Welcome to Episode 132 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast, we talk with mindset coach and consultant Karen Calder whose 30-year career includes a vice presidential position with a Fortune One company where she headed training and development, leadership and change. When Karen realized this wasn’t the life she wanted — or the legacy she wanted to leave — she started her own coaching and consulting business. Her decision to become an entrepreneur and the obstacles she overcame in her journey reveal a resilience that we all need — especially in today’s uncertain economic environment.

Karen shares with us her secret for resilience — a message that’s valuable for struggling entrepreneurs, corporate executives who want to support their employees and anyone who wonders how to prepare for the next chapter in their life as they build their legacy.

So if you want to know:

• How to “work backwards” to achieve your desired outcome
• Why you should ask yourself, “What brings you joy?”
• How to create a positive mindset — even within a large corporation
• Why simple shifts in your thinking can help you identify and overcome the roadblocks to success and happiness
• What companies will gain when they build their human resources for creativity
