☕️🎙️Summary:
In this episode of Coffey Talk, Kate Coffey-Bacon sits down with leadership coach and former fintech executive Maggie Coulter to talk about what happens when life interrupts the plan. Maggie shares how a cancer diagnosis and years in high-stakes tech leadership reshaped how she thinks about courage, identity, and career change. Together, they explore possibility-oriented realism, the quiet weight of imposter feelings, and why small, honest shifts matter more than dramatic reinvention. This conversation is grounded, reflective, and deeply human.

Key Takeaways:

  • Major change often begins with an internal shift long before anything changes externally.
  • Hope is strongest when it is paired with honesty and realistic expectations.
  • Many high-performing leaders struggle with imposter feelings, even when they appear confident.
  • Small, intentional changes can dramatically improve quality of life and leadership effectiveness.
  • Slowing down creates space for clarity, self-trust, and better decision-making.
