E009 Interview with Barbara Reppert

In this episode, we interview Barbara Reppert, an executive coach at Executive Impact. Barb is a daughter, wife and mother of two, who grew up professionally in the corporate boardroom. She is a designated accountant, that once out of school, started with Deloitte and then made her way to industry and to the C-Suite. By age 27 Barb held the Chief Financial Officer role for the Canadian Division of a publicly traded multi-national. After 11 years of continual challenge and growth in this position, Barb went on to hold the CFO role in a privately held equity group that specialized in turn arounds and then went on to the Chief Operating Officer of a recruiting firm before making the leap to entrepreneurship. Leveraging her business acumen, boardroom experience and her love of people, Barb found her passion in coaching and is now dedicated to empowering others to make the right choices for themselves; increasing both their impact and influence. In this interview, we chat with Barb about how she got to where she is now and the challenges she's faced along the way and what makes a great female leader.   Connect with Barb, and check out her course and other resources here: https://barbarareppert.com/integrators-edge/   Books Barb Recommends: Influencer, Speaker & Author:  Brendon Burchard Books - High performance Habits, The Charge My personal coach is from his organization Favourite video of his:  What Do Leaders Actually Do Influencer, Speaker & Author:  Brené Brown Book – Daring Greatly Favourite video of hers is her Netflix Show - Brené Brown: the Call to Courage trailer Influencer, Speaker & Author:  Simon Sinek Books – The Infinite Game, Leaders Eat Last & Start with Why Favourite video of his:  TEDxTalk – Start with Why:  How Leader’s Inspire Action Influencer, Speaker & Author:  Dr. John Izzo Book - Stepping Up: How Taking Responsibility Changes Everything I have hired him as a speaker and he then hired me to facilitate his program on this for the AB Government Favourite video of his – 100/0 – 100% Responsibility/0% Excuses Influencer, Speaker & Author:  Drew Dudley Book – This is Day One I have hired Drew a couple of times and we have stayed in contact His TEDxTalk that brought him to my attention – Everyday Leadership – Lollipop Moments Influencers that I also follow – Tony Robbins, John Maxwell Other authors that I enjoy:  Patrick Lencioni, John Spence, Daniel Pink, Robin Sharma
