242. Why Traditional Business Coaching Fails High-Achieving Corporate Leaders

What happens when a successful corporate leader leaves a familiar role and suddenly questions their confidence? In this episode, Deb Boulanger and Farya Barlas talk about what really shifts when women move from corporate life into entrepreneurship. They explore how identity changes, past experiences, and imposter syndrome affect confidence, visibility, and growth. You will hear why pushing harder rarely works, and why internal capacity matters more than hustle. If building self worth outside corporate structures feels unsettling, this conversation offers a clearer way to understand what is happening and how to move forward.
