Ep#207 Invisible Leadership The High Impact Low Stress Approach

Ep#206 The Days of the Lone Wolf Are Over
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
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...

Ep#203 Trapped in the Shame Spiral of isolation and self-abandonment
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
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

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
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
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?
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...

Ep#196 How to Break Free From Your Stress Habit
In July 2017, I had a heart attack brought on by stress and burnout. Six months later, just as I was getting back on my feet, I was hit by a car. I spent three months in hospital with broken bones, unable to move, and doing hundreds of rehab reps from a hospital bed. It was painful. It was stressful. And it forced me to learn how to handle real stress—the kind that shakes your whole life. In this episode, I talk about: Why stress feels automatic and overwhelmingHow modern stress (mostly emoti...
