Some snippets from the episode:

[00:06:33]
I am an executive leadership and high-performance coach. I’m also a speaker and a speaking coach. Everything that I do really falls within that realm of leadership, of speaking. And I have a podcast, a book that I just contributed to. So I’ve got a lot of things going and it all thrills me.

[00:08:03]
I spent six and a half years working for a large Fortune 500 company, working in leadership development. She says she felt like in that time, she lost herself being a new leader, leading peers. Stamp says she was feeling misaligned in the role and decided to get certified as a coach and start her own business.

[00:13:14]
I took this role not really knowing where it was going to lead. I just kept feeling that car. Once you build that muscle of doing something and you keep doing it, then it gets easier. You sort of have to be okay, being uncomfortable and not having all the answers.

[00:19:42]
I run this coaching and training company where I support leaders. Someone who was writing a series on peak performance reached out to me and said, hey, we’re kind of curating this book on Peak Performance Mindset Tools for Leaders. I wrote the book and just launched it.

[00:22:23]
The coaching industry carries a little bit of a notion around it. Some type of certification, reputable certification as a coach is required. Make sure you’re working with people that feel aligned and that you both understand what your goals are in the relationship.
