Ep#213 Leadership Signals: High-Impact Cadence Shift

Burnout Recovery: Strategies for Professionals ·

2026/01/28

Quick announcement for loyal listeners: after publishing every week since September 2021, I’m shifting the podcast’s cadence. Going forward, episodes will drop only when there’s something genuinely impactful and possibly contrarian to share. Fewer episodes, higher signal — same commitment to depth. This episode explains the change, why it matters for you as a leader, and how it frees space for me to focus on new projects and coaching. If you’re here for in-depth leadership analysis, understan...

Ep#212 Leadership from the Gap vs the Gain

Burnout Recovery: Strategies for Professionals ·

2026/01/21

January optimism fades fast. Goals wobble. Energy drops. And that familiar voice shows up: “I should be further along by now.” In this episode, Dex explores why high-achieving leaders often get stuck leading from the Gap — measuring themselves against a moving ideal — and how shifting to the Gain changes performance, energy, and impact without relying on willpower. This is a grounded conversation about leadership, not a hype-up. In this episode What “the Gap” is and why high performers live t...

Ep#211 Fix Your Leadership Blind Spots

Burnout Recovery: Strategies for Professionals ·

2026/01/15

Every leader has blind spots. Not because they’re careless or incompetent — but because they’re human. In this episode, Dex shares a formative leadership mistake from early in his career and uses it to unpack how beliefs, biases, and unexamined assumptions quietly shape leadership decisions. Often at a cost. You’ll explore why blind spots exist, how they show up under pressure, and the practical signals that tell you when one is running the show. Dex also explains why self-awareness alone isn...

Burnout Recovery: Strategies for Professionals ·

2026/01/08

If you’re back at work and already quietly overloaded — you’re not broken. January often pretends everything resets, while your nervous system, responsibilities, and expectations clearly don’t. In this episode, Dex explores why high-performing leaders don’t need new goals, more effort, or a “new you” — they need a new standard. Drawing on Dan Sullivan’s concepts of The Gap and The Gain and 10x thinking, this episode reframes overwhelm, pressure, and ambition — and shows how leadership energy ...

2025/12/25

This Christmas Day episode is a quieter, more reflective conversation about leadership that actually works — especially in high-pressure environments like healthcare. Dex is joined by Dr Joshua Hartzell, retired US Army Colonel, physician, and author of A Prescription for Caring in Healthcare Leadership. Josh has spent 25 years in military medicine and leadership training. His message is simple and deeply relevant at this time of year: Take care of your people. They will take care of the miss...

The team was fragmented, underperforming, and in constant conflict with other departments — a quiet war in full swing. I walk through how I: Connected with each team member to understand strengths, weaknesses, and ambitionsStabilised fragile IT systems and workflows without fanfareBuilt trust, morale, and cross-team collaboration quietlyTurned invisible leadership into tangible resultsWe...

Ep#206 The Days of the Lone Wolf Are Over

Burnout Recovery: Strategies for Professionals ·

2025/12/04

Summary In this episode, we break the spell of the “lone wolf” identity — the myth that high performers must grind alone, stay stoic, and win through self-sacrifice. We explore why this model silently burns people out, why it’s collapsing as a leadership archetype, and what replaces it: inner partnership, genuine support, and a way of working that restores energy instead of draining it. What We Cover – How the lone-wolf philosophy sneaks into high-stakes careers – The quiet suffering that ...

Ep#205 The GPS Inside You

Burnout Recovery: Strategies for Professionals ·

2025/11/27

In this conversation, we go straight into the territory most professionals tiptoe around: intuition, subtle energy, the “inner signals” you’ve been trained to ignore since childhood. I talk about why Western culture is so committed to denial, how that denial fuels burnout, and why your quiet inner nudges are often the most honest, helpful guidance you’ll ever get. We cover everything from witches and shamans, to Victorian emotional repression, to the modern addiction cycle… and yes, the mome...

Burnout Recovery: Strategies for Professionals ·

2025/11/13

When burnout hits, most people think they’re simply tired. But underneath the exhaustion, there’s often a deeper driver: shame — that quiet voice that says, “You’re failing. You should be stronger.” In this episode, Dex unpacks how shame silently fuels isolation and self-abandonment in high performers, and what it really takes to break that destructive cycle. Through the story of “Mark,” a high-achieving executive who spiralled into withdrawal and disconnection, Dex reveals the hidden mechani...

Ep#202 Not Good Enough

Burnout Recovery: Strategies for Professionals ·

2025/11/06

In this episode, Dex unpacks how early conditioning shapes what we see as “truth,” and how those truths quietly drive our adult stress, dissatisfaction, and burnout. You’ll hear how our sense of being “not good enough” often began as a misguided attempt to stay loved and safe—and how that same belief now keeps us disconnected from joy and ease. Dex shares a personal story about a moment of beauty that felt strangely unsatisfying—and how that revealed a buried old belief still running the show...

Ep#201 10x Results with Psychological Flexibility

2025/10/30

When I first stepped into leadership, I kept doing what had always worked — analysing everything and making the right call. It strangled my team’s freedom. Sound familiar? If you’re a driven professional who’s starting to feel the burn, this episode is for you. We’re talking psychological flexibility — the ability to be present, open, and adaptive, even when your mind and emotions are pulling you in old directions. You’ll learn: Why your success-driven habits might now be holding you b...

Ep#200 You're Trying to Control The Wrong Thing

Burnout Recovery: Strategies for Professionals ·

2025/10/23

Most leaders think they’re holding it all together under duress. But often what they’re really doing is gripping the steering wheel of a car that’s already crashed. Control feels powerful, but it’s actually a symptom of fear. When fear runs the show, we end up managing people instead of leading them, and circumstances instead of ourselves. We seek approval and safety in all the wrong places, forgetting that real leadership begins inside us. In this episode, Dex unpacks why our craving for con...

Ep#199 Finding New Hope

Burnout Recovery: Strategies for Professionals ·

2025/10/16

In this episode, Finding New Hope, Dex explores how professionals can rediscover hope and purpose after burnout. Drawing inspiration from Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning, Dex shows how meaning and purpose are not luxuries—they’re essential for resilience, recovery, and fulfillment. He examines why burnout so often erodes hope, how chronic stress distorts our perception of self-worth, and what it takes to reclaim your power and confidence when you’ve run dry. Through visualization, re...

Ep#197 Is the “Nice Boss” Really Dead?

Burnout Recovery: Strategies for Professionals ·

2025/10/02

Forbes says leaders are ditching empathy in favour of hard-nosed results. I say: false dichotomy. Great leaders know people are the path to profits. In this episode, I pull apart the “nice vs. tough boss” argument and show why heart-centred leadership isn’t soft — it’s smarter, more sustainable, and far more effective. Along the way I draw on research and wisdom from Jim Collins, Shawn Achor, Brené Brown, Ed Catmull, Simon Sinek, Dan Sullivan, and others. You’ll hear: Why empathy and performa...
