"It's just so much fear, I think that keeps people from making transitions," she says. "I have my own business, but I also serve as sort of a freelance coach for other companies" Her dad is still doing what he does every day and loves it. 'You're not safer because you have a job'
Today Josh speaks with Terry B. McDougall about courage, fear, corporate leadership, and living a fulfilling life.
Terry is an executive coach, speaker, and best-selling author of Winning the Game of Work
After more than 30 years of corporate business experience leading marketing efforts in senior management roles, Terry chose to become a coach to concentrate on helping leaders step fully into their potential to lead satisfying careers.
Some of the other topics we dive into are:
- The external trappings of success.
- The negative feedback loops of work stress and pain avoidance.
- Childhood trauma, high achievers, and external validation.
- Unhealthy coping mechanisms, setting governors and detoxing from corporate life.
- The operating costs of poor leadership.
- Fear detachment and the illusion of job security.
- Self-moderation and critical self-talk.
- The future of work in the corporate world.
- Courage, anxiety, and letting go.
- And so much more.
