Kate Visconti is a former Partner in Technology Consulting at PwC and is now the founder and CEO of Five to Flow, a global consulting collective that helps individuals and organizations to find their flow and increase both happiness and productivity.

Like all of the CEOs that we’ve been speaking with in this series, Kate’s career hasn’t been a straight line. Kate started her career as a high school English teacher in rural Ohio, but to feed her curiosity and interests she made several pivots into completely new industries, continually building on transferable skills and overcoming significant challenges along the way. 

She had a truly global consulting career and achieved what many would consider the pinnacle of success. But she wasn’t happy, and days before going into Covid lockdown decided to go back to her passion and launched the collective called Five to Flow. 

In this episode, you’ll hear both about her journey as well as how she works with people and organizations, so that people are seen and heard, and how she helps people identify what is blocking them from getting into a state of flow.

She also references several books and resources, which you can link directly to here:

The Gift by Shad Helmstetter

My guest today is Alison Forrest, who spent years in executive-level roles in international finance, across Europe, Asia, and the Pacific. Today, she is the owner of Moxie Boss Coaching and works with emerging leaders to find clarity, gain confidence and their purpose.

One area that she specialises in, is helping people recover from the trauma that comes from being in a toxic work environment so that her clients can regain their confidence and go on to reclaim their mental wellbeing and their success.

Following a double Bachelors's degree in Commerce and Law, Alison began her career in Finance in 2003 as a Graduate at one of Australia’s largest Funds Management firms. 10 years and a Masters of Finance degree later, Alison gave in to her inherent “Wanderlust” and took the bold move to relocate to Frankfurt, Germany, where she delved back into the finance industry at Germany’s second-largest bank. A few years later, an irresistible offer to join one of the world’s most successful infrastructure investment banks came, and Alison found herself thrown into a whirlwind of Board Meetings, Board Directorships, team management, and responsibility as CFO of budgets up to US$2 billion.

After an overseas posting and 17 years in corporate, Alison decided to enjoy a sabbatical but in that time was consistently drawn to executive coaching, and began studying at the internationally renowned Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC). Now a fully Certified Professional Coach, Alison delights in helping emerging female leaders step into their power and embrace their Moxie.

Our guest today is Doug Dixon, CEO of Catalyst Cloud.

Doug walks us through how he has followed his gut along with his commitment to his own mental health to let his diverse interests drive his career path (or as he puts it, his 3 different careers so far).

Doug started out studying about different languages and cultures at university, then later he became interested in technology, and now he has brought those two things together to become very passionate about data and data sovereignty especially for indigenous peoples.

As CEO of Catalyst Cloud, Doug leads the first New Zealand-based cloud services provider that maintains all of its data within the country's borders. You can hear the passion in Doug's voice when he talks about the importance of having an onshore data option, both for national security reasons, as well as to be a good ally for Māori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Doug shares with us why he believes self-awareness and empathy are the keys to everything, some of his setbacks and how he overcame them, why your mental health needs to be the most important thing you look after and what should you be looking at to know you're succeeding (it's not what you think). And he might be the only CEO you ever hear to will tell you, "don't install work email on your phone" and that "work is never the most important thing".

You can learn more or get in touch with Doug via LinkedIn or learn more here about what Catalyst Cloud is doing to enable Aotearoa New Zealand’s digital economy while promoting the country's security, sovereignty, inclusion, and prosperity.

Melissa Lyons suffered a life-changing burnout, working herself to the point that she was exhausted. She went from being a confident, ambitious marketing professional, working an exciting but high-pressure firm to being unable to get out of bed. She fell into a spiral of working unsustainable hours, that was fueled by a need for perfection.

As she recovered, she learned that much of this was rooted in her own self-limiting beliefs. She shares with us the techniques that she learned to manage her mindset so that she could focus on growing her career and be successful, but in a way where she put herself and her mental health first.

I know I recognised some of my own behaviours and past traumas while speaking with Melissa. This episode may bring up some painful past memories for you. But after spending some time doing the exercises Melissa talks about, I can absolutely say that I’ve seen a difference myself.

In this week's episode, we are going over the 3 step framework that I use to determine if something is a Priority, or if it's well, just Important.

It's crucial that we are able to distinguish between the two, but sometimes the line between them can be a little fuzzy.

This is a good skill for both your day to day and in helping you to understand where you should put your focus and energy when managing your career.
