In this illuminating episode, I chat with Ryan Gottfredson, PhD, bestselling author and global authority on vertical leadership development. Ryan shares the psychology behind transformational growth — not just incremental improvement — and teaches how our subconscious mental models determine the success we experience.
We dive into the emotional experience of being fired, why we feel destined for more, and how to shift from a deficit mindset (fear, scarcity, proving) to an abundance mindset (growth, curiosity, possibility).
💡 Highlights you’ll learn:
Why “better things” begin within your internal operating system
The mindset patterns that lead to stagnation or sabotage
How to recognise and break out of deficit thinking
Ryan’s proven framework for personal transformation
Tools to elevate from “doing leadership” to being a leader
Ryan’s work has transformed leadership development for global organisations and has been featured in top journals, including Leadership Quarterly and Journal of Management.
🎧 Press play to learn the science of becoming the version of yourself you know you’re meant to be.
