Welcome to Episode 111 of Building My Legacy.
In this podcast, we talk with executive life coach Gabrielle Matthews who believes the path to success lies right inside you — in your passion. She works primarily with young professional women to help them find their purpose: Why do they do what they do? As she explains, Gabrielle starts with mindset to see what you think about yourself. She then moves to the heart to ensure that your brain and your heart are aligned so that it’s easier to achieve success.
Gabrielle takes us through her “butterfly transformation” in which her clients move from the caterpillar stage — figuring out who they are and who they want to be … to the chrysalis phase where they determine how to use their talents to build a business and positively impact their community … to the final adult butterfly stage, which allows you to begin to experience your dreams. It’s a unique process and one that will be of interest to young professionals or anyone who is building their legacy.
So if you want to know:
- Why life is more than your achievements
- The problem with chasing what you think will make you happy
- How the fear of failure can prevent you from achieving your dreams
- Why your good stories need to become bigger than your bad stories
- The key to making your life great
