Podcasts about leadership identity

Celebration isn't a bonus — it's a biological and leadership necessity. This episode redefines motivation for high-capacity humans and shows how to reinforce identity through small, intentional wins.You're doing the work — but are you letting it land?In today's episode of Identity-Level Recalibration, Julie Holly speaks directly to high-capacity humans who've traded celebration for speed — and are wondering why momentum won't stick.This isn't mindset work. It's identity recalibration — the shift that makes all the other tools work.You'll discover:Why your brain needs celebration to build real motivationWhat dopamine really does when you pause to feel the winHow most high performers wire for depletion instead of driveThe leadership lesson from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's celebratory cultureA coaching insight Julie shares with every client who feels “off” or “stuck”This episode is a permission slip and a recalibration tool — to remind you that slowing down to celebrate isn't soft. It's strategic. It's identity-aligned. And it's the key to sustainable success.Each episode includes a Micro-Recalibration — a small, identity-aligned action or reflection to help you integrate this shift. These prompts are used by listeners and leaders alike for journaling, personal clarity, and team conversations.Micro-Recalibration PromptTake 3 minutes to celebrate one small win from the past 72 hours.Text someone. Voice memo yourself. Light a candle. Dance. Breathe.Then finish this sentence: “This win shows I'm becoming the kind of person who…”Leading others? Pause a moment of progress and name it out loud. Say, “Let's pause here. This matters.”Because what you celebrate, you reinforce.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

You've grown — but the old space still holds expectations. This episode helps high-capacity humans release guilt and reframe expansion as stewardship.You've changed. But the systems, relationships, and roles around you? They haven't.What used to fit now feels tight. What once felt like “home” now leaves you restless. And yet… you hesitate to move forward. Because no one told you that outgrowing the mold isn't betrayal — it's responsibility.In today's episode of Identity-Level Recalibration, Julie Holly speaks directly to high-capacity humans who've done the work, gained clarity, and now find themselves in misaligned environments that no longer reflect who they're becoming.This episode will guide you through:Why letting go of what used to work is not abandonment, it's alignmentHow perfectionism, people-pleasing, or past conditioning keep you “performing” for roles you've already outgrownThe difference between disclosure and true vulnerabilityWhy stewardship sometimes means stepping away — not sticking it outA powerful recalibration moment from the life of Ray Kroc — and how his expansion mindset changed everythingYou'll walk away with language for what you're feeling, clarity on what it means, and permission to grow forward — without guilt or apology.To make it easy for you to apply this, every episode includes a Micro-Recalibration — a small, identity-aligned action you can take today. Many listeners use these prompts for journaling or reflection, and they're often shared with friends or teammates navigating similar growth.Here's your recalibration for today:Micro-Recalibration Prompt:Where in your life are you still trying to fit a mold you've already outgrown?Name the space — and how it used to serve youAsk: “If I saw this as stewardship, not self-centeredness… what would I do next?”Then take one small step toward alignment.If you lead others — where might your permission to grow become someone else's permission to try?Because when you expand, you create space for others to rise.Remember: You're not too much. You're just too expanded for the container that once held you.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Is it selfish to want more? In this episode, we reframe guilt around growth, explore nervous system cues, and show how expansion — when anchored in identity — becomes an act of service, not ego.You've poured into others. You've stayed loyal.But now, you feel the pull to grow. And then comes the guilt.Is it selfish to want more?In this episode of Identity-Level Recalibration, we unpack one of the quietest tensions high-capacity professionals face — the fear that growth means abandonment. That wanting more might look like ego. That becoming someone new might betray who you've been.Here's what we explore:Why ambition isn't arrogance — it's often a call to stewardshipHow nervous system misalignment shows up when you shrinkWhat happens when your outer life expands faster than your circlesThe real reason shrinking doesn't bring peace — and what doesWhy Estée Lauder's story reminds us that vision isn't selfish — it's serviceJulie Holly shares a pivotal moment from her own life — transitioning from public education into full-time real estate and podcasting — and the quiet discomfort that came when others didn't understand her shift.This isn't about pushing harder. It's about anchoring deeper.Today's Micro-Recalibration: Ask yourself: – Where am I hesitating out of fear of being seen as selfish? – Where am I shrinking to stay accepted? – What's one area where I can lean into growth as stewardship?If others look to you — as a manager, parent, partner, or friend — let your clarity become permission for them. Model what anchored expansion looks like.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

If you've been hesitating, second-guessing, or shrinking to stay liked — this episode is your invitation to lead from identity, not approval. You're already confirmed. Now it's time to live like it.How much of your life is quietly shaped by the need for permission?You don't need applause to live aligned. You don't need validation to act on what you already know is true. But most high-capacity humans — especially those carrying unseen responsibility — are stuck in a quiet habit of identity delay.We call it wisdom. Caution. Responsiveness.But the deeper truth?Waiting for permission is just fear in disguise.In this episode, we name the hidden cost of approval-seeking — and why delaying your next step until others feel comfortable will fragment your identity, drain your leadership energy, and slow your God-given momentum.You'll learn:The signs of identity delay and how it shows up in high-performing livesWhy borrowed confidence never sustains clarityWhat it looks like to shift from external approval to vertical alignmentHow Daymond John modeled identity-led leadership (long before Shark Tank)A practical recalibration to stop asking for applause and start living alignedThis episode isn't about being loud or rebellious — it's about being anchored.When you stop shrinking to be understood, you step into the authority of who God already made you to be.Today's Micro-Recalibration:Make one decision without asking for applause, feedback, or permission.Even if it's small — move from the version of you that's already been confirmed by God. And if you lead others, model identity-led leadership by letting them see what obedience looks like — even when it's misunderstood.Want more?Download the Misalignment Audit — and if you're ready for a full recalibration, schedule an Insight & Alignment call.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

You're not waiting to become someone new — you're already becoming. This episode reveals how one daily decision, rooted in identity, can create the life you were always meant to live.What if you didn't need a total reinvention to become the person you're meant to be?Welcome to Week 12 — the final week of Season One — where we move from understanding Identity-Level Recalibration to living it. Today's episode is a full-circle invitation: not to do more, but to become on purpose.Julie Holly walks you through the truth that most high-capacity humans overlook: your next breakthrough doesn't start with a perfect plan — it starts with one daily, identity-aligned decision.You'll hear a powerful founder story from Rich Roll, who transformed his life not with a grand gesture, but with one small choice that turned into a new future. Julie also shares a client story — and her own — to show how quiet shifts are where the real recalibration begins.In this episode, you'll learn:Why identity shifts happen in small decisions, not big leapsHow neuroscience backs the ILR process through predictive processingHow Rich Roll became who he is through one honest choiceA simple recalibration prompt you can use to lead yourself and others today

In this deeply personal solo episode of Leading You, Julie unpacks a quiet but powerful crisis many high performers face: the moment they realise they’ve become a stranger to themselves. This isn’t just about burnout. It’s about identity. About tying our worth to achievement, KPIs, and how much we can juggle without falling apart. Julie shares her own story of hitting that wall—and the uncomfortable but life-changing reflection that followed. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Who am I when I’m not delivering, achieving, or proving?”—this episode is for you. Whether you’re in a season of change, navigating self-doubt, or simply feeling disconnected from your leadership voice, this is a powerful invitation to pause, reflect, and reset. In this episode, we cover: The subconscious patterns that keep high achievers in proving mode Why leadership burnout is more about disconnection than capacity What happens when you outgrow your identity—but keep wearing the same jacket The real cost of shrinking to fit outdated versions of yourself The power of pressing pause and asking: Who am I now? Practical prompts to help you reconnect with your true leadership identity Why clarity creates courage—and how to find yours Episode Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction and episode context 01:00 – The dangerous link between achievement and identity 02:15 – Why high performers get stuck in the “doing equals value” loop 03:45 – The moment I realised I didn’t know myself outside of my work 05:00 – How proving becomes a silent addiction for many leaders 06:30 – The concept of “oversized jackets” and outdated self-images 08:15 – When we outgrow roles but stay because of fear or guilt 09:30 – The emotional and energetic cost of shrinking to fit 10:45 – What happens when we finally press pause and reflect 11:30 – The questions I asked to reconnect with my leadership self 12:15 – How clarity gives you the courage to choose differently 13:00 – Shifting from performance to presence in leadership 14:00 – A call to stop apologising for outgrowing where you are 15:00 – Wrap-up, reflection prompt, and next steps Links:Get the Clarity Compass Mini Program Connect with Julie:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-hyde/Instagram: @juliehydeleadsWebsite: https://juliehyde.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Consistency is pretty boring. It might be the least glamorous component of leadership.  This is probably why it tends to be an underrated leadership superpower. However, consistency is a key ingredient to leadership success, primarily because it allows you to create compounding interest. Your tiny gains over time build up to massive outcomes.  Consistency also thwarts perfectionism. Showing up repeatedly becomes more important than showing up perfectly. This consistent showing up creates growth that casts perfectionism to the side, as it's no longer needed as a tool for success. You start to realize that success is much more about showing up, getting it done, and building momentum on an ongoing basis.  What if small, repeated actions became the backbone of sustainable success in both your personal growth and leadership? For example…  For the last 27 years, I've worked out 6 days a week. That's about 7,776 workouts. Most of them have been pretty average, mid-level efforts. A lot of them have been just going through the motions. Every now and then, there is a really amazing one. The impact has been massive on my mental and physical health. I have no doubt that I have added years to my life. For the last 9 years, I have released 1-2 podcasts a week, depending on our production schedule. That's 940 podcast episodes. Some have been fantastic, even noteworthy. Many have been valuable and helpful to my audience, but not necessarily earth-shattering. The impact on my business and credibility as a thought leader, speaker, and coach has been invaluable.  Consistency creates scaffolding in your life and leadership. By developing reliable habits, you reduce decision fatigue, lessen your mental load, and streamline internal negotiations. When you're consistent, you become a person who gets things done, who finishes what you start, and who builds trust in yourself. That identity shift, from someone who dabbles to someone who delivers, is transformational. Consistency also strengthens your leadership reputation. Leaders known for their follow-through and reliability foster trust, credibility, and psychological safety for their teams.  Showing up again and again says to the world, “I'm here, I belong here, and I'm not going anywhere.” This episode will inspire you to lean into consistency as a courageous act of leadership and self-trust. Episode Highlights: 00:00 The Power of Consistency in Leadership 05:09 Powerful Examples of the Payoffs of Consistency 10:12 Building Relationships Through Consistency 15:17 Consistency as a Tool to Build a Stronger Personal Identity and Leadership Identity 20:44 The Impact of Consistency on Trust and Visibility Links Mentioned: Book: Atomic Habits by James Clear Book: Finish by Jon Acuff Book: Soundtracks by Jon Acuff Hire me to speak: saradean.com/speaking Coach with me: https://saradean.com/executive-coaching-services Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?

Hey, Tribesmen—Episode 61 is here, and this one is for every man who's tired of burning out and ready to build a life that works. I sat down with Ari Meisel, creator of The Replaceable Founder and author of Less Doing, and his story is exactly what we need right now. Ari went from battling a chronic disease that nearly shut his life down to helping entrepreneurs reclaim their time, energy, and purpose. His approach to productivity isn't just about doing less—it's about becoming more. More present. More effective. More in control. If you've ever felt like your business owns you, like your calendar is running your life, or like you're constantly stuck in “busy mode”… this episode will shift something inside you. What You'll Learn: The Crohn's diagnosis that forced Ari to rethink everything—and launched his framework for true freedom How to stop being the bottleneck in your business (and finally start growing again) The difference between doing less and being lazy—and why letting go is real leadership The three-step system: Optimize → Automate → Outsource—and how it changes everything How Ari runs a family of 7, volunteers, and still stays grounded in Torah values What productivity really means when you're leading a family and a business Why being replaceable is a badge of honor—not a weakness What holds most men back from being productive (hint: it's not your schedule—it's your mindset) Key Takeaways for the Tribe: ✅ Let Go to Lead Stronger True leadership isn't doing everything yourself. It's empowering others and building systems that last. ✅ Freedom Is the Goal Not just freedom from your business—but freedom to live, grow, and lead with clarity. ✅ Optimize First, Always Before outsourcing or automating anything, get clear. Simplicity beats speed. ✅ Your Calendar Reflects Your Heart If you're not scheduling what matters—faith, family, growth—it's time to make a change. ✅ The Mind Is the First System Your thoughts shape your productivity. Fix what's in your head, and the rest will follow. Show Notes: Introduction (00:00): Welcoming Ari Meisel to the show and how this episode came together. The Wake-Up Call (01:14): How a Crohn's diagnosis and health crisis launched Ari into a journey of optimization. Productivity Framework (03:09): The three-step system that changed his life: Optimize → Automate → Outsource. Leadership & Identity (10:08): Why many founders are addicted to being busy—and how to build a business that thrives without you. Replaceable ≠ Disposable (12:00): Ari's view on what true leadership means and why it requires letting go. Systems for Family (15:00): How Ari applies productivity at home with five kids, volunteer work, and faith at the center. Practical Tools (18:00): From AI to Amazon Subscribe & Save—how to stop wasting time and start owning it. Business Coaching & Clarity (19:46): How Ari works with entrepreneurs to remove bottlenecks and build effective teams. The Real Reason You're Not Productive (22:01): Why your mindset is the first system you need to fix. Final Words (28:00): Why productivity isn't about doing more—it's about becoming more of who you're meant to be.     This episode isn't just for entrepreneurs. It's for every man who wants to stop surviving and start building something that lasts—without losing himself in the process. Stay strong, stay disciplined, Yigal P.S. If this hit home, take one step today. Go to lessdoing.com, check out Ari's tools, or just start tracking your day. One change can start the shift.

Well, it's because every leader is unique and has their own style and way of leading their team. By coming together and forming a bond in your organizations leadership team, you can begin norming better than ever before. I use the DISC assessment with every client and team I work with and have found it to be a real game-changer for the entire team.
