The Inspire Podcast

Make Sure You're Climbing the Right Mountain with Tony Martignetti

Written by The Humphrey Group | Mar 26, 2022 12:00:00 AM

In this episode of The Inspire Podcast Bart speaks with Tony Martignetti, Founder of Inspired Purpose Coaching about why so many leaders reach a career peak only to realize they may have to in fact come down and climb a different mountain. Drawing on his own life experiences where he walked away from a prestigious executive role to reflect on his own journey, Tony shares wisdom he currently uses to coach leaders in many fields. He explains the signs that you may be in crisis, how to know if you're climbing the right mountain, what to do when you come off your first path, and how to start again. In this time of the Great Resignation and career disruption Tony's advice is helpful when you know something isn't working but don't want to jump at the next thing without knowing where you're headed.
