Lindsay Knowlton - Leaning into fear and discomfort

from The Lesley Hawkins Podcast · host Lesley Hawkins

For our guest today, two pivotal moments reshaped everything, one professional, one deeply personal, and both were sparked by the same choice: to lean into fear and discomfort and say “yes” to opportunity. The first began in a Starbucks, talking to a friend and a stranger nearby who couldn’t help but listen, gave an unexpected offer to help. What started as a single golf clinic became a passion project, designed to help more women say “yes” to golf. Today, that idea has grown into a company that has impacted the lives of more than 30,000 women.The second turning point was far more personal.This is a conversation about trusting yourself, leaning into discomfort, and making decisions through one simple filter: not wanting to live with regret.#pivotalmoment #golfSend us Fan MailLesley Hawkins is a keynote speaker with her signature keynote "The Courage To Define and Own Your Worth", workshop developer (The Leadership Mirror and The Leaders Table), leadership strategist, and storyteller who believes growth happens in the everyday moments that define who we become. Drawing on years of experience leading, guiding, and mentoring teams, Lesley brings authenticity, curiosity, and heart to the conversation as each interaction is an opportunity to define what truly matters.One question.
