From Corporate Guardrails to Winning Your Hour with Robert Marshall

In this episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Pedro sits down with Robert Marshall, a former global program management executive turned coach, to explore the mindset and productivity shifts required when moving from corporate leadership to solo entrepreneurship.

Robert shares how the guardrails that once structured his corporate life disappeared overnight—and how he intentionally rebuilt them to stay focused, energized, and aligned as a business owner. The conversation dives deep into productivity without burnout, redefining success beyond hustle, and why curiosity beats self-judgment when navigating career transitions.

Together, they unpack Robert’s “Win Your Hour” framework, the must–should–could–won’t prioritization method, and how ADHD awareness, mindset, and self-designed systems can become powerful advantages rather than obstacles. This episode is a must-listen for coaches, professionals, and entrepreneurs who want to build sustainable success while staying human.
