from Making It: How Coaches, Consultants, and Creators Build for Success · host Mirasee FM

Special "Business Revenue Leak Checklist" offer free at http://www.mrse.co/leak.Executive Coach Wendy Hood of Leadership for the Future talks with Michi Lantz about burnout, over-control, and why high performers often struggle to become true leaders. A grounded conversation on the shift from doer to developer.Guest Bio:Wendy Hood spent 30 years making the hard calls at Starbucks, Chipotle, Zoës Kitchen, and Barnes & Noble. She knows what it looks like — and feels like — when a leader is running the business and the business is running them. She’s been that person: capable, experienced, and exhausted, delivering results while quietly burning through myself to get there.That's the shift she now helps other leaders make. She works with directors, VPs, founders, and C-suite executives who are smart, driven, and stuck. As an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), She doesn't coach from a textbook — she coaches from having made mistakes like yours and learning what it actually takes to lead well at scale.Connect with Wendy HoodLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-moats-hood-pcc-7450199Website: https://www.leadership4thefuture.comResources or websites mentioned in this episode:MiraseeCredits:Host & Producer: Michi LantzEditor: Michi LantzExecutive Producer: Danny InyTo catch the great episodes coming up on Making It, please follow us on Mirasee FM's YouTube channel or your favorite podcast player.
