of Maryland Hardshell Blue Crabs with Old Bay seasoning and has a reputation for testing the limits of all-you-can-eat seafood restaurants.The Three Ingredients for SuccessListenYour climate controls your culture. Before you can build a great culture, you must first understand the climate you are creating. True listening means entering every conversation with curiosity, not with the intent to fix or to win. Communication does not happen unless the listener confirms understanding. Leaders must listen at every level of the organization and always clarify before anyone leaves the room.EthicsYour non-negotiables are your values in action. Jim leads a team exercise where everyone writes their top three to five non-negotiables. When compared, shared values almost always surface, revealing why conflict was unnecessary in the first place. When leaders stretch beyond their non-negotiables, poor decisions follow. Knowing your values empowers bold choices, including walking away from opportunities that do not align with who you are.KnowNo has two sides. The first is the boundary you set for yourself. The second is the no you will receive from others. We are wired to hear no as permanent, but it is not final. Every yes you have earned came through the no's you navigated. The mindset shift is replacing no with "What if?"

In this episode of The D Shift, Mardi Winder speaks with transformation coach Pritha Dindayal about how to rebuild your life after divorce without falling back into old patterns that no longer serve you.Pritha shares her deeply personal journey through multiple life transitions, including the end of a long-term relationship, career disruption, and profound personal loss. She speaks openly about the emotional impact of these experiences and how they shaped her understanding of change, resilience, and self-trust.Mardi and Pritha explore a common challenge many people face after divorce: while life circumstances may shift quickly, internal patterns of thinking and decision-making often take longer to evolve. This gap can lead people to make choices from a place of pain, fear, or habit, causing them to repeat cycles even when they are trying to move forward.In this episode Pritha shares:• Why people often repeat patterns after divorce• How emotional pain can influence decision-making• The importance of self-awareness during life transitions• How to recognize and shift limiting beliefs• Practical ways to move forward with intention and clarityThe conversation also highlights the importance of support, whether through coaching or community, in identifying blind spots and creating meaningful change. Pritha encourages listeners to slow down, ask honest questions, and begin making choices that align with who they are becoming, not who they have been.About the Guest:Pritha Dindayal is a Transformation Coach who helps women navigate the in-between phase after something ends — a breakup, divorce, career shift, or identity change. She works with women who look fine on the outside but feel unsettled, stuck, or unsure on the inside. Pritha helps women recognize the invisible patterns they keep defaulting to and learn how to live from who they are now, not who they used to be.For Pritha's gift: https://breakthrough-with-pritha.kit.com/a2ef29790fTo connect with Pritha: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breakthroughwithpritha/About the HostMardi Winder is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

In today's episode, we're having a real and honest conversation about something that doesn't get talked about enough—the hidden costs of coaching.When I first started coaching, I thought it was mostly about showing up for sessions and having meaningful conversations. And while that's absolutely part of it, there's so much more happening behind the scenes.In this episode, Erica and I unpack three key areas that every coach—whether you're just starting or growing your practice—needs to understand:✨ The emotional and mental energy it takes to truly hold space for others✨ The time commitment beyond the session itself (prep, follow-up, scheduling, and more) ✨ The financial realities of building and sustaining a coaching businessWe also talk about capacity, boundaries, and how to steward your time and energy in a way that allows you to show up well—not just for your clients, but for your life.This isn't about discouraging you—it's about equipping you with the truth so you can build something sustainable, meaningful, and aligned with your calling.If you've ever wondered, “What is coaching really like day in and day out?”—this conversation is for you.FREE RESOURCES:Listen to our sister podcast the REALIFE Practice Podcast on your Favorite Podcast AppTake the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?

What got you here won't get you there. For most IT leaders, the path to the top was paved with expertise — knowing the systems, owning the decisions, having the answers. But something happens when that playbook stops working. Not a crash. Not a failure. Just a quiet plateau that tells you something needs to change.In this episode of The Catalyst, we explore what's on the other side of that wall: a shift toward curiosity, empowerment, and a fundamentally different way of leading. Featuring leadership coach Kirsten Schmidtke, curiosity researcher Dr. Deb Clary, and Benevity VP of Engineering Rob Woolley — three voices who all landed in the same place.What you'll take away:Why expertise becomes a trap for senior IT leaders — and how to recognize when it's happening to youThe one behaviour change Rob Woolley made that created what he calls "titanic shifts" in his leadershipWhat MIT-commissioned research reveals about the direct link between curiosity and organizational performanceWhy the best leaders aren't the ones with the most answers — and what they do insteadFeaturing: Rob Woolley, VP Core Platform & Data Engineering at Benevity | Kirsten Schmidtke, Leadership Coach & Growth Advisor | Dr. Deb Clary, Author of The Curiosity Curve (Fast Company Press)Learn more about Kirsten at kirstenschmidtke.com Take Deb's curiosity assessment at debraclary.com #ITLeadership #MidMarketIT #TheCatalyst #CuriousLeadership #Softchoice #LeadershipDevelopment #FutureOfITThe Catalyst by Softchoice is the podcast dedicated to exploring the intersection of humans and technology.

In today's episode, Erica and I sat down to have a really honest conversation about a question we hear all the time:Can you actually make money as a coach?We didn't hold back in this one. We talked about the real journey—from feeling called to help people, to realizing that coaching isn't just a skill… it's also a business.I shared from my own experience of building multiple businesses over the years and how coaching eventually became the expression of both my calling and my entrepreneurial wiring. Erica brought such a grounded perspective as well, especially around what sustainability can look like in different seasons of life.We explored the difference between simply having coaching skills and actually building something that generates income. Because the truth is—those are two very different things.We also talked about:Why most coaches need more than one income streamHow your season of life impacts your business modelWhat “full-time” really means todayThe importance of investing in yourself as a coachAnd why you don't have to have it all figured out to startOne thing I want you to hear clearly: Yes, you can make money as a coach.But it's not a one-size-fits-all path, and it does require intention, learning, and growth over time.If you're in a place of wondering whether this could be something more for you, I hope this conversation gives you both clarity and courage to take your next step.FREE RESOURCES:Listen to our sister podcast the REALIFE Practice Podcast on your Favorite Podcast AppTake the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?
