Show Notes
What happens when you walk away from a “dream job” to follow your strengths, without a plan B?
In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Kelsey, host of The One Up Project, for a powerful conversation on courage, clarity, and creating a career on your own terms.
From quitting PWC to working remotely across Europe, Sarah shares the pivotal moments that shaped her leadership philosophy and how she’s redefining what it means to lead without a title.
Sarah shares the mindset shifts and bold moves that helped her step away from the “safe” career path and into work that aligns with her strengths, values, and vision for leadership.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why Sarah walked away from a Big Four role (and what happened next)
- How finding her strengths led to career clarity and creative courage
- The leadership mindset shift that helped her show up with confidence
- What it means to “curate your curiosity” and why it’s the foundation of growth
- Practical ways to position your value even when pivoting.
Sarah Kelsey’s story is anything but traditional, and that’s exactly why it’s so inspiring.
Whether you’re pivoting, leading for the first time, or redefining what success looks like.
