Work From The Inside Out 202: Align Your Core Values With Your Professional Life with Annie Leib
Annie Leib was born an empath. As early as her toddler years, she felt things from other people. She even found adults relatable. It was not until years later that Annie realized the other kids did not experience people in the same way. To be so attuned to other people’s feelings could be draining, yet Annie always enjoyed meaningful connections with people.
For many years, Annie worked in sales and business development for large pharmaceutical companies. She was married with two children, then Annie and her husband divorced. She was at an auto body shop one day signing her divorce papers (that's where she found a notary). On the wall, a poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson caught her attention. It was about breath. Annie thought to herself, you can strip me of everything, but you can't take my breath. Breath became the framework she created in her coaching practice a few years later.
After her divorce, Annie left her corporate role and enrolled in an executive MBA program, which was a transformative experience. Annie’s classmates encouraged her to become a coach, referring to her as the “glue of their cohort.” She had been doing some consulting work on the side, so Annie added coaching to her business, and it evolved from there. She earned her coaching certification and eventually changed her consulting business into a coaching firm.
Today, Annie’s sole purpose is to align leaders with their most authentic selves and unlock their ability to impact the world. She helps companies see that “when you take care of your people, your people take care of your business.” Her coaching has been acknowledged for the change it has created. Annie’s clients become “changed leaders that lead change.”
Her unique methodology is captured in her trademark BREATH Framework, which focuses intensely on identifying a person’s life purpose, value system, and core leadership traits.
In this week’s Work From The Inside Out podcast, learn more about Annie’s journey:
- Annie’s methodology is captured in her book, Begin with the BREATH.
