Discovering your sustainable pace with Elana Robertson
EPISODE 32
Notes
On the podcast today I interview Elana Robertson. Elana is an award-winning performance and developmental coach and the founder and Director of foundher, dedicated to reformatting habits and behaviours that lead to sustainable success.
Elana launched foundher in 2018, in response to the emerging, urgent need to support founders, executives and leaders of change, who are using business as a force for good. Combining her corporate executive experience in strategy, innovation and leadership roles, with her empathy and thirst for knowledge, Elana has developed a coaching framework designed for change-makers that has sustainability at its heart.
Elana is seriously qualified. She holds an MBA in Strategy and Leadership, has completed executive grad studies in coaching and leadership and does ongoing research, study and work via Harvard University’s Institute of Coaching, the International Coaching Federation and the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainable Leadership.
In our conversation, Elana does some myth-busting for us around productivity and performance. We discuss how sustainable pace is the new high performance and the distinction and power of distinguishing between being and doing. Elana shares three things you can do today to move into being overdoing.
I’m currently doing one of Elana’s courses, called Sustainable Pace, and it has benefited my business and my life in general so much.
I invited Elana onto the podcast to share her wisdom as I know there are many burning out, or burnt out business owners like me who need to hear her message. I hope her wisdom helps you find new ways of being and doing in the world as much as it’s helped me.
