[Podcast] Optimize your life for success


Hello Reader,

In this week's podcast, you’ll hear from Miki Maruko, a Performance Optimisation and Life Coach.

Miki helps high achieving women who want to optimize their work and personal lives so that they feel as successful as they look on the outside and have the time and energy to truly enjoy their lives.

Prior to starting her own coaching business, Miki had a successful global career in Corporate HR.

We go DEEP in this episode and talk about, among other things:

  • Transitions in her career from employee to coach
  • How engaging a coach transformed her life
  • Why she decided to become a coach
  • Being visible as an Asian woman
  • Balancing business and family
  • Advice to aspiring coaches and entrepreneurs

I enjoyed this conversation so much and felt like I was getting coached at some points!

I’m sure you’ll get something out of the chat.
