In This Episode
In today’s episode I talk with bestselling author and financial coach, Victoria Sexton. We talk about how knowing what we really want can have a powerful impact on all our decisions related to money and our careers.
She shares how viewing ourselves as a “business of one” can make a big difference in every area of our life. This is a perspective I personally found intriguing and helpful.
Victoria also explains why it’s important for us to remember that personal finances are just that, personal and unique to each of us. The rules of thumb that work for some people aren’t the best approach for others.
And, be sure to stick around toward the end to hear how Victoria’s question when she was an ambitious analyst early in her career caused the Chief Financial Officer of a major corporation to “almost lose his mind”.
As you’ll find out, Victoria isn’t shy when it comes to asking hard questions and dealing with the truth.
This conversation is loaded with lots of good discussion about how to properly view money and our careers. And, of course, we talk about leading in ways that make our teammates more successful while building our own careers.

You’ll Learn
3 Fundamental Career Skills from Today’s Guest
1. Emotional intelligence
Successful employees and business owners need to know how to work with people in a way that is going to motivate them. Doing this in a way that produces psychological safety, not fear, is a skill that will benefit individuals and leaders in every stage of their career.
2. Communicating the truth with tact and discretion
Being able to clearly communicate the truth is critical to career success. And, presenting the facts of a situation with the appropriate level of bluntness is a valuable skill.
Sometimes “just telling it like it is” is the best method. Other scenarios require a softer approach.
3. Connecting people
Connecting people with the right people, resources, and projects to help them do their job well will lead to their success and yours.
