EP394: Kathy Sarafian - From CEO to Thought Leader - How To Inject Purpose Into Your Business

Bringing your income and your business to its full potential depends on many things, but mindset is king. Investing in yourself through coaching is the greatest investment you can make in your business. Kathy Sarafian was promoted to president of AMO (Abbott Medical Optics of Johnson & Johnson) and quickly found that her mindset was getting in the way of her success. On the verge of quitting, she hired a coach who helped her break though the aspects that were holding her back. She then lead AMO to quadruple their sales.

Kathy has been the CEO of Drive Medical Canada and a Life Science Advisor at MaRS. She 's been coaching CEOs for over 15 years now, focussing on emotions resilience and mindfulness to help leaders develop mindset shifts for greater success.

Expert action steps:

1. Invest in yourself. Don't do it alone.
2. Create space between yourself and your thoughts; put yourself in the position to choose your thoughts. Are your thoughts serving you or not?
3. The trigger for positivity is self awareness. Positivity is precursor to success. We have approximately 50000 thoughts everyday and 75 to 80 percent of those are negative. Use breathing exercises to interrupt negative thought patterns.
