Podcast: Emma Weber on Crossing the Knowing – Doing Gap and Coaching with Technology

Many of our newsletter readers and blog followers know that I have a deep passion for reflection. It was a real joy to be asked to contemplate my career journey and how I ultimately found myself working with Coach M in the technology space.

I’d like to mention that this session was part of Andy Follows‘ special blog series, Career View Mirror, which is geared toward individuals within the automotive industry. Despite its focus, our discussion won’t revolve primarily around automotive topics, except for the fact that our very first corporate client happened to be in the automotive space. Remarkably, we went on to work with them for 15 years.

Nevertheless, the essence of this podcast is to share my personal journey, spanning from my school days to university and my initial steps into the professional world. It’s about connecting the dots and illustrating how each step in one’s career can lead to another. I found it particularly delightful to share some stories about incredible synchronicities and the invaluable support I’ve received along the way.

So, if you’re looking for a unique and diverse blog post to delve into today, take a moment to relax, grab a cup of tea, and join me on this journey. We’ll explore experiences in lingerie retail buying and merchandising, my work in the Middle East, the exciting adventure of starting a business in Australia, and the fascinating journey of launching one of the world’s first coaching chatbots. Enjoy.
