The Courageous Life Heroes and Helpers #7 - The power of presence with Vicky Furlan
As we get ready to close out the 4th season of The Courageous Life
we are revisiting inspiring stories of everyday heroes and the helpers who walk beside them.
These Conversations, which launched this year, shine a light on ordinary people,
Our neighbors, friends, colleagues, and members of our communities,
who rise up to meet challenges,
And navigate their journey through the messy middle parts of life with hope, courage, compassion, love, and resilience.
And because no one does it alone (not even heroes) this series also features conversations with helpers:
The mentors,
The coaches,
The sages
and the guides.
The people who help heroes to strengthen themselves and ultimately transform in ways that allow them to meet their lives from a wiser, more skillful, and often more responsive (vs. reactive) place.
Today, we are highlighting Vicky Furlan.
Vicky is an HR leader, a psychologist, and a coach who believes that leaders are grown not born.
For the past 8 years, Vicky been helping people in software organizations make the leap from being high-performing individual contributors to becoming high-performing managers.
She helps those she coaches, and works with, to grow and create more fulfilling careers and lives.
