Traci's Bio
Traci Austin, MPA, SPHR, PCC, is the creator of The And/Both Method — a framework for high achievers who are done waiting for permission to live the life they actually want. With 20+ years in HR and leadership development, an ICF coaching credential, and a bucket list she's crossing off in real time (currently on a 62-day solo adventure through Europe), Traci brings the rare combination of serious credentials and lived proof that and/both is possible. She doesn't teach this from a distance. She's in the middle of it.
