Episode #7 : Carmel Linehan

Business: Sakura Thinking

Summary: Today Carmel talks to us about how she decided to leave a career she loved to become an executive and life coach to support others to achieve their career goals. She discusses how overcoming her own challenges has been an advantage in how she works and what tools she uses to look after herself.

Guest bio:

Carmel is the founder of Sakura Thinking. She is an executive and life coach, passionate about getting people unstuck, which often is connected to healing emotions and breaking thought patterns.

She helps people in a corporate setting who suffer from impostor syndrome to break through their fears and self-doubt so they can grow and flourish in their career. She helps people gain clarity on their vision and a roadmap on how to get there, including building confidence and resilience during challenging times.

“Sakura Thinking is named after the great Japanese Cherry Blossom tree that I fell in love with during my travels. The Sakura tree’s presence lifts people’s spirits, and they bring great joy. Sakura Trees are a symbolic flower of the spring, a time of renewal, optimism, and the fleeting nature of life. They bring hope and new dreams at a time when we are going through challenges and transitions.

I often come across corporate leaders and individuals who are experiencing self-doubt and impostor syndrome. Many are feeling stuck in their career, trying to cope with organisational changes and career transitions. Many identify with experiencing impostor syndrome or self-doubt which can lead to stress and avoidance, resulting in burnt-out, poor performance and relational issues. I have helped many to grow and succeed.”

reconnect with all parts of themselves. She is an advocate for keeping ourselves well physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. At the studio they have a full timetable that offers both mat & reformer pilates classes.

way of moving mindfully. Anam is the Irish word for soul. I am a

firm believer in the connection between mind, body and soul and just

how important it is. As well as teach pilates, I also facilitate cacao
