Cup of Jo: The Impact You Want To Make (Copy)

Everything we do creates a ripple.  And yet, we often wonder if our efforts bring about any difference in the world. While the answer is always yes, the more important question to answer is, "What is that difference?" or better, "What difference do we want to make?"   One of the reasons I refer to my coaching as integrative is that I believe strongly that tapping into our whole selves is the best way to bring all of our gifts forward.

In that spirit, here is my story about how I came to understand the difference I wanted to make (for my clients and in the world) and why it's so important that we are intentional about the impact we seek to have.

I had a great time speaking with Pauline Brown, host of Tastemakers, and Maryam Banikarim, former Chief Marketing Officer for Hyatt Hotels, about reinvention, identity and core values. They both have such rich and fascinating backgrounds as corporate executives, and it was a treat to bring my own experience and perspective to a conversation that touched on careers (especially those that span decades and chapters in our lives), family, priorities and evolving notions of success.
