  • Resumen

  • Katie O'Malley, founder of Encouraged Coaching, shared her fascinating career journey from political science graduate to career coach and leadership educator. After working in political campaigns, nonprofits like the Innocence Project, and commercial real estate, she discovered her true calling in helping others navigate their careers. In 2018, she founded Encouraged Coaching while working at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, eventually going full-time with her business in 2022. The conversation explored themes of authentic leadership, workplace well-being, psychological safety, and the importance of aligning values with career choices. SOUND BITES: 1.

If they're able to." - Katie O'Malley 4. "We change workplace cultures, one employee at a time, one career path at a time, one team at a time." - Katie O'Malley 5. "Start before you're ready.
