Shoulda, woulda, coulda? Do you find yourself “shoulding” all the time? You know that tape that plays in your head… I should do this. I should have done that. My guest on today's episode of The Power in Purpose is author business coach, and Chief Soul Officer Shelley Paxton.
And it's one of my favorite interviews. Ever.
Our “should” mindset gets in the way of us doing our thing. And Shelley wants you to stop shoulding all over yourself.
After 26 years as a highly regarded marketing and advertising executive for some of the world’s most iconic brands (like Harley Davidson), Shelley Paxton opened the doors for her new company in 2018. Shelley’s mission is to liberate the souls of leaders and organizations by inspiring them to realize their greatest purpose and potential.
Shelley and I unpack how to slow down and liberate yourself from the “shackles of should”. This episode dives into how to become the chief soul officer of your business and your life.
She christened herself Chief Soul Officer and called the journey her Soulbbatical. This journey did more than change her life, it became her calling.
