“I think that having times in your life where you never quite know what’s going to happen, and getting through those times, builds a tremendous amount of grit, resilience, spontaneity and flexibility, and these are the things that I know make me partly successful today.” - Mitch Shepard
Are you experiencing burnout and overwhelm, and no matter what you do, you can’t seem to overcome or shift it? Today’s Finding Brave guest has powerful insights, strategies and tips for addressing your burnout and she is a true role model for aiming high, dreaming big, and being very brave around achieving meaningful goals in life and business. In this episode, she shares her inspiring story of taking a 12-month sabbatical across 5 continents and 23 countries with her husband and young children, including how she decided to embark on this experience, how they all pulled it off traveling for an entire year, the agreements they made beforehand as a family unit, how it changed her and her family, and how it helped her exponentially accelerate her confidence and business success.
Mitch Shepard is an entrepreneur, mother, wife, passionate world traveler, and executive leader. As the CEO and Chief Truth-Teller at HUMiN Inc., Mitch has spent nearly 20 years coaching and training some of the world’s top leaders across companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Intuit, Boeing, and more, and her specialties lie in leader & manager effectiveness and inclusion. Mitch is known for her straight-talk, candor, and realism in the way that she approaches business challenges.
Mitch’s story is a shining example of how we can grab the reins on our lives and take control of our own destiny. And as she explains, if she can engage in something like this that was so very meaningful and transformative, so can others. You don’t have to be rich or have things perfectly planned out in order to make it happen, and it doesn’t have to be something as big as traveling the world as she and her family did. The key question is: “What is the light at the end of your tunnel that you want to make brighter that you can start heading towards today?”
