What do you do when the title is gone, but the work isn't finished? Lori Adams-Brown shares the origin story of Brava Global Advisory.
In this solo episode, Lori pulls back the curtain on the past year: the blank bio she couldn't write, the beach day that reset everything, and the Italian word that finally named what she was building. This is the story of Brava Global Advisory — and a candid look at what self-leadership really requires when you are the one in transition.
What you'll learn:
Why applying the Ikigai framework to yourself is harder than applying it to others
What running an executive search and launching a consulting practice simultaneously actually looks like
How Lori built a personal board of directors, and why she avoids yes-people
What Brava Global Advisory is for, and what A World of Difference has always been for
