255: Can I really lead myself? the answer is yes!

Welcome back to another episode of the Doing What Matters podcast! I'm your host, Teresa McCloy, and I am thrilled to have Kathy Goller joining me today.

Kathy Goller helps people who are stuck, stale, or starting something new, to get confident about their strengths and clear about what matters most so that they can live with purpose and make a greater impact on those they serve.

With 20+ years of personal and leadership development experience, Kathy accompanies individuals and activates groups with deep listening, powerful questions, and creative processes. Based in Western New York and serving nationally and internationally, Kathy founded Teal Horizon Coaching LLC in 2022 to help others lead their whole lives with purpose

In this episode, Kathy shares her inspiring journey from feeling adrift after losing her job during the pandemic to discovering her passion for coaching and presenting. She believes that self leadership is not just about making intentional decisions but also about leading oneself according to values and priorities. Kathy's expertise lies in using tools like the CliftonStrengths assessment and the Enneagram to support her clients in developing their self leadership skills.

During the conversation, Kathy emphasizes the importance of self leadership in effectively leading others. She highlights a personal experience from her teenage years that had a profound impact on her own leadership development. This experience revealed to her the power of intentional leadership and ultimately shaped her career path.

Kathy also discusses her coaching business, Teal Horizon Coaching, and how she helps her clients overcome overwhelm and get unstuck. She introduces the concept of self-leadership as a core element in creating a rule of life. In addition, Kathy shares her plans for new offerings in the future and the exciting launch of a community where she and other coaches will be available to provide resources and support.

Join Teresa McCloy and Kathy Goller as they delve into the realm of self-leadership and discover how leading oneself can unlock wholeness and purpose. Stay tuned for more extraordinary moments in ordinary days, and make sure to catch the next episode of the Doing What Matters podcast.
