IDEAS+LEADERS

In episode 320 of the IDEAS+LEADERS Podcast, I’m joined by Dr Maria Nemeth, psychologist, pioneer in human development and coach training, and author of The Energy of Money and Mastering Life’s Energies. She works with leaders, entrepreneurs and business owners who have achieved success but feel stuck or unsure what comes next.
Maria’s TED talk asks a simple question: would it be OK with you if life got easier? We talk about why so many of us make our lives more complicated than they need to be, and what it takes to live without regret. Maria also shares a little about her next book.

In this episode, we discuss:
Why we so often make life harder than it needs to be

The question from Maria’s TED talk, and why it is harder to answer than it sounds

What it means to live without regret

Maria’s next book

Tune in for a positive and heartwarming conversation about ease, regret and living a life that feels right.

In episode 319 of the IDEAS+LEADERS Podcast, I’m joined by Elizabeth White, licensed mental health counsellor and founder of the Well Counseling Group and Loving Life with Liz. For more than a decade she has worked with women in high-stress roles, from CEOs and attorneys to professional athletes. For the past twelve seasons she has also served as Team Clinician for the Indianapolis Colts and sits on the NFL’s mental health advisory council.
Many high achievers know how to push, perform and carry everything. Far fewer know how to stop. Elizabeth shares what elite athletes can teach leaders about pressure and recovery, and why giving yourself rest matters just as much as the work itself.

In this episode, we discuss:
What it really means to be a high achiever, and what it can cost

Lessons leaders can learn from elite NFL athletes

Why rest is just as important as work

How to keep performing at a high level without burning out

Tune in for a practical conversation about high performance, rest and sustainable success.

In this episode of the IDEAS+LEADERS Podcast, I’m joined by Ruth E. Andermatt, founder of A.C.E. Inc. in Vancouver and a leadership coach with nearly three decades of experience working with senior leaders and C-suite executives, primarily women. A former university ice hockey scholarship athlete, Ruth also worked in corporate leadership as the only woman at her level.
Ruth shares what sport taught her about leadership: you practise so you are ready to show up, no matter what the day brings. We talk about why self-leadership and self-reflection are the foundation of leading others, why even the most successful leaders need a coach, and how women can rebuild their confidence when it has been shaken.

In this episode, we discuss:
Lessons from sport: practising so you’re ready to show up no matter what

Why every leader needs a coach

Self-leadership and the power of self-reflection

How to rebuild your confidence, step by step

Why strong women should support other strong women in the room

Tune in for an honest and practical conversation about self-leadership, confidence and women supporting women.

In episode 317 of the IDEAS+LEADERS Podcast, I’m joined by Jesus de la Garza, leadership consultant, executive coach and founder of Monarch Leaders. Jesus has more than 40 years of experience as an entrepreneur and has delivered over 1,000 leadership sessions for the Entrepreneurs’ Organization.
Drawing on four decades in business, Jesus shares what really matters in leadership. We talk about one of the hardest balances for any leader: when to inspire people and when to apply pressure. Jesus also explains why the best leaders observe before they react, and why humility and transparency build more trust than authority alone.

In this episode, we discuss:
How to balance inspiring people with applying the right pressure

Why adaptability is essential in leadership

Having a clear sense of direction and knowing your values and talents

Observing instead of reacting immediately

Why humility and transparency make leaders stronger

Tune in for a practical conversation about leadership lessons learned over 40 years in business.

In this episode of the IDEAS+LEADERS Podcast, I’m joined by Dr Subodh Verma, cardiac surgeon-scientist at the University of Toronto, Canada Research Chair in Cardiovascular Surgery and TEDx speaker. He has opened more than 6,000 human chests and is one of the world’s most highly cited medical researchers.
The operating room is one of the most demanding leadership environments there is. The stakes are high, time is short, and no life is saved by one person. Dr Verma explains why the myth of the lone genius doesn’t hold up, in surgery or in business, and what leaders can learn from teams that perform under extreme pressure.

In this episode, we discuss:
Why the lone genius myth fails in surgery and in organisations

How to make it safe for the most junior person in the room to speak up

Staying calm and making decisions under extreme pressure

Equity, interdependence and helping others rise

What busy leaders should know about their own heart health

Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation about teamwork, pressure, leadership and health.
