Leaders in Conversation is the podcast in which leaders share their life and leadership stories; the people, places and experiences that have shaped their values, beliefs, passion and purpose to encourage and inspire you to be even more confident and courageous in your leadership.
About this episode:
I had the joy of being in conversation with Febronia in a previous episode of Leaders in Conversation with Anni Townend. Since then Feb has qualified as a coach and much more, and contacted me to say she would like to share more of her leadership story and journey.
In our conversation Feb offers valuable insights into:
- Going back to Business School.
- Fantastic support from new peers and the marketing industry.
- The push towards and importance of accreditations from the Coaching Bodies.
- Building a business and launching exciting new services in 2025.
Feb’s three Key Encouragements to Leaders:
- Just do it. Try not to convince yourself of all the reasons why you shouldn't go. Instead, convince yourself of the reasons why you should, because you stand to gain so much more and learn so much more and meet so many new people. It's a fantastic experience.
- Be patient with yourself. Any career transition takes time. Give yourself time to enjoy the transition, the growth and the development. Be aware that the results are going to come in their own time at their own pace.
- Surround yourself with people who want you to win.
