Natalie Norfus on the Art of Pivoting, Setting Boundaries, & DEI in Business

What if the key to leveling up in business (and your personal life) isn’t working harder to get everything done, but actually lies in creating more space for yourself? Wouldn’t that be amazing??? I had such a good time speaking to this week’s guest on the podcast, Natalie Norfus, about just this that we didn’t want the interview to end!  See, she has steadily made decision after decision to cultivate spaciousness.  I call this putting a demand on the Universe… It’s when you DECIDE and say this is how I want my success to look, then stick to that decision. The Universe figures out how to deliver what you desire through these new upleveled parameters. It’s amazing when this happens — you look back and think: I should have done this long ago. Why did I think it was impossible? Intrigued? Definitely listen to this podcast. Remember… if she can do it, you can do it! We also touch on: Letting go of perfectionism How to pivot when necessaryThe critical role of DEI in transforming workplacesThe value of cultivating beauty in one’s environmentAnd so much more Natalie Norfus is the founder of The Norfus Firm, and she’s here to share her incredible journey from corporate law to founding her own HR and DEI consultancy.
