E15: Marisa Thomas - Part 1: My Career Turning Point

I’m so excited for today’s guest y’all! I’ve got Marisa Thomas in the house today! Now, if you don’t already know Marisa, she’s one of the most inspiring and relatable women I’ve ever met. I am so convinced that you’ll feel the same way, I’ve decided not to edit down the interview. Instead, I’ve made our conversation into a 3-episode series so you don’t miss a minute of her wisdom, and you can hear the whole thing! I’ve been anticipating this interview for a long while and I know you’re really going to enjoy her as well.

Marisa is the founder of DoorSeffect LLC, an author, an executive coach, and Rising Catalyst app creator. Marisa’s mission is optimizing the leadership power of executives and small business owners, and powering their purpose towards their BEST life in executive leadership.

With over 25 years in leadership - coaching the leaders of the future - she created a methodology that serves her clients to bring clarity and optimize where they place their energy, to thrive in life and leadership.

And to learn more about these concepts and methodology, Marisa lays it all out in her new book The Power To Lead; How to optimize Your Energy To Thrive in Leadership.

In today’s episode, Part 1, Marisa’s getting personal and sharing how she went from a terribly introverted child with a learning disability and full of self-doubt and anxiety, to a corporate executive battling depression, to entrepreneur and published author.
