Constant Course Corrections - Jodi Hume
Monday Jan 18, 2021
Monday Jan 18, 2021
Have you ever wondered if there was someone you could call, in a pinch, that would give you excellent business advice without any judgement? Our next guest does exactly that!
After a 15-year career as COO of a growing architecture firm, Jodi Hume shifted gears and made a name for herself over the last decade providing on-call decision support and facilitated leadership conversations for startup founders and entrepreneurs throughout the United States, Europe and Australia.
In this episode we have a frank conversation about why some people create boxes for themselves that they can’t get out of when they feel they have no one to go to. We also talk about the keen differences between trying so hard to hustle that you burn yourself out. (sneak preview, we discuss reminding ourselves that we are our own Golden Goose, and if you really did own a Golden Goose, you wouldn’t burn it out. You would pamper it!)
While Jodi works 1:1 with a small number of clients, she also convenes roundtable conversations for entrepreneurs, and each week, and she co-hosts So, Here’s My Story… a podcast built from real, honest, business stories with poignant take-aways and plenty of humor. You can also find her at the mic as lead singer of her band, The Wafflers – and if you ask nicely, she might tell you about the time she one 1st place in a Truck Pull.

Thursday Jan 14, 2021
Have you ever suffered from Imposter Syndrome? If so, our guest today can help you tackle those feelings and move to a place of gratitude.
Kathy Taylor, of Herdwise Coaching, is an executive coach for women who struggle with imposter syndrome, overwhelm, or playing small. She finds perfectionism, people pleasing and proving hold them back from making a difference in the world.
In today’s episode we talk about how reconnecting with our body will allow us better control over our mindsets, and she reminds us that our bodies have a good memory that we should be listening to, especially in times of strife. By practicing new techniques such as gratitude and stepping out of our comfort zone in little steps at a time, we can expand our windows of tolerance.
Through virtual coaching or Personal Intensive Retreats Kathy’s clients get to play with horses (if they like) and learn to reconnect their body and mind so that thinking, doing and feeling are balanced and integrated.
