Ep #144: Going Slow to Go Fast

This week on The Business Couch with Dr. Yishai, I had Tracy Cherpeski, certified professional coach and leadership development expert. Tracy is constantly coaching, consulting, running masterminds and trainings – including fun, interactive workshops – with small business owners, industry groups, government organizations, and corporations. Our Insight Sunday conversation was so packed and full of value that I just had to share it all with you in two parts! In Part 1, Episode 142, Tracy shares her story of moving through the corporate world and becoming a go-to changemaker, along with the challenges and frustrations of creating change in the corporate world, to finding her calling as a solopreneur helping leaders and organizations create powerful and impactful change.In Part 2, Episode 143, Tracy digs into what happens when entrepreneurs and leaders look beyond the horizon and dig deeper into what holds them back from making progress. She also shares how she helps entrepreneurs and leaders shift into creating more engagement, presence, and fun in their workplace, increase their bottom line, and create more fulfillment beyond just the numbers and financials at work.   If you haven’t yet, go back and listen to episodes 142 and 143 to learn from a mover, shaker, and change maker who creates huge returns on investment for her clients through lower turnover, smoother operations, and an improved bottom line–by the direct report of the leadership and organizations she has worked with. One of the themes that came up repeatedly throughout our conversation this week was the idea of going slow to go fast. So today, I’m digging into that and talking more about what it means and how to harness the “go slow so you can go fast” principle for yourself. In that vein, I will also be taking time to slow down and set up to hit the ground running – so the podcast will take a well-deserved break and return in September, kicking off another deep dive with Tracy! This episode is brought to you by Adaptability Coaching.
