For Day 18 of #29DaysofMagic I am so delighted to have Shamis Pitts, the Founder + CEO, Pitts Leadership Consulting LLC, on the podcast! We talk about her first job when she had a paper route at age 12! At the intersection of process, strategy and people management Shamis was generally at the backbone of someone else's happening, and had to take a step back to think about if the choices she made were really serving her, or just being the 2nd to someone else's vision. She loves serving other people, but when working for 80+ hours every week regularly, she realized that she did not have great well being for herself. Shamis talks a lot about what coaching is and what a good coach would do. The power of coaching is the neutral space a coach can create between you and your thoughts.
