S1. E6. Learning from the Lows: An Honest Chat with Laura Vaughan

Laura-episode-cover-for-webpage.jpg

My guest today is Laura Vaughan. Laura is a coach and mentor to highly successful CEOs and executives. She works with them through her own practice and as a chair and Ontario Regional Director of MacKay CEO Forums. She is my coach and mentor. She truly leads with authenticity and a genuine heart. I think she has a heart so big that it can embrace anyone and everyone.

 

Some key takeaways from our chat include:

​

  • Small changes can lead to significant improvements.

  • Our life is fluid. Every season presents different requirements.

  • Success is and should be highly subjective. Know your definition of success.

 

I appreciate today's conversation so much for many reasons—one of them is how openly Laura shared her learnings from the highs and lows of life, especially the lows. I very much enjoyed our conversation and hope you enjoy it as well.
