What happens when the very traits that make you successful in your career become obstacles in your personal life? This riveting panel discussion featuring coaches Alejandra Perez and Michael Graham explores the fascinating terrain of redirecting character traits from liabilities into assets.

Alejandra, a self-described driven optimist who reinvented herself multiple times across engineering, sales, and entrepreneurship, reveals how excessive positivity without preparation led to business failure. Rather than abandoning her optimistic nature, she found ways to ground it in reality while maintaining its motivational power. Her journey offers profound insights for dreamers who struggle to bridge the gap between vision and execution.

Michael brings a unique perspective as a retired police sergeant whose authoritative presence and problem-solving abilities were crucial in law enforcement. He shares vulnerably about recognizing how these same traits created disconnection with his wife and children at home. His discovery that the gentleness required for horse training mirrors what's needed in parenting provides a powerful metaphor for anyone struggling to balance professional strengths with personal relationships.

The conversation weaves through perfectionism, problem-solving tendencies, optimism, and authority – examining how these traits manifest both positively and negatively in our lives. You'll gain practical insights for recognizing patterns, understanding the root causes of challenging behaviors, and redirecting your natural tendencies toward healthier expressions. Whether you're a parent, partner, or professional seeking greater balance, this episode offers compassionate guidance for living more authentically across all domains of your life.

Ready to transform potential liabilities into your greatest assets? Listen now and discover how small shifts in awareness can create profound changes in how you live, love, parent and work.
