The Fight for Alignment: From Corporate to the Boxing Ring — with Sarah Cunningham [BEST OF]
Today we’re revisiting one of our favorite conversations from season one where Lucy sat down with Sarah Cunningham, an executive leader at AKQA and a winner of the Golden Gloves tournament at Madison Square Garden.
In this conversation, Sarah shared her inspiring journey from Ireland to NYC and the transformative coaching experience that helped her achieve alignment between her personal and professional life.
A lot has changed for Sarah since we first shared this episode, so next week she’ll be back on the show to give us an update on her journey! We’ll also be sharing a new coaching container we’re launching for our community this spring.
