Quantum Change: Rewiring Your Life Without Forcing It with Cortney McDermott

Today’s guest on Your Partner In Success Radio is Cortney McDermott, a bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and transformational coach who’s redefining what it means to grow—both in business and life. With a career that’s taken her from corporate boardrooms to global stages, Cortney’s journey includes executive roles at Vanity Fair Corporation and The North Face EMEA, where she pioneered sustainability strategies, before launching her own coaching business advising giants like Google, Nike, and Virgin Unite.

A graduate of the London School of Economics and fluent in four languages, she splits her time between Italy and the U.S., bridging cultures while empowering leaders to ditch burnout and societal 'gold stars' for authentic, sustainable success.

Cortney’s books—Change Starts Within You, named one of Inc.com’s top reads for high achievers, and Give Yourself Permission—blend neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum theory with actionable tools to unlock confidence and rewire how we approach ambition. The last time Cortney was here we talked about her book Give Yourself Permission and I can highly recommend it. You can hear that episode here.

Her unique blend of corporate experience, scientific knowledge, and personal growth strategies makes her an influential figure in both business leadership and personal development spaces.
