Season 3 Episode 9: The Buyers Coach Levanah Gates shares her journey from Buyer to Life Coach and how her insight into the industry helps to support fellow Buyers

This week are joined by Levanah Gates, The Buyers Coach. Levanah started working in retail buying at a similar time to us, she’s worked at a large number of high street retailers and has seen it all! She joins us to tell us her story, from starting out in the industry, almost working in trend forecasting, to making the transition from buying manager to life coach.  

The 3 top points from today's episode are

1. Sometimes working in Buying can be really overwhelming. It’s an incredible job that can give you the highest highs, but also some of the lowest lows. Take a step back, breathe and find a way to make it work for you or use one of the many skill sets you have amassed during your career and make a move that feels more fulfilling. 
2. Life coaching will teach you a lot about yourself. It will help to transform your thinking and give you that clarity you need to move you forward to achieve your goals or even help you set them. 
3. Having the insight from someone that knows the industry from the inside, but can also give you an outsider's perspective is golden. They understand all the quirks that come with the territory and what will or won’t work in that environment, but they’re far enough removed to give you a fresh perspective.
