I am also really excited to bring back a fabulous guest on the podcast who is a fellow coach and works with people in the area of change also.   Lauren Cobb is back and brings in her wisdom on this topic. I can’t wait for you to meet her.
    Lauren graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Harvey Mudd College and, while she worked as a civil engineer briefly, she soon went on to explore a myriad of other jobs. Eventually, she found her passion in working with people and teams to find the throughline from a starting place of discomfort, dysfunction, and conflict to a new place of connection, coherence and purpose. She has done this work in a variety of contexts including: conflict management, organizational development, business advising, and now as a coach.
    As a coach, Lauren is passionate about accompanying people through change that is occurring either by their own design or by circumstances. She knows the feeling of being stuck, limited, and overwhelmed. At the same time she sees change as the opportunity to choose something immensely more satisfying. Walking through that transformation with her clients is what makes her days energizing. 

    Highlights from this episode:
    (04:46) Embracing courage and vulnerability
    (09:42) What’s comfortable today may not be tomorrow
    (14:35) The value of risk-taking
    (19:13) Finding possibility in life changes

    The Value of Courage

    The Value of Courage

    I don’t know that we are constantly thinking about courage. Or sometimes when we are thinking about it we are usually thinking about people who we see are courageous.  I love this quote by Mary Tyler Moore; “Take chances, make mistakes. That's how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave.”  It’s so inspiring.  It takes courage to make mistakes, to learn, to grow, and I think we don’t give ourselves enough credit to how much we actually do this in so many ways. Today we are diving into the value of courage and what it can create for you as you take the lead in your life.

    Highlights from this episode:
    (01:56) Take chances, make mistakes
    (05:44) Courage is not without the absence of fear
    (07:52) When have you been courageous?
    (09:23) Mantras

    Vulnerability & Honesty with Lauren Cobb

    Now that we know what vulnerability is the value of being a leader and a strength, we are going to dive deeper into the topic and bring in being honest and what that creates.  We can’t be truly vulnerable without being honest about where we are right here and right now.  I am also really excited to bring a fabulous guest on the podcast who is a fellow coach and works with people in the area of change also.  Her name is Lauren Cobb and brings in her wisdom on this topic. I can’t wait for you to meet her.
