Business Profound: Getting Real About Success

In this episode, holistic leadership coach Karen Tax clarifies how a scarcity mindset (the belief of never doing enough), can lead to burnout. She shares the three-part story of a client who transitioned from being a mom to a business owner, eventually suffering from burnout due to unresolved conflicts and power struggles. Karen’s coaching helps this client to understand and resolve unhealthy power dynamics and recover from burnout by shifting her thinking from a scarcity-based belief to one of trust and empowerment.

What is Business Profound: Getting Real About Success?

I’ve Been Exactly Where You Are Right Now

I know it can be difficult when you combine profit with purpose. How can you go beyond just focussing myopically on the bottom line into work that reflects the values of your heart and soul?

What are you supposed to do when you’re overcome by your monster to-do list?

How do you act when what you clearly see as the right thing to do is in conflict with other interests?

These are just some of the challenges I’ve had to overcome in my 30+ years working in corporations and as an entrepreneur, and it's the entire reason I launched the Business Profound Podcast.

I've developed a leadership framework called IAMX to help individuals, teams, and organizations align with their strategy, operationalize their culture, and through all of that, thrive collectively.

As a technically-minded person who is also unapologetically heart-centered, I've been inspired to develop many different tools to resolve some of the biggest challenges we face in corporate America. The Business Profound Podcast is my way of sharing what I've learned with you. Together, we explore and share real-world stories of leaders who are creating bold, new versions of success, and effective ways to integrate mindfulness & sustainability at work.
