Most introverts have a great deal of empathy for others. The tricky part is knowing when your kindness has shifted into ‘too nice’ territory and you’ve become a people pleaser, overly-concerned with what other people think and motivated by fear. Alex Rudnicka’s entrepreneurial journey began when she made the conscious decision to stop waiting for permission and start cultivating the confidence to live on her own terms.
Alex created CEO Female Entrepreneur to help service-based entrepreneurs learn how to connect with their ‘inner badass’ and run a business that affords them the freedom to live the life they want. She mentors women all over the world, empowering them to follow their desires regardless of the circumstances. An experienced coach with a knack for transformational conversation, Alex knows the path to success because she walked it herself, building her company from nothing and overcoming a number of challenges along the way.
Today, Alex shares her experience sharing a room in a hostel after immigrating to England at the age of 21. She describes the AHA moment when she made the conscious decision to stop living in fear and follow her intuition, discussing how her work with ex-offenders inspired her career in coaching. Alex also offers insight around the value in leveraging careful observation and analysis to make informed decisions. Listen in to understand Alex’s challenges around online visibility and learn about her approach to selling from a place of genuine curiosity and care!
