UnYielded: Thriving No Matter What
Life doesn’t get easier. We get stronger.
When I was younger, I was under the illusion that life was supposed to be easy. That led me to believe that I was doing something wrong.
I was missing the inherent truth that life has challenges, life has adversity and life presents obstacles but those aren’t sent to us to defeat us or punish us.
They are sent to us to refine us: our strength, our wisdom and the beauty of our character.
Once I understood this, life FELT easier and I became better at surfing the tides of life. (Better, not perfect. I still wipe out.)
Life will occasionally knock you down. This podcast will help you get back up - stronger and better than before!

UnYielded: Thriving No Matter What
Success as a Trap
My guest today is a leadership coach who has helped many organizations thrive by building leadership skills among top executives across the globe. Alison Napier is a certified executive coach, human resources consultant, and the founder of Ripple Solutions. During her long career as a senior HR leader at a Fortune 500 company, Alison has helped hundreds of leaders and teams optimize their performance. In today’s episode, Alison shares her wisdom on coaching, avoiding burnout, maintaining healthy habits, finding the courage to pursue change, and many more.
Self-Coaching – Alison opens up about how coaching for herself was the first step of her journey towards overcoming all sorts of hurdles that came in between her professional as well as personal life. As an executive coach herself currently, she expresses how coaching from different coaches at different aspects of her life back then helped her as she was approaching burnout, negative sleeping patterns, and a couple of other negative habits.
Costs of Not Changing – When asked about her courage to go from being an HR leader at a Fortune 500 company to becoming a coach, Alison highlights her realization in the costs of not changing being too quick and high.
Signals of Burnout – Given that 40 percent of the people in the US currently are considering quitting their jobs and get a new career path due to burnout, as stated by Bobby, Alison states some of the signals of burnout from her personal experiences.
Whole-Person: Upon being asked if the tension and having a lofty goal were a part of becoming the whole person, Alison agrees and explains how important it is to figure out the lofty goal first since each individual has a different lofty goal and then go about working to reach the preferred, planned, and potential vision in depth.
Personality Tool: Lumina – Alison explains about the personality tool she has been working with in order to find answers to self-reflecting questions such as what are one’s strengths, potential blind spots, and how are these going to inform one’s bigger choices ahead of them.
