Bold Moves, Dubai life, AND Inside the mind of a High Achieving People Pleaser with Dr Katherine Iscoe

Listen "Bold Moves, Dubai life, AND Inside the mind of a High Achieving People Pleaser with Dr Katherine Iscoe"

Episode Synopsis


In this episode, I’m joined by my fabulous friend Dr Katherine Iscoe – leadership expert, speaker, board member, and (as she puts it) a recovering high-achieving people pleaser (HAPP) – all the way from her brand new home in Dubai.
We chat about what it really takes to start again: ✨ Letting go of the imaginary critics ✨ Embracing the 20% of life that’s always going to feel frustrating ✨ And why ‘hope is not a strategy’ when you’re building the life you want to live
Kat also shares with us a big, bold vision for herself, the reason behind her move to Dubai, and HOW she is going about making her dreams come true (yes, even with that high-achieving, people-pleaser in her ear).  
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I allowed to want something different?” – this one’s for you.
Our careers, leadership (and lives) are like rollercoasters, and sometimes the bravest thing we can do is choose the next loop ourselves.
I can’t wait for you to listen in on this conversation!
