On this episode of One Step Beyond, we are joined by Sarah Kuretzky Rossington, The Hardcore Therapist.
In this conversation, Aram and Sarah discuss her journey from teacher to therapist, and the importance of authenticity and resilience in professional and personal life. Sarah shares how her learning disability, once a source of insecurity, ultimately became a powerful tool in her professional development. This shift in mindset—from fearing failure to seeing it as an opportunity for learning—illustrates the value of resilience in corporate environments. Leaders who can encourage this mindset among their teams not only empower individuals to overcome challenges, but also foster a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. Sarah’s journey serves as a reminder that embracing vulnerability and authenticity can lead to greater personal fulfillment and stronger professional relationships.
In this episode, Aram and Sarah also delve into the subject of change. They discuss the complexities of change in the workplace; advocating for oneself and setting boundaries within professional power dynamics. They reinforce that real change, both personally and professionally, is an ongoing process that must be cultivated over time. Gradually introducing change into your professional ecosystem gives your colleagues time to adjust. Change is a process. Patience, consistency, and pacing yourself is key to long-term success.
