Level Up Life: Owning Confidence, Holding Boundaries

In this episode of the Resilient Kid Podcast, the host welcomes special guest Sarah Vogel, co-founder of People Development Associates (PDA) and an experienced coach with over 25 years in the field.

Sarah and her best friend David started PDA 31 years ago, focusing initially on a variety of skills but eventually specializing in helping leaders and managers handle difficult conversations. Sarah's extensive work experience includes training in leadership roles and volunteering, such as facilitating confidence courses for vulnerable women and serving as a school governor and trustee.

The discussion centers on the importance of confidence and communication, how parenting styles affect children's ability to navigate life's challenges, and the significance of establishing clear boundaries and maintaining open dialogue in various relationships.

Sarah also shares valuable insights into building self-esteem, fostering a confident outlook, and the benefits of connecting and collaborating with those around us. The episode is rich with practical advice for parents, educators, and leaders alike.
