Podcasts about misalignment

Your first month as a leader matters—don't let the momentum fade.In this week's episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, Karen Gombault breaks down what really needs to happen in the critical first 30 days of a new leadership role. The initial excitement has worn off, the hallway hellos have faded, and now all eyes are on you to lead.This episode delivers five strategic moves to help you transition from being the “new hire” to a respected, trusted leader who gets things done—without falling into the trap of overthinking, overworking, or burning out.Whether you've just stepped into a new role or want to reset your leadership presence, this episode will help you lead with confidence and intention in the moments that matter most.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:1. Clarify your mandate—don't assume alignment. Ask your boss directly: “What does success look like in 90 days?” Get it in writing and compare it with what your team expects. Misalignment erodes trust fast.2. Define your leadership style early. Let your team know how you operate—your preferences, boundaries, and expectations. Consistency builds psychological safety and makes you easier to follow.3. Deliver a visible, meaningful win. Find a low-risk, high-impact problem to solve. Don't wait for people to notice—communicate what you did and why it matters.4. Deepen relationships with key players. Schedule check-ins with your boss, your team, and key peers. Use “reverse feedback” meetings to invite trust and collaboration.5. Anchor yourself emotionally. Imposter syndrome often kicks in by week four. Keep a list of what's working and give yourself credit—your brain needs proof that you're making progress.“People this month might not be giving you polite in the hallway anymore. And they're looking and starting to judge—which by the way is completely normal.” - Karen GombaultBy the end of your first month, you're no longer the new person. You're the leader. This episode gives you the practical steps to solidify trust, define your leadership brand, and stay grounded while pressure builds. Start making intentional choices that build your credibility from day one.RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS:Free Resource: Build Your Visibility At Work → https://www.karengombault.com/getnoticedStart with Catalyst – A focused 6-week coaching sprint to solve one real leadership challenge with strategy, momentum, and results.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 402 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden  and Dr. Craig Spodak GUEST: Erika Pusillo  DESCRIPTION In this episode, Pete, Craig, and Erika discuss the critical aspects of hiring associates in dental practices, focusing on economic expectations, communication, compensation, cultural fit, and the importance of aligning treatment philosophies.  They break down the need for clarity in communication, understanding the true value of compensation beyond percentages, and the significance of cultural fit in ensuring successful associate relationships.  TAKEAWAYS Communication is more of an art than a science. Clarity is kindness; unclear expectations lead to failed associateships. Compensation should be discussed in terms of take-home pay, not just percentages. Cultural fit is crucial for successful associate relationships. Associates should ask about practice growth and performance history. Hiring should focus on long-term goals, not just immediate needs. Continuous communication is essential to prevent misunderstandings. Hunger and integrity are unteachable qualities in associates. Practice owners should be transparent about financials and opportunities. Shadowing can help assess cultural fit before hiring.

Ever felt torn between pushing forward and pulling back—but weren't sure if it was fear talking or your intuition trying to guide you? In this episode, Nicole unpacks how to tell the difference between fear and misalignment, a distinction that can make or break your next move, especially as an entrepreneur or anyone on a path of growth. Using the lens of Human Design, she breaks down how fear shows up through specific gates in the chart, what role the spleen, Ajna, and solar plexus centers play, and why fear often feels like logic when it's actually conditioning. You'll learn how to recognize the unique frequency of each type of fear—mental, emotional, and intuitive—and how they show up in your body. Nicole shares real-world examples from clients and her own experience to show how Human Design isn't just theory—it's a tool for decision-making, trust, and breaking lifelong patterns. She also offers practical ways to start noticing and working with your own fear signatures without getting stuck in analysis. If you've ever found yourself overthinking a decision or second-guessing your path, this episode will help you tune out the noise and tune into what's truly aligned for you.   Learn more about your Human Design and get your full chart for free at https://www.nicolelaino.com/chart Be sure to visit nicolelaino.com/podcastlinks for all of the current links to events, freebies, and more!

In this solo episode of Energy Medicine, Dr. Mary Sanders breaks down how spinal misalignments can do more than just affect your posture—they can disrupt nerve flow, throw off your hormones, and create energetic blocks that ripple through your entire system. She dives into the powerful connection between the physical body and your energetic field, and how one always affects the other.Drawing from her background in chiropractic care and energy medicine, Dr. Mary walks us through how the spine, chakras, and biofield all work together. If you've ever felt off but couldn't quite explain why, this episode will help you start connecting the dots—and tune into your own healing from both the inside and out.Key Takeaways:✨ A single spinal misalignment (subluxation) can disrupt nerve flow and hormonal balance.✨ Spinal nerves form plexuses that connect directly to organs and endocrine glands.✨ Each chakra corresponds with a spinal region and its related hormonal function.✨ Misalignments can create energetic blocks in the chakra system.✨ Your biofield absorbs energy from your environment, affecting your physical health.✨ Chronic energetic imbalances can eventually cause structural issues in the spine.✨ Healing works both ways—physical alignment supports energetic flow, and vice versa.✨ Real transformation happens when science and spirit work together.Contact Dr. Mary:Website: www.drmarysanders.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.maryesanders/Email: mary@drmarysanders.com The Ultimate Meditation Guide to Unleash Your Authentic Self

In this episode of The Internal Comms Podcast, host Katie Macaulay sits down with alignment strategist and leadership coach Zora Artis to explore a crucial question: how can internal comms teams unite people around what matters most? It's no easy task, but Zora brings three decades of in-the-trenches experience. As CEO of Artis Advisory, co-founder of the Alignment People and a partner at Mirror Mirror Alignment, her work focuses on getting leaders and teams unstuck and helping organisations untangle competing priorities, find common ground and move forward with confidence. As Zora's research shows, only 13% of organisations achieve real alignment and she explains why diagnosing the real problem matters more than simply turning up the volume on messaging. Misalignment often hides in plain sight, masked by polite nods, surface-level agreement and subtle misunderstandings, she says. Meaningful, facilitated dialogue – not broadcast communication – is often the missing piece. She also introduces her ‘3C+' model and cohesion cycle: practical frameworks to help teams stay agile, find purpose and work as one. Along the way, Zora shares lessons from elite sport, psychology and her own leadership journey, where curiosity, courage and a little discomfort all play a role. As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Use the hashtag #TheICPodcast to join the conversation, and thank you for listening.

Jeannette talks about the critical topic of mergers and acquisitions, focusing on the common mistakes that buyers often make during these complex transactions. She outlines the top ten pitfalls, including the importance of thorough due diligence, the risks of overpaying, and the necessity of aligning cultural fits between companies Jeannette explains why: Thorough due diligence is essential in M&A transactions. It involves a comprehensive review of financial statements, contracts, and operational workflows to uncover hidden risks and validate claims made by the seller. Buyers should ground their offers in data-driven valuations and not get swept up in bidding wars. Engaging valuation experts can help ensure that the acquisition price aligns with the true value of the business. Assessing the cultural compatibility between the acquiring and acquired companies is crucial. Misalignment can lead to employee disengagement and operational challenges, so developing a cultural integration plan is essential. Successful integration of two companies requires careful planning and clear communication. Mapping out the integration process and defining key milestones can prevent operational chaos and ensure a smooth transition.

In this opening episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something I see every day—not just in my clients' lives, but in my own journey too.This episode is for the founder, leader, or high-achieving woman who's asking: “Why am I still exhausted—even when I'm doing the ‘right' things?”What I've come to realize—and what I share with you here—is this: Sometimes we're trying to build a life or scale a business from a place of healing… But we're still making decisions from survival. Still operating inside systems created by our trauma. Still trying to perform and achieve our way into safety.In this conversation, I walk you through:What it really means to define your Owner's Intent—and why this clarity is the foundation of everythingHow to discern whether you're truly running a profit-focused or growth-focused business (even if you think you know)Why strategy alone won't sustain you—and insight without infrastructure will collapse under pressureThe way trauma and emotional patterning show up in leadership, decision-making, and business designHow I restructured my entire business to align with my peace, my priorities, and my purpose—and why you can tooI also share deeply personal stories I've never told publicly about the decisions, pivots, and clarity that got me here.This isn't surface-level “build your dream life” talk. This is about reclaiming authorship—rewriting the operating system beneath your business and leadership so it's no longer driven by the need to prove, perform, or outrun burnout.By the end of this episode, you'll see your journey with new eyes—and walk away with the language and clarity to begin building from a healed, integrated, and intentional place.

The Great Career Divorce: When You and Your Job Just Don't Match Anymore Gone are the days of the gold watch retirement fantasy. Today's workplace reality? Companies change direction faster than a GPS with poor signal, and sometimes that means your career path suddenly looks like it was planned by a drunk GPS. So what happens when organizational priorities shift and your professional values feel like they're speaking different languages? The Real Talk: Three Critical Realizations About Career Misalignment Stop Getting Your Worth from Your Workplace Here's the uncomfortable truth: if your entire identity revolves around your job title, you're setting yourself up for professional heartbreak. When organizations pivot (and they will), employees who derive their self-worth externally find themselves emotionally devastated. The solution isn't finding the "perfect" company—it's developing internal value that doesn't fluctuate with corporate reorganizations. Safety vs. Growth: The False Security Trap Many professionals stay in misaligned positions because it feels "safe." But here's the plot twist: real safety comes from knowing your skills are valuable anywhere, not from hanging onto a paycheck that slowly erodes your professional soul. High-S personality types especially struggle with this, preferring status quo over the uncertainty of change—even when that status quo is professionally toxic. Communication Before Evacuation Before you storm out dramatically (tempting as it may be), try adult conversation first. Write down your concerns, remove the emotion, and present them professionally. Go up the chain if necessary. You might not change the situation, but you'll change yourself—and leave with integrity intact. The Leadership Perspective: Why Good Leaders Prepare Teams for Uncomfortable Conversations Smart leaders set expectations early. They tell new hires: "We will have uncomfortable conversations. This is normal and necessary." When issues arise, they reference this upfront agreement, creating psychological safety even during difficult discussions. This approach builds trust instead of breeding resentment. The Bottom Line Career misalignment isn't a character flaw—it's a navigation challenge. Companies will always operate in their best interest; you must know yours. Sometimes the best growth happens when things aren't working for you, but on you. Tune In For:

This solo episode of Leading You is for anyone sitting in a role that technically works—but no longer feels right. If you’ve ever felt quietly disconnected, like you’ve outgrown your role but feel guilty for even thinking it... this episode will hit home. You're not ungrateful. You're evolving.And recognising that? That’s not arrogance. That’s power. In this raw and relatable episode, Julie explores: Why saying “I’ve outgrown this” isn’t something to feel bad about The hidden fears that keep capable leaders stuck What misalignment really feels like—and why it matters How self-awareness is your power source One question to help you realign with the leader you are now Why staying stuck out of obligation leads to resentment and burnout How to move forward with purpose and clarity If your work no longer lights you up, if you're delivering but feel disconnected, this is your invitation to stop shrinking and start choosing.

Ever feel drained, unmotivated, or stuck—even when life seems “fine” on the surface? The reason might not be stress or burnout. It could be something deeper: a misalignment between your values and the way you're living.

In this episode, Marcus speaks with Avner Baruch about the invisible costs of misalignment in go-to-market functions and why focusing on traditional sales metrics like ARR and conversion rates often misses the point. Avner shares his journey into sales enablement and how it led him to develop a methodology called Project Moneyball, which digs beneath surface metrics to uncover the real issues. By factoring in soft skills, time management, and process adoption, this approach helps teams identify problems much earlier, often during onboarding, rather than waiting months for reports to catch up.

Diana C. Toman is a global legal and strategy consultant. She's also a heart-driven badass - the mantra she coined during her week at the Hoffman Process. For much of Diana's career, she hid her softness and kindness, fearing she'd be seen as weak. She would hide her generous heart at work, fearing she would be seen as soft in her role at work. But because she is generous and caring, she would continue to act on her generosity outside of work as long as the recipients kept it quiet. Misalignment causes tension and takes its toll. This is why Diana came to the Process. During her week there, Diana was able to claim her softness and marry it with her badass business acumen. What a powerful combination! The Process, though, brought more healing into Diana's life. Her husband has done the Process, and together they've completed the Hoffman Couples Retreat. Through this work and using the tools regularly, they've come through a rough time, and out the other side of a rough time, they are closer and better able to navigate the life challenges they face together. We hope you enjoy this powerful episode with Diana and Sadie. More about Diana C.

Learn how to turn your workforce into your strongest asset, whether you're years from selling or fielding offers now.

Special Guest: Faisal Ensaun In this powerful episode of Empower and Podcasting, I sit down with high-performance coach and entrepreneur Faisal Ensaun to uncover why 90% of coaches fail to launch podcasts that actually generate ROI—and how emotional mastery is at the heart of entrepreneurial success. Faisal shares his moving personal story of transformation, from surviving a war-torn country and grappling with emotional trauma and addiction after immigrating to Canada, to completely rebuilding his life through self-development, psychology, and coaching. His journey is a testament to what's possible when we take full ownership of our challenges and commit to deep, lasting change. We dive into why emotions like anxiety aren't our enemies—they're powerful sources of energy when we learn to channel them with intention. Faisal challenges the modern culture of self-diagnosis and victimhood, showing how true growth comes from responsibility, self-awareness, and mastering our own minds. Together, we reflect on the critical skills often missing in traditional education—emotional intelligence, relationship building, and financial literacy—all essential for a fulfilling, successful life. Key takeaways from our conversation: Success doesn't come from external strategies alone; it requires inner emotional mastery. True ownership—of our strengths, weaknesses, and challenges—builds real personal power. Growth comes through seeking help, not through struggling in silence. Lasting transformation is about shedding false identities and reconnecting to our authentic selves. Resilience is proven not in easy times, but when we navigate downturns with strength and support. Faisal shares how, for years, he didn't ask for help simply because he didn't realize he needed it. His message is clear: the sooner we seek support, the sooner we can heal, grow, and positively impact not just our lives, but those around us for generations to come. This conversation will leave you inspired to take radical ownership of your journey and equipped with insights that go far beyond podcasting success—it's about mastering life itself.   Why 90% of coaches fail to launch a podcast That gets an ROI. In this episode, I'm diving deep into the truth most people won't tell you about podcasting. Key takeaways? Clarity and vision are non-negotiable. Your podcast must align with your business goals. Consistency and structure beat bursts of random energy. Deep audience connection is what turns listeners into clients. If you've ever dreamed of launching a podcast that builds your brand and drives revenue, you need to hear this. I break down the real reason why 90% of coaches quit after three episodes—and why only 1% ever see true ROI. Spoiler alert: it's not about talent or hard work. It's about strategy and emotional resilience. I get real about the four biggest mistakes that even heart-driven, passionate coaches make when they step into podcasting: Lack of Clarity and Vision: Without a clear message, your podcast becomes noise. Misalignment with Business Goals: If your content isn't intentionally guiding listeners toward your offers, it's just entertainment. Lack of Consistency and Structure: Without systems, even the best intentions crumble under a busy schedule. Failure to Connect with Your Ideal Audience: Speaking broadly might feel safe, but it won't attract your dream clients. I also share the shifts that changed everything for me—how I moved from confusion to clarity, from random content to strategic episodes that serve my audience and my business goals. This episode is a love letter to every coach who wants their podcast to work—to be a magnet for dream clients, a platform for authority, and a sales machine working for you 24/7 without the hustle.

Described as a "firsthand recounting of a wide-open relationship, told with unflinching candor from the male perspective", Elle and Vee were struck by the relatability of Adam's ENM story in Seek the Risk, from the overthinking and jealousy to the adventurous sex and deep connection in his relationship. His firsthand account of how he worked through the challenging emotional moments of his relationship with "the wrong girl" is FULL of nuggets, many of which are mentioned in this deep, candid, vulnerable conversation.  Grab a pen and dig in :) What does Seek the Risk mean?

Why is it dangerous to "fake it till you make it" when it comes to your Working Genius?In episode 85 of the Working Genius Podcast, Pat and Cody explore the pitfalls of "faking it till you make it," particularly in the context of the six Working Geniuses. They discuss how pretending to possess certain geniuses—especially Galvanizing, Enabling, and Tenacity—can lead to burnout and dissatisfaction, even if it seems successful in the short term. They also emphasize the importance of aligning work with your natural geniuses for long-term fulfillment and success. Topics explored in this episode: (00:51) Faking It Undermines Team Trust* Faking a role outside your genius may temporarily fool others but drains energy and joy.(3:48) When Observation Misleads* People often mistake visible productivity for true capability and fulfillment.* Internal processes like Discerning or Inventing can't be copied just by watching someone do the work.(7:36) Success in the Wrong Game* Achieving mastery in an area outside your genius often leads to burnout, not true fulfillment.* Mimicking Tenacity or Enablement might bring professional praise but leaves people feeling empty.(11:24) Misalignment at Work* Many early career roles overvalue G.E.T. work, unintentionally alienating people with W.I.D. geniuses.* Discovering the Working Genius framework helps reframe these challenges as fixable, not personal flaws.(15:12) The Cost of Faking It* People often carry unnecessary guilt when they struggle in roles that don't match their genius.* Leaders can free people from burnout by helping them realign with their natural gifts.A note for new listeners/viewers: In this episode, Pat and Cody dive deep into the Six Types of Working Genius, a model that helps you discover your natural gifts and thrive in your work and life.
