If you're listening to this podcast, it's likely that you are an individual full of ambition, especially in your career. Almost by definition, that means we both fall into a group of people that find it difficult to relax and often fall into assigning our self-worth to our productivity. In this conversation with Sheila Murray, we unpack the stereotypes of success as high achieving, ambitious women, and how she has dedicated her working life to helping others find the feeling of success whilst thriving.

As we discuss in this episode, it's the small things like stopping everything you are doing just to take a breath that can make the biggest difference. Book a call with me to discover how 1-1 coaching can help you explore where you're boundaries should be, how to enforce them and how it can change the way you move through your world of work.

My Guest
