I had the incredible opportunity to be a guest on Stuck – a personal finance podcast about career change, hosted by Rob Curtis (a former coaching client during his time as CEO of Daylight) and Jamal Stockton. On this episode, we dive into the tough decisions many leaders face when navigating career transitions—when to move on, how to align personal growth with professional aspirations, and what it takes to build a fulfilling career without losing sight of what truly matters. Stuck is an inspiring podcast that explores how leaders, particularly in tech, approach pivotal moments in their careers. I’m honored to share my thoughts on these challenges and reflect on my own journey as an executive coach supporting a wide range of leaders across tech/finance ecosystems.
🎧 Tune in to hear our conversation and gain insights into making courageous career moves that lead to a more meaningful life.
