Why You're Not Taking Action on the Things You Really Want with Lisa Christoffel
What if the biggest thing standing between you and the success you want isn't a lack of skills, experience, or opportunity—but a story you've been telling yourself without even realizing it?
In this episode of the Women Thrive, Abigail Rebecca sits down with Lisa Christoffel, corporate trainer, results coach for leaders, and owner of Christoffel Business Coaching, for a powerful conversation about ambition, self-sabotage, visibility, and what it really takes to dream bigger.
After more than 30 years climbing the corporate ladder and leading global operations at Kodak, Lisa made the decision to walk away from a version of success that no longer aligned with the life she wanted. Today, she helps entrepreneurs, women, and corporate leaders uncover the hidden beliefs and patterns that keep them from reaching their full potential.
Through her own experience with visibility and her SOB™ framework, Spot, Own, and Bridge, Lisa shares how the stories we carry from childhood and throughout our lives can quietly influence the decisions we make, the opportunities we pursue, and the goals we hold ourselves back from achieving.
If you've ever found yourself procrastinating on something you know you want, waiting for someone else to give you permission, or wondering why you're not moving forward despite having everything you need, this conversation will invite you to look beneath the surface, get curious about your patterns, and start taking ownership of your next chapter.
Because sometimes, the permission you've been waiting for is yours to give.
