Leader Journeys: From Sales Executive to Chaplain with Amanda Byrd

In this episode of Leader Journeys, I talk with Amanda Byrd, a former corporate sales executive turned interfaith minister, executive coach, and hospice chaplain. She offers executive coaching and counseling with a spiritual lens.Amanda shares her "non-linear" journey toward a career of more meaning and truth. She shares her experiences, her continued education to lean more into what was driving her from within, after a very successful career in sales.We talk about the doubt that surfaces as we move into a new career not defined by title nor salary. We have a little fun talking about birds, the beach and a desire to read more fun books.00:45 Welcome01:59 Amanda Byrd, the Experimenter03:53 Leaving Corporate Life08:03 Taking care to replenish10:33 Spirituality & Chaplaincy13:11 Finding New Support Systems14:41 Following a Long Career of Really Hard Work15:28 Self-doubt & Identity19:30 Advice to Others23:47 Experimenting to find your path Get full access to The Rooted Leader at aspiretogrow.substack.com/subscribe
