Recovering From Severe Trauma on the Path to Reinvention and Achieving Career Success

Navigating the Career Path - Staying True to Yourself & Unlocking Success

SUMMARY 

Dr. Jim and Natalie Coulson discuss the importance of staying true to oneself and why anonymity is not a virtue in the modern world. Natalie works with entrepreneurial thinkers to help them find their personal brand, no matter if they are still in a corporate environment or have made the transition into their own business. 

They discuss the keys to getting ahead in the modern world and how people should navigate their career path. Natalie encourages people to stay true to themselves and to not be discouraged by the corporate world. With her help, people can find their own personal brand and make the most of their career.

She believes that getting their mindset right is fundamental, as it sets them apart from others and helps them feel better. Natalie has chosen this niche because it follows her own journey and she understands how transformative it can be. In the conversation, Dr. Jim digs deeper into why Natalie chose this niche and her experience with it.

In this conversation, Natalie and Dr. Jim discuss the differences between the mindset of a corporate employee and an entrepreneur. Natalie points out that many people in her generation were taught to go to university, get a job and do as they were told. But this doesn't lead to either happiness or success - especially not in expensive cities like Sydney, where houses cost 3-4 million. 

To be successful, Natalie explains that having an entrepreneurial mindset is essential - one that is open to taking risks and embracing uncertainty. This means breaking free from the constraints of corporate life and being willing to take a leap into the unknown.


Natalie and Dr. Jim discussed the concept of entrepreneurial thinking. They noted that it is not something that is taught in school and that it takes a certain amount of risk to embrace it. However, it does not have to be an all or nothing equation; it is possible to have a corporate job and still pursue entrepreneurial ideas.
