017 - A Mezzo's Mission

Today I am talking to Elena Armijo, an executive and leadership coach. Elena trained as a mezzo-soprano and she transferred her passion of generosity through performance to empowering people through life coaching. In our chat we discuss our love for music, the parallels between stage performance and goal setting, and how to communicate with your audience, however big or small.
