In this episode of the Casa De Confidence podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Paul Larsen, a coach with over 30 years of experience with Fortune 500 companies.
We discussed the importance of finding our inner voice and intuition, imposter syndrome, the impact of toxic leadership, and the importance of responding rather than reacting in daily life.
We stressed the importance of embodying our values, self-compassion, and taking care of ourselves first so that we can take care of others. Paul offered advice on managing a toxic work environment and invited listeners to connect with him on his website and social media platforms.
