Catherine is here today with Koren Motekaitis. Koren helps over-achievers become the leaders of their lives. She is a mother, wife, family member, friend, entrepreneur and community builder. Never a dull moment in this rich, full life! Her radio show and podcast “How She Really Does It,” where she invites guests to share their unique success stories and encourages her listeners to embrace their inner leaders. She has hosted the show for nearly 12 years and built an archive of 600+ episodes, including interviews with Brené Brown, Daniel Pink, and Danielle LaPorte. Koren is a Daring Way™ facilitator and Master Certified Life and Weight Loss Coach, personally trained by Dr. Martha Beck. In her ten years as a coach, she has helped hundreds of people release the shoulds and have-tos and build the lives they truly want to live. Early on, she was confident that higher education would be her ticket to success. So not only did she earn a BA from one of the top universities in the country—University of California, Davis (go Aggies)—she also pursued and completed my Masters degree from the University of San Francisco. She then spent 13 years teaching at Sacramento City College before switching gears. Swimming is a part her soul! She was a NCAA Division II National Champion, a Collegiate All-American, and inducted in the University of California, Davis Hall of Fame. Practicing and competing helped her learn about herself, practice courage and explore how to fail and persevere. Nowadays, she uses her passion for the pool to coach their local swim team, the Aquamonsters. Her radio show and coaching practice both focus on redefining success, reframing failure, and realigning your inner compass. Koren believes that when we truly listen to others, we can see what is possible within ourselves. When people step up to share the honest, backstage truth behind their success, the doors of possibility open for us all.
