Have you ever wondered about the connection between self-awareness and truly being yourself in business and life? In this episode of The Coaching Hub Podcast, I'm thrilled to be joined by Lisa Hopper, an ICF PCC accredited coach, founder of the UK School of Coaching and Self Mastery mentor, and best-selling author of "Truly You".
Lisa shares her fascinating journey of discovering her authentic voice, especially in writing her book, and how she learned to trust her inner wisdom even when it went against conventional business advice. Together, we explore moving beyond our conditioned thoughts and stories to find our true selves, and how this self-mastery becomes the foundation for genuine success in both coaching and entrepreneurship.
Here are the Highlights:
00:00 Introduction
03:26 Initially inspired by a colleague's desire to write a book
08:28 Breaking familiar patterns to create change
12:49 Change takes time and isn't immediately visible
15:52 Take action without waiting for the perfect feeling
20:27 Experiment independently; question and reflect.
