Caterina Kostoula: Crafting a powerful vision

Lancefield on the Line

Are you able to execute the vision you have for your life?
For many creating a vision is hard enough, to then take action to get closer to it can seem near impossible. But if you knew how to develop your vision from the inside out you would see that it is indeed possible.
In this episode I am joined by Caterina Kostoula, a vision coach and author. She shares what it takes to develop your vision and how to move towards it. She also shares her own obstacles she has had to overcome to achieve the vision she has for herself.
We also delve into how to nurture your sense of purpose, your grounding, your inner voice to help guide you. Far from being woo woo, this is essential if you want to lead a great life, including work, and leave a positive impact in the world around you.
“Vision is the navigational system that guides you through a fulfilling life” – Caterina Kostoula
