329: From Compelled to Take Action to TEDx Speaker with Dr. Nicole Rochester

329: From Compelled to Take Action to TEDx Speaker with Dr. Nicole Rochester

Have you had an experience that impacted you so much that you were compelled to take action, to make a shift in your life, business, or career?

“Compelled to take action” is one of the core stories you can use to frame a talk (others we teach include crisis of confidence, paradigm shift, pin drop, and more).

This is precisely what happened to my guest Dr. Nicole Rochester.

Nicole was inspired to start her company, Your GPS Doc, after caring for her late father and witnessing the complicated healthcare system from the other side of the stethoscope.

Not only has Nicole channeled her advocacy work into her business, but she also does a lot of speaking engagements and panels.

Nicole was on this podcast way back in December 2018 (episode 98) when we did an on-air coaching call to help her take her personal story and universalize it.

She did exactly that, which led to her TEDx talk in 2019!

In this episode, Nicole and I talk about:

  • What she learned from that on-air coaching call
  • How she prepared for her TEDx talk
  • Why she decided to leave her career as a physician and start her own business
  • The mindset challenges she’s faced and how she’s overcome them
  • What’s next for Nicole as she scales her business and impact

This episode is part of our new podcast series called Use Your Voice.
