Quitting, Trauma and Meeting Future Clients with Karen Goldfinger Baker

Karen Goldfinger Baker is an Executive & Leadership Coach who supports high-performance, game-changing giants in professional sports, technology, business, and leadership roles.

She is a Certified Sparketype Advisor from Spark Endeavors, Inc., and holds the Gateway to Team Coaching certification from the Global Team Coaching Institute.

 

Karen joins me today to discuss what inspired her to quit her corporate job to begin her journey as an entrepreneur. We discuss the challenges of shifting your mindset from being an employee to becoming an entrepreneur, Karen’s fondest memories of her last day as a corporate employee, and why she’s grateful for the experience she gained while working in the corporate world. We discuss Karen’s definition of boundaries and how that definition has evolved over the years. We discuss how letting go of toxic friendships and relationships can be seen as a way of respecting yourself as well as the other person and how you can end a long-standing friendship while staying grounded in truth, love, and kindness. We also discuss the ‘Game of Powerful,’ the connection between fear and love, and why Karen believes being fearless is equivalent to being loveless.
