BONUS: Captain David Marquet's Guide to Becoming Your Own Best Coach In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into Captain David Marquet's latest book "Distancing: How Great Leaders Reframe to Make Better Decisions." Captain Marquet, renowned for transforming the USS Santa Fe from the worst-performing submarine to the best in the fleet, shares powerful insights on psychological distancing and how stepping outside ourselves can dramatically improve our decision-making abilities. Make sure you also check the previous episode with Captain Marquet, where we discuss the key lessons from his book: Turn The Ship Around! A very often referred book on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast.  The Genesis of Distancing "What I really needed was people to think, not just comply, not just do what they were told." Captain Marquet traces the origins of his distancing concept back to his submarine experience. After realizing that giving orders gave people "a pass on thinking," he developed a system where crew members would say "I intend to..." instead of waiting for commands. However, he noticed that officers would sometimes make decisions that were good for their department but not optimal for the submarine as a whole. This led him to ask different questions - like having the engineer sit in the captain's chair and think from that perspective. The breakthrough came when he started asking himself, "What would my six-month-from-now self want me to do today?" The Three B's of Better Decision Making "The problem with your decision making isn't gathering more market data. The problem is your internal, your egoic biases that just come from the fact that you view the decision from inside your own head." Marquet introduces the "3 B's of better decision making": Be someone else, be somewhere else, be sometime else. These psychological distancing techniques help overcome the limitations of our "immersed self" - the version of us trapped in immediate pressures, deadlines, and ego-driven concerns. When we distance ourselves temporally (thinking as our future self), socially (thinking as someone else), or spatially (imagining being somewhere else), we access what psychologists call our "distanced self," which aligns more closely with our ideal self and core values. The Jeff Bezos Example "When I'm 80, when am I going to regret more? Am I going to regret trying this idea and failing or not trying the idea?" Marquet shares how Jeff Bezos used temporal distancing when deciding whether to leave his Wall Street job to start Amazon. By imagining himself at 80 looking back, Bezos was able to see past immediate concerns like his upcoming bonus and rent payments to focus on what would truly matter in the long term. This shift in perspective transforms how our brain processes decisions - from viewing them as "scary change" to considering them through the lens of potential regret. Practical Applications for Teams "I want you to imagine that a team in Singapore is going to work on the same kind of project next month. What would we want them to know?" The distancing technique has powerful applications for team retrospectives and decision-making. Instead of asking "What could we have done better?" (which triggers defensiveness), Marquet suggests reframing as helping a future team in another location. This approach employs all three B's simultaneously:  Be someone else: Helping another team rather than critiquing yourself  Be sometime else: Focusing on future improvement rather than past mistakes Be somewhere else: Imagining the team in a different location removes personal attachment Becoming Your Own Coach "You become your own friend, you become your own coach." Marquet emphasizes that leaders cannot effectively coach others until they learn to coach themselves. He challenges leaders who want their teams to change by asking, "What have you changed recently?" The coach perspective provides the elevated view needed to see the whole field rather than being immersed in the immediate action. Like a sports coach who doesn't feel the hits but sees the strategy, our "coach self" can provide objective guidance to our "player self." The Language of Leadership "The people who said 'you can do it' exerted more energy and felt better than the people who said 'I can do it.'" Building on his previous work in "Leadership is Language," Marquet demonstrates how changing from first-person to second or third-person language creates psychological distance. Studies show that athletes performing endurance tests while saying "you can do it" outperformed those saying "I can do it." This simple language shift helps separate us from the immersed self and provides a slight but meaningful perspective advantage. The Intel Transformation Story "What if we got fired? And the board brought in new people to run the company. What would the new people do?" Marquet shares the pivotal moment when Intel founders Gordon Moore and Andy Grove used distancing to make the crucial decision to abandon memory chips for microprocessors. For a year, they couldn't make this decision because their identity was tied to being "memory chip makers." Only when Grove asked Moore to imagine what new leadership would do were they able to immediately see the obvious answer: focus on microprocessors. This decision saved Intel and created the company we know today. Stopping Time: Planning the Pause "The best thing is you have to plan the pauses. The best case is when you plan the pause ahead of time." Marquet explains that once we're in our reactive, immersed state, it's nearly impossible to climb out without System 2 override. The solution is to schedule pauses proactively. When teams know there will be scheduled reflection points, they're more willing to commit to execution while also noting areas for improvement. This is why agile methodologies are so effective - they build in regular pause points for reflection and course correction. Overcoming Defensive Reactions "Your brain will curate the input - it will always choose to pay attention to things that prove you're right and ignore things that prove you wrong." The immersed self creates defensive reactions during evaluations, retrospectives, or any situation involving performance assessment. Our brains naturally filter information to support our existing self-image, remembering successes while forgetting failures. Distancing techniques help bypass these defensive mechanisms by removing the ego from the equation, allowing for more objective analysis and better decision-making. Acting Your Way to New Thinking "We act our way to new thinking. You want to do different things. We act your way to a new mindset. You don't mindset your way to new actions." Marquet concludes with a crucial insight about change: behavior change leads to mindset change, not the other way around. Rather than trying to convince people to think differently, leaders should focus on creating small, actionable changes that gradually shift thinking patterns. His "Leadership Nudges" concept embodies this approach, offering brief, practical tools that teams can implement immediately.

You're already becoming someone. The only question is—are you choosing who? This episode helps you spot the drift, own your story, and start leading your life with identity-level clarity.If you're a high performer, founder, or leader, it's easy to assume you're in charge of your life. But today's episode asks a deeper question: Are you actually leading who you're becoming — or are you just drifting into someone you never meant to be?This isn't about productivity or even purpose. It's about identity. Because every small decision, every autopilot habit, every unspoken story is shaping who you are becoming.And if you don't name what's quietly leading your life, you'll wake up one day living someone else's version of you — instead of the one you were meant for.Inside this episode:Why drifting doesn't feel like danger — but often isHow unchecked habits and unresolved stories direct your identityWhat Tom Bilyeu's pivot from tech exec to transformational founder teaches us about leading on purposeThe key insight from Dan Allender on how early stories shape your becomingJulie's personal story of recalibrating from image to integration

Your outer life looks successful—but inside, you feel disconnected.This episode explores identity drift—when who you are quietly stops matching how you show up.It's not burnout. It's a call to realign.That quiet tension you can't quite name:You're still getting results… but it doesn't feel like you anymore.You've outgrown the identity your success was built on—without realizing it.This is identity drift.And it's more common than you think.In this episode of the Identity-Level Recalibration Podcast, Julie Holly explores:✔️ Why your calendar can reveal who you've outgrown✔️ How high-capacity leaders slowly disconnect from themselves without even noticing✔️ What happens when your professional identity no longer reflects your inner alignment✔️ Why nervous system resistance often precedes conscious decision-making✔️ How public-facing leaders like Brené Brown model the courage to recalibrateWhether you're:Wrestling with staying in a role that no longer feels trueCarrying the weight of visibility without feeling seenTorn between responsibility and resonanceFeeling misaligned with your calendar, team, or current leadership identityLonging to show up fully, without the inner fractureThis conversation will give you the clarity to name it, the permission to realign, and a step toward living from wholeness—not obligation.Today's recalibration moment:Where in your life have you drifted from who you know you are?Look at your calendar.Look at your energy.Look at your relationships.Where are you still showing up as a version of yourself that no longer fits?Today, ask yourself:"What's no longer mine to hold?"(And let your answer be enough.)If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

This quote summarizes it all: “The fire burned brighter inside of me than around me," by Joshua Graham. What would change if you could learn to embrace the fire as a transformative force rather than a destructive one? I encourage everyone to reflect on what they are carrying that is no longer theirs to bear and to allow the fire to burn away those burdens.

But you, when you fast,anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to befasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees insecret will reward you openly.Leadership BEGINS With What YOU Do PRIVATELY.# 1: The DEVELOPER — God REVEALS What's In YouProverbs 20:5 (ESV) “The purpose in a man's heart is like deep water, but a man ofunderstanding will draw it out.”2Psalm 139:23–24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart… see if there is anyoffensive way in me.”# 2: The Stop Bath — God SLOWS You Down To FORM YouIsaiah 40:31 (NIV) “But those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength...”“Be still and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10#3 The FIXER — God SETS In Place What He Has Done In You“After you have suffered a little while, God will restore you and make youstrong, firm, and steadfast.” — 1 Peter 5:10

Welcome to Series 4 of The extra-Ordinary Leader.

In this solo episode, I open up about one of the most emotional experiences of my life after dropping my son off at the United States Naval Academy. It stirred something profound within me, and I felt compelled to share what I learned about self-leadership, emotional resilience, and staying grounded during life's most significant transitions. I discuss what it means to be truly unshakable, not by avoiding emotions, but by standing firm in our values and leading ourselves through difficult moments with honesty and compassion. This isn't about perfection. It's about clarity, progress, and choosing to lead from a place of strength and grace, even when the ground feels unsteady. I also reflect on what it looks like to stop waiting for permission. To be your green light. Watching my son step into his purpose reminded me that we all can lead ourselves with intention. And when we do, we become the kind of leaders others naturally want to follow.  

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Crissy Conner—visibility strategist and founder of The Visible CEO—to unpack the real CEO mindset. From grounding rituals to emotional intelligence, Crissy shares how introverts can lead, show up intentionally, and scale their businesses without burning out. She breaks down her 5-part daily CEO State and explores the intersection of mindset, strategy, and showing up powerfully online. Whether you're building in silence or center stage, this episode is your invitation to lead with conviction and self-trust. About the Guest:Crissy Conner is a visibility strategist, certified coach, and founder of The Visible CEO. Known for doing 100 live videos in a month, she empowers entrepreneurs—especially introverted women—to become unforgettable by leading with intention, self-leadership, and authentic visibility. Crissy is passionate about helping others move past fear and show up in ways that are sustainable and impactful.   Key Takeaways: The CEO State is a daily practice grounded in movement, mindset, focus, expansion, and embodiment. Introverts can lead with power by aligning visibility with purpose—not noise. Emotional intelligence is a leadership superpower. Triggers are teachers. True visibility is about being seen and heard so others can feel seen and heard too. Strategy + mindset = sustainable success. One without the other leads to stagnation. Bold action doesn't require scale—it requires stretch.   Connect with Crissy Conner: Website: www.thevisibleceo.com Social Media: @CrissyConner on all platforms   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Josefine shares the inspiration behind the book, which is based on the story of a coaching client who successfully navigated a toxic leadership environment. You'll learn how to identify the early signals of stress in yourself and your team, apply tools like the Stress Staircase and the Three Relationship Circles, and recognize behaviors like “praise with a twist.” Most importantly, Josefine emphasizes the critical turning point: recognizing that while you can't change a selfish leader, you can change how you manage yourself to better navigate the relationship. If you're looking for insights on how to manage up, preserve your well-being, and lead yourself through challenging leadership dynamics, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “To qualify as a selfish leader, the way I use the term: it's someone who puts their own interests before the interests of the common good of the company, of the team, and of the people.” “Your breath is the only vital response you can control. It's your way back to calm in the moment.” “Over-responsibility is a shadow trait of high achievers. When you are highly responsible, it has a dark side. It makes it difficult for you to let go.” “I cannot change him. I can somehow manage him, but it is about how I manage myself to manage him.” “The turning point comes when you stop trying to change them and start managing yourself.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:07 Start of Interview 02:20 Why This Book?
