In this episode, I sit down with Mary Kurek, CEO of Frontrunners Development and a woman whose life has been quietly shaping leaders across continents.What moved me most in this conversation wasn’t the scale of her work. It was the thread that ran through it.At 18, a simple act of gratitude shifted the trajectory of her life. A thank you note. A moment of being seen. An unexpected invitation that opened doors into diplomacy, leadership, and global impact. As we spoke, what became clear is this: what we often separate as “business” and “purpose” are usually the same thing. We just haven’t slowed down enough to see it.This conversation is about integration. Intuition. Access.And redefining success through ripple effects instead of recognition.What We Talk About in This Episode:The pivotal moment at 19 that changed Mary’s leadership pathHow slowing down reveals the values already guiding usThe difference between thinking and allowing thought to emergeRedefining success as empowering those who will impact the manyWhy intuition is a leadership strength, not a weaknessQuestions for You to Reflect On:What moment in your life quietly shaped your trajectory?Where are you separating purpose and business in your own life?Are you listening to your intuition or outsourcing your decisions?Connect with Mehttps://linktr.ee/cathydimarchosConnect with Mary KurekFrontrunners Development: http://www.frontrunnersdevelopment.com🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marykurek/
