198 - The Humane Startup with Ashlie Collins

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m so excited for today’s conversation with a beautiful human being, a client, a friend and an amazing mom and wife. She has made HUGE quantum leaps in her life and has made some bold moves to devote her career to changing the startup world and the sales world to be a champion of the mental health and wellbeing of everyone involved within the organizations she supports, as well as to really change the way we do sales to be far more ethical and inclusive.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ashlie Collins has over 15 years of sales and startup experience and she witnessed firsthand that the role of a leader is lonely and riddled with mental health landmines that affect every area of the business.

After serving as a 2 x founding team member, living through life after exit and launching a platform to self sustainability in Europe, there isn’t much she hasn’t seen or experienced the aftermath of. She founded Humane Startup, a coaching, training, and consultancy organization where she combines her in-field experience and therapeutic training to empower leaders to achieve hyper growth, be the force of change they want to be, and feel good doing it.</span></p> <p> </p> <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Show Notes:</span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[2:47] - Welcome to the show, Ashlie!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[3:58] - Ashlie shares how she started on this journey.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[5:40] - What is Gold Medal Syndrome?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[6:47] - The journey wasn’t always easy and Ashlie made a lot of discoveries about herself and others.
