How Breaking the Rules Can Make You Succeed

In this episode of STANDOUT With Darine, I discuss why a “linear path” is often a myth for high-achievers and how my background in engineering physics became the ultimate tool for corporate intrapreneurship. We explore the critical moment my doctor gave me an ultimatum to change my job for my health, and how building physical strength through weightlifting unexpectedly became the foundation for my mental resilience as a leader.

My conversation with Daria on “Standout from the Crowd”

Ever felt like you were “losing yourself” in a role that no longer fit? I share the specific strategies I used to navigate a career that spans from semiconductor patents to coaching, and why I believe that your health is the non-negotiable foundation for your leadership capacity.

“Your health is the foundation of your leadership capacity; when you lack physical energy, you lack the power to influence and lead authentically.”

Listen to the full episode below to hear how I navigated the “sideways” projects that led to my career pivot and why I believe journaling is the secret to untangling the tapestry of your leadership narrative.
