What if the person you think you have to be… is exactly what’s holding you back?
In this powerful episode of The Shift, Amy Pechacek sits down with transformational coach, business strategist, and speaker Charla Gervers for a raw and resonant conversation about leadership, identity, and what happens when we finally drop the mask and lead from who we really are.
For over 20 years, Charla has helped business owners, entrepreneurs, and executives across the globe scale businesses, shift their mindset, and accelerate their results without losing themselves in the process.
But this conversation goes deeper than strategy.
Together, Amy and Charla explore:
- What it means to live and lead “full out”
- How childhood, loss, and pressure shaped Charla’s identity
- The hidden cost of performing instead of leading
- How to reclaim purpose and influence without burnout
- The mindset shift every leader needs to make before they can truly impact others
- Why intention, not perfection, is the new benchmark of leadership
- And what it means to become the leader beneath the mask
You’ll walk away from this episode not just inspired—but equipped to show up differently.
