About the Guest:

Meet Fleur Marks, the mindset coach helping leaders ditch burnout for breakthrough results. After spending over a decade in high-pressure advertising environments, Fleur made a life-changing pivot when her own health took a hit from the relentless overachiever lifestyle.

Now she's the go-to expert for leaders who want success without sacrificing their sanity. Fleur runs transformative training programs across industries and she's putting her hard-won wisdom into her upcoming book, "The Overachiever Reset." This conversation explores finding balance, redefining success, and why sustainable leadership starts with getting your mindset right.

Key Takeaways:

  • Fleur Marks' pivot from advertising to coaching was driven by her health challenges and desire to create a lasting impact in leadership culture.

  • Understanding personal motivations and re-evaluating what defines success can lead to a more fulfilling career and life.
  • Women's leadership programs address unique challenges for women in leadership roles, highlighting the need for balance and assertiveness in managing demands.
