Unlocking Your Potential: Overcoming Fear and Embracing Purpose in Career Coaching

In this enlightening episode hosted by Phil Askew, the ACT of Coaching explores the transformative journey of individuals seeking purpose and overcoming fears in their professional lives. Through engaging discussions with guest, Grace Vigeant, he delves into topics such as fear, stress, and burnout, and how these impede one's ability to thrive. The importance of creativity, personal growth, and aligning one's career with passion and values is emphasized, alongside practical tools like writing future-self letters. The dual role of coaches in both championing and challenging clients is highlighted to foster true growth and autonomy. Trends in generational work preferences and the significance of love and balance in careers are also discussed, making this a valuable resource for both coaches and those curious about the coaching process.

I help people design careers that they love — ones that fill their heart, soul, and wallet. I know it’s not easy to finance your life in a way that feels good and authentic to who you are. But I know the path I walked to do so, and it lights me up to coach people to do the same. I’ve worked with 100+ people to land dream jobs, raise salaries by up to 25%, heal and bounce back from burnout, flourish in new roles, transform side hustles into viable careers, and more. I have over a decade of experience in “get shit done” corporate roles like operations and project management, leading teams in technology, agency, and non-profit sectors. I’ve helped create everything from live events to digital products for millions of people. You’ve got a dream? I’ve got the skills to help you focus, plan, and achieve results. I have an honors psychology degree from Cornell University and got my coaching education at ACT Leadership / Brown University. But make no mistake—I’ve been fascinated with how we think, feel, and behave my whole life, because it’s at the very core of who we are and how we connect with others. I bring this formal education as well as my own lived experience to support you. I’m also a musician, who comes from a lineage of artists. I bring an innate sense of creativity and play to our process to help unlock the most true version of yourself. I surround myself with, and share examples of, people living passionate, secure lives, unbound by others’ expectations, “shoulds,” and limiting structures that make you feel trapped. I’m a native New Yorker living in Los Angeles, and I work with fabulous clients around the world. www.gracevigeant.com www.linkedin.com/in/gracevigeant/ www.instagram.com/gracevigeant/
