Susan Before Peacefully Ambitious CEO

Susan talks about her life before joining the Peacefully Ambitious CEO coaching program. You can see the full version of this on her "before" recording as Ep. 263 of the Joyous Profits podcast.

Many Peacefully Ambitious CEO clients are former podcast guests that volunteered to be coached on air on their Peaceful Profits Roadmap. This provides a unique opportunity to witness a real time "before" and "after" with our client transformations.

Below is a summary of where Susan was before going through Peacefully Ambitious CEO coaching:

When challenges arose, Susan relied on hard work, strategy, and outthinking problems to push through
While this approach had worked for her in the past, it eventually stopped being effective, leaving her in a revenue ceiling and feeling stuck.
She struggled to overcome a wall in her business, where growth had stalled for the first time in seven years.
She experienced increased anxiety due to the lack of growth, not knowing how to solve the issue.

Susan After the Peacefully Ambitious CEO

From Panic to More Productivity

No longer experiences the overwhelming sense of panic
She has stopped working on the weekends, which were previously dedicated to business tasks, allowing her to focus on her personal life
The time and energy she invests are now spent on more important tasks, resulting in greater productivity during the work week
By stepping away from work, she can return on Mondays feeling more focused and prepared to tackle her priorities

Freedom from Anxiety She Experienced Day to Day

The Peacefully Ambitious CEO Coaching helped Susan address her anxiety at a deeper level, improving her confidence and freedom in daily situations
Networking events she used to avoid and stress over are now activities she actually enjoys as the anxiety of them is gone
She learned how to regulate her nervous system on demand and uses it all the time during meetings and previous high-stress business situations

Being Authentic Unlocked New Opportunities

Trusted her instincts and was able to identify the right people to connect with at a large conference, which led to two major corporate opportunities.
An embarrassing moment where she cried while discussing her business with a top industry professional ultimately led to a more authentic and stronger relationship when she saw him again.
Learned that letting her guard down and being vulnerable didn't always lead to rejection
Tuning into her intuition was more effective for navigating networking events than a purely strategic approach

Enjoying More of What Life Has To Offer

A layover led her to a spontaneous, courageous, breakthrough decision she historically would avoid
By overcoming her anxiety she had a higher capacity to tune into her feelings and desires during her layover which led her to a Broadway show
Tuning into her wants and intuition enabled her to make this empowering choice.

Able to Set Clearer Boundaries, Communicate Expectations, and Demand Respect Effectively

The Peacefully Ambitious CEO Coaching provided her with different modalities and exercises to help feel, express, and articulate historically suppressed emotions.
Removing the filter of hesitation allowed her to show up more authentically and unapologetically in business and life
Practicing these skills has improved her ability to give feedback to employees and speak her truth to personal contacts

Raising Standards, Protecting Peace, and Stepping Into Her Power

She realized she had been underestimating the value she brings both professionally and personally.
Peacefully Ambitious CEO Coaching helped her recognize her capabilities and contributions, which had previously been a blind spot
She now raises her standards by pausing or avoiding relationships that drain her energy and prioritizing her own peace and personal energy
In business, she's revamped her outbound lead strategy to reflect her value and not compete on lower-tiered RFPs
Overall, the coaching has helped her see herself and the world in a different, more empowered way
