Being a trillion-dollar consultant is a title most of us can only dream of, and it is one of the many that today's guest, Kareen Walsh, has managed to achieve. Not only is she an elite executive coach, but she is also a serial entrepreneur, startup advisor and investor, author, and podcaster. As the CEO/Founder of Revampologist, LLC, a seven-figure boutique consulting and coaching company, Kareen brings over 17 years of experience, underpinned by her unique, people-process-technology approach. In today's episode, Kareen talks about where she sees most leaders tripping up and stresses the importance of not viewing personal and professional growth as dichotomous. Instead, they are reflective of one another, but this is hard for many leaders to accept. Kareen chats about the tough love she gives her clients and why coaches should not shy away from tough topics. To bring about change, you have to reform systems, and this starts with how the leader views themselves. Our fascinating conversation also touches on creating spaces that foster growth, how leaders know when it is time to move on, and the value of walking away at the right time. You will be hard-pressed to find information of this caliber for free anywhere else, so tune in to hear it all!
