Throughout this podcast, we’ve learned about other people’s purpose pivots, stories of them getting pushed to take detours and eventually seek their role in this world. One conversation with a friend about my own purpose pivots made me reflect and realize that I too have a story to tell. This is what this episode is all about. I will be sharing 3 lessons from my first managerial position in a manufacturing plant, which allowed me to grow as a leader. I hope these lessons will help you as well as you pursue leadership roles in the future.

Tune in now to hear the lessons I learned from my first leadership role!

Many women, regardless of their age, usually face weight issues that affect their confidence and self-identity. Laura Hamilton, owner of Nutrition Now and founder of the Learn, Lose & Live Masterclass, doesn’t want any more women to go through the same experiences, which prompted her to start a personal mission as a weight loss coach.

She is now helping women in improving their diets the right way and changing themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. What makes her unique is her holistic approach to helping these women. She does not solely focus on the physical transformation. Laura also helps her clients think better and in turn live their lives better.
