Listen Later

In this episode of The Idea to Impact Podcast, Blake, a two-time best-selling author, interviews Hannah Kissel, a life coach who specialises in helping high-performing professionals discover career fulfilment. Hannah shares her inspiring journey from her career at LinkedIn to becoming a life coach.

The conversation explores the challenges of burnout, the transition to creative pursuits, and the deeply rewarding nature of coaching. She offers valuable insights into the importance of recognising internal pressures that lead to burnout and the transformative potential of coaching. The discussion also delves into personal growth, client success stories, and Hannah's aspirations, including her plans to write a book.

Key Takeaways
  • Burnout often stems from a combination of internal pressures and external demands, as Hannah experienced during her time at LinkedIn.
  • Transitioning from corporate roles to coaching involves navigating significant challenges, which Hannah overcame by embracing creativity and self-discovery.
  • Personal growth is a cornerstone of effective coaching, as Hannah’s own journey illustrates.
  • High achievers frequently struggle with people-pleasing tendencies, a pattern Hannah identified in both herself and her clients.
  • Creative pursuits, such as Hannah’s foray into writing and coaching, often serve as a path to recovery from burnout.
