Kyle Johann-Baker is an Organization Leadership & WellBeing Consultant who uses CliftonStrengths to bring out the best in others. In a world of endless pathways and options, he encourages the people he coaches to observe what it is that truly makes them come alive, even if that is a different path than the person next to them (hint: if you’re doing it right, it often will be).
 
In this episode, we learn how to harness power from our strengths. By recognizing our strengths, we can have a more holistic approach to our work and wellbeing. Kyle also touches on certification programs for coaches and how to use them to provide more value to clients.

Terry Banks specializes in guiding professionals to efficiently manage their finances so that they can shift from being frustrated with living paycheck to paycheck to achieving their definition of financial freedom. Terry started Bank On It Financial Coaching after heeding encouragement from friends who benefited from years of her informally sharing what she learned along her journey to financial freedom. Through trial and error, she pioneered her way from not knowing if she would ever be able to retire to having the option of retiring early. When she’s not helping others conquer their money fears and tap into their dreams, Terry enjoys standup comedy, reading, gardening, investing, and savoring tequila.
 
She sits down with us today to talk about stepping into the path of financial independence. She offers insights into what it takes to build a strong foundation in budgeting and investing while having fun. She stresses the importance of happiness and why knowing what brings you joy is key to achieving true financial success.
