What Leaders Regret Most, Backed by Research

from Women in Sales Leadership · host Amy Evans

This one's personal. I'm in the middle of a pivot myself, shifting my business to focus on coaching founders and CEOs while still championing the sales leaders I love. In this quick solo I talk about the fear that shows up every time you bet on yourself, why it never fully goes away, and why that's good news. I share the CEO turnaround that changed how I see this work, the Brene Brown line I come back to, and the Cornell research on what we regret most.Key Topics:- The persistent role of fear in making change- Recognizing and accepting fear as part of growth- The importance of action in overcoming uncertainty- Amy's personal journey of pivoting in her career- Strategies for renegotiating deals and expanding business- The significance of self-trust and listening to your heart- Research on regret and the cost of inaction- The role of courage versus comfort in decision-making- Practical steps for leaders to embrace change- The impact of coaching and self-coaching in leadershipEpisode Chapters:00:00 The Courage to Change02:56 Facing Fear in Leadership06:01 The Power of Action08:53 Navigating Opportunities11:58 The Impact of Consulting15:01 Embracing Change and Growth17:48 Overcoming Perfectionism20:47 Taking Action Towards Your GoalsWork with Amy: amyevanscoaching.com/workwithmeBook your complimentary career planning call: amyevanscoaching.com/workwithmeFollow the show: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/women-in-sales-leadership/id1765026855Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0lnzIwlqDzxFTA4KllGfWW
