What does leadership look like in the past, present, and future of your life?
In this episode, Paula Castillo and I are breaking down what it means to be a leader in midlife. If you relate to the feeling of standing in the doorway of the past and the future as you decide what you want next, you’ll enjoy this episode.
Paula is explaining liminal spaces, the Gallup strengths assessment, and how to better understand your leadership skills. If you’re looking to make a change in your career, up-level yourself in your leadership role, or step into a new leadership position, you’re in the right place.
Paula Castillo is a career coach based in Washington DC serving clients both locally and globally. After achieving her goals as an economist, she found herself disconnected and burned out. Through her own journey of self-discovery, she realized that finding your calling requires connecting the dots in your life and creating your own definition of what is meaningful. As an ICF and Gallup-certified coach, Paula helps clients find balance, well-being, and fulfillment by aligning with their authentic selves.
Paula guides clients in excavating lost dreams, embracing their uniqueness, and matching their gifts and visions with the reality of the marketplace. With her multicultural perspective and analytical background in quantitative analysis and qualitative research, including consulting for development banks and Fortune 500 companies, Paula offers a holistic approach that combines traditional coaching with mindfulness, wellness, and somatic practices. As a career shifter and a Colombian living abroad, Paula understands the challenges of finding one’s path and offers compassionate support.
