From the Corporate World to Coach With Mandy Lehto

#042 - Coach, writer and speaker Mandy Lehto shares her small business journey. Starting in investment banking, she changed career and trained to be a coach. And she now coaches perfectionists, people-pleasers and overachievers.After completing a PhD at Cambridge University, she worked in investment banking, travelling all over the world with her job. But she realised that she was a creative at heart. So she left her position, and hired a coach who felt that Mandy could also be a great coach.  So she retrained as a coach and also set herself up as an image consultant. Business flourished, she pushed herself, but it led to her becoming unwell. Mandy hired coaches and mentors to help her to identify her core values and zone of genius. She also went on womens' retreats, read books and met with healers. She shares lessons she learned from the experience. She also discusses being a people-pleaser and overachiever, and how these behaviours can originate in childhood.  Plus she talks about how to manage perfectionism tendencies. She shares valuable advice on charging your worth, plus showing up online, being authentic and vulnerable. She talks about her podcast which is called 'Enough, The Podcast' and the type of content she features in interviews and some solo episodes too. Listening to this episode, you'll hear how passionate Mandy is about overcoming perfectionism and people-pleasing.  I'm sure you'll get so much value from this podcast episode!Show notes and more are available on the My Small Business & Me website: https://mysmallbusinessandme.com/episode42
