In this episode of BizBlend, Sana talks with executive coach Stephanie Wachman about the moment her son ran to his father instead of her, and how that one afternoon changed the shape of her career. This is for anyone who has built something impressive and quietly wondered what it was costing the people at home.
Stephanie shares how she left a fast rising corporate career for a door to door sales job just to stay in one city, later built a consulting business from nothing while facing a cancer diagnosis, and eventually built her work around one insight, that most organizations do not have a strategy problem, they have an alignment problem.
About the Guest:
Stephanie Wachman ran a global division at twenty eight and has spent over two decades working with leaders across more than twenty three countries. She is the author of two books, Own Your Time and Sell Without Being Salesy, and runs a consulting practice built around helping executive teams get aligned.
Key Takeaways:
- Intuition and fear can feel identical. Ask yourself what you are actually afraid of before you decide which one is speaking.
- Most organizations do not have a strategy problem, they have an alignment problem, everyone assumes they are on the same page when they are not.
- Leadership decisions ripple through an entire organization, right down to what time a meeting starts and who has to leave home to make it.
- Action builds confidence faster than thinking does. Staying still keeps you exactly where you are.
