In her first interview, Susan talks with executive coach, Caytie Langford. Caytie shares her story of walking away from the executive role she always thought she wanted after realizing it wasn’t what she wanted at all. They talk about defining yourself through your work and what that looks like when you do a complete 180. They discuss everything from starting your own business and how scary that can be to the importance of self motivation, self care, and techniques to bolster self confidence.

Transcript:
Susan Long: Hey everybody. Welcome to our second episode of how she got here. I am so excited about today’s show. Today, I’m speaking with Caytie Langford. Caytie is an executive coach, although that is not where her career started and we will talk a little bit about that. We will touch on topics such as the importance of setting boundaries and self care. We will also talk about self confidence as well as inspiring and empowering other women and how in turn that inspires and empowers us. Welcome to the show. I’m excited you’re here.
Susan Long: Good Morning Caytie. How are you?
Caytie Langford: Good Morning Susan. I’m great. How are you?
Susan Long: I am doing well and I am so excited to have you here today and I cannot believe this is finally happening.
Caytie Langford: I know. I’m so excited.
Susan Long: OK, so let’s just jump right in. Um, and tell us exactly what you do.
Caytie Langford: Yes. I am an executive coach and I specialize in helping ambitious, savvy women who just aren’t satisfied in their career.
Susan Long: And full disclosure, I know you’re an executive coach because you’re, my executive coach.
Caytie Langford: That is right. Yeah. What I do is I help women figure out exactly what they want to get clarity on that and we’ve worked to move them from where they are to exactly where they want to go and so it has been such fun working with you on this big project that you are launching.
Susan Long: Yes, and I really, I could not do it without you, but I want to go back.
