Karen Calder: Seeking Comfort in Discomfort
Karen Calder is a high-performance coach and has 30 years of experience running a consulting and coaching firm with a background in human resources, organization development and effectiveness.
In this episode, Karen and I are going to discuss a topic that all of us are familiar with: The idea of seeking comfort in discomfort. Having worked with Karen before, this podcast episode is definitely a joy to create.
From Karen:
“Talent is what executes strategy. So everything that we do around talent hiring, developing our talent, coaching them, giving people feedback. I really firmly believe that there should be nobody that walks through the front doors of your organization and not know where they stand.”
➡️ It's easy to get discouraged. It's easy to lose sight of comfort in being uncomfortable. How do you start with that?
➡️ Learning and growing from life’s challenges using optimism and curiosity
➡️ Control over the routines and the rituals that we've set up for ourselves, our lives and the people around us
➡️ The effects of meditation on mental health
