Taking Radical Responsibility with Zach White


Listen Later

Life is a continuous cycle of ups and downs. Your previous successes and failures don’t guarantee what you are gonna be successful and failing at in the future. You shouldn’t think that one success will carry you through everything you want in life.

What counts here is the strength of your mindset work. Work on it and you will get through life riding the waves of challenges.

Zach White is the founder and CEO of OACO. He helps engineers reach the next level in their careers and life. He works together with them to punch fear in the face while designing a career they love. The OACO Lifestyle Engineering coaching programs bring together the principles, practices, and tools you need into a complete system for engineering career success.

In this episode, Zach stresses how important mindset work is. Least we are fooled that past success is our only ticket to achieving more, we have to step back and think again. All his high school and college life and in his early professional life in engineering he was so good at what he does. But there came a point in his life that he questioned what has become of the once brilliant man that he became. And what saw him through was taking responsibility for the choice he made and working at it. It is about conquering that fear, breaking free from the shackles of indecision and hesitation. With everyone fearing at one thing or another he points out that there is no need to worry about not getting clients for coaching because, people, more than ever are awakening to the fact that coaches help them transform their lives. And only those who don’t add value loses.
