Kathy Caprino: Finding Brave – Navigating Change Without Losing Who You Are

Kathy Caprino: Finding Brave – Navigating Change Without Losing Who You Are

About this episode:

What happens when the career, business or life that once worked for you suddenly no longer does?

Kathy Caprino knows that experience personally. After an 18-year corporate career that took her to Vice President level, she found herself struggling within a toxic workplace while facing significant personal and professional challenges. Then, shortly after 9/11, and only a month after moving her family into a new home, she was laid off.

Sitting in her therapist's office wondering what to do next, she was asked a deceptively simple question: “Who do you want to be?” Her answer ultimately changed the direction of her life. She retrained as a therapist before finding her calling helping professionals create more meaningful and fulfilling careers.

Today, Kathy is an internationally recognised career and leadership coach, former corporate VP, trained therapist, Senior Forbes Contributor, author and host of the Finding Brave podcast. For more than 20 years she has helped thousands of people understand who they are, recognise their value and expand their success, fulfilment and impact.

Now Kathy is navigating another period of significant change herself, as AI and a rapidly shifting world of work challenge established approaches to coaching, careers and leadership.

In this episode of The Business Elevation Show, Chris Cooper and Kathy Caprino explore how we navigate major transitions while staying true to ourselves. They discuss identity, courage and resilience, why difficult periods can become catalysts for reinvention, and what it really means to find your power.

They also explore the changing relationship between AI and human coaching, what technology cannot replace, and how we can combine the capabilities of AI with distinctly human wisdom, empathy and judgement.

Join us for an open, practical and deeply human conversation about finding brave, navigating uncertainty and becoming more fully the person you are capable of being.
