Denise Harris, Founder of Denise Harris Executive Coaching, recently spoke with Julia Westfall on Hera Hub DC’s #UpAndOver Facebook Live series. Denise left her former career as a corporate executive in communications and commercial real estate because she was ready for a new role that reflected the next phase in her life. She places a high value on freedom, creativity and accomplishment, all of which she gets as a result of running her own business.
Denise is the creator of Mission North Star, a signature coaching program designed for women who have set out to accomplish a life or business goal, but need support or inspiration along the way. Her specialty is “excavation,” which means helping her clients identify the limitations they place on themselves and learning how to move past them. You can hear more about Denise’s approach and how she helps women achieve their goals in the video below.
We are also lucky that Denise shared some of her own words of wisdom from her entrepreneurial experience:
- Visualize your goals: “When you have clarity, you have momentum. When you know what that vision is, you can drive towards it.”
- Manage your fear: “Know that fear is going to be present, but don’t let it be the driver.”
- Trust yourself: “Don’t wait for others to validate your dream.”
- Keep a journal: “It’s a great way to get to understand who you are; it’s a great way to see your own progress.”
Learning to “Dance with Your Fear” is truly a gift. Listen below for more insight!
