In this episode, Paula Cogan joins me to talk about how she navigated her career to become a CEO while rearing 3 sons with her husband, Mike.
We talk about how to adopt a permission mindset. Permission to ask for help, put less pressure on ourselves to meet ‘be perfect’ and to follow our instincts as parents and in our career.
This episode also covers:
- Bypassing your inner critic to say yes to opportunities.
- How taking a step back can move you forward in your career.
- The importance of having a supportive partner and co-leader in the ‘home business’.
- How to build your village; in any business, finding the right team to support you is key.
- How to play to your strengths to run your home like a business and get in expertise when needed.
- Controlling the controllables and having compassion for yourself when it outside of your control.
- Setting out goals for your home and for work life and working together to achieve them.
- With FRAZZLE coaching and planning, the metric of success is to save time to invest into self-care.
