Most organizations take their best performer, hand them a title, and call it a promotion. What they don't tell that person is that everything that made them great at their job is now working against them. In this first installment of a two-part conversation, Jamie sits down with Matt Whitehead — Chief Ancillary Officer at Your Health — to explore one of the most overlooked transitions in healthcare leadership: the shift from being an exceptional doer to becoming a leader others will actually follow. In this episode: Why the moment Matt stepped into his first nursing home administrator role cracked the foundation of everything he thought he knew about leadership The dangerous myth that new leaders walk in as "instant experts" — and how that belief causes their teams to start managing them Why the dopamine hit of checking things off a to-do list disappears in leadership, and what you have to build to replace it How to delegate without losing your mind — and why being crystal clear on outcomes matters more than anything else Why conflict is never a problem to be eliminated — it's information to be used This episode is for every high-performer who has stepped into a leadership role and felt the ground shift beneath them. You're not alone — and it's not a flaw. It's the beginning. www.YourHealth.Org

In this Workday Playdate, Erin sits down with psychologist and author Dr. Moshe Frenkel to unpack a powerful truth many high-achieving leaders quietly wrestle with: the belief that their worth is conditional. Together, they explore how the emotional stories we form in childhood shape the way we show up at work, in relationships, and in leadership.Dr. Moshe shares a refreshing perspective on self-worth and the courage it takes to detach from limiting beliefs that no longer serve us. If you've ever felt like you needed to earn your value, this episode offers a liberating reframe.Because here's the truth: who you are is already enough.Inside This Episode:Unconditional Self-Worth: Why your value is something you recognize rather than achieve. Dr. Moshe reframes the idea that we must prove our worth to feel loved, respected, or successful.The Childhood Blueprint: How early experiences of feeling unheard, unseen, or not fully loved shape the beliefs we carry into adulthood, leadership, and relationships.Conditional Love vs. Real Acceptance: The illusion many of us internalize—that love, approval, or belonging must be earned through performance.Limiting Beliefs in Leadership: How subconscious childhood narratives show up in the workplace as perfectionism, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, and overachievement.Detach From Old Stories: Practical ways to identify and separate from the beliefs you absorbed growing up so they stop driving your adult decisions.Inner Healing as Leadership Work: Why self-awareness and emotional healing aren't “soft skills”—they're foundational leadership capabilities.Rewriting the Narrative: How recognizing your inherent worth can transform confidence, relationships, and the way you lead.From Proving to Being: What changes when leaders stop striving for validation and start operating from a place of internal security.Who This Episode Is For:Leaders working to untangle their relationship with self-worthHigh achievers who feel the pressure to constantly prove themselvesPeople navigating perfectionism, people-pleasing, or imposter syndromeCoaches, facilitators, and consultants who guide others through personal growthHumans ready to lead from authenticity rather than approvalYour FreebieYou already have strengths that make you a powerful leader.

Most leaders believe the lie that “hustle” is the only path to success. But true success is actually an optimized daily experience sustained over time. When you neglect your physical, mental, and spiritual health, you become a reactive leader-swinging a dull axe and working harder for fewer results. In this episode, BJ explores the powerful intersection of servant leadership and personal sustainability. Through the classic leadership parable of the Two Lumberjacks and a personal story about how his mom embodied servant leadership, he unpacks what it truly means to lead by serving others. Most importantly, he explains why protecting your ability to serve requires intentional leadership maintenance and practical frameworks for long-term sustainability. Don't miss another insightful episode of Leadership Blueprints with BJ Kraemer.Key Points From This Episode:What servant leadership is all about.Why we can't forget about the sustainability of servant leadership.The importance of renewing ourselves: mind, body, and spirit.What it means to sharpen the saw.Why it's essential to protect your ability to serve to build an incredible career.Quotes:“When your instinct, [and] your life or leadership philosophy is about serving others, and helping people and solving problems and leading and giving of your time, you can easily forget or run out of margin in your life for sharpening your soul.” — BJ Kraemer “Leadership begins with the natural desire to serve others.” — BJ Kraemer “The interesting thing about servant leaders, sometimes it's those people that give the most of themselves that are most likely to run themselves into the ground.” — BJ Kraemer “Sharpening the saw is about maintaining the very instrument that allows you to serve others, which is you.” — BJ Kraemer “The truth is, if you're going to lead people, if you're going to serve others, if you're going to help others grow, you can't do it effectively if you're exhausted.” — BJ Kraemer “The leaders who truly build incredible careers, who influence people for decades, they understand they have to protect their own ability to serve – not because they are selfish, but because they know something way more important: that a sharp saw serves more people.” — BJ Kraemer Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Robert GreenleafSimon SinekStephen Covey on InstagramWest PointUS Air ForceThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change David Allen — Getting Things DoneLeadership Blueprints PodcastLeadership Blueprints Podcast on YouTubeMCFAMCFA CareersBJ Kraemer on LinkedIn

Vanessa shares the inspiration behind her research, highlighting the gap between anecdotal advice and evidence-based practices for building successful teams. She discusses the importance of cultivating esprit de corps—meaning a sense of belonging, value, and psychological safety—within teams, and emphasizes that this must come from both leaders and team members.Our conversation explores practical norms and routines that emotionally intelligent teams use, dispelling myths around individual emotional intelligence versus collective TeamEI. Vanessa provides actionable examples, such as brief check-ins, team charters, and structured feedback mechanisms, underscoring the need for leaders to be intentional, especially in remote or hybrid environments. Questions from the live audience explored topics such as the role of team charters, overcoming ineffective norms, and the courage required to embrace feedback and conflict constructively. The episode is packed with research-backed insights and practical strategies to help leaders create high-performing, emotionally intelligent teams.What You'll Learn- Great teams do things differently… and intentionally.- The importance of assessing your team's norms (anonymous surveys work wonders!).- Develop a charter and revisit it regularly.- Make feedback part of your culture rather than a once-a-year event- How to lead remote/hybrid teams effectively.- Why you want to finish meetings with a Plus/Delta.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Welcome to the Podcast(10:25) - Defining Team Emotional Intelligence vs Individual EQ(19:56) - Common Team Norms: Good, Bad, and Misunderstood(24:32) - Creating and Using Team Charters(27:12) - Activities to Build Understanding and Belonging(32:11) - Best Practices for Team Assessment(36:54) - Feedback and Accountability in Emotionally Intelligent Teams(41:20) - Constructive Conflict and Avoiding Sidebar Conversations(49:33) - Emotional Intelligence in Remote and Hybrid Teams(54:33) - Final ReflectionsKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, Team Emotional Intelligence, Team Norms, Self-awareness, Psychological Safety, Feedback Culture, Team Rituals, Team-Building, High-Performing Teams, Team Assessment, Team Charter, Remote Teams, Hybrid Teams, Collaboration, Accountability, Sense of Belonging, Respect, Onboarding, Team Effectiveness, CEO Success

Here I am, Eliav, super-programmer,” echoed the shout from everyone's phone in the office, “Today the Divik (glitch) broke the computer, and I am running with my cape to save the day!”He: התגובה ברחבי המשרד הייתה מהירה.En: The response around the office was swift.He: כמה צחקוקים החלו, והשיחות החלו להתגבש סביב ספלוני הקפה.En: A few chuckles began, and conversations started to form around the coffee cups.He: אליאב הרגיש כאילו הוא מתבונן בעצמו מבחוץ, מתלבט איך להגיב.En: Eliav felt as if he was watching himself from the outside, debating how to react.He: לחזור למשרד ולנסות לשים את הכול מאחוריו, או שמא להסתכל בעיניים התקרובת ולצחוק יחד עם האחרים.En: Should he return to his office and try to put it all behind him, or look at the situation with humor and laugh along with the others?He: הבחירה הייתה שלו.En: The choice was his.He: בדיוק אז נשמעה הודעה קולית נוספת.En: Just then, another voice message sounded.He: זה הייתה טמר.En: It was Tamar.He: "אליאב, אני רואה אותך עף עם הגלימה שלך... אני חושבת שאתה צריך תחפושת של גיבור פורים!"En: “Eliav, I see you flying with your cape... I think you need a Purim hero costume!”He: התגובות בוואטסאפ הקבוצתי לא איחרו להגיע, והאווירה הפכה לנעימה אף יותר.En: The responses in the group WhatsApp chat were not long in coming, and the atmosphere turned even more pleasant.He: בדיחות הציפו את המסכים, מישהו הציע להעביר את החוויה לצהריים שלמים של סיפורים משעשעים.En: Jokes filled the screens, and someone suggested turning the experience into an entire afternoon of funny stories.He: אפי, מנהל הפרויקטים המאורגן שלנו, יפתח, נתן מבט מחויך ונד בנד ראש קל.En: Effi, our organized project manager, Yiftach, gave a smiling look and nodded lightly.He: "למי יש עוד סיפורים של בלגן כזה? הגיע הזמן שגם אנחנו נשתף!"En: “Who else has stories of such chaos? It's time for us to share too!”He: אתגר הסיפורים המשעשעים המשיך, כשכולם מתרכזים לשתף את כל הרגעים המוזרים והמצחיקים ביותר בקריירה שלהם.En: The amusing story challenge continued, as everyone gathered to share the strangest and funniest moments of their careers.He: הצוות צחק יחד, ואליאב הלך להוריד את כוס הקפה שלו כשהוא מרגיש יותר קל.En: The team laughed together, and Eliav went to put down his coffee cup feeling lighter.He: הוא ידע שטמר שמחיקה איתו גרם לו להרגיש בטוח יותר בעצמו ובמקומו בקבוצה.En: He knew that Tamar laughing with him made him feel more confident in himself and his place in the group.He: לבסוף, פורים הגיע והסטארטאפ הפך לפסטיבל של צחוקים ושיתוף.En: Finally, Purim arrived, and the startup turned into a festival of laughter and sharing.He: כולם הבינו שאין גבול להומור טוב, ואפילו מה שאולי היה מחדש נראה פתאום כחלק בלתי נפרד מחוויית הצוות.En: Everyone understood there was no limit to good humor, and even what seemed embarrassing at first suddenly became an integral part of the team's experience.He: אליאב למד, באותו יום חורפי, לפורים, שנהנה מהחופש להיות פשוט הוא.En: On that chilly day leading up to Purim, Eliav learned to enjoy the freedom of simply being himself.

For CROs and revenue leaders navigating scale, volatility, or retention pressure, this episode offers a grounded perspective on building durable teams without burning them out. Hosted by five-time CRO John McMahon and Force Management Co-Founder John Kaplan, the Revenue Builders podcast goes behind the scenes with the sales leaders who have been there, done that, and seen the results.

Rob Walling is a godfather of the bootstrapped SaaS movement — he's started 6 companies (5 bootstrapped), built and sold Drip for 8 figures, and created the infrastructure behind MicroConf, TinySeed (which has raised nearly $60 million and invested in over 210 SaaS companies), and Startups for the Rest of Us (820+ episodes over 15 years). But here's what surprised me: Rob told me he's more of a creator these days than a software founder. The guy who built and sold an email marketing platform now gets his dopamine from podcasting, writing books, and making YouTube videos. And his experience on both sides gives him a perspective on the vibe coding trend that I think every creator needs to hear. In this episode, we get into the actual mechanics of how Rob runs his business — the team of 11 people, the $100,000-$120,000 monthly payroll, the four brands he wishes were two. We talk about how he eliminated stress from his life through therapy, hiring owner-level thinkers, and handing the project management to someone else entirely. And we have a real conversation about why vibe coding a SaaS product is probably not the opportunity you think it is — even if you have a big audience.
