Episode 16
Katharine Smith, MA, CPCC, ACC is an Organizational Psychologist and Executive Coach. She has a unique approach to helping her clients prioritize their higher purpose, avoid burnout, redesign their relationship with work, and phase out fear-based cultures.
Katharine and Chava dive into the conversation that really blossomed from a catch up where they were discussing "well what the heck is success?" In this episode, you'll learn about:
- how our unique conditioning throughout our lives requires well, unique solutions.
- how to start "editing" your career and making decisions of what to carry with you and what to let go
- why rituals help us become happier people and better leaders and how to make small behavioral changes
- why those who have a great relationship with work (and boundaries!) also make great coworkers
- and... how all of this knits together!
