From Corporate Burnout to Entrepreneurial Freedom with Author and Founder Leigh Burgess
Nov 21, 2024
Listen on:
In this episode of Dominate Your Day, author and CEO / founder Leigh Burgess reflects on her journey from corporate burnout to entrepreneurial freedom, emphasizing the importance of aligning her work with her core values. As burnout set in with her corporate role in healthcare, she realized the need to prioritize energy-aligned work. By saying "no" to what drained her, she gained the freedom to focus on projects and relationships that fueled her, underscoring how values should guide decisions, particularly in entrepreneurship.
Leigh shares her experiences with the support system that helped her along the way, emphasizing the role of family in her entrepreneurial journey. She also credits the guidance of a coach who understood the intersection of health, wellness, and business. Investing in herself, particularly through coaching, was a transformative decision that helped her shift from corporate perfectionism to a more balanced, growth-oriented mindset.
Leigh coaches leaders through her BOLD framework (Belief, Ownership, Learning, Design, Alignment). The framework encourages individuals to revisit their beliefs, own both successes and failures, and embrace personal growth.
