Fréquence : 1 épisode/14j. Total Éps: 18

We’re Alex Carleton and Melissa Bloom, two coaches who’ve worked with hundreds of leaders and know that leadership starts with being human. In a world full of leadership books and AI advice, there’s something uniquely powerful and irreplaceable about working with a live coach who really sees you. We dig into what coaching is (and isn’t), how it can help leaders grow, and why a human-centered approach makes all the difference. Along the way, we share stories, insights, and simple techniques you can try out in your own life.

Meeting uncertainty with understanding

mardi 28 avril 2026 • Durée 22:03

As we continue to work through the VUCA framework, this episode focuses on uncertainty. When things are uncertain, we can react by searching for more data, more specific details, more information to help us navigate the situation.

But leaders have a choice.

Rather than operate in a silo, leaders can instead foster open dialogue and draw others into the conversation. One of the best ways to address uncertainty is to build understanding.

Join us for a discussion of practical strategies for leading through VUCA times, including: the importance of a well-placed pause, engaging others in the discussion, and fostering collective understanding to enable decision making. We conclude with a grounding exercise you can do at your desk to help tamp down the frenetic energy of uncertainty.

Leading in volatility: V in VUCA

Épisode 15

mardi 14 avril 2026 • Durée 18:09

In this episode, we talk about leading through volatility. Volatile situations are characterized by speed and force. When a change seems to come out of nowhere, the impact can feel outsized for leaders, their teams, and their organizations.

Alex and I explore ways to foster both focus and flexibility to successfully navigate the way forward. We discuss how re-focusing on purpose, adjusting timeframes, and aligning people around near-term objectives lays a foundation for adapting to volatile conditions. We also present practical techniques, including breathing exercises, to help leaders stay grounded and effective during turbulent times.

Leading through uncertainty

Épisode 14

mardi 31 mars 2026 • Durée 28:38

This episode is the first in a series focused on leading through uncertainty. Recently, we’ve been talking with many of our clients about ways to adapt their leadership to current conditions. As things become more uncertain and ambiguous, it can feel more difficult to make decisions, collaborate with peers, and provide clear guidance to your teams.

Many leaders feel the need to speed up. They feel rushed to gather information and make decisions quickly. Unfortunately, this hyper-focus on speed can reduce one’s ability to gather key information, innovate and be creative, and communicate with others.

In this episode, we explore THE PAUSE. While it may initially feel counterintuitive, the pause is one of the best techniques for increasing resilience during stressful and uncertain times. We offer practical techniques like the psychological sigh and using images to help leaders and individuals manage anxiety and foster a calm, thoughtful approach.
