Episode 107: Why the Fastest Way to Build Your Career Is to Slow Down
Description
If you feel like everyone around you is racing ahead – launching faster, reading more, doing more, moving more quickly – this episode is for you.
In this solo episode of Tales from The Lane, Kate explores a principle she first learned as a musician and now sees everywhere in life and work:
Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.
From music practice to reading, decorating a home, making decisions, deepening relationships, learning new skills, and building a business – Kate makes the case for moving more deliberately at the beginning so you can build something that actually lasts.
This isn't an argument for procrastination or hesitation. It's an invitation to think differently about momentum, mastery, and sustainable growth.
In this episode, Kate shares:
-
What a career in music taught her about mastery and mistakes
-
How slow decision-making can save you from fast mistakes
-
How making one small change at a time creates lasting transformation
And if you're ready to design a life and career that actually fit who you've become, Kate would love to support you.
