Description

In this episode, I’m joined by Chris Mitchell, a Business and Leadership Coach, Mentor and advisor who helps business owners and leaders to plan with intention, focus on what matters most to them, and turn what makes them unique into their competitive advantage.After years in corporate, Chris reached a point where challenging the status quo (something is was brilliant at) wasn’t valued anymore. That realisation pushed him to start his own business, using redundancy as a chance to build something on his own terms.We talk about unpicking corporate expectations, shaking off the need to work 9-5, and learning how to plan your way, not the way you think you ‘should’ do things. Chris shares openly about mistakes, overwhelm, vulnerability, and the reality of figuring things out step by step.It’s an honest conversation about pace, permission, and the bravery it takes to do your thing when everyone else seems to be doing theirs differently.What you’ll learn in this episodeWhy challenging the status quo is a strength - and how to use it wellThe struggle of shaking the corporate 9 to 5 mindsetHow expectations from others (and ourselves) shape the way we workWhy planning doesn’t have to be complicatedWhat to do when you feel overwhelmed or “spinning”Why letting go of what you’re not good at is just as important as owning what you areHow defining your difference helps you stand out and speak with clarityAbout Chris MitchellChris Mitchell is a business coach, mentor and advisor who helps business leaders and business owners to get clear on what matters most to them, and how to turn what makes them unique into their competitive advantage.
