In this episode we discuss the five energy types in Human Design with an emphasis on how they create high and low performance in a person. We can all improve our performance at work, sports, hobbies, relationships, health, anything, if we lean into our Human Design.

In this "Rewind & Reflect" (previously published) episode, we dive deep into the holistic health practices that empower entrepreneurs to not just survive—but thrive. We explore why self-care is a critical pillar for sustainable success, how rest isn't a luxury but a strategy, the transformative power of self-love and inner work, the role of discipline as a self-respect practice, and the importance of maintaining physical well-being when you're in the driver's seat of your business. Our guest is the insightful and compassionate therapist Jenay Hicks (MS, LPC, NCC). Jenay believes fundamentally in the human capacity to self-actualize—meaning to reach our fullest potential—and works with clients to clarify their “why” and navigate paths toward deeper fulfillment both personally and professionally. She highlights how many high-achievers look like they've “got it all together” on the outside, yet are running on fumes underneath—masking exhaustion and anxiety in the name of performance. Whether you're building a startup, scaling your service business, or leading a creative venture, this episode offers you the tools and mindset to reimagine success: one where your health, purpose, and profit all rise together. Tune in and leave not only inspired—but equipped to make holistic health your competitive advantage. Learn more and connect with Jenay Hicks at: jenayhicks.com

What would you do if you woke up and the world was dark? Kijuan Amey, an Air Force in‑flight refueling specialist with a promising path to the cockpit, opened his eyes after a crash to find he'd lost his sight. The story that follows isn't about platitudes—it's about rebuilding a life through faith, gratitude, and the unglamorous work of learning every step again.We dig into the pivotal shift from “why me” to “why not me,” and how that mindset turned blame into agency. Kijuan walks us through the hard basics—orientation with a white cane, mastering daily tasks, and honoring the process without skipping steps. Along the way, he shares how reflection at the gym, adaptive sports, and expert coaching revived confidence and expanded what seemed possible. The refrain “give it time” becomes a practical strategy: patience paired with action compounds into progress.Leaders will recognize themselves in the aviation checklist analogy: miss one step and outcomes can be catastrophic. We explore the power of reframing “have to” as “get to,” the role of community in sustaining momentum, and why vision is mental even when sight is gone. Expect insights on resilience, habits, mindset, and purpose that apply whether you're navigating trauma, leading a team, or training for your next milestone.If the idea of starting small and staying consistent resonates, this conversation will meet you where you are and challenge you to take the next step.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Tony Crescenzo, CEO of Intelligent Waves & Founder of Peak Neuro, LLC. He highlights his compelling journey from a resilient upbringing and military service to pioneering leadership insights and transformative healing with brain-training technology.   In today's episode, we discuss: Remember the importance of "always do the right thing." Tony's grandfather's timeless advice served as his moral compass, guiding him through every personal and business decision. He discovered that by valuing integrity, you foster trust and build a strong, lasting reputation. See adversity as an opportunity to grow and learn. Tony's time in the military, especially the hurdles he faced as his military career came to a close, reminds us how much reputation truly matters. Welcome setbacks as moments to build character and become someone others truly respect and trust. To ease conflicts, try to understand the root of fear rather than just anger. Through his journey with anger, he learned that anger is really fear turned upside down. Embracing this awareness enabled him to transition from fear/anger to compassion and a deeper understanding of himself and others in times of challenge. Consider responding to anger with empathy—it can be a beautiful way to strengthen both your work and personal relationships. Prioritize your sleep and mental health with effective strategies. For instance, Tony saw wonderful improvements in his sleep, memory, and mood by using brainwave entrainment. Taking some proactive steps to care for yourself—such as getting good rest and keeping your mind clear—can truly make a significant difference in your happiness and productivity. Adopt the idea of "generals eat last" as your leadership guiding principle. As Tony beautifully shared, inspiring leaders always put their teams first, creating a warm environment full of trust and stability. When you focus on serving and supporting others, it gently builds loyalty and can significantly lift your team's performance. Embracing this approach can truly make your leadership journey more rewarding and fulfilling! Be open to new modalities of healing. Tony lived with PTSD for 30 years. He believed his anger and stress from his time in the military were a part of him and his life now. It wasn't until he stumbled across a new assistive technology that he learned that was not the case. It is also inspired the creation of PeakNeuro, an AI-enabled platform that uses acoustic audio-entrainment to help veterans and leaders regulate stress, get better sleep, and improve human performance overall through cognitive resilience.

High performance can quietly become survival mode. In this episode, discover why you can't stop striving, how your nervous system equates love with productivity, and how to recalibrate peace as the new signal of safety.If you've ever tried to rest but ended up restless, this episode will meet you where achievement and exhaustion quietly collide.In The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores why high performers struggle to “turn off” even when everything in them craves peace. Drawing from Michael Phelps' post-Olympic crash and the neuroscience of the dopamine loop, Julie reveals how your brain learns to equate love with productivity and motion with safety.This isn't about laziness, burnout, or discipline—it's about wiring. Your reward system was built to chase validation through motion. That's why stopping feels unsafe, and stillness feels like failure.But wiring can be rewritten. Through the lens of faith, psychology, and embodied leadership, Julie walks you through the process of retraining your nervous system to trust peace again.You'll learn why performance pressure, decision fatigue, and spiritual exhaustion are symptoms of deeper identity misalignment—and how to begin rewiring your inner safety system through The Recalibration, not another mindset tactic but the root-level, identity-first process that makes every other tool effective.If your success has come with invisible exhaustion, this episode will help you understand why—and what freedom feels like when you finally stop earning your existence through effort.Today's Micro Recalibration: When you catch yourself striving, pause and whisper, “I'm safe even when I'm still.” Let your body feel what your mind already knows: you belong, even at rest.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

What can leadership in Formula One teach the rest of us about business transformation? In this episode of the Tech Talks Daily Podcast, I sit down with Seb Sheppard, whose career has taken him from flying helicopters in the Royal Navy to leading engineering teams in Formula One and steering post-merger integrations across multiple industries. His story isn't just one of impressive career shifts but of understanding what truly drives high performance—people, trust, and focus. Seb shares how growing up in Chile and working across different cultures taught him the value of clear communication and empathy in leadership. He explains why protecting technical teams from distractions can often be the most productive thing a leader can do, and how wellbeing initiatives work best when driven by employees themselves rather than top-down policies. Drawing on his time at Alpine F1, he also reveals the delicate balance between cost control and performance improvement, describing how he helped grow the engineering team by a third while staying within strict budget limits. Our conversation also explores the human side of mergers and acquisitions. Seb discusses why integration efforts often fail when companies overlook culture and people, and how proactive communication—long before an announcement is made—can make the difference between success and attrition. He also speaks about the evolving relationship between technology and leadership, explaining how AI can be embraced without losing the human element that drives creativity and trust. If you're a leader facing constant change, this episode is a masterclass in adaptability, humility, and practical wisdom. You'll come away with lessons from both the skies and the racetrack that apply directly to your own teams and projects.

High performers often mistake discipline for proving. This episode explores how to practice without pressure — so you can restore joy, focus, and peace. Learn why real mastery flows from presence, not performance, and how to rewire your brain for peace.For many high-capacity humans, discipline has become disguised defense. You're not afraid of practice — you're afraid of what might happen if you stop.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks why even the most dedicated high performers can lose joy when practice turns into proving. Through the lens of neuroplasticity, she explains how your brain learns safety through repetition — not striving — and how to rebuild a rhythm that restores your energy, focus, and identity.You'll learn how to:Recognize when “discipline” has turned into self-protection.Reprogram your nervous system through repetition in safety, not stress.Shift from proving your worth to practicing your peace.Understand why integration doesn't slow you down — it compounds your impact.Lead teams where growth flows from trust, not tension.Drawing from the later chapters of Tiger Woods' comeback, Julie shows what it looks like to return to mastery with humility, peace, and gratitude. His quiet strength reminds us that excellence doesn't disappear when pressure is released — it deepens.This isn't mindset work. It's Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) — the psychology-backed, faith-rooted pathway that begins with the who, not just the how. It's not another strategy. It's the smallest internal shift that changes everything.Today's Micro Recalibration:“Practice becomes worship when peace is your measure of success.”And if you lead a team, bring this to your next meeting:“What if growth didn't come from pressure, but from safety?”Integration begins when you remember — peace isn't passive.

High performers often confuse pressure with purpose. In this episode, discover how to sustain excellence without exhaustion — by moving from proving to offering, and from performance to presence. Real mastery starts in peace, not pressure.What if your drive to be excellent was never the problem — only the pressure beneath it?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly guides high-capacity humans through the liberation that follows burnout recovery: learning to sustain high performance without exhaustion.Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and Stoic philosophy, Julie explores how integration transforms performance from protection to expression. You'll uncover how your nervous system, identity, and behavior can finally operate in alignment — where your pace is still full, but your spirit isn't frantic.Featuring insights from Marcus Aurelius, the philosopher-emperor who modeled excellence anchored in virtue rather than validation, this episode reminds us that real mastery flows from peace, not pressure.“He didn't lead by dominance — he led by devotion. His discipline wasn't about control; it was about alignment.”Julie unpacks why so many high performers still love the pace — yet quietly fear slowing down will make life boring or cost them success. She reframes this illusion through the lens of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR): when you create from overflow, your pace can remain full, but your energy finally becomes sustainable.Inside this conversation, you'll discover:Why excellence without identity becomes exhaustion — and how to reclaim it.The neuroscience of integration — how your brain transforms pressure into presence.Why you can love the pace but no longer be powered by proving.How peace doesn't diminish productivity — it refines it.What it means to lead like Marcus Aurelius: anchored, awake, and aligned.Today's Micro Recalibration:“Devotion is excellence without desperation.”Team Extension:Ask your team: “What does excellence look like when it's rooted in presence, not pressure?”Because The Recalibration isn't another mindset tactic or performance hack. It's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool finally work again.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

A historic medal haul rarely happens by accident. We unpack how Brazil engineered four finalists and two world titles through clear planning, ruthless scouting, and conditioning that didn't fade in the final minute. Maria's long-awaited women's world crown set the tone; Enrike's rise from a turbulent home environment to world champion showed what happens when talent meets structure and belief. The thread through each story is the same: know the bracket, know yourself, and perform when it counts.We also face the tougher side of the sport: when a program with resources under-delivers. The U.S. finished 20th and still blasted “dominance” in a newsletter. That disconnect matters. We talk about the decisions behind the scenes—who sits in the chair, how prep camps are run, how personal coaches and national staff are used, and why accountability at the top shapes everything on the mat. If athletes are judged by results, leadership should be too. Culture isn't hashtags in the holding area; it's what you do under pressure and how you represent your teammates when the cameras aren't rolling.Rules and tech didn't help. Referees were told to “let them fight,” but holding went unpunished and video review for head shots disappeared, returning power to inconsistent judgment. That's not modernizing; that's muddling. We dig into what fair, watchable Taekwondo should reward and why development pathways must stay open—especially as champions skew younger. Tunisia and Iran offered bright examples of pipelines that translate fast to the senior podium.If you care about high performance, athlete-first systems, and a sport that looks like Taekwondo again, this one is a must-listen. Subscribe, share with a coach or teammate, and leave a review with the one change you'd implement tomorrow.

Burnout recovery for high performers begins here. Discover why success fatigue and performance pressure aren't personal flaws—but signs of identity misalignment. Learn how to recalibrate before exhaustion becomes your normal.Even the strongest leaders reach a breaking point when excellence becomes identity. In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks the hidden cost of high performance — how burnout, success fatigue, and emotional exhaustion are not signs of weakness but symptoms of misalignment.Through the lens of predictive processing, Julie explores why your brain equates slowing down with danger — and how to teach it that peace is safe again. When productivity becomes protection, rest feels risky. But exhaustion isn't failure — it's feedback.Drawing from the story of Tiger Woods, Julie illustrates what happens when discipline turns to dependence — when the very excellence that built success begins to erode the self beneath it. You'll learn why high-capacity humans often mistake depletion for devotion, and how to reclaim excellence as an expression of identity, not a substitute for it.This episode weaves together psychology, neuroscience, and faith to reveal a deeper truth: You've been loving people through your excellence. Now, you're invited to love them through your presence.Inside this conversation, you'll discover:Why burnout recovery begins at the identity level — not in your calendar or habits.How predictive processing keeps you overperforming long after your peace runs out.The difference between devotion and depletion — and how to recognize when one has disguised itself as the other.Why rest feels unsafe, and how to retrain your nervous system to experience stillness as security.The spiritual reality of presence over performance — that your worth was never meant to hang on what you produce.Today's Micro Recalibration:“I no longer mistake depletion for devotion.”If you lead others, bring this to your next conversation:“What part of our culture rewards depletion as proof of dedication?”Because collective burnout isn't about weak people — it's about misaligned patterns.This episode reminds you that The Recalibration isn't another mindset tactic or productivity strategy.

Are you showing up as your full, authentic self or just the version you think others expect?Authenticity isn't a matter of oversharing or saying whatever's on your mind.

This is where I get to hear directly from you — our incredible listeners and members of the Grace to Grow Mentorship and Training community. I absolutely love these moments because they remind me that what we're building together goes far beyond the conversations here — it's about growth, faith, and shared purpose. We recently wrapped up the graduation of Cohorts 5 and 6 of the Grace to Grow Mentorship Programme during our LeadercastKingston event, and I continue to be so moved by the reflections shared from our community. Today's message comes from Tioney Walters, who said: “This program is such a gem and is truly what God wants you to be doing, Miss Heneka. I was literally in the audience, and tears came to my eyes. I love everyone in this program so much, even the ones I haven't met yet. I am so happy to be a part of such a movement and sisterhood. Just continue to shine, Mrs. Porter, and lead with grace.” Thank you so much, Tioney. Your words truly touched my heart. This right here is what community is all about — faith, connection, and sisterhood rooted in purpose. I'm deeply grateful for you and all the phenomenal women continuing to grow together in grace and leadership.

When high performance stops feeling fulfilling, it's not burnout—it's identity drift. This episode explores why success feels empty and how to recalibrate your worth beyond what you produce, so peace becomes your new definition of progress.When you've done everything “right” but fulfillment still feels out of reach, you're not broken—you're misaligned.In this week's opening episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks what happens when achievement becomes identity—and why high performers can feel drained even when everything looks right. Drawing from Sheryl Sandberg's real-life awakening, she reveals how high performance can subtly fuse self-worth with productivity, creating quiet exhaustion masked as success.This conversation bridges burnout recovery, decision fatigue, and spiritual exhaustion into one clear insight: you're not tired from doing too much; you're tired from being too much of what the world rewards and not enough of who you really are.Through the lens of psychology (identity fusion), faith (you were chosen before you contributed), and embodied restoration, Julie guides you toward a grounded truth: when success stops feeling good, it's not failure—it's feedback.This episode marks the beginning of a deeper recalibration—where performance no longer defines you, and peace becomes your new metric for progress.The Recalibration is not another mindset tactic—it's the root-level, identity-first transformation that makes every other tool work again.Today's Micro Recalibration: Pause after a win—big or small—and ask yourself, “Can I let this be enough, or am I already reaching for the next thing?” You don't need to fix it—just notice it. That pause is the first thread of peace returning.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Send us a textIn this episode, Ryan reframes success through the lens of awareness, alignment, and steady effort. Drawing on conversations with high performers and adventurers like Damian Browne—who rowed solo from New York City to Ireland with no prior rowing experience—you'll hear how the real victory lies in self-realization and inner peace, not outcomes or applause.Damian's story reveals a sharper, more useful definition of success: one measured by honesty, courage, and connection. Each day becomes a chance to learn who you are under pressure, to refine your process, and to serve from a place of clarity instead of fear.Ryan breaks down how to operationalize this mindset so it shows up in your calendar, not just your journal:Simple, daily commitments aligned with your core valuesHonest reflection to uncover blind spotsSmall, consistent actions that build inner freedomWhen fear stops driving your choices, confidence becomes durable—carried across seasons, goals, and setbacks.Thank you for tuning in!

Most people romanticize mastery.They talk about "grit" and "passion" and "work ethic," but avoid the uncomfortable truth:Mastery is build by failing-- over and over again. In public, in private, both big and small failures. Failure is followed by recovery and reflection and leveling up.In this recording, you can hear me teaching this idea to my students in the Global Impact Council, which is our internal teen mentoring program. Enjoy the call!-----To register for the Ivy League Challenge, visit our websiteTo follow on Instagram:  @TheIvyLeagueChallengeTo join us on our Facebook group for parents

High performance and faith often collide, leaving you spiritually exhausted. In this episode, Julie Holly reveals how to move from doing for God to walking with Him — and why your worth was never in your work, but in His workmanship.High performers don't usually think of themselves as performers — especially in faith. But for many, excellence in leadership has quietly merged with striving in spirituality.In this week's Sunday Vertical Integration episode, Julie Holly helps high-capacity humans uncover the difference between doing for God and being with God. Through Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT) and Psalm 127:1, she reframes the exhaustion so many faith-driven achievers feel — the weight of devotion turned into duty.You'll discover how to separate obedience from overextension, and how recalibration restores your ability to lead with peace, not pressure. This episode speaks directly to the high performer's hidden fear: that slowing down might mean losing their edge.As Julie shares from her own story — replacing communion with contribution, and learning to rest inside God's delight — you'll realize that intimacy with the Sovereign isn't measured by what you produce but by how much room you give Him to be with you.This isn't mindset work or productivity theory. It's Identity-Level Recalibration — the root-level alignment that makes every other spiritual, emotional, and leadership tool finally work again.You'll walk away with practical, faith-centered insight for burnout recovery, spiritual exhaustion, and decision fatigue — anchored in one truth: You were never called to perform for God, only to partner with Him.Today's Micro Recalibration:“If I believed the Sovereign already delights in me, how would I lead differently?”Let that question become your quiet leadership audit today. When you lead from delight, peace becomes your power.Semantic Keyword Clusters Included:high performance, burnout recovery, decision fatigue, success fatigue, role confusion, spiritual exhaustion, identity misalignment, identity drift, belonging, faith-based leadership, presence over performance, grace, stewardship, peace, leadership recalibration, wholenessNamed Entities Referenced:Jesus (Matthew 11:28–30, NLT)Psalm 127:1 (NLT)If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

High performance built your success—but it's costing your peace. In this episode, Julie Holly reveals how to move from burnout to overflow by aligning excellence with identity. Because when peace becomes your power source, excellence becomes effortless.What happens when the drive that once made you unstoppable starts quietly wearing you down?In this final episode of Week One, From High Performance to High Capacity, Julie Holly unpacks the inner shift that turns relentless drive into sustainable excellence. You'll learn why even the strongest leaders experience burnout, decision fatigue, and role confusion—and how identity-level misalignment, not ambition itself, is the real cause.Drawing on insights from Episodes 152 and 165, Julie shows how the nervous system mirrors your internal story: constant output keeps you in survival mode, while recalibration restores your natural rhythm of work and rest, performance and presence.This is not another productivity tactic or mindset hack. It's Identity-Level Recalibration—the root-level alignment that makes every other tool effective. When excellence flows from identity instead of adrenaline, peace and progress can finally coexist.Through story work, nervous system insight, and practical reflection, you'll see how to step out of the exhaustion loop—without losing your edge. Because the goal isn't to do less; it's to do what's yours, from who you truly are.Today's Micro Recalibration:“Where can I let alignment lead my excellence this week?”Take this question into your weekend.
