Finding Your Voice
I'd like to introduce you to my guest, Ruth Coste. Ruth lives in the UK and spent many years as a journalist and in the communications industry as a whole before starting her own podcast.
Ruth really holds space for fellow caregivers to have a voice and knows firsthand the struggles as she's taken on challenges with her own aging parents. In addition to her podcast, Ruth has a health and wellness business as an Arbonne consultant and it was the personal growth she developed with this business that ultimately gave her the courage to start this new chapter.
Some of the key takeaways from this episode include:
1. You can’t serve from an empty cup. Make sure you’re taking care of yourself first so you are serving others from a place of strength.
2. The universe delivers. - what can you open up for yourself if you were to see the "opportunities" in your life and career really have perfect timing.
3. The lessons of entrepreneurship apply in all aspects of life. The tenacity, failing and getting up, negotiating, being humble, and having the drive to get things done - really just life lessons.
4. It’s easy to fade into the background and second guess yourself in corporate. But it’s up to each of us to find our voice to step forward and express ourselves without fearing what others will think. It goes beyond how you’re showing up in corporate - how is that translating to how you’re showing up in life?
5. Entrepreneurship is the greatest skill you can learn - In today's economy and job market, it can be the best path to a more happy and fulfilled life.
6. Take ownership. Taking responsibility for ALL your actions - learn from them so you can do better
7. Work with your energy. When you emit positive energy and you find that calm within yourself - you’re not just changing yourself but the world around you.
