Always Business Class: Lara Nercessian

Always Business Class

Show Notes

What if the secret to greater success isn't working harder, but stepping away more often?

In this episode of Always Business Class, Steve Hui and Steve Pirie-Nally sit down with executive coach, mindset mentor, speaker, and Boss in Heels podcast host Lara Nercessian to explore the psychology behind high performance, wealth, and why travel is one of the most powerful tools for a well designed life.

Lara shares her journey from a windowless filing room to leading people and culture for 10,000 people across 14 brands at a two billion dollar company, and how a side blog she started in 2016 grew into a podcast, a coaching practice, and eventually her full time business.

The conversation explores the three habits she sees in the world's top performers, why "what got you here won't get you there," how subconscious money beliefs keep people stuck, and why spaciousness, intuition, and time away from the desk are where the best ideas come from. Lara also opens up about her annual solo planning week, her Live List, and why some of her best trips have had zero agenda.

This is a conversation about mindset.

About designing your year with intention instead of reacting to it.

And about building the health, wealth, and freedom to keep travelling for a lifetime.
