    In this episode of the Second Act Success Podcast with business coach and author Shannon Russell, you'll meet Risa Seelenfreund, leadership coach and founder of LightSpark Leadership. Shannon and Risa discuss how she transitioned from a corporate marketing career into leadership development and eventually built her own successful consulting business.

    After years of working in corporate roles and balancing the demands of motherhood, Risa discovered consulting as a way to continue doing meaningful work while creating more flexibility for her family.

    More than a decade later, she's sharing what she's learned about career transitions, transferable skills, entrepreneurship, networking, resilience, and building a business that fits your life.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • How to identify transferable skills that can help you make a career change or start a business
    • Why being good at something doesn't necessarily mean it's the right career path for you
    • How Risa transitioned from corporate marketing to leadership development and entrepreneurship
    • Why networking, relationships, and referrals are essential for growing a coaching or consulting business
    • How self-awareness, continuous learning, and resilience can help you navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship
