High performers are often seen as the ones you don't have to worry about. But behind consistent output and quiet competence, there can be early signs of burnout and disengagement. In this episode, Melanie Naranjo joins Karina Young to challenge how companies define top talent and why performance without support leads to retention risk. Melanie, Chief People Officer at Ethena, shares a candid perspective on why high performers need more than praise. They need space to grow, permission to speak up, and help rewiring habits that no longer serve them. Together, they explore how over-reliance on top talent can backfire, why traditional engagement strategies often miss the mark, and what managers can do to spot red flags before it's too late. Melanie also offers clear strategies for re-engaging high performers and building a culture where expectations, accountability, and care go hand in hand. For HR leaders working to retain their best people, it's a compelling reminder: performance doesn't mean immunity. It means opportunity. Join us as we discuss: (00:00) Meet HR Superstar: Melanie Naranjo (01:14) The hidden costs of quiet disengagement (03:28) Rethinking what “high performer” really means (06:26) Debunking the myth of passion and performance (10:19) Building flexible perks that actually engage people (12:58) Early signs your top talent is burning out (15:19) Questions managers should ask but usually don't (20:03) How to coach overwhelmed team members (22:30) Why surveys won't help you retain your best people (24:17) High performers suffer when underperformers go unchecked (31:19) Re-engaging talent through targeted development plans (35:25) What to do when a high performer is a jerk (38:23) Questions every manager should ask top talent   Resources: For the entire interview, subscribe to HR Superstars on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube, or tune in on our website.

Law #7: Resistance - "Where you feel resistance, do research"Influencing and generating alignment with others takes getting curious about their purposes, concerns, and circumstances. All human beings have things they care about, things they worry about, and circumstances they are facing that shape how they show up to a given situation. When we perceive someone is unaware of or opposed to the things we care about, we tend to resist them and their point of view. If someone is resisting you, it's time to (1) refresh your understanding of what matters to them and to you, and (2) get accurate about the stories we are telling ourselves and others. In this episode, we walk through the practical steps that can move a relationship that feels stuck and full of friction to one of understanding, alignment, and mutual respect. Insights from the episode: Resistance is infectious - doubling down on your view is not a helpful strategy for moving the relationship toward alignmentGet curious: What are you for? What are they for? What feels like a threat to those things? Separate facts (things that are mutually observed and all parties would agree on) from explanations (the stories we tell to make sense of our experience)Resources 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 The Conversation Prep Chart: Use this worksheet to reflect on what matters to you and to those you want to improve alignment with, and reveal an intersection of interest that can drive a new conversation that moves the relationship forward⁠⁠Overview of the Conversation Meter⁠⁠⁠: An essential summary for quick reference on how to utilize the tool ⁠⁠The Bioreactive Styles Assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ WATCH this episode⁠⁠⁠⁠ on YouTubeLearn more about Conversant at https://www.conversant.com/ Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn

In this conversation with Bree Groff, author of "Today Was Fun" and who has advised executives at Microsoft, Google, Target, and Hilton through periods of organizational change, shares specific observations about leadership blind spots in large corporations and offers practical frameworks for creating workplace cultures that drive both performance and employee satisfaction.   Key Insights: The Professional Conformity Trap: Large organizations often mistake formality for competence, creating environments where rigid presentation styles and corporate jargon become proxies for professionalism. This stifles the creativity and authenticity that both employees and customers actually seek. Organizations that are "unapologetically themselves" create magnetic appeal, as demonstrated by early Google's distinctive culture.   The Psychological Safety Framework: Effective leaders implement simple tools to humanize workplace interactions. The "check-in" method—where meeting participants rate their current state on a scale of one to five and briefly explain why—transforms team dynamics by creating context for behavior and establishing emotional safety that enables better performance.   The Micro-Change Strategy: Rather than pursuing wholesale transformation, leaders create meaningful cultural shifts through "micro acts of mischief" and connection. These range from rearranging office furniture to facilitate collaboration, to sending brief acknowledgment messages to colleagues. Such small actions compound to create environments where creativity and engagement flourish.   The Joy-Performance Connection: Organizations that measure employee satisfaction with the same rigor they apply to productivity metrics discover that optimizing for workplace enjoyment simultaneously addresses communication gaps, decision-making delays, and other operational inefficiencies. As Groff explains, "to optimize for joy and fun means you're automatically optimizing for all of the other things that make a business successful."   Leadership Characteristics That Drive Culture Change: The most effective leaders demonstrate two key traits: they avoid taking themselves too seriously while thinking expansively about possibilities. Groff cites Melissa Goldie, former Chief Marketing Officer of Calvin Klein, who maintained perspective with phrases like "there's no such thing as a fashion emergency" while pursuing ambitious creative projects.   This discussion provides concrete tools for leaders seeking to create environments where high performance and genuine workplace satisfaction reinforce each other, drawn from real-world applications across major corporate environments.   Get Bree's book here: https://shorturl.at/NMyys Today Was Fun: A Book About Work (Seriously)   Here are some free gifts for you: Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

Law #6: Inclusion - "Differences + Trust = Brilliance"Inclusion isn't a side initiative - it's a leadership skill that drives performance Collaboration requires not only navigating differences across a team but leveraging them in ways that drive valuable results and fuel future successes. Leaders often express fatigue around inclusion efforts that feel bureaucratic or disconnected from business outcomes, and those that occur as performative (e.g. asking for input without real power-sharing) rather than generative (e.g. co-creating strategy, surfacing dissent, integrating frontline insight into decision-making). Teams that can engage multiple lenses, lived experiences, and cognitive styles make better decisions, faster. This inclusion of various perspectives is especially important when navigating ambiguity or complexity. Harnessing the value of difference requires stewarding an environment of trust, unlocking the full intelligence of a system. Insights from the episode: Over-inclusion and under-inclusion both erode clarity, speed, and trust Valuable inclusion requires clarity of purpose and a high-quality of listening and conversationLeaders who include wisely unlock creativity, commitment, and shared ownershipResources 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 Decision Criteria Chart: Use this chart to map out criteria that can help guide upcoming decision-making conversationsWATCH this episode⁠⁠⁠⁠ on YouTubeLearn more about Conversant at https://www.conversant.com/ Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn

Welcome to Series 4 of The extra-Ordinary Leader. In this launch episode, I take a moment to define what I mean by “extra-Ordinary leadership.” It's not about being grandiose or exceptional in the traditional sense—it's about adding extra to the ordinary parts of your leadership, life, and career.I open up about my own inflexion point—moving from a full-time stay-at-home mum and vicar's wife to running my own consultancy, working with senior leaders and organisations across sectors. I share how this journey has shaped my mission: to help people access and borrow the "extras" from others so they can show up more powerfully in their own spaces.In this season, we'll hear from a range of brilliant leaders about their own inflexion points—the turning points that reshaped their leadership and lives. You'll also hear shorter solo episodes, ‘Dolly in My Pocket', where I pull bite-sized insights from my book The extra-Ordinary Leader.If you want to think differently, lead courageously, and navigate your own inflexion points with clarity, this season is for you.The extra-Ordinary Leader book is out now.

What if the secret to creating a truly inclusive workplace wasn't found in grand policies or mission statements, but in the small, intentional actions leaders take every single day? In this episode, we're joined by Jonathan Stutz, President of Global Diversity Partners and co-author of The Daily Practices of Inclusive Leaders, to explore how simple, consistent behaviors can reshape organizational culture. Jonathan introduces the concept of "dropping inclusive pebbles"—micro actions that, over time, build environments where people feel genuinely seen, heard, and valued.Drawing from his personal experiences growing up in Atlanta during the civil rights movement, Jonathan shares a deeply personal and professional perspective on why inclusion must come before diversity. He compares inclusive workplaces to welcoming homes rather than “leaky buckets” where diverse talent slips away. Through practical strategies like hosting meaningful one-on-ones, using the "pause button" to interrupt bias in meetings, and applying the “platinum rule,” he gives leaders at every level clear, actionable tools to foster connection and safety.Jonathan's core message is simple but powerful: inclusive leadership is leadership. These aren't side practices—they're essential for building teams that perform, innovate, and stay engaged. In today's diverse world, the ability to cultivate belonging is no longer optional.

Lucinda discusses the importance of cultivating a learning culture within organisations, emphasising that learning should be embedded in every aspect of organisational life rather than limited to traditional training courses. Drawing on insights from industry experts, the episode explores the concept of psychological safety and its role in fostering an environment where employees feel safe to ask questions, admit mistakes, and challenge the status quo. KEY TAKEAWAYS A learning culture is defined as one where learning is embedded in every aspect of organisational life, moving beyond traditional training courses to create an environment that encourages continuous development and innovation. Creating a psychologically safe environment is crucial for fostering a learning culture. Employees should feel safe to ask questions, admit mistakes, and challenge ideas without fear of embarrassment or punishment. The framework of Environment, Permission, and Culture (EPC) is essential for establishing a learning culture. Organisations need to create the right environment, give employees permission to learn, and cultivate a culture that values learning at all levels. Learning and development initiatives should align with the organisation's strategic goals to ensure that learning is purposeful and contributes to overall business success. This alignment helps justify investment in learning programs. BEST MOMENTS "Having opportunities to learn and grow is one of those key questions when you look at employee engagement." "We need to create this environment where it's okay for people to speak up, to ask questions, to admit mistakes, or admit they don't know the answer without the fear of embarrassment or punishment." "A high-performing learning culture doesn't come from one-off training, sticking plasters, and it doesn't come from ticking boxes." "If you look at where your strategic challenges are for the business, make sure that the L&D is aligned to that."

Learn How the Story Behind Founder Fuel Transformed My Life and Business What if I told you that a simple question - "Can you make me superhuman?" - would lead to the most powerful cognitive enhancement formula I've ever experienced? In this revealing episode, I pull back the curtain on the 18-month journey behind Founder Fuel, sharing the exact process my friend Regan Archibald and I used to develop what has become a game-changing nootropic. From fixing my gut health and optimizing my sleep to the precise nano-extraction process that makes our kratom bioavailable, you'll discover how we created a product so effective that every single person we brought onto our team chose equity over salary just to be part of it. My guest today is Regan Archibald, one of the leading Peptide Specialists in the nation and the founder of the award-winning East West Health clinic. As a Licensed Acupuncturist, Functional Medicine Practitioner, and creator of the Peptide Mastery Course, Regan brings cutting-edge innovation to performance optimization and health transformation. He's the author of 8 books including "Never Stop Healing" and hosts the popular Never Stop Healing podcast. When he's not revolutionizing the practice of medicine or working with patients, you'll find Regan in the Wasatch mountains with his family, embracing the same philosophy of challenging discomfort that he teaches his clients. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Healing your gut can lead to clearer thinking, better focus, and more energy. Fixing the root cause of health problems is more powerful than taking random supplements. Deep, restful sleep is one of the biggest keys to better performance and recovery. Small daily changes—like hydration, sunlight, and movement—build long-term results. Natural tools like peptides and clean nootropics can support brain and body function. Taking breaks, resting on weekends, and avoiding overuse helps avoid burnout. Clean sourcing and proper dosing make a huge difference in supplement safety and results. Building healthy habits daily can help you feel younger, stronger, and ready to lead. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

In this inspiring episode of PivotMe, April revisits one of her most loved concepts: the Atta Folder. If you're new to it—think of it as your personal vault of encouragement. April dives into why it's not just for you, but how regularly building up others can radically transform your team, your relationships, and even your leadership legacy. Key Takeaways: What an Atta Folder Is: A digital or physical space where you store positive feedback, praise, and reminders of your value—for when you need it most. Why It Matters: We all have easy access to what's gone wrong. The Atta Folder is your curated reminder of what's gone right—fuel for your confidence. From Self to Team: Start by building your own Atta Folder, but don't stop there. Become the person who fills others' folders too. Ripple Effect of Recognition: When you consistently affirm those around you, you don't just boost their morale—you build loyalty, trust, and culture. How to Make It a Habit: April gives tactical steps for turning appreciation into a routine—one that boosts productivity, mental health, and connection. Quote from the Episode: “Evidence of what you've done wrong is always available—so you better intentionally collect what you've done right.” Actionable Items: Create (or update) your personal Atta Folder with screenshots, notes, and feedback. Give specific, sincere compliments to three people today—text, email, sticky note, whatever works. Build the habit: set reminders or create a ritual to affirm people regularly—at work, at home, or even in the pickup line. The Atta Folder isn't just feel-good fluff—it's a tool for resilience. And when you make a habit of building others up too, you create workplaces, homes, and communities where people feel seen, valued, and inspired. Start yours today—and go fill someone else's too. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love speaks with Dr. Megan Lyons—Harvard grad, former consultant, and board-certified clinical nutritionist—about how high-performing professionals can optimize their health without sacrificing productivity. Dr. Lyons shares that the goal isn't perfection, but performance with minimal health compromise. She identifies common obstacles faced by rainmakers, including adrenal dysregulation, poor nutrition habits, and the misconception that prioritizing health equals losing your edge. Using relatable examples, she explains how small changes—like eating 20–30 grams of protein at breakfast and avoiding “naked carbs”—can create immediate improvements in energy, focus, and long-term well-being. Dr. Lyons provides tactical recommendations tailored for professionals under pressure: building nutrient-dense meals using her VVFP model (veggie, veggie, fat, protein), managing caffeine and sugar intake strategically, and planning meals like a crustless quiche to save time and boost nutrition. She also emphasizes the importance of short breaks, mindful eating, and limiting alcohol consumption without sacrificing the ritual of winding down. Whether you're aiming to avoid burnout or optimize your daily routine, this episode offers a science-backed, approachable strategy for achieving sustainable high performance through better health habits.
