In this episode of The Leader U Podcast, host Angie Lion engages in a captivating conversation with dynamic leadership coach Lisa Foulger, who shares her inspiring journey of discovering her passion for coaching while navigating her 25-year career at HP. Along the way, Lisa experienced unexpected opportunities, which led to opening new doors for her growth both personally and professionally. Lisa’s story is a testament to the power of self-awareness, the joy in transitions, and the courage to follow one’s dreams.
On this episode, Lisa and Angie shared parallel paths of moving abroad with their families—Lisa to Costa Rica and Angie to China. These experiences provided them both with new perspectives on life, allowing them to identify core values, build confidence, and make intentional choices about what to embrace and what to let go of in their lives.
Lisa introduces her book, “Leading with Self-Awareness: Starting from the Inside Out,” which delves into the transformative power of self-understanding in enhancing our leadership and life journey and impacting those around us. The book reveals how leadership grounded in self-awareness can create enduring change in both your life and the lives of others. In her chapter, “Opening Doors to Discover Me,” Lisa shares personal stories of courage, resilience, and the unanticipated joy that comes with saying “yes” to life’s adventures. She wraps up her chapter with three insightful questions for the reader to consider:
What are you courageously willing to say yes to without knowing where it will lead?
How can you give yourself luxurious spaciousness in your life?
What constraining expectations are you willing to let go of?
Throughout the conversation, Lisa emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and encourages listeners to take the next step toward their goals, regardless of the outcome, while enjoying the journey. She also highlights the free Positive Intelligence Saboteur Assessment available on her website, a powerful tool to help drive awareness and intercept the negative thought patterns.
Tune in to hear Lisa’s insights on leading with self-awareness, embracing transitions, and finding joy by following your true path.
