As a community of high-achievers, we often find ourselves at a crossroads, contemplating the leap from security and safety to adventure and building something.
In this episode of the Leveraging Success Podcast, I discuss the compelling idea of quitting your job to chase after your personal goals and kickstart a new venture. My goal is to inspire you to act with authenticity and purpose, and to do so without waiting for someone else’s green light. Delving into the unique challenges faced by different generations in leadership, I share my personal journey of breaking free from the corporate routine to establish my successful consulting firm. Throughout the discussion, I emphasize the importance of self-awareness and having a well-thought-out succession plan in place.
Join me as we navigate the intricacies of embracing change, leading with purpose, and crafting a path that aligns with your true calling.
