Being Courageous with Special Guest Franziska Iseli

Published on: 31st May, 2020

If you are an entrepreneur, you know that there is a lot of fear that crops up when you put yourself out there and build a business from scratch. This goes for other areas of life, too - we have to tap into our bravery when we make decisions that affect our families and might take us out of our comfort zone.

We could all use a little extra courage, right? This week’s episode of the podcast is just the ticket. I sat down on with the incredible Franziska Iseli to talk about courage and some of the amazing things she learned while writing her book The Courage Map: 13 Principles to Living Boldly.

She is an amazing person and entrepreneur, and we had a great discussion about skillbuilding your courage. We talked about whether some people are naturally inclined to be courageous, how to tell what your courage boundaries are, and how they can change over time.

About the Podcast

Women in the Business Arena™
There is no one right way to do business, there is just a right way for YOU! And many women in business are DONE with hustle, bro-marketing culture, and business tactics that are misaligned with their values.

Instead, more women are looking to build a business that honors their passion, gifts & wisdom.

If you are ready for a DIFFERENT way to operate your business - one that brings ease, challenges the patriarchal status quo, and helps you make a difference in the world (with both your business & your bank account), then this podcast is for you!

Sonya Stattmann uses her 21 years of experience working with thousands of women in business to facilitate honest, educational & inspiring conversations with other women leaders, business owners, and experts.

She also has regular conversations with our resident mental health expert, Laura-Shook Guzman, to tackle mindset, thinking, and the patterns that sabotage women’s path to business success.

This is a DIFFERENT kind of business podcast!
