Are you living or just existing? This powerful question anchors our conversation with Bill Zujewski, former tech executive and founder of Good Life. What began as a simple year-end spreadsheet became a transformative tool for intentional living. Bill introduces the HELP GROW framework: Health, Environment, Leisure, Purpose, Growth, Relationships, Occupation, and Wealth as a personal scorecard that helps us evaluate how aligned we are with what truly matters.In a world where we often race through life on autopilot, this framework offers a mirror rather than a rigid formula, helping us recognize both where we're thriving and where we're off track. The conversation also challenges conventional success metrics. Drawing from an 80-year Harvard study, Bill emphasizes that strong relationships, not wealth or geography, are the greatest predictors of health, happiness, and longevity, sometimes equating to an extra decade of healthy life.As host Mick Spiers walks through his own self-assessment, we see the power of small shifts in creating meaningful change. Whether you're a leader hoping to foster well-being in your team or someone seeking more purpose in your personal life, this episode delivers both inspiration and practical steps. Start by reflecting on your own life score. You might just find the clarity and motivation to take that next step toward the life you truly want.

In this episode of PivotMe, April dives deep into the age-old productivity wisdom: “Eat the frog first.” But this isn't just about task lists—it's about courage, action, and momentum. April breaks down why high performers don't avoid hard things; they just do them faster. With raw stories, practical insights, and a splash of humor, this episode will challenge listeners to stop delaying and start leaping. Key Takeaways: What the Frog Really Is: It's that hard conversation, overdue decision, or the lingering task you keep pushing off. And it's costing you peace and progress. The Myth of Graduation: You don't outgrow difficult tasks. Successful people just build the muscle to handle them faster and messier. 10 Seconds of Courage: You don't need hours of motivation—just ten seconds of brave action to shift everything. Momentum Matters: Eating one frog builds energy to tackle the next. Success is a domino effect—just start. Don't Over-Prepare: High performers don't “perfectly plan” their attack on the frog—they just move. They wreck it. They move on. Quote from the Episode: “Frogs don't disappear when you get more successful. They just get bigger—and you get better at eating them.” Actionable Items: Identify the “frog” you've been avoiding—name it. Set a timer and give yourself 10 seconds of bravery to leap. Don't wait for permission, motivation, or perfection—just move. Use the momentum from one win to build into the next. Hard things don't go away. But you don't need less frogs—you need more courage. Eat the frog, eat it fast, and watch how your confidence and success compound. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

Law #4: Authenticity - "Pivot to purpose in the face of fear, threat & disappointment"Life, and life at work, bring plenty of opportunities for disruption, especially in the context of our relationships with others. A collaborative effort is bound to surface misalignments, differences of opinion, and competing priorities. Circumstances themselves may knock our plans off course, sending a team into a space of anxiety, fear, and protection. Having a skillset for recovering a sense of purpose and generating focus and alignment where it's missing, even in challenging times, is a critically important leadership skill. In this episode we discuss the 4th Law of Authenticity. Authenticity - an art of listening for shared purpose and cultivating connection - is foundational to high-performance collaboration.Insights from the episode:Emotional agility is a core skill for successful leaders, collaborators, and high-performersConnection is an art of correction, not perfectionThe measure of your honor is the rate of your recovery"The secret to all success is constancy of purpose" - Benjamin DisraeliResources mentioned in the episode: Overview of the 10 Laws of High-Performance Collaboration: Use this as a cheat sheet as you follow along with the series or practice the principles with your team Overview of the Conversation Meter: An essential summary for quick reference on how to utilize the tool The Bioreactive Styles AssessmentWATCH this episode on YouTubeLearn more about Conversant at https://www.conversant.com/ Follow us on LinkedIn

What does success really mean when you've checked all the boxes but still feel empty inside? Randy Lyman's journey from physicist and multi-millionaire entrepreneur to emotional intelligence advocate challenges everything we think we know about leadership. Despite achieving multiple patents, thriving businesses, and academic accolades, Randy opens up about the profound emptiness he felt—until he discovered what he calls “the third element,” the missing link between intellect, effort, and emotional awareness. This insight transformed his personal fulfillment and completely redefined how he leads.In our conversation, Randy shares how unprocessed emotions silently shape team dynamics and decision-making. Leaders who suppress their feelings, he explains, often create environments where their teams instinctively protect themselves rather than collaborate openly. “The moment I walk into that room,” Randy says, “people feel what I'm feeling.” His leadership shifted when he began prioritizing emotional transparency, embracing practices like journaling and carving out generous time for genuine, emotionally honest conversations with his team.Most powerfully, Randy highlights three human needs that go beyond a paycheck: to be seen as a unique individual, to contribute meaningfully, and to belong. When leaders meet these needs with emotional intelligence, people show up fully—engaged, committed, and authentic. Ready to discover your own third element? Tune in and explore how integrating emotional awareness into your leadership could be the missing key to meaningful success.
Lucinda studies the topic of "Reward for Performance: What Really Works?" as part of our high-performance series. She explores the multifaceted nature of rewards, emphasising that while monetary compensation is often the first thought, it is not the only—or necessarily the most effective—motivator for high performance. The discussion covers the importance of defining high performance within organisations, the role of recognition and intrinsic motivators, and the potential pitfalls of performance-related pay. KEY TAKEAWAYS High performance in organisations is not solely defined by output or sales figures. It encompasses behaviours, values alignment, teamwork, and leadership qualities. Recognition plays a crucial role in motivating employees. Regular, specific, and timely feedback can significantly enhance engagement and performance. While performance-related pay can motivate high performers, it must be transparent, well-defined, and linked to clear performance expectations. In environments where financial rewards are limited, organisations can explore non-monetary rewards such as flexible working arrangements, learning opportunities, and personalised recognition. BEST MOMENTS "High performing organisations are 2.5 times more likely to have aligned performance expectations and recognition systems." "Recognition really does matter. And also, we have to think about intrinsic reward, motivation." "If you look at the evidence around what drives high performance, goal setting with regular feedback is one of the strongest sustainable drivers." "The most effective rewards come from truly understanding what motivates our people."

Send us a textWhat separates those who merely survive from those who truly thrive? Doug Wyatt's remarkable journey from a poor country kid to a multimillion-dollar business leader offers profound insights into sustainable success.Doug opens up about his dramatic physical transformation, shedding 82 pounds and completely rebuilding his health after reaching a crisis point at age 32. Rather than quick fixes, he reveals how small, consistent changes—from quitting soda to establishing a morning workout routine—created compounding results that eventually transformed every area of his life.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Doug shares his time-optimization strategy that allows him to consume four hours of personal development content before most people have finished their first cup of coffee. By listening at 2x speed during his morning routine, he's able to continuously feed his mind while preparing his body for peak performance.Perhaps most compelling is Doug's vulnerable discussion about overcoming childhood trauma and how his father's suicide became a catalyst for his passion to improve human communication. This emotional depth grounds his business philosophy in something far more meaningful than profit margins—though his methods have proven extraordinarily effective at building profitable enterprises.Through practical frameworks like his "reticular activating system" concept, Doug demonstrates how our beliefs filter our perception of reality, affecting everything from our health choices to our sales outcomes. He challenges listeners to examine where they might be surrendering their power by blaming external circumstances rather than focusing on internal solutions.Whether you're struggling with health challenges, business growth plateaus, or relationship difficulties, this episode delivers actionable wisdom that integrates the spiritual, physical, and practical dimensions of creating a truly successful life. As Doug powerfully states, "You cannot have results and excuses at the same time."

While he's over, we decided to hit record on a conversation we've been having behind the scenes — all about the concept of performance without pressure. For most of my life, I've thrived on pressure. Big goals. High stakes. All-or-nothing thinking. It's driven a lot of what I've achieved.

In this episode, we unpack what it really means to perform at a high level without constantly chasing, grinding, or forcing outcomes. It's a reflective and real conversation, and I hope it sparks something for you too. Let's dive in.
