In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the Executive Coach, Author & Inspirational Speaker of
Campbell Company,
Josefine Campbell.
Josefine has worked with renowned organizations such as Maersk, Novo Nordisk, Deloitte, McDonald's, and KPMG. She coaches individual leaders and groups within these organizations, focusing on challenges, personal growth, and career development.
Interestingly, she mentioned that most clients come through recommendations and engage her as an external coach. This is a testament to her expertise and her value to these organizations.
Josefine also discussed the challenges and fears that executives and entrepreneurs face. She likened the feeling of being in a high-pressure work environment to walking through a dark forest as a teenager.
She shared a personal story of her experience in a martial arts competition, where she doubted her abilities compared to others who had been practicing for much longer. However, she learned that bravery and risk-taking are essential in both entrepreneurship and martial arts.
Josefine's new book, "
Power Barometer," offers practical strategies for managing personal energy for business success. She emphasizes the need to listen to one's body and control breathing to calm the mind and signal the brain that there is no danger.
She also highlights the significance of controlling one's attention and not letting external factors dictate its place. For those interested in learning more, Josefine encourages visiting her website, josephinecampbell.com, where they can find free tools and resources from the book.
