Performance science focused executive coach Carla Fowler shares her origin story with host Jason Shupp.  We cover a wide array of topics, including perspectives on performance, where your attention goes, betting on yourself, designing your own curriculum, not mailing in the important stuff, and having some good now.

Carla Fowler, MD PhD, founded THAXA out of a passion for performance science, where the fields of strategy, productivity, and psychology intersect. Since its inception in 2013, THAXA’s scientific approach to individualized coaching has attracted a devoted client base of dozens of executives at firms ranging from Fortune 500 technology companies to venture-backed startups to innovative nonprofits. 

Carla’s coaching methods draw upon the multidisciplinary field of performance science to generate the best ideas surrounding strategy, execution, and mindset to assist leaders in their endeavors. Over the past 10 years, she has distilled the key principles of performance into understandable concepts and a method that helps leaders incorporate these ideas into their day-to-day performance; helping them go faster and improving their results. 

Outside of her coaching, Carla truly enjoys sharing her key performance principles with audiences while engaging in thought-provoking conversations surrounding her passion for performance science. 

Carla graduated from Brown University magna cum laude, earned her MD and PhD at the University of Washington, and completed her internship in general surgery at Stanford University. She has also competed in athletics at the elite level for many years, winning a world championship and three national titles in the sport of Ultimate Frisbee.
