S4 Episode 4: Inspiring Possibilities With Jessica Peters
Joining us on this episode of Talking Impact is Jessica Peters. Jessica is the founder and Chief Possibility Officer (CPO) at Wealth Coaching and Consulting. In addition, Jessica is a board member here at Impact Society and holds several awards for her not-for-profit leadership roles. Jessica introduces us to the four elements that came together to influence her path to becoming a coach; including her confusion about what she wanted to be growing up, the purpose she saw in volunteerism, and a traumatic brain injury. Amongst a whirlwind of challenges, she knew she was just getting started in her career, and a physical setback would not stop her. Since then, Jessica has built a successful leadership practice that coaches leaders of a wide array of individuals (eg. from teenagers to businesspeople, to retired folk) on how to transform themselves and their work into something meaningful. She says that by helping others find their purpose work, productivity and retention increase, and stress decreases. When Chris asks about the consumer aspect, Jessica tells us that coaching is not prescriptive, but about meeting people where they are. This a great leadership-based episode to watch if you’re searching for your own purpose!
