Episode notes

In the fast-paced world that we live in, with so many opportunities knocking on our doors, it seems like we are ready to say ‘yes’ to everything that comes our way, sometimes without reflecting on whether it moves us in the direction of our goals or not.

Before rushing into taking any action, slow down for a bit. Reflect on past opportunities. Which ones served you well? Which ones didn't? What lessons did you learn along the way to inform your thinking for the next move? Will the next step you take, get you closer to your dreams?

These are essential questions one has to answer, and my guest, Victoria Trabosh, is masterful at showing leaders how to harness the power of reflection to become their best selves and transform their lives. She is an executive coach, international speaker, author, columnist, and she is passionate about changing the world and striving to make a difference in ways that are lasting and sustainable. In 2005, she co-founded the Itafari Foundation for Rwanda, through which she continually uses her strong voice to help others.

Victoria believes that slowing down will actually allow us to go faster, and today, she shares a five-step process that has helped thousands of leaders walk smoother through their journey to success, and she also talks about a framework that goes hand in hand with that process.

If you want to learn more about how the simple act of reflection can shape a better future for you, then tune in to Episode 09 of Roar, to hear powerful takeaways that will have a lasting impact on everything that you do.
