How do you navigate the storms in your life and in your business? Running my own business has been one heck of a storm so far. Entrepreneurship is by far, my greatest teacher. Some of the storms in my journey: → Started my career as hydrographic engineer: spending months at sea, mapping the seafloor. Longest I spent at sea in one go was 10 weeks. → Team leader of teams at sea in my early twenties. Leading teams in stressful circumstances, navigating storms (both at sea and in between people!) → Quit my first job to follow the love of my life to the other side of the world (Fiji Islands) when I was 24 and lived one year in the South Pacific (Fiji, Samoa, New Caledonia). → Raised bilingual French/ British, born in France to British parents. My husband is German, and we live in Sweden – I speak 5 languages: French, English, German, Spanish and Swedish → Existential crisis at 28 (what do I want to do with my life) and started my own company: ‘The Focus Bee’ to coach high achievers to reach their goals. → Host of the podcast: ‘The Focus Bee Show’, with 330+ episodes, and great guests like Jairek Robbins, David Allen... → Author of the book ‘The Magic of Focus’. → Written 192 articles (including my blog & third-party journals) → Received several awards: The Coaching Academy Coaching Award, Brainz top 500, Speaking Excellence Awards, Top 15 Coaches in Stockholm – influence digest → Coached leaders around the world: from solopreneurs to startup founders, project managers and CEOs on high performance, productivity, leadership and resilience. Coached in 5 languages. → Creatively expansive: play the piano, guitar, flute and sing; draw & paint; write fiction. → Messed up a lot. Failed a lot. Doubted a lot. That’s why I’m passionate about mental performance and resilience. ‘It’s not what happens to you, it’s what you do about what happens to you.’ Through all these storms, I spent most of my time being terrified and doing it anyway. Courage is my number one value. Are you dealing with a current business storm? Scaling, pivoting business strategy, dealing with burnout/ overwhelm, managing impostor syndrome, under-performing teams, unclear direction, lack of personal fulfilment because work takes up the whole space, pitching to investors & raising capital, starting a new business venture, conflict with your co-founders... I know what it feels like. I understand the stress and pressure. Let’s talk, Katie
