Growth begins when a leader stops trying to figure it out alone and starts building the support, the plan, and the mindset to match the life they want. Executive and career life coach Randi Roberts joins host Natalie Davis on Leadership That Shines to talk through her path from 30 plus years in pharmaceuticals, including a climb from sales rep to VP, to building a coaching business around her values, flexibility, and a clear sense of what she can live with.
Randi explains why she spent a couple of years building the net instead of leaping and hoping one would appear, how she plans her business each fall with a one-year P&L and quarterly check-ins, and why she thinks gratitude and curiosity are leadership skills. Natalie shares her own business planning detour, her case for work-life harmony over work-life balance, and the gratitude journal she created when she could not find the one she wanted.
In This Episode:
How to assess your risk tolerance and build a safety net before a career leap
Why the first months in a big new role can be the loneliest, and why not to do it the hard way
How a values assessment turns a hard decision into a clearer one
A simple business plan for solopreneurs: how you want the business to feel, a one-year P&L, and quarterly milestones
Why mindset is the glasses you wear, and how a simple morning gratitude habit shapes what you see all day
How curiosity brings your team along and builds trust, even when opinions differ
Randi also shares how she chooses to put her values on her website, why making more money lets her give more, and how she wants to be remembered as a leader: someone true to her word who lifted others up. This conversation lands at the start of Q4, the season when many leaders sit down to plan the year ahead.
