Episode 213: Day in the Life of a Coach and Thought Leader

Feb 29

Have you ever wondered what it’s actually like to be a successful coach and thought leader?

In this episode, Karolina is pulling back the curtain and demystifying what a typical day in her life looks like.

Yes, some days bring the freedom and glamour of sitting on a tropical beach with a laptop, but it’s not an impossible grind, either. More often than not, it’s something in between these two extremes.

Now in her sixth year in business, you’ll hear an honest look at how Karolina balances her days, how she maintains healthy boundaries, and what her life looks like when she’s at home vs. when she’s jet setting around the globe.

The freedom to work on what she chooses, when she chooses, and where she chooses, is the ultimate gift, and you can have that too!

How Karolina structures meetings each week: the limits she imposes, the kinds of meetings she holds, who she meets with, and the different coaching she offers
The strategy side of her business: what it entails, and why it’s Karolina’s favorite part of her work (where her creativity can really shine!)
Being intentional about setting up your days so they’re most effective and how this differs while at home vs. traveling
Creating boundaries, reaching your human potential, and the difference between coaching (which is future-focused) and therapy (which is past-focused)

REFLECTION QUESTION

What do you value in your work and lifestyle? Is it the freedom of being able to live and work the way you choose? Is it the security of having a regular paycheck every week? Is it something in between?

“The biggest security you can ever form for yourself is working for yourself, because you're betting on you.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska

“Even if some horrible tragedy happened and I lost everything, if I had to start from scratch, yes, it would be hard, but you can't take away all the things I learned. And I don't really see myself ever going back to an employer because of that. And to me, that is the ultimate freedom.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska

“The difference between entrepreneurship vs. working for an employer is you're actually executing your own vision instead of someone else's vision. You're executing your own dream instead of someone else's dream. Because even a big company is someone else's dream. It's someone else's vision. And if you're working for it, you're executing whatever their vision is.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska
