In this episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Rexhen sits down with Dr. Irene Salter, neuroscientist, leadership coach, writer, and founder of Inquiring Minds. With a PhD from UCSF and over 20 years of leadership experience, Irene shares how her journey from academia and school leadership led her into coaching, how neuroscience informs her work, and the lessons she’s learned about building a sustainable, purpose-driven coaching business. She talks about her “castle” model for client engagement, the power of referrals, and her upcoming book Have Brain, Will Travel—a fascinating exploration of how travel rewires the brain and transforms leadership. Whether you’re an established coach or just starting out, this episode is packed with practical insights on building an authentic coaching practice, navigating uncertainty, and scaling impact the right way.
