For most of us, the idea of making a major pivot in life or career can seem impossible - even reckless.Our social conditioning or lack of self-belief often points us to the idea that we should prioritise being responsible, or stay where we are due to sunk costs. But is there another way to look at making a big change?My guest today is challenging the status quo and offering her incredible insights on shaking things up, pursuing your true purpose and designing the life you really want.Ellen Hooper is an accomplished executive coach, leadership development business owner and co-host of the podcast I’ll Ask My Sister. Starting out as a lawyer, transitioning into HR and eventually finding her way to coaching, Ellen knows firsthand what it is to feel the ‘push’ towards the safe and expected path early on in life. She takes us through her journey of experiencing the ‘pull’ of her real purpose, finding the courage to pursue her dreams and the mindset change that helped get her there.We talk about charting the path to change by adopting an expansive mindset, and how asking for what we really need in our personal lives and careers is vital when making big decisions. With productivity being one of Ellen’s favourite topics, she shares her helpful insights on the significance of routine, understanding personal productivity peaks and the often-overlooked value of rest.She also shares her philosophy on leadership, where revolving it around integrity, communication and empathy can transform not just professional environments but personal lives as well.This is a beautiful and inspiring conversation on finding a new lease in life, leadership and personal fulfilment.
