From Corporate Burnout to Entrepreneurial Freedom with Author and Founder Leigh Burgess

In today's episode of Dominate Your Day, visionary leader and entrepreneur Leigh Burgess discusses her journey from the academic corporate world to becoming a consultant and author.

Leigh shares insights from her personal experiences, including overcoming burnout, transitioning from roles at Dartmouth and Duke, and finding new pathways by creating the 'BOLD' framework, an acronym for Believe, Own, Learn, Design.

She explains how the pandemic catalyzed her personal transformation, culminating in her leaving a demanding corporate career to pursue entrepreneurship with her daughter. Leigh also highlights the significance of continuous self-belief and reassessment of personal strengths in business.

Her new book, 'Be Bold Today,' encapsulates this journey, offering strategies for personal empowerment and success. Through the conversation, Leigh expresses the vital role of support networks and how aligning with one's strengths and values can foster both personal and professional growth.
