    Manifesting the house, the lifestyle and community of your vision, with Natalie Coulson

    This one is special because it was recorded in Natalie’s house - from the vision board to reality! She's the founder of the Kicking Goals Marketing & Communications and of the Lady Kicking Goals community. She’s living the life that was on her vision but the story is not about “look at me things are perfect”!. This conversation is about the journey from idea, doubts, highs and lows, and how to reinvent yourself and rise like a phoenix.  This is for anyone who has an image, and idea but can't picture IF and HOW their own crazy idea would actually work. For over fifteen years Natalie built her career on the business side of magazine publishing, first in Australia and then across Canada, before moving into communications work with small businesses and the public sector. She'd always been drawn to helping women in business, even when it wasn't officially her job. Then came a rental in Sydney she knew she'd eventually lose, a partner who said "what about Phuket?" and a decision to buy a house off the floor plan in a country she barely knew. What you'll hear How to trust yourself when life makes you feel unhappy?Why regularly updating her vision changed her life?How to act on a vague image/vision?How to navigate the highs and the lows during moments of change?What made her say yes to the crazy idea, after 1 year of doubting?The realisation that "Whatever you think is holding you back is not. It's you."If what you need doesn’t exist, why don’t you create it?She’s an endless source of inspiration and connection, connect with Natalie via LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/nataliejcoulson/ or follow her community on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ladies_kicking_goals/  If this conversation sparked something and you're ready to explore your own crazy idea with expert guidance and a community who gets it, go to https://humancareers.com/podcast and join our next free Turning Point Lab.

  2. How to Become Ready for the Next Big Role (Even When You Don't Feel It) with Silvia D’Anna

    How to Become Ready for the Next Big Role (Even When You Don't Feel It) with Silvia D’Anna

    "Whatever you do for yourself is never crazy enough." That's what Silvia said in our conversation, and knowing her, she really embodies that motto. She has a very inspiring career spanning BCG, Nike, and now she's VP Sports, Kids and Underwear at Best Secret, the role she says that “ticks all the boxes of what I was looking for”. How did she build a career like this? What people might not know behind the scenes (and what you'll hear in the conversation) is that she didn't get this far by accident, she's very intentional with her choices and stays open to grow.  For example she decided to go back to university 2 years ago. That's right, mid-career and as a Director. What you'll hear: How do you become ready for a bigger role when part of you still doesn't feel ready?What do you do when your career looks right on paper but something quietly doesn't add up?Is it crazy to add a full-time degree on top of a full-time leadership job, for no one but yourself?How to recognize your inner knowing and intuition?What if success was never the job title, but the person you become getting there?Some of my favorite lines in the conversation: "It's your responsibility to go get them" (the opportunities to grow)"You have full power to make your own journey and create your own destiny"Want to follow Silvia's journey or reach out directly?

    From Hyper-Growth Startups to Fractional Leader, with Hugo Pereira

    I met Hugo when he became President of AIESEC International. To me he was this distant, inspiring figure at first, the person everyone in the room was watching. Years later we both ended up in Amsterdam and he became a friend whose career choices I kept learning from. Hugo calls himself a growth catalyst.  Today he wears 3 hats: a fractional growth and marketing leader for deep-tech and scale-ups, a builder, and a father who decided presence was non-negotiable.  He scaled EVBox from 10 to 700 people and past 100 million in revenue. He failed at two startups before that. And last year, in the same 12 months he had his second daughter, he exited his own startup and wrote a book. Talking about crazy! What you'll hear: Who are you without the job title?What do you do when the role everyone respects is already starting to feel like the wrong fit?Is it crazy to do the work nobody's paying you for, because you believe it actually matters?How do you balance ambition with presence after you become a parent?What if you didn't have to leave your job to start the thing on the side?Check his book if want to learn from his experience leading teams and culture at hyper-growth >> Teams in Hell: How to End Bad Management.
