She also runs an invite-only mastermind built around proximity to high-level operators and coaches.About the episode: Most leaders say they want growth, more revenue, more clients, more recognition but Dr. Alexa D'Agostino calls out the uncomfortable truth: many businesses aren't growth ready… they're chaos ready. In this conversation, Steve and Alexa unpack what “growth ready” really means when pressure hits: clean systems, clear roles, scalable offers, and metrics that matter.Key topics:“Growth ready” vs. “chaos ready” (and why most businesses are the latter)Why scaling exposes problems instead of fixing themThe non-negotiables: systems, lanes, people, and a scalable offerMetrics that matter (CPA, LTV) vs. vanity metrics (likes/followers)Delegation, automation, and building a machine that works without youFailure: not the fear of it, but the avoidance of what you already know must changeCuriosity as interrogation: using fear as dataMindset as an operating system and why it must be upgradedThe role of environment: outgrowing people, protecting energy, and choosing alignmentIntegrity under pressure: the gap between stated values and calendar realityLinks and resources mentionedDr. Alexa D'Agostino: https://alexadagostino.com/Social handle mentioned: “Dr. Alexa D'Agostino” (on most platforms)Send us a textSupport the showConnect with Steve Mellor Stay connected and keep growing with Steve: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-mellor-cc/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coachstevemellor Book Steve to speak at your next event → www.stevemellorspeaks.com Support the GrowthReady Podcast by leaving a 5-star rating → Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/growthready-podcast/id1406082163 Connect with GrowthReady Join the community and keep your growth journey going: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearegrowthready/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/growthreadypodcast/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/growthreadywithcoachstevemellor Official Website - https://growthready.com/ ---- This podcast was produced on Riverside and released via ...

In this Your Health University episode, Jamie sits down with Colin Stevens, Director of Engagement at Your Health, for a practical and honest conversation about communication—what it is, why it breaks down, and how leaders can immediately improve it. Colin reframes communication as understanding, not just delivery, explains why tone is the packaging that determines whether a message gets opened, and explores how ego blocks empathy in moments of conflict. The episode ends with a simple, powerful challenge: if you want to elevate your career and relationships, start by becoming a better listener. www.YourHealth.Org

We explore how influence changes relationships, why clarity separates you from others, and why strong leaders are often assumed to need less support.This episode reframes leadership loneliness not as a flaw, but as a structural reality — and gives you practical ways to manage it without burning out or isolating yourself.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Connect With Devan:https://www.devangonzalez.com/connect----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/https://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcastLet me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.

Leadership in 2026 is asking more of us. But, not necessarily in volume, output, or productivity.  It's asking more from us in terms of depth, awareness, nuance, and intentionality.  The old leadership rules simply aren't holding anymore - which is a good thing! In this episode, I break down six leadership trends I'm seeing shift in real time and what they mean for how we communicate, build trust, measure success, and lead humans through complexity and change. Shift 1: Control >>> Adaptability: Leadership power is shifting from control to adaptability, where flexibility, responsiveness, and calm under constant change matter more than rigid authority. Shift 2: Output-Focused >>> Wellbeing-Centered: Burnout leadership is giving way to sustainable leadership, where boundaries, emotional regulation, and long-term stamina are performance indicators, calling leaders to separate self-worth from output and productivity. Shift 3: Information Hoarding >>> Transparent Communication: Trust now depends on transparent communication, where leaders openly share what they know, name what they don't, and commit to frequent and consistent communication rather than gatekeeping. Shift 4: Information Access Point >>> Insight Provider: With AI at our fingertips, leaders are valued less for sharing information and facts that people can find on their own and more for providing insight by connecting dots, adding nuance, and offering a unique point of view. Shift 5: Individual Achievement >>> Collective Wins: Leadership success is moving from individual advancement to collective wins, where authority is shared, responsibility is distributed, and progress and success are measured by how people rise together. Shift 6: Skill-Based Presence >>> Identity-Aware Influence: Leaders are increasingly expected to lead with identity awareness, cultural humility, and equity literacy, shifting the focus from representation to true belonging, trust, and psychological safety. These shifts aren't about becoming a “better” leader in the traditional sense.  They're about becoming a more honest, adaptive, authentic, and human one. In 2026, the leaders who will have the greatest impact are those willing to let go of outdated metrics and practices, lead with clarity and care, and create environments where people don't just perform, but actually belong, grow, and stay.

When co‑host Brandon Clift and his pregnant wife climbed aboard a neighbour's Piper Apache, they expected a relaxing ski trip in West Virginia. Instead, one engine failed on take‑off, forcing their small plane to circle back as gusting winds pushed them toward the trees. With another pilot trailing the plane calmly advising “hold your blue line” over the radio, their pilots managed a safe landing. In this episode, Brandon recalls looking at his wife and wondering whether they were about to orphan their three‑year‑old daughter while denying their unborn baby a chance to live. He explains how that question cracked open his own perfectionism and catalysed a new commitment to “sovereignty” and action."Is this it?"Brandon shares the full story of the incident and, more importantly, what shifted in the weeks that followed. This conversation explores how proximity to death can strip away old narratives and expose what actually matters.Takeaways – Near‑death experiences can act as catalysts for growth, but listeners don't need to flirt with danger to integrate the lessons. The hosts encourage men to:Recognise the opportunities and support networks already in place.Choose empowering meanings for challenging events, leveraging the brain's RAS to find evidence that supports growth.Adopt identity‑based habits by deciding who you want to become and taking consistent action.Prioritise purpose and sovereignty over perfectionism.This episode is not about chasing danger or manufacturing trauma. It is an invitation to look honestly at the places where fear, old stories, and self protection are quietly delaying the life you already know you are meant to live.If you have been waiting for certainty, permission, or the perfect plan, this conversation may be the nudge you did not know you needed.- Atomic Habits by James Clear  BetterHelp: Get 10% Off Your First Month Of Therapy The ManKind Podcast has partnered with Betterhelp to make it easier for listeners to access licensed mental health therapists who can aid them in their mental health journey.

In this episode of the Your Health University Podcast, Jamie sits down with Matt Whitehead, Chief Ancillary Officer at Your Health, to unpack one of leadership's hardest realities: you rarely have all the information you want when decisions matter most.Drawing from decades of healthcare leadership experience, Matt explains how early decisions were driven almost entirely by gut, ethics, and urgency—long before real-time data existed. Together, they explore the balance between data and instinct, confidence and humility, decisiveness and recklessness.This conversation tackles real leadership tension: when waiting causes harm, when momentum matters more than perfection, and why doing nothing is often the most dangerous choice. Matt also shares a candid leadership failure, what it taught him, and how Your Health built a culture where mistakes are learning tools—not career-ending moments.If you lead people, teams, or systems—especially in healthcare—this episode reframes uncertainty not as a weakness, but as the proving ground of great leadership. www.YourHealth.Org

Most people chase leadership for the title.Few survive it for the truth.David Deane Spread has coached hundreds of CEOs and high performers — but his greatest lessons didn't come from boardrooms. They came from loss, failure, and learning how to rebuild himself from the inside out.In this raw and reflective conversation, we dive into:The emotional cost of true leadershipTurning pain into power when everything falls apartWhy calm under pressure is the most underrated superpowerHow to build authentic influence in a world full of noiseAnd the leadership secret they don't want you to know: It's never about control — it's about character.If you've ever felt like you had to hold it all together while breaking inside, this episode will change the way you see leadership, success, and yourself.

What if problems weren't something to avoid—but something to value? In this episode of Experiencing Healthcare, Jamie and Matt explore a powerful idea: Problems are Currency—but only when we stop pointing at them and start owning them. They break down how excuses form, why asking for help is a leadership strength, how to prioritize what matters most (not just what's loudest), and how small wins create real momentum. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or hesitant to tackle a tough issue, this conversation will help you shift from reaction to resolution.

When tension spikes, leaders don't rise to the occasion; they fall to their default. Today we dig into those defaults with Bill Benjamin, co-author of The Last 8%, and unpack why smart, well-intentioned people either blow up or go quiet when it matters most—and how to do better without losing your edge.We start by naming the two patterns that quietly define culture under pressure: the messmaker who reacts with heat and the avoider who retreats to keep the peace. Bill explains the brain science behind both, from cortisol searing memories to the fear of social judgment that feels like physical pain. That lens changes everything: people remember you in the hard moments, not the easy ones. So we get practical. Bill shares SOS—Stop, Oxygenate, Seek information—as a simple, reliable way to step out of fight-or-flight, regain working memory, and turn certainty into curiosity. Small moves like a sip of water, open palms, or one deep breath can buy the six seconds you need to choose a better response.We then move into preparation for planned hard conversations. Clarify the exact last 8 percent you must say, set a positive intention that signals safety, and ask open questions so the other person talks first. You'll hear why many people self-diagnose if given space, how to draw out their last 8 percent, and how to model being coachable without giving up standards. We close with tactics to reset a reputation: share your growth edge with genuine vulnerability, invite real-time cues from your team, and follow up to measure progress. The result is a culture where people trade ego for empathy, certainty for curiosity, and silence for shared truth.If this sparked an insight, share it with one person who needs it. Subscribe on YouTube or your favorite podcast app, and leave a quick review to help more leaders find the show. Which are you under pressure—messmaker or avoider—and what last 8 percent will you tackle this week?

Ash Seddeek's journey from Fulbright Scholar to executive coach at Fortune 500 companies reveals a critical truth: communication clarity is the primary differentiator between leaders who flourish and those who remain confined by self-doubt. His pivotal observation at Cisco—that top leaders possessed vastly different levels of executive presence despite equal technical expertise—exposed a fundamental gap: many talented leaders were unconsciously limiting their impact because they couldn't articulate vision with conviction or inspire confidence. Seddeek's work on change sponsorship reveals the economics of leadership: resistance stems from insufficient conviction-building, not information gaps, with research showing sponsorship accounts for 70 percent of change success. Simultaneously, he's developing AI-driven communication software that personalizes messages based on individual preferences while increasing response rates and project velocity. For leaders at any organizational level, Ash Seddeek prescribes three immediate actions: conduct quarterly listening tours with stakeholders, resume regular one-on-ones with direct reports, and reclaim strategic reflection time away from constant connectivity.

Most goals don't fail because of laziness or lack of ambition.They fail quietly — buried under daily noise, competing priorities, and forgotten intentions.By March, even the most meaningful goals have slipped down the list… replaced by urgency, meetings, and excuses.In the last years, whenever I work with companies or people in my executive coaching a pattern showed up frequently.In private life: marathons abandoned, educations postponed, mountains left unclimbed. In business: bold visions diluted, priorities scattered, companies losing momentum — not because the goal was wrong, but because it was never protected.This Year in Review 2025 episode is my answer to that problem.After working with founders, executives, and teams throughout the year, one truth became unavoidable:Big goals don't fail because people stop caring. They fail because they lose daily contact.So I stripped goal-setting down to what actually works.To make it memorable, I revisited the conversations of 2025 and selected six voices — from politics, investing, entrepreneurship, and professional sport — each illustrating one essential principle for achieving meaningful goals.No hype.

In this special Q&A leadership session, Dwayne Kerrigan brings forward one of his most personal and powerful teachings yet—an unfiltered look at problem-solving, decision-making, emotional mastery, strategic planning, and the rituals that shape high-performance leaders.Responding to 51 listener questions, Dwayne breaks down the “three pillars of progress,” the psychological layers of every problem, why decision-making is a muscle, and how fear, uncertainty, and overwhelm quietly sabotage performance.He shares the exact rituals he has used for decades—from weekly solitude planning to identity-based scheduling—and the transformative practice he credits with changing his life: think time.This episode is a masterclass in intentional living and high-performance leadership, blending mindset, structure, neuroscience, and real-world business wisdom. If you're navigating fast-moving environments, leading teams, or trying to build a more purposeful life, this conversation gives you a proven roadmap forward.Key Takeaways:Decision-making is a muscle—if you don't practice small decisions with process and ritual, big decisions will always overwhelm you.Your focus determines your emotional life—the meaning you attach to events shapes long-term joy or suffering.Rituals create identity and outcomes—weekly solitude planning, think time, and identity-based scheduling produce clarity and momentum.Strategic thinking requires cadence—yearly visioning, quarterly reviews, weekly planning, and daily recalibration.AI will disrupt faster than expected—leaders must systemize processes now to survive the shift.Self-love, vulnerability, and forgiveness are essential ingredients for emotional mastery and better decision-making.Quotes:“Decision making is a muscle .. and it's a skill set. And often times where we struggle is this area of making the tough and difficult decisions.”“What you ritualized in practice in private is rewarded in public.”“The business side of things should be a game. I mean, it should be fun most of the time.”"What is going to make you a happier and more joyful person, is attaching a different meaning to the events that happen in your life.”Resources Mentioned:Tony Robbins – “Three Pillars of Progress,” Date With Destiny program, life-planning philosophyStephen Covey – prioritization framework (A/B/C method)Waking Up App (Sam Harris) – meditation and mindfulnessChatGPT (Teams) – referenced as part of Dwayne's business infrastructureSOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) – foundational to AI-based workflow agentsIdentity-based scheduling – Dwayne's personal system (Chairman, Husband, Father, Student, etc.)Audio Timestamps:00:00 – How meaning, not outcomes, determines happiness and fulfillment.01:00 – Welcome, context for the live Q&A format, and session overview.02:00 – Framing the biggest listener questions around decisions, problems, and leadership.03:00 – The three pillars of progress and why focusing on problems makes them grow.05:00 – The three levels of a problem: external, internal, and psychological.07:00 – Why fear, uncertainty, and overwhelm stop people from making decisions.09:00 – Decision-making as a muscle and the importance of rituals for small decisions.12:00 – Managing overwhelm through physiology, breathing, and better questions.16:00 – Focus, meaning, and how emotional patterns shape leadership behavior.23:00 – Strategic thinking rituals: yearly visioning, quarterly...

There is no denying that 2025 has been a doozy for women and anyone carrying a marginalized identity.  AND… I'm seeing midlife women step into a completely new season of power, clarity, and momentum. We are the backbone of everything strong and sustainable, including our companies, our communities, and our families. For decades, we've been the stabilizers, culture shapers/shifters/carriers, and trust-builders, and now organizations and society are finally waking up to the value of lived experience, emotional intelligence, and the quiet leadership skills we've built while carrying so much.  There is a growing recognition that our wisdom isn't just nice to have, it's our essential secret sauce, what sets us apart, what gives us undeniable collective power, and what is critically needed in workplaces, community organizations, and all sectors of government. We are also seeing a movement in reinvention. Mid-life women are moving up, out, around, and into what actually fits. We're starting businesses, staking a claim, demanding appreciation, and refusing to shrink or settle. This is happening while we're in the middle of a full-blown Health Revolution. We are normalizing perimenopause and menopause care, nervous-system support, rest, play, and renegotiating the division of caregiving labor in all environments. We're leading this shift, no longer just whispering about it in the shadows, and it's changing how we work, lead, and live.  And maybe the most powerful shift of all? Our confidence is starting to come from authenticity over performance. We're tired of proving, perfecting, and pleasing. Showing up real, grounded, values-led, a little quirky, and deeply human is becoming the new leadership standard women are setting for ALL. We're reframing our struggles as strengths—whether that's caregiving experience, neurodivergence, or navigating perimenopause. This matters because there is real momentum available to us if we pay attention.  This episode will inspire you to think differently about your power, take bold action, and ask yourself a few critical questions to inform your 2026 decision-making.

In this episode, I'm exposing the Authenticity Trap for you.  The Authenticity Trap is the mixed messages women get about “being themselves.” We're told authenticity is the key to trust, confidence, and influence, yet many of us were conditioned to 1) think we need to lead like men if we want to make it to the top to serve, and 2) constantly abandon our own needs and wants to center and care for those around us. That means when we try to show up authentically, we often bump up against years of social conditioning that taught us to prioritize likability over authenticity. The authenticity trap is what happens when the call to “be yourself” collides with systems and expectations that were never designed to make room for your full, real self. In this episode, I unpack why so many women struggle with authenticity in leadership.  It's not because we lack confidence or clarity, but because we've learned to perform leadership instead of embodying it in a way that is true to who we are. We've been rewarded for being agreeable, accommodating, and endlessly capable, even when that performance costs us energy, boundaries, and joy. The result of the Authenticity Trap is burnout, disconnection, and missed opportunities to share your best self with the world.  Of course, I'm not going to leave you hanging without an action plan.  We will dig into simple ways to begin reclaiming your authenticity as a daily leadership practice. We'll talk about getting clear on your values and boundaries, noticing when you're performing versus connecting, and experimenting with small, brave acts of honesty and self-expression. My hope is that you walk away knowing that authenticity isn't a luxury or a buzzword.  It's a muscle that, when strengthened, allows you to tap into who you truly are when you disconnect from all the noise around you. When you strengthen this muscle and step out of the Authenticity Trap, you not only lead with more joy, ease, and impact — you also give everyone around you permission to do the same.
