OTS 311: Chasing Possibility - Sarah Walton

Today’s guest knows that no one ever wishes they'd spent more time at the office or pines for work that didn’t inspire them. Her specialty is making sales fun as she helps women heal their relationship with money. She has spoken at women's conferences all over the world and has helped hundreds of women start and grow businesses they LOVE. She spent 15 years navigating the male-dominated world of tech. Along the way, she worked at Lifetime Television's New Media department, worked hand-in-hand with Marianne Williamson on her community site and digital offering—The Miracle Matrix—and worked at IAC where she managed a P&L worth hundreds of millions of dollars. She’s the voice behind the Game On Girlfriend Podcast, and she's known for her weekly "Sarah Uncut" TV show on YouTube and LIVE "Coffee With Coach" streaming video conversations on Monday mornings. Please join me in welcoming Sarah Walton. In this episode we discuss: her thoughts on leadership: “Leadership is anything that inspires action.” growing up Mormon in Utah and how that shaped her upbringing, and how she broke the mold of possibility. her being the first girl student body president in middle school. how she went from Utah to attending UCLA and living in NYC. how volunteering to build houses and tutor differently-abled children in France opened her eyes to diversity and possibility in her life. her first job in a bank and how she was offered the opportunity to build websites that later turned into a really strong technological skill on top of her English degree from college. how she was ‘coaching’ people on how to have great relationships with their colleagues before she knew what coaching was. showing her boss how to fire her so that she could become an entrepreneur. starting her business while seven months pregnant and in the middle of a recession. how she predominantly works with women although she has coached a few men. how she nurtures and sustains the outer levels of her network. what she’s looking forward to in the following year.
