How to Choose to Live podcast: Getting to the Heart of Doing What You Love and Loving What You Do with Special Guest, Dr. Mary Key

Ever worried that you might end up taking your last breath wishing that you had dared to pursue more of those big dreams?

How do we marry our skills with the passions that make our heart soar? Is it possible to incorporate both into our professional life?

And as leaders, how do we set up those around us to not only reach their highest potential, but to fall in love with the work that they are doing in the process?

In my conversation today with Dr. Mary Key, we discuss her decades of experience working with CEO’s as they grapple with the pressures of harmonizing huge levels of responsibility with a desire to fully live.

We talk about some of the pressures and opportunities for women specifically — issues like “Tall Poppy Syndrome”.

We talk about the challenges that are often more evident with men and those obstacles encountered by the high achievers.

If you have ever wished that you could wake up each day confident that you’ll be nurturing the “whole” version of you, this is one episode that you won’t want to miss!
