My guest today is Christen N. James, Mindset & Transition Coach. I couldn’t think of anyone better to talk us introverted business owners through what it means to self-advocate.

CJ brings us on her own journey of self-awareness about speaking and standing up for yourself. In business - as well as in life sometimes as introverts, we tend to please everyone but ourselves. Enter self-advocacy. In this episode, CJ explains what it starts and ends with.

BIO

Christen N. James (fondly known as CJ) is a Mindset & Transition Coach for individuals going through a professional transition, be it starting a new Business or new Career. She has a BA in Psychology and Certification in Solution-Focused Therapy and had worked her way up to a leadership role after entering the corporate world.

Once in that role, one facet that gave her great fulfillment was coaching her team on their personal growth and professional development to move up within the organization. After over a decade of guiding each person to confidently apply their newly discovered or developed skills to take on more challenging and fulfilling roles in their careers - while living balanced personal lives - something clicked for her.

She made a decision it was time for her corporate journey to end and started to will the Universe to get laid off… And it happened! Without hesitation, she returned to school to start her own transition into becoming a Certified Life Skills Coach. Deciding on a niche was easy because she knew that she wanted to continue helping people in Transition walk in their true Purpose.

It was during her own transition, which became a journey to self-awareness, that CJ started asking herself questions that she felt were important to address if you want to feel more fulfilled and she started to pay more attention to the importance of understanding Mindset.

Now, through the Emotion into Motion Model™, she highlights the benefit of finding balance between personal development and professional growth by understanding how much our experiences, emotions, mental blocks and limiting beliefs can influence our thoughts and impact our actions - ultimately how we show up in our Businesses or Careers.

She helps her clients take their Mindset from Struggling to Strategic, by overcoming obstacles like discomfort or navigating the stages of Loss, and get the necessary Clarity to approach their new path strategically through effective planning and goal settings, so that they get results that are aligned with their values.
