In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we meet Beste Ozer Tezcan, a talent development and leadership coach who left a successful HR career at Google to start her own practice. Beste shares her journey of feeling "powerless" within the large corporate system, which inspired her to help others avoid a similar fate. Driven by her own experiences with burnout, misalignment, and the "autopilot" nature of corporate life, she now focuses on helping mid-career tech professionals and teams navigate change, uncertainty, and unfulfillment to find greater purpose and intentionality in their careers.

Beste delves into her coaching methodology, which involves creating a safe space for clients to step back, question their path, and make conscious choices aligned with their true goals. She discusses her flexible, experimentative approach to one-on-one coaching and her plans to diversify her offerings in the coming year with online courses and corporate workshops to increase accessibility. With a goal of reaching a sustainable $150K-$200K in annual revenue, Beste is strategically building her business through LinkedIn content and community referrals while staying true to her mission of shortening the journey to fulfillment for her clients.
