Nicole and I talk about how your foundational experiences might show up in your business and create limitations to your growth, especially when it comes to perfectionism and control.
Show Notes
You are not your business.
Your business is something you are creating, which means you have a relationship with it.
Like any relationship that we are in, the relationship that we have with our business can be complex and takes understanding, consideration, and work.
And as with our personal relationships, the ones that we have with our businesses are shaped by our past experiences, for better or worse.
We might have been told that we’re supposed to leave our baggage at the door when we come into work–we might even think we succeed–but that’s not how humans work. And when we ignore how our pasts affect our present, we set ourselves up to repeat unhealthy relationship patterns everywhere in our lives.
In today’s episode, we’ll talk about how your foundational experiences might show up in your business and create limitations to your growth, especially when it comes to perfectionism and control.
Nicole Lewis-Keeber is a business therapist and mindset coach who works with entrepreneurs to create and nurture healthy relationships with their businesses. She's a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters in Social Work and she writes and speaks about the impact of small-t trauma on businesses.
Her biggest, most important work is in combining therapeutic processes with business coaching to help entrepreneurs build emotionally sustainable and financially stable businesses.
