Episode 192 – Amy Polak – Time To Raise Your Flag!

Leadership and Leadership Development with Amy Polak    Many times, people working in big organisations get promoted to leadership because they do a great job doing what they do in a lower position, which is a different skill. Managing people and getting results from others is a whole different skill that they need to learn, and most times, they end up failing with the company not doing well as before. This often results from the disconnection between promotion, leadership training and execution. Leadership is a talent and skill, and it’s not about you but about the people you serve and those around you. It’s about how you can impact, change, and add value to their lives without expecting something back. Giving without expecting back is powerful. You might not see the results immediately, but people will see the light in you, and you will unintentionally become a thought leader, a person of trust, and a go-to person. As a leader, building relationships, creating an impact and becoming significant in people’s life is a big thing. Join the conversation with Amy Polak, the co-founder and owner of Entre Results, alongside her husband, Jared. In both life and business, Jared and Amy make a great team. Amy and Jared were both trained in life coaching at the start of their coaching careers, as they are both passionate about helping others and excited about others’ success. Through the journey of their coaching practice, they realised their clients needed more help with the business. This leads them to incorporate business coaching and life coaching into their practice. Amy’s passion for serving, focusing on others, and helping others grow is evident when you meet and speak with her. She co-founded a non-profit organisation, H.O.P.E, that gives hope and encouragement to women trapped in the adult entertainment industry. Amy also understands the struggles every solopreneur goes through and uses that to encourage and help her clients overcome the obstacles they face daily to achieve their goals and dreams. Tune in!
