He has lectured on Positive Intelligence at Stanford University and has trained faculty at Stanford and Yale business schools. He is the author of The New York Times bestseller Positive Intelligence: Why Only 20% of Teams and Individuals Achieve Their True Potential and How You Can Achieve Yours (Amazon, Bookshop)*. By overusing our strengths, they can become our weakness. It's just one of the many ways that leaders self-sabotage. In this conversation, Shirzad and I explore how to shift from self-sabotage to self-mastery. Key Points Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them. -Henry David Thoreau We are all a mixed bag of Darth Vader (saboteur) and Jedi knight (sage). By overusing a strength, you turn it into a weakness. Rather than attempting to eliminate all our saboteurs, it's more helpful to be intentional about quieting them down. The four most common saboteurs that show up for leaders are Controller, Stickler, Hyper Achiever, Hyper Rational. Sage perspective: Every outcome or circumstance can be turned into an opportunity. A 10-second brain shift can help quiet your mind and engage the sage. One way to do this is to rub your fingers together and notice the friction to get your mind out of autopilot.

She's an optimistic, joy-seeking, recovering workaholic—and the founder and CEO of the Center for Joyful Work, where she has helped more than 100,000 leaders and teams, including those at Fortune 100 companies, lead with less stress and more joy.

Stress is something every manager experiences. Tight deadlines, constant decisions, competing priorities; it can feel like pressure is simply part of the job.Most leaders treat stress like one big, unavoidable force. In reality, stress isn't just one thing. It appears in different forms, and each requires a different response. When leaders don't understand the source of their stress, they often try to solve the wrong problem or end up stuck in cycles of overthinking and burnout.Fortunately, this week's guest shares a practical framework for understanding stress and turning it into something leaders can actually manage.Amy Leneker is a former C-suite executive, a leadership advisor to Fortune 100 companies, and the author of Cheers to Monday: The Surprisingly Simple Method to Lead and Live with Less Stress and More Joy. Her work focuses on helping leaders identify the sources of stress in their work and create simple systems to reduce it while increasing clarity and joy.In this conversation, we explore the different types of stress leaders experience, how stress flows through teams, and practical ways managers can help their teams talk about stress more openly and productively.Conversation Topics(00:00) Introduction(01:34) Why isn't all stress the same, and why that matter for leaders(04:12) The different types of stress managers experience at work(07:25) Why identifying the source of stress is the first step to solving it(10:48) How unmanaged stress quietly spreads through teams(14:22) Why leaders often underestimate the stress their words create(18:36) Helping teams talk about stress without judgment(22:41) Why unclear priorities create unnecessary stress for teams(27:18) Practical ways leaders can reduce stress while improving clarity and trust(30:02) Simple leadership habits that create more moments of joy at work(33:01) [Extended Episode Only] The three-step “unstressing” method for identifying and solving stressors(36:21) [Extended Episode Only] A powerful team exercise that revealed 73 hidden stressors(41:58) [Extended Episode Only] Avoiding toxic positivity and creating real moments of connection on your team

Stress has become a badge of honor in many workplaces and is often praised as a sign of drive and resilience, even when it leads to burnout. In this conversation, Kathy speaks with executive advisor and author Amy Leneker about why redefining our relationship with stress may be the key we need to healthier leadership and more sustainable and rewarding success. Amy Leneker is a former C-suite executive and leadership consultant who has helped more than 100,000 leaders and teams thrive at work. After experiencing burnout twice in her own career, she became determined to help others succeed without sacrificing their health, relationships, or happiness. She shares insights from her new book, Cheers to Monday: The Surprisingly Simple Method to Lead and Live with Less Stress and More Joy, and explains why joy is not a reward that comes after success but a powerful force that helps create it. In our conversation, Amy reflects on her personal journey through burnout and the deeper patterns that kept leading her back to overwhelming stress. She explains how the stories we carry about work, ambition, and gratitude can shape our behavior and keep us stuck in unhealthy cycles. By uncovering these "stress stories," individuals and teams can begin to understand where their pressure truly comes from and how it influences their choices. Amy also shares how leaders can begin shifting their relationship with stress, both individually and within organizations. Through honest conversations and a willingness to question long-held assumptions, teams can begin moving away from cultures where stress is worn as a badge of honor. Tune in to discover how redefining stress and embracing joy can transform the way we lead, work, and live.   Key Highlights From This Episode: Introduction to Amy Leneker and how experiencing burnout twice pushed her to examine the patterns repeatedly led her back to overwhelming stress.

Cultivating Joy: Leading with Less Stress and More Connection with Amy LenekerIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Amy Leneker, Founder and CEO of Amy Leneker, to discuss the urgent need for a shift in workplace culture. As a leadership consultant and author of the book Cheers to Monday, Amy brings a wealth of knowledge on how to dismantle the staggering human and financial costs of workplace stress. Their conversation dives into the "crisis of connection" facing modern teams and provides a roadmap for leaders who want to move beyond simply managing a to-do list toward leading a life filled with more presence, joy, and authentic engagement.Transforming Workplace Culture Through Intentional Presence and ConnectionAddressing workplace stress is no longer just a "nice-to-have" initiative; it is a critical business imperative that directly impacts organizational health and employee retention. Amy explains that stress often stems from a lack of true connection, where employees may be physically present or "available" on digital platforms like Slack and Zoom but do not feel seen, heard, or valued. By shifting the focus from mere availability to intentional presence, leaders can foster "micro-moments" of connection that build trust and empathy. This transition requires a commitment to slowing down and treating connection as a daily practice rather than a scheduled HR event.To effectively navigate the complexities of modern work life, leaders must first gain clarity by conducting a thorough stress inventory to identify specific triggers and patterns. Amy identifies five distinct types of work stress—including acute, chronic, and relationship-based stress—noting that a one-size-fits-all approach to management is often ineffective. Understanding the root cause of pressure allows individuals to tailor their responses, moving from a proactive stance of "leading their life." When leaders model this behavior, they create a permission structure for their teams to prioritize well-being, which ultimately reduces conflict and boosts collective productivity.In today's hybrid and virtual environments, the foundation of a healthy culture is built on the quality of interactions rather than the quantity of meetings. Amy emphasizes that presence is platform-agnostic; whether a conversation happens in person or via video, the key is to eliminate distractions and practice active listening. Multitasking during interactions undermines the fabric of connection and signals to others that they are not a priority. By creating intentional moments for personal check-ins and celebrating milestones, organizations can bridge the digital divide and build a culture where "Cheers to Monday" becomes a realistic reflection of the workplace experience.About Amy LenekerAmy Leneker is a leadership consultant, keynote speaker, and the Founder and CEO of Amy Leneker. With a background in organizational development, she helps leaders and teams around the world decrease stress and increase joy. She is the author of Cheers to Monday: The Surprisingly Simple Method to Leave, Lead, and Live with Less Stress and More Joy.About Amy Leneker (Company)Amy Leneker's consulting firm specializes in leadership development and workplace culture transformation.

By treating stress as a signal for adjustment rather than an inevitable burden, leaders can reclaim their time and build environments where people genuinely thrive.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Cheers to Monday isn't just a book – it's a movement to transform how you lead, live, and work. It's for every leader quietly falling apart, every team crushing goals while getting crushed in the process, and every human who's tired of pretending they're “fine.” Whether you're just starting your career, climbing the corporate ladder, or reflecting on the legacy you'll leave behind, this book gives you three simple steps to finally break free from stress – and reclaim the life you were meant to live. About the author You deserve to lead—and live—with less stress and more joy. Amy Leneker will show you how. Amy is an optimistic, joy-seeking, recovering workaholic. She's also a leadership expert, keynote speaker, and author of Cheers to Monday, the Surprisingly Simple Method to Lead & Live with Less Stress & More Joy (Wiley, 2026). After two decades in leadership (including ten years in the C-suite), Amy stepped off the hamster wheel of hustle and onto a more meaningful path. Known for her warmth, wit, and wildly relatable stories, Amy has trained over 100,000 people around the globe to lead (and live!) with less stress and more joy. She and her family make their home in the Pacific Northwest.

Amy Leneker is a former C-suite executive turned leadership advisor, “recovering workaholic,” and author of Cheers to Monday: The Surprisingly Simple Method to Lead & Live with Less Stress & More Joy, where she teaches leaders and teams how to break the cycle of burnout and overwhelm. She has trained over 100,000 leaders, including those at Fortune 100 companies, and now serves as a Joy Strategist helping organizations thrive with less stress and more energy. On this episode we talk about: Amy's two burnout experiences and how her body forced her to stop The belief that “stress is the price of success” and why it's wrong Eustress vs. distress and how to tell which one you're in The “stress ruler” tool and how leaders can use it with their teams The Stockdale Paradox, toxic positivity, and bringing real joy back into work Top 3 Takeaways Stress is inevitable, but burnout is not—most high achievers are trapped in the story that stress is the price of success, when in reality chronic distress quietly kills performance and joy. You can and should use “good stress” (eustress) as fuel for growth while actively monitoring when it tips into “bad stress” (distress) that drains energy, health, and relationships. Simple practices—like rating your stress on a 0–10 “stress ruler,” defining clear seasons of hard pushes, and intentionally weaving joy into your normal days—create sustainable success instead of cycles of crash and recover. Notable Quotes “Stress isn't the price of success—it's the thief that steals it.” “My body shut down before my brain was willing to admit I was burned out.” “Joy isn't something you schedule once a quarter; it's something you protect and practice in the middle of real life.” Connect with Amy Leneker: Find out more about her book here: https://www.amyleneker.com/book LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amyleneker Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/amy_leneker Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amy.leneker Other: https://www.amyleneker.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Jeny Wood: Wild Courage Over an 18 year career at Google, Jenny Wood grew from entry-level to executive, most recently leading a large operations team that helped drive billions of revenue per year. In 2021, she started a passion project within Google called Own Your Career, which grew to one of the largest career development programs in Google's history. Her work has since been featured in Harvard Business Review, Entrepreneur, and Forbes and she's now the author of Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It*. Leadership is about serving others – and it's also ensuring that we take care of ourselves along the way. Sometimes leaders over-index on helping their organizations and teams, to their own detriment. In this conversation, Jenny and I explore where being a little more selfish might actually be better for everyone. Key Points Selfish redefined means having the courage to stand up for what you want. People want to join a winning team, even if they don't say that out loud. Guilt is natural, but always caving to it is self-defeating. Don't do work that's not actually promotable. There's no prize for an empty inbox. A belief like “I owe it to them,” may signal an over-commitment to the organization. They will not love you back. Appreciate truth when you get it, but don't sign up for a burned-out boss. It's inefficient to always be in the lead. Draft in another leader's wake.

Episode Summary: What if the most productive thing you could do this summer… is less? In this gentle-yet-grounded episode of the Advancing Women Podcast, we challenge the pressure to “make the most” of summer by doing more—and instead embrace the science and soul of slowing down. Host, Dr. Kimberly DeSimone offers five simple, evidence-based shortcuts to reclaim moments of real joy, presence, and restoration—without guilt or hustle. Grounded in psychology and full of permission to pause, this is your gentle invitation to swap striving for savoring, even just for a few minutes a day. In This Episode, We Explore: Why summer sometimes feels like a grind (and how to resist it) The science behind savoring: Attention Restoration Theory + Positive Psychology The power of micro-rest and ritual for combating burnout The Broaden-and-Build Theory and how joy makes us stronger 5 liberating shortcuts to lighten the mental load Here's a sneak peak! 5 Tiny Summer Shortcuts for More Joy & Less Grind: Do chores in the sunshine – Boost mood & vitamin D while still getting things done. Reclaim waiting time – Turn “wasted” minutes into mini-retreats. Make a ritual, not a routine – Infuse meaning into daily habits. Go outside for no reason – Unplug, un-goal, and let nature reset your brain. Say yes to low-stakes joy – Let go of perfection and embrace play. Manifestatement: You don't need to escape your life to enjoy your summer. You just need to insert small moments of pause, presence, and play into the life you already have. Listener Invitation: What does your micro-moment of joy look like? Tag @AdvancingWomenPodcast on IG or Facebook, or send a message to share how you're reclaiming rest this summer!

“We have to be really thoughtful about how we approach people. We don't know their story. We don't know what they're coming in with or what they need to gain.

Today's Guest is Shelli Roberts. Shelli is a Life Alchemist, Transformational Healer, and Success Strategist who works with Awakened Souls who are feeling the Call to Be, Do, and Have more out of their life – More Success, More Fulfillment, More Joy, More Inner Peace, More Abundance, More Confidence.  After navigating and overcoming a lifetime of trauma, she now believes this state of Being is our birthright.  Shelli's Heroine Journey through Life has been fraught with peril.  She was physically bullied every day of her elementary school years, bullied and oppressed in the workplace, and experienced Narcisistic abuse by multiple family members and work authorities throughout her adult years.  This lifetime of trauma has developed a deep well of resilience within her, and deep compassion for others who are still recovering from similar abuse.  Her own Inner Peace and sense of Well-being are hard-won, as is the personal Sovereignty she has cultivated through many years of Inner Work.  Her passion is to empower, guide, and enable healing for spiritual individuals on this same recovery journey so they may understand themselves in new ways that will enable them to become more successful, more joyful, and to unleash their passion into all aspects of their lives - a lot faster than she did!   Through her teachings and courses, speaking, workshops, and program offerings, she guides Awakened Souls to their Authentic Self, and provides healing, coaching, and intuitive tools and techniques for greater self-awareness and greater Soul connection, and practical life application as we navigate our Soul Path experiences towards personal mastery and our Highest Expression.
