From Corporate Stress to Career Alchemist: Qigong with Baiba Wisse

from Next Level You · host Toni Addinall

In this episode of Next Level You, I sit down with Career Alchemist Baiba Wisse to explore how somatic movement - Qigong and Tai Chi - can help us reduce stress, ease anxiety, and create a more aligned career. Baiba shares her journey from 15 years in corporate talent acquisition to launching the Career in Technicolor podcast, and how “moving mindfulness” became the energy management tool that changed everything.We dive into: practical “movement snacks” you can do during Zoom calls or between meetings, why sitting all day drains your body and focus, and how tuning into your body helps you tell the difference between normal discomfort and a true misalignment. We also talk about beta-testing your next step (instead of waiting for the perfect plan), bust a few introvert myths, and reframe productivity through nervous-system care.If you’re a business owner or professional who feels stuck, stressed, or stuck-in-your-head, this conversation will help you reconnect with your body, build sustainable energy, and take aligned action.More about Baiba:Baiba Wisse is on a quest to design her own dream job and call you up to join!
