In this episode Beth hosts a 1:1 coaching session with Claire Owen. For many years Claire thought of alcohol as a release, drinking 10 bottles of wine a week. She enjoyed a party lifestyle but felt trapped in a vicious cycle of drink-regret-repeat. After losing her friend to alcohol at the age of 52, Claire had a lightbulb moment and decided it was time to take action however she struggled with society's portrayal of alcohol as synonymous with having fun. Having experienced for herself the benefits of being sober, Claire is optimistic in turning the tide of popular opinion – to dispel the idea that sober is boring, that we deserve alcohol as a treat & that we need it to cope with our busy lives. She now helps others to reframe their perception of alcohol & to help them to discover healthier alternatives.

Beth and Claire discuss the pain points in Claire's business and where she feels most challenged, where Claire should seek media and PR opportunities, actionable changes Claire can make immediately, and a reminder that it's important to celebrate the big and small wins!

Beth goes behind the spotlight with Danielle Slagel. From Fortune 500 to Global, VP at a tech startup to entrepreneur, she resigned from a multi six-figure role, reporting directly to the CEO - because it left her feeling empty. Danielle knew she needed to do more and knew she deserved better. Problem? She had no idea what IT was but began taking imperfect action in order to help women run more profitable businesses through sales, strategy, and operations.

Beth and Danielle discuss:

• Vulnerability and credibility
• Skills and knowledge she learned from her tech startup job that she still uses today in her own business
• Investing into your business with strategy
• Why the inner-work is so important
• Being resourceful
• Getting out of the "if, then" or "when this, then this" mentality
• And more!

Danielle believes women are innate salespeople! Through building relationships, listening, and seeking to understand what's missing, we just need to believe in our ability! As women we must show up and let others know our strengths and why they need our product/service. It's freeing to embrace the simplicity of sales, which is relationship building.
