14: Veronica Llorca-Smith on turning ”stuck” into a life-changing adventure

Shownotes: 14 Veronica Llorca-Smith

 

In this episode, Helen chats with Veronica Llorca-Smith.

Veronica is a highly accomplished professional, master of reinvention, and author of three Amazon bestsellers.

Originally from the Canary Islands and now living in Hong Kong, in August 2021 Veronica found herself stranded in Australia with her two young daughters, due to travel restrictions.

She used this experience as an opportunity to reinvent herself, transitioning from a corporate senior role to becoming a successful solopreneur. 

In this conversation, Veronica speaks about her approach to overcoming challenges and seeing 'stuckness' as an adventure, rather than an obstacle. 

Highlights:

• Feeling stuck in a corporate career: Realising there are many different ways to look at a career, rather than just as a linear path to the top.
• Building self-awareness: Veronica explains how having lived in a number of different countries has helped her to develop a strong sense of self-awareness
• The process of reinvention: How Veronica completely reinvented her professional life during the period she was stranded in Australia during the pandemic.
• Rewriting your internal narrative: Reframing all the negative stories you tell yourself that stand in the way of your success and making progress.
• Becoming a solopreneur: Veronica explains her journey becoming a published author, a public speaker and a facilitator.
