Why Leaders Need a Positive Mindset

Lessons for Leaders

Joanne is a change coach and qualified accountant and we’re talking today about why leaders need a positive mindset.

Joanne briefly recaps her career journey and how she recognised that she loved the people stuff but kept going with her original career path of accountancy. When she was running a women’s network she realised she could do this everyday but did nothing about it. Later she saw the benefit of coaching within leadership.

She realised she wasn’t being fulfilled in her career but was working on a mindset of keeping going.

She talks about how she re-trains in coaching and left her corporate career and set up her business helping people to realise how they can do more and follow a different path.

Emma talks about how often we can resist deviating from the expected path and how we don’t stop to reflect and re-assess what’s going on.

Joanne shares how we live a life of circumstance quite a lot of the time and it wasn’t until she realised that she was letting other people dictate to her about her career and what path she should take, even though she was frustrated most of the time and wanted to do things differently.

You can’t be at your best if you’re worn out, exhausted, unhappy. It just doesn’t work and Joanne found out the hard way.
