433: When Shift Happens: Make Magic Happen with Kat O’Sullivan


Listen Later

In everyday life and in business, shifts occur that cause us to rethink, reframe, and pivot. Our perspective means everything when we face these shifts, and the opportunity is there to make magic happen. Join us to explore this topic with today’s expert guest!

Kat O’Sullivan is a bestselling author, speaker, changemaker, and transitions coach. Her new book is From Doubt to Do: Navigating Your Pathway to Possibility. She believes that when shift happens, it’s time to make magic happen. In this episode, we dive into the growth opportunities when shift happens and how to establish a framework for embracing shift instead of resisting it. With over 25 years of experience in driving personal and organizational transformation, Kat brings her expertise forward in everything she does. 

Show Highlights:

  • The facts about shift:
  • Shift happens, whether it happens TO us or BECAUSE of our choices.
  • Magic CAN happen in shift, but only when we embrace disruption as a BFF.
  • Kat’s intentional use of “shift” instead of “change”
  • A new perspective on disruption
  • Two questions to ask when shift happens:
  • “What if it IS possible?”
  • “What am I not seeing YET?”
  • Kat’s motivation to write From Doubt to Do: Navigating Your Pathway to Possibility
  • The importance of having a WHY in making a decision (like packing up and moving to Mexico!)
  • Kat’s 4 C’s Framework: Courage, Clarity, Commitment, and Capacity
  • Kat’s personal experience in walking through the 4 C’s in moving to Mexico
  • Understanding what it means to “learn into the future”
  • A key takeaway from Kat: “What if impossible is just a story you are telling yourself?”
