Peart, organizational psychologist, executive coach, and founder of Island Rooted Co., for a conversation that connects leadership well-being directly to customer experience outcomes.Dr. Peart brings over 20 years of experience in organizational psychology, public health, and executive coaching, and her work challenges the idea that high performance should come at the expense of people.

Send us Fan MailIn this solo episode of Spartan Leadership, Josh Kosnick tackles a problem that's quietly wrecking our society, our homes, and our boardrooms: the inability to hold two truths at the same time. From Memorial Day to the boardroom to your marriage, he breaks down how binary thinking masquerades as conviction while quietly destroying wisdom, trust, and culture.You'll hear why being “for” or “against” everything isn't strength, it's rigidity — and how real leaders learn to sit in tension, honor complexity, and still make clear decisions. Josh then walks through six practical disciplines you can start using this week to build the muscle of holding two truths without folding under pressure.If you're a leader at work, at home, or in your community, this episode will challenge how you think, how you decide, and how you show up when things get complex.

Have you ever done everything "right", followed the plan, built the skills, put in the work, and still found yourself burned out, stuck, and wondering what went wrong?

Most fitness business owners share the same bottleneck: the operator. Because you're often the founder, marketer, CFO, and coach, your business can't grow beyond your own capacity, skills, and decision-making. This episode reframes growth as an “executive coaching” problem and shares a practical four-step self-coaching framework to raise your ceiling without defaulting to hiring. Step 1 is Clarity (e.g., “What are you optimising for?”, “What's my biggest priority?”, or “What don't I want?”). Step 2 is Strategy (choose a path that fits you, not a one-size-fits-all model). Step 3 is Execution (close the intention-to-action gap by putting priorities in your diary and deleting misaligned tasks). Step 4 is Reflection (weekly check-ins to iterate and course-correct). Connect on Instagram @mattrobinsonpt or at mattrobinsoncoaching.com.

Why the most damaging leadership problems are rarely the loudest How small tolerated behaviors become cultural standards The hidden cost of waiting too long to address issues Understanding “thinking debt” and how it compounds over time Why reactive leadership narrows long-term vision The difference between Firefighter mode and Architect mode How disengagement and resentment quietly build inside organizations A powerful leadership reframe: “What happens if this pattern continues for another year?” Why systems, not isolated incidents, shape organizational culture How deliberate leaders identify and address problems early before they escalate Reflection questions to help leaders identify their own “slow burn” issues Why resilient cultures are built through consistent, intentional leadership Think First

The most surprising leadership insights may not be found where you'd expect… In this episode, Céline sits down with Philip Atkinson, an organizational coach and beekeeper who has spent his career helping leaders around the world become better humans with better skills. Philip is also the author of Bee Wise: 12 Leadership Lessons from a Busy Beehive, a beautifully written book structured across the four seasons, blending the science of bees with the very human challenges of leading an organization. Philip and Céline explore why leadership is still so often rooted in command-and-control thinking – a model built for industrial-era machines, not the living, breathing organizations of today. They dig into what it really means to lead without having all the answers, why "busy" has become a dangerous badge of honor, and how slowing down to sense your environment (the way a beekeeper reads a hive before lifting the lid) can change the quality of every conversation and decision you make. They also get into the often-broken world of feedback: why so many leaders give it wrong, why the simple question "is now a good time?" is a game-changer, and how the bees' famous waggle dance is actually a masterclass in clear, consistent, repeated communication inside a noisy system.  If you're navigating constant change, holding your team together, and trying to lead well without pretending you have all the answers, this conversation is for you. Philip's message is simple and grounding: everyone deserves to be led well, and being a good leader starts with being a good human. Bee Wise is available wherever you purchase books, with all proceeds going to Bees for Development, a charity supporting families in developing countries through sustainable beekeeping businesses.

What if executive coaching isn't a "fix" for struggling leaders, but one of the smartest investments a company can make? In this episode, I break down why executive presence is far more than charisma or confidence in a boardroom; it's a real operational advantage that directly impacts decision-making, talent retention, and company growth.

Dr. Laura welcomes executive coach, author, and former Microsoft leader Sabina Nawaz for a discussion on what it really takes to become a manager people want to follow. Drawing from her own experience of shifting from a caring leader to one she no longer recognized under pressure, Sabina shares a deeply human perspective on how pressure, more than power, quietly shapes behavior at work. Dr. Laura and Sabina explore how even the most well-intentioned managers can fall into common traps that limit their teams, including the tendency to take on too much or unknowingly diminish others' contributions. They invite reflection on how leadership shows up in everyday moments and how small, intentional shifts can transform both personal effectiveness and team culture. Dr. Laura and Sabina unpack practical strategies to navigate busyness, create space for clearer thinking, and build feedback loops that support growth. Sabina introduces the concept of micro habits as a sustainable path to change, along with the importance of intentionally creating blank space to access deeper insight. The conversation also challenges conventional thinking about “leader” as a title, reframing leadership instead as a shared practice that can be activated by anyone. With warmth and professional curiosity, Dr. Laura guides a discussion that highlights how cultivating awareness and letting go of the need to have all the answers can unlock greater potential in managers and their teams. “It is not power that corrupts us. It is pressure, and under pressure we have a choice point.” - Sabina Nawaz About Sabina Nawaz: Sabina Nawaz is an elite executive coach who advises C-level executives and teams at Fortune 500 corporations, government agencies, nonprofits, and academic institutions around the world. Sabina routinely gives speeches each year and teaches faculty at Northeastern and Drexel Universities.

Why it keeps coming back… no matter what you change   Have you ever wondered "Why do I feel the same after changing jobs?" You've made big changes, adjusted how you work, done the inner work, and it all helped, for a while. But the feeling came back. Same heaviness, different circumstances.  For high-achieving leaders, this cycle rarely looks like failure from the outside. You're still showing up, still performing, still trying to make it better.

In this episode, I'm teaching you the Theater Framework – my 3-part system for inspiring and impressing an executive audience when you speak.

In this episode of Crime and the Courtroom, John Collins discusses the central themes of his new book, Valid Comparisons: The Forensic and Judicial Examination of Stochastic Patterns, and examines the ongoing challenges facing forensic science in the courtroom. He addresses the growing tension between scientific reality and legal expectations, emphasizing that while forensic disciplines cannot offer absolute certainty, they remain grounded in decades of practical validation and real-world application. He reflects on how past mistakes—particularly in areas like bite mark evidence—have influenced public perception, and argues that the forensic community must take responsibility for communicating both its strengths and its limitations more clearly.  Throughout the episode, Collins makes the case for a more disciplined and transparent approach to forensic testimony—one that acknowledges uncertainty without surrendering confidence in well-established methods. This discussion offers an important perspective for forensic practitioners, attorneys, and anyone interested in how scientific evidence is evaluated in the pursuit of justice.

Louisa Robb grew up in a chaotic and creative household.A dreamer father who never quite landed his visions. A mother pioneering her way through the Australian film and television industry. Dinner parties with actors. No financial safety net. No predictable path.So she built one.Economics degree. Hong Kong. Zurich. UBS. Managing Director. Global COO overseeing thousands of people.She fit the institution. She wore the suit. She prepared, over-prepared, and prepared some more just to feel like she belonged at the table.And for years, it worked.But something kept pulling at her. The creative child who grew up watching her mother break barriers. The woman who kept asking: should we really have to earn the right to be ourselves?What Louisa discovered after two decades at the top of global finance is this: culture is not a values poster on a wall. It is the set of behaviors people believe they must exhibit just to fit in.And that costs everyone. Especially women.The micro-injuries accumulate quietly. The promotions come without support. The networking happens on golf courses and in spaces that were never designed for you. And one by one, talented women disappear from the pipeline.Louisa left banking to fix that. Not with more compliance. Not with more control. But with a mirror, a whiteboard, and tools that finally put a number on what everyone could feel but no one could prove.This conversation goes deep on imposter syndrome, organisational culture, women in leadership, and what it really means to lead on your own terms.One of the most honest and grounded conversations I have had on this show.I hope it stays with you.Apply to work with me: https://www.michaelxcampion.com/Connect with me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelxcampion/Guest - Louisa Robb (https://www.linkedin.com/in/louisa-robb/)Louisa Robb is the Founder and Managing Director of Lucella AG, a professional coaching and consulting firm based in Zurich, Switzerland.

There's a moment in the Tour de France most people miss. Not the sprint finish. Not the podium. Not the yellow jersey.It's the mountain stage, where you realize the leader isn't actually alone.We use that image to challenge a belief a lot of high performers quietly live by: self-sufficiency equals strength. It might be the very thing that helped you win early stages of growth… and the same thing that now limits what's next.We explore why high performance isn't just about endurance and capacity, it's about exposure. Exposure to feedback, discomfort, new reflections, and the kind of community that forces you to practice who you're becoming.What you'll hear in this episodeWhy we confuse self-sufficiency with high performanceThe hidden cost of carrying pressure in isolationWhy growth requires exposure, not just effortWhat community gives you that a mirror can'tA better question than “How much can I handle?”The Tour de France lesson: nobody wins the mountain stages alone00:00 Why the mountain stage matters00:36 The leader is never really alone01:18 The hidden cost of carrying pressure in isolation02:22 When self-sufficiency starts limiting growth03:25 Growth requires exposure, not just endurance04:05 Why community matters04:47 Choosing a room that stretches you05:42 What community gives you that a mirror can't06:18 What pro cyclists have to unlearn07:12 No one wins the mountain stages alone08:03 A better question for high performers08:42 You might win one stage alone09:33 Final reflection and share the episode09:51 OutroIf this episode hit, share it with one leader who's been carrying too much alone.

What if the key to your next level of leadership isn't another strategy — it's accessing a better state?

The Lie That Change Is Hard (and What It's Costing You) Have you ever known something in your life or career needed to change — but every time you considered it, your brain immediately offered a hundred reasons why it was too risky, too hard, or just not the right time? That's not wisdom. For most high-achieving leaders, that's the lie. The belief that change is hard is one of the most common, and most costly, patterns among leaders.  It feels rational. It feels responsible. But very often, it's the exact thing keeping you stuck inside patterns that are quietly draining your energy, your clarity, and your potential. In this episode, Blake breaks down why your brain resists change even when you know something isn't working, how misalignment shows up long before anything breaks, and how to move forward without taking a massive leap. Episode Highlights The belief that quietly keeps you stuck [00:45] – Why "change is hard" feels true… but often isn't [01:20] – How your brain creates logical reasons to stay where you are [02:10] – Why staying the same can actually create more risk The early signs of misalignment most people ignore [03:15] – The whisper → knock → bang progression [04:00] – Sunday dread, low energy, and quiet dissatisfaction [05:10] – Why rumination keeps you stuck instead of moving you forward A different way to create change [06:00] – Why change doesn't have to be extreme to be effective [07:00] – How to "raise the floor" of your life and work [07:55] – Building momentum that restores energy instead of draining it Powerful Quotes "The belief that change is hard is often the lie that keeps us stuck." — Blake Schofield "We cannot create from a place of contraction." — Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Let's explore what's possible for your team: If your company is investing in burnout, wellness or adaptability initiatives, but seeing rising burnout, disengagement, or retention risk, it may be time to address the root cause.
