On this episode, Kristin has a compelling interview with Emmy Petersson, originally from Sweeden, now working as a Career Transition Coach in Melbourne Australia.

Emmy begins by telling of her journeys around the world and how she learned that “You don’t need a lot of resources, you need a lot of resourcefulness.”

Kristin and Emmy then examine the question: How do we get comfortable with being uncomfortable?

-Where did we get the idea that things have to be perfect the first time?

Emmy discusses the 3 Universal Needs:

Emmy encourages listeners to learn that they do not need to do everything alone and she has adopted a mantra that she learned from a coach she worked with in the past.

“Whatever happens, I can handle it, with some help.”

Kristin agrees and says, “If you’re able to admit that you don’t know something, that is a far greater strength than pretending you know something that you don’t and you are just trying to mask that weakness.”

In learning to become more comfortable with the workplace, Emmy encourages: “Don’t put on a shield to go to work; go to work as you.”
