Ep 122 How to Overcome Corporate Layoffs to Become a Successful Coach
On episode 122 you'll meet David Goad in a BF to AF episode.
David Goad, is a seasoned professional with a decades-long corporate career, mostly in the field of technology. We delve into David's journey from corporate life to pursuing his true passion and calling as a speaker and coach.
David shares his experiences of being laid off three times in his career and the different reactions he had to each setback. From fear to anger, he eventually realized that he had a talent for speaking, coaching, and entertaining others.
Despite hearing repeatedly from colleagues that he had missed his calling, David finally took the leap and embraced his passion after a pivotal moment in a nonprofit setting.
Discover how Toastmasters played a crucial role in David's realization of his coaching abilities and how he now combines his love for speaking and coaching in his own business. He explains how coaching not only brings him a source of income but has also become the most rewarding aspect of his work.
If you have ever questioned your own calling or wondered if there's more to life than a traditional corporate career, this episode is for you. David's story serves as an inspiration to recognize your calling and consider exploring new opportunities.
Join me and David as we discuss his transformational journey from corporate life to midlife fulfillment through a speaking coach business.
