Big Self Podcast Episode — How To Use Executive Coaching To Stop White-Knuckling And Start Motivating

How I left Wall Street

Have you ever wondered how I made the shift from Wall Street to Operations, to Executive Coaching? Last week I sat down with Dr. Chad Prevost and Dr. Shelley Prevost from The Big Self Podcast and Big Self School to talk about my journey from Leadership roles in finance and healthcare to coaching today’s leaders how to have more impact and less stress at the office and at home.

If you have ever thought that managing your energy and emotions was a waste of time, or a sign of weakness, this 34-minutes is for you.

In this episode:

Some might say I had the dream job. I spent the first 10 years of my career on Wall Street, researching companies as an equity analyst initially, and later a client relationship manager and ultimately a wealth advisor. But in the summer of 2012, I pivoted. I left Wall Street to go and run a small healthcare company, as their COO for about six years before pivoting, again, to advocate on behalf of the private sector, as the business liaison director at the US Department of Commerce. You could say it’s been quite a journey, as now, some 9 years since I left my Wall Street job, I’ve settled into a role helping leaders be better, more effective versions of themselves, and helping them be the leader they wish they had had when they were coming up in their career.
