    The Prosperous Empath's Edge: The Key Qualities of Givers and Takers in Leadership

    Last month, we released a mini series called The Prosperous Empath’s Edge, and we released the first two episodes in a three part mini series all about the key strategies and tactics that distinguish between the Empathpreneurs who succeed in business and the ones who don't. It was such a joy recording those first two episodes because the lessons feel so familiar and relevant. They're ones that have been a deep part of my own journey over the past decade in business, and there are themes and topics that come up over and over again in conversations with clients. So in today's episode, we're going to round out the third and final part of that mini series by talking about the key qualities that distinguish givers and takers in leadership, in business and in life. For a little context before you listen, I do not believe that givers do business the right way and takers do business in the wrong way. I think that both givers and takers have both positive and limiting aspects of how we operate in business, but as we become more self aware, not only of our own tendencies and our own default habits and ways of engaging in business, but also what to look out for in the people that we typically tend to attract in business and in relationships, we can set ourselves up for creating mutually beneficial relationships. I hope this episode serves as a good starting place for you in doing so!    Topics: What it looks like when a giver wins and why people often root for the success of givers rather than that of takers  The differences in motivation and communication styles betweens givers and takers and why it can be really supportive, as a giver, to look through the lens of “me” first  How as givers, we’re inclined to see the potential in others and why Catherine believes this is why many coaches are givers rather than takers  The idea that givers are more naturally receptive to the expertise of other people, even if it challenges their own beliefs or knowledge and why it’s important to be aware of this  How to express vulnerability in a way that is authentic and human without making it seem like a weakness Adam Grant’s concept of "other-ish" givers versus "selfless" givers and how it determines who does and doesn’t succeed How givers can become less susceptible to the “doormat effect” by trusting more deeply our own inherent nature of being able to sense others’ intentions and sincerity    Episode Resources: Adam Grant    Connect with Catherine: Apply to join the free Unbounded community, a vibrant group of empathpreneurs who are passionate about supporting each other on our entrepreneurial journeys.  Website LinkedIn Instagram YouTube Sign up to receive my weekly digest on empathic entrepreneurship and hear from voices committed to spreading this message, sent straight to your inbox every Friday since 2016, here.    Work with Catherine: Interested in working 1:1 with a certified coach on Catherine’s team, or joining her in one of her premium mastermind programs?

    On this episode of The Prosperous Empath® Podcast, I’m sitting down with Adam Quiney, an Executive Leadership Coach for leaders and high performers.

    The Prosperous Empath's Edge: Transforming Giver Burnout to Breakthrough

    As we are getting close to 100 episodes of the show, I'm feeling so reflective of the synergies and similar stories that I've heard time and time again during our guest episodes on the show. There's a couple of topics that are super important that I want to take the time to speak to because they feel like breakthroughs that empaths need to overcome in order to prosper. Specifically, I’m thinking of burnout, boundaries, and energy management. Today I want to focus on burnout because it is so worth talking about. Something I have so appreciated in hearing the stories and the journeys of some of our guests over the past two years is that their experience with burnout provided such an invaluable doorway to their success. I’ve found that oftentimes, the burnout experience can create a no looking back, opportunity to break through, to turn a corner, to start a new chapter, and ultimately to pave the way for success. I think that's why I've created such a beautiful, surrendered experience for myself with reaching burnout, but also being with clients when they're in their moments of burnout or breakdown. So listen to this episode to hear how you can focus your efforts to avoid giver burnout and cultivate more energy all the while prioritizing your own ambition and intentions.     Topics: Catherine’s first experience with burnout while she was a student, volunteering in the Peace Corps and and working and how she’s taken lessons learned from this into her coaching practice  The two types of giver burnout – physical/well-being and relationship – and being mindful of the energy and relationships you may be attracting The importance of receiving positive feedback and seeing the impact of your efforts so that you don’t feel taken advantage of and exhausted as a giver The difference between "other-ish" and "selfless" givers and where to focus your efforts to avoid burnout while managing your ambition    Episode Resources: Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success by Adam Grant   Connect with Catherine: Apply to join the free Unbounded community, a vibrant group of empathpreneurs who are passionate about supporting each other on our entrepreneurial journeys.  Website LinkedIn Instagram YouTube Sign up to receive my weekly digest on empathic entrepreneurship and hear from voices committed to spreading this message, sent straight to your inbox every Friday since 2016, here.    Work with Catherine: Interested in working 1:1 with a certified coach on Catherine’s team, or joining her in one of her premium mastermind programs?

    The Prosperous Empath’s Edge: The Ultimate Key for Empaths to Succeed

    I’ve been reflecting on my journey of growing my business as an empath and came across an interesting question: What sets apart empathpreneurs who prosper from those who fail? The hard truth is that empaths are not always successful. They have a tendency to give too much, sustain their business with self-sacrifice, and burn out. But what I noticed is that empathpreneurs who succeed always have a breakthrough in their capacity to receive. They’re the ones being vulnerable and asking for help when they need it instead of trying to do everything by themselves. So, how do you become better at receiving both in your personal relationships and at work? I’m sharing my best strategies on this episode of The Prosperous Empath®.   Topics: The idea that empaths have to use different strategies and approaches to grow their business than non-empaths and how to use your empathic tendencies to your advantage The one seemingly-simple reason why some empaths fail and others prosper (backed by research)  Catherine’s best strategies to ask for help more directly, simply, and openheartedly  Cultivating self-honor, getting clear on what you need, and becoming a prosperous giver  Episode Resources: Give and Take by Adam Grant Connect with Catherine: Apply to join the free Unbounded community, a vibrant group of empathpreneurs who are passionate about supporting each other on our entrepreneurial journeys.  Website LinkedIn Instagram YouTube Sign up to receive my weekly digest on empathic entrepreneurship and hear from voices committed to spreading this message, sent straight to your inbox every Friday since 2016, here.    Work with Catherine: Interested in working 1:1 with a certified coach on Catherine’s team, or joining her in one of her premium mastermind programs?

    Embracing Spaciousness: The Transformative Power of Slowing Down

    In this solo episode, I’m continuing the series on the foundational conversations I’ve had with all of my clients - as well as myself - as an empathpreneur. Many people talk about self-care and taking time to rest, but the truth is that it’s not easy to slow down. When things are going well in life and business, you may want to lean into that and pack your agenda with even more exciting things to do. In turn, when you find yourself in a bit of a slump, slowing down is challenging because you feel undeserving of resting. I’ve been there, and I’m focusing this episode on the importance of cultivating space in your schedule. I hope that after you finish listening, you’ll feel inspired to build a spacious life because it’s a gift that keeps on giving.    Topics: Catherine’s personal experience with workaholism, constantly getting sick, and making the commitment to honor herself & her spacious schedule Recognizing negative patterns such as time scarcity and false urgency to overcome chronic overwhelm  The idea that you need to slow down in order to speed up Getting to the root cause of why you need to always stay busy  How to cultivate spaciousness in both your mind and schedule    Connect with Catherine: Apply to join the free Unbounded community, a vibrant group of empathpreneurs who are passionate about supporting each other on our entrepreneurial journeys.  Website LinkedIn Instagram YouTube Sign up to receive my weekly digest on empathic entrepreneurship and hear from voices committed to spreading this message, sent straight to your inbox every Friday since 2016, here.    Work with Catherine: Interested in working 1:1 with a certified coach on Catherine’s team, or joining her in one of her premium mastermind programs?

    Balancing Being and Doing for Embodied Success as an Empathpreneur

    As you’re listening to this episode, I’ll be on maternity leave learning to take care of our new baby which is just wild to think about. But, as I prepare for my leave, I have been thinking about what I want to share with you during that time. What am I wanting to bring more voice and power to? What has been really speaking to me is that I want to share more about some of the mindset work that I do with clients because I want you to have a little more access to some of the power and transformation that coaching can open up regardless of wherever you are on your own journey. So these next couple of solo episodes will dive into a different facet of this work that I love. Starting with this idea of “being” and “doing”. As an ambitious empath, I've come to deeply appreciate the importance of balancing being and doing in my entrepreneurial journey. I've learned that overemphasizing doing can lead to disconnection from our intuitive wisdom and emotional intelligence. By grounding in our essential being, we can tap into our creative potential, make more intentional choices, and experience more joy and fulfillment in our lives. Throughout this episode, I’m sharing six practices you can implement today to strengthen the muscle of balancing being and doing in entrepreneurship. I hope they’re helpful for you!    Topics: Why the words “being” and “doing” have come to represent the essence of Catherine’s work as a coach and is at the core of her own journey of healing, growth, and transformation How hyperfocusing on on doing can more viscerally impact empaths and HSPs in a negative way because we aren’t leveraging our gifts Overcoming our unwillingness to sit with the fear we feel when we try something new and instead slowing down and meeting our own emotions for more calm and clarity  Six practices you can implement today to strengthen the muscle of balancing being and doing in entrepreneurship    Episode Resources: Leader As Healer: New Paradigm For 21st Century Leadership by Nicholas Janni   Connect with Catherine: Apply to join the free Unbounded community, a vibrant group of empathpreneurs who are passionate about supporting each other on our entrepreneurial journeys.  Website LinkedIn Instagram YouTube Sign up to receive my weekly digest on empathic entrepreneurship and hear from voices committed to spreading this message, sent straight to your inbox every Friday since 2016, here.    Work with Catherine: Interested in working 1:1 with a certified coach on Catherine’s team, or joining her in one of her premium mastermind programs?
