What If You Were Willing to Fail? with Liz Koehler

What would you pursue if you were willing to risk failing?

After more than 20 years in financial services, including serving as a Managing Director at BlackRock, Liz Koehler made a courageous decision. She stepped away from a successful career to pursue work she felt deeply drawn to: helping others become better leaders and live more fulfilling lives.

Today, Liz is an executive coach and leadership consultant with RAC Leadership, where she combines her extensive experience in financial services with her passion for understanding how mindset affects performance.

In this episode of Her Life, Her Practice, Her Way, Liz and Tara explore what it means to redefine success, trust ourselves, and pursue what we really want—even when we're not sure we'll succeed.

Topics include:

• The courage to make a change, even when nothing is necessarily wrong.
• Why imposter syndrome can affect even the most accomplished women.
• How confidence often comes after we take action, not before.
• How our greatest strengths can become weaknesses when overused.
• Why rest is essential for sustainable high performance.
• The different types of rest and how to include them consistently.
• What it means to be both high-performing and human.

Throughout the conversation, Liz shares personal stories, lessons from her leadership journey, and practical insights from her work coaching successful leaders.

Tara closes the episode with a question worth considering:

Once I know what I want, am I willing to go after it and take the risk of failing at it?

Whether you're contemplating a major life change, questioning your definition of success, or simply wondering what might be possible if you trusted yourself a little more, this conversation offers plenty to think about and reflect on.
