63 | Identifying And Leveraging Your Zone Of Genius with Jessica Lackey

In this week’s episode, I talk with Jessica Lackey.  Another guest that had an extremely successful career on paper with roles at McKinsey and Nike and a degree from Harvard Business School.  But what they don’t really prepare you for is the incredible pressure, competition and honestly obsession that is placed on someone (or we place on ourselves) in those roles.   For Jessica, that took a real toll on her health, both physically and mentally.   She realized she had to make a change.  So she looked at her unique skills set in operations and business strategy and combined that with her outside interests in energy and health coaching and has created a business where she helps entrepreneurs and leaders not lose their soul in their work.  So they don’t get to a point that she got and can grow their business in a healthy and successful way!More about Jessica Lackey....Jessica Lackey is a Business Integrator and Coach that helps individuals and businesses transform their results while reclaiming their time, freedom, and legacy.
