Think First
Most leaders hit a point where the roar of success becomes isolating and their go-to solutions often fall short. If reaching out to old friends or mentors isn't enough anymore, there's a vital type of relationship you’re likely missing. Discover the radical honesty, clarity, and growth that only a peer at your level can provide and why it’s the secret weapon for truly sustainable leadership.When you’re navigating complex decisions and high-stakes challenges, the people closest to you, your team, family, or long-time friends, often want to support you but can't see the full picture. Their feedback may be filtered through love, loyalty, or even fear, making honest confrontation rare and risky. That's why the most valuable insight often comes from someone outside your immediate circle, someone who’s building at the same altitude, facing similar dilemmas, and can tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear.In this episode, we break down:
- Why your trusted relationships may be inadvertently holding you back rather than pushing you forward
- The critical difference between support and honest challenge and why true growth demands the latter
- How to identify and cultivate a peer relationship that fuels your leadership at the highest level
- The subtle but powerful impact of radical honesty in decision-making and strategic thinking
- Practical steps to build this rare partnership before it’s too late
If you’re a leader climbing higher, whether you're in a C-suite, scaling a startup, or leading a high-growth team, this episode is your blueprint for unlocking authentic, unfiltered insight. Without this kind of relationship, you risk stagnation, misjudged decisions, or burnout. But with it? You’ll gain the clarity to act decisively, the confidence to challenge your assumptions, and the resilience to sustain success.Are you ready to stop having the same conversations and start engaging in the kind of dialogue that truly transforms your leadership? This is essential listening if you want to lead with more intention, make smarter choices, and find the support that actually pushes you forward. The right peer can become your North Star. Don’t miss your chance to find that connection.

The Leadership Operating System
Every leader develops an internal operating system.
It's built from experience, reinforced by success, and often becomes invisible to the person running it.
In this episode, Allison explores:
- Why the habits that created success may eventually create limitations
- How early-stage leadership instincts differ from scaling-stage leadership needs
- The hidden ways leaders become organizational bottlenecks
- Why recurring problems are often systemic rather than isolated
- The challenge of recognizing your own leadership patterns
- How authority limits honest feedback
- Why perspective is often more valuable than advice
- The role trusted peers play in helping leaders see blind spots
- How leaders can upgrade their operating system as they grow
Key Question:
What recurring pattern in your organization might be connected to how you operate as a leader?

Think First
Why Your Team Stops Telling You the Truth
As companies grow, leaders often face an invisible challenge: they hear less of what's really happening.
This isn't because employees are dishonest. It's because people naturally filter information when speaking to someone who holds authority over their career, compensation, and future opportunities.
In this episode, Allison explores:
- How growth changes a leader's information environment
- Why teams begin filtering information
- The role power plays in workplace communication
- How leadership blind spots are created
- Why people stop raising concerns
- The hidden cost of operating on incomplete information
- Why asking for honesty isn't enough
- How to create psychological safety inside organizations
- The importance of trusted peers outside your business
Key Question:
When your team gives you an update, do you believe you're getting the full picture?
If not, what have you done to make honesty truly safe?

The Loneliness That Grows With Success
Success often brings opportunities, influence, and growth. It can also bring something leaders rarely discuss openly: loneliness.
In this episode, Allison explores:
- Why leadership often becomes more isolating as organizations scale
- How the gap between leaders and their teams naturally widens over time
- Why people stop telling leaders the full truth
- The hidden cost of carrying leadership challenges alone
- How isolation impacts decision-making and strategic thinking
- The role of trusted peers in preventing leadership blind spots
- Why honest feedback becomes harder to access as your authority increases
- How to create relationships where truth can be shared without fear
- The importance of building support systems outside your organization
Key Question:
When was the last time someone told you something genuinely difficult to hear?
If you're struggling to answer that question, it may reveal more about your leadership environment than you realize.

Think First
The Core Idea
- Execution problems are often misdiagnosed as strategy issues
- In reality, teams respond to the energy behind the message, not just the message itself
Why Energy Matters
- Same strategy + same team ≠ same results
- The difference is often how the leader shows up
- Energy sets the tone for how people receive, interpret, and act
The Leadership Blind Spot
- Many leaders default to their natural energy (optimism, urgency, momentum)
- Strengths can become liabilities when mismatched to the moment
- Example: positivity can feel dismissive when people need acknowledgment
Key Insight
- Energy is not about personality
- It’s about intentionality
The Three Questions to Lead with Energy
- What does this moment actually require?
- Push forward vs. pause
- Momentum vs. reflection
- Direction vs. collaboration
- Am I creating clarity or just intensity?
- Clarity drives confident action
- Intensity creates urgency without direction
- Fast does not equal effective
- Do people need to be lifted or met where they are?
- Lift: vision, possibility, forward movement
- Meet: acknowledgment, validation, presence
- Misalignment leads to disconnection or stagnation
Practical Application
- Adapt your energy based on the situation:
- Strategy sessions → vision and momentum
- Difficult conversations → groundedness and empathy
- Crisis moments → calm and stability
Cultural Impact
- Your consistent energy becomes your culture:
- Urgency → reactive teams
- Positivity without acknowledgment → hidden struggles
- Calm without movement → complacency
The Leadership Shift
- Stop expressing energy unconsciously
- Start directing energy strategically
Reflection Question
- What energy are you bringing into your conversations—and is it what’s needed?
Call to Action
- Explore the full framework in Think First: Build a Team That Thinks Like Leaders
Think First
In this episode, Allison Dunn shares a personal story about a decision that cost her $250,000 and reshaped the way she coaches leaders today.
When she was launching her coaching practice, buying into a franchise felt like the safe and strategic move. It offered structure, systems, and the promise of certainty. But the day before signing the agreement, her dad asked one simple question: What’s your end game here? Instead of pausing to reflect, she pushed forward.
That moment became a powerful lesson in leadership and decision-making. Often, the decisions we rush toward are the ones most influenced by fear. And the questions we resist are often the ones we most need to answer.
This episode unpacks:
Why fear can disguise itself as strategy
How leaders outsource their thinking when they rely too heavily on someone else’s formula
Why knowing better is not enough to protect you from costly decisions
The role cognitive traps play in reactive leadership
How to catch yourself before autopilot takes over
Allison also gives a preview of her upcoming book, Think First, where she outlines five cognitive traps and five practical methods to help leaders think more clearly, make better decisions, and avoid expensive patterns.

How many of your decisions are actually moving the business forward, and how many are just keeping you busy?
In this episode, Allison Dunn unpacks why speed is often mistaken for progress and how that habit creates a costly leadership pattern she calls the Speed Tax.
You’ll hear:
Why fast action creates the illusion of success
The 3 hidden costs of moving too quickly: reversal cost, cleanup cascade, and opportunity displacement
The difference between motion and momentum
Why the brain is wired for quick reactions, not always clear leadership decisions
How to use decision architecture to separate one-way door decisions from two-way door decisions
The key questions leaders should ask before making important decisions
Why fewer, better decisions can create more revenue, stronger teams, and less wasted time
This episode is a reminder that leadership is not about making the most decisions. It is about making the right ones with clarity, intention, and direction.
Think First
The Bottleneck TaxThe average CEO of a $10M+ company spends nearly 60% of their time on decisions their team should be able to make.
High-income leaders may unknowingly be paying a six-figure penalty for a culture that depends on them to think.
Firefighting feels productive, but it replaces architecture.
The Five Hidden Costs of Reactive Leadership1. The Addition Spiral
Adding people, meetings, systems, and process instead of solving at the source.
Growth in headcount does not guarantee growth in profitability.
2. The Symptom Loop
Solving recurring issues without addressing root causes.
Short-term fixes create long-term repetition.
3. Thinking Debt
Postponing strategic thinking “until things calm down.”
Reactive decisions create 3–5 more decisions later.
4. Innovation Blindness
When you focus only on urgent fires, you miss strategic opportunities.
Competitors capture ground while you stay busy.
5. Team Dependency
Each time you solve a problem for your team, you train them not to solve it themselves.
Execution without thinking prevents scale.
The Compounding EffectThese five costs do not operate independently.
They reinforce one another:
Dependency increases reactivity
Reactivity increases complexity
Complexity increases symptom loops
Symptom loops increase thinking debt
Thinking debt eliminates strategic space
But the cycle can reverse.
When leaders build thinking capability across the organization:
Decision volume drops
Strategic time increases
Fires reduce
Innovation expands
Teams operate independently
Key Leadership InsightThe highest form of leadership is not being the smartest person in the room.
It is building a room full of people who know how to think.
When thinking becomes cultural, leaders regain the capacity to work on what only they can do.

The Core Problem
Most high-performing leaders default to addition mode:
• Work more hours
• Optimize your calendar
• Streamline processes
• Move faster
It works for a while. Then you hit a ceiling.
Efficiency vs. Leverage
Efficiency asks:
How can I do this faster?
Leverage asks:
How can I do this once and create value repeatedly?
Speed improves output.
Structure multiplies impact.
Addition Thinking vs. Multiplication Thinking
Addition:
"I need to answer these customer questions faster."
Multiplication:
"What would have to be true for customers to not need to ask?"
Addition:
"I need to review decisions quicker."
Multiplication:
"What framework allows my team to decide without me?"
Addition:
"I need to attend this recurring meeting."
Multiplication:
"What would have to change for this meeting to not need me?"
Three Predictable Patterns of Addition Mode
The Capacity Ceiling
Your business scales only as far as your personal hours allow.
The Energy Depletion
Addition never ends. More effort produces diminishing returns.
The Strategic Displacement
You are so busy being productive that you never build the systems that create scale.
What Multiplication Looks Like
• Creating knowledge bases instead of answering repeat questions
• Building decision frameworks instead of approving every call
• Designing communication systems instead of attending every meeting
• Establishing quality standards instead of reviewing everything
Multiplication frees you to focus on strategic impact.
Case Study Insight
One CEO shifted from addition to leverage thinking.
Within six months:
• Revenue per employee increased 35%
• Personal exhaustion decreased
• Focus shifted into his true zone of genius
The transformation wasn’t about doing less. It was about building differently.
Key Leadership Shift
Stop asking:
How do I do more?
Start asking:
What can I build once that creates value repeatedly?
Next Step
The executive edition of Think First includes the full Leverage Framework to help you identify multiplication opportunities inside your daily addition work.
Because the goal isn’t productivity.
It’s strategic impact that scales without burning you out.

Main Theme:
The toxic trait no one talks about in leadership is unexamined strength.
Key Insights:
Leadership doesn’t usually fail because something is missing. It fails when something is overused.
Strengths become toxic when they are:
Out of proportion
Out of context
Out of awareness
Many “toxic” leadership behaviors are rooted in good intentions.
Control is often a strategy for stability, not a flaw in character.
Psychologists call this the “shadow side” of strengths.
Common Strength-to-Shadow Shifts:
Decisive → Controlling
Reliable → Over-functioning
Visionary → Detached
Detail-oriented → Perfectionistic
Supportive → People-pleasing
How This Shows Up on Teams:
Fewer ideas are shared
Decisions move upward instead of outward
Initiative declines
Innovation slows
People comply instead of contribute
Powerful Reflection Questions:
Where do decisions slow down without me?
Where do people defer instead of decide?
Where do I feel tension when outcomes aren’t in my hands?
What feedback do I tend to reinterpret instead of explore?
Leadership Maturity Progression:
Early leadership: Competence
Mid-stage leadership: Execution
Advanced leadership: Self-regulation
Core Question to Carry Forward:
What trait of mine is shaping the conditions I’m responding to?

Over time, those answers become “thinking bypasses”
Teams follow the path of least resistance when clarity lives with the leader
Three hidden patterns that quietly reshape your culture
The Certainty Loop

Reactive answers remove productive friction
Judgment and prioritization skills don’t develop
Teams stop anticipating and start waiting
The shift that changes everything

The shocking truth: Only 4% of the world’s money is physical—the rest is belief and confidence.
The leadership link: Your relationship with money reveals how you lead. Scarcity breeds control and hesitation; abundance fuels trust and growth.
White-knuckle leadership: How fear around money leads to micromanagement, missed opportunities, and burnout.
Three mindset shifts to rewire your relationship with money:
The Pre-Decision Question – “Is this decision rooted in flow or grip?”
Audit Your $20 Tasks – Free yourself to focus on $200/hour thinking.
The Circulation Exercise – Make one strategic financial move from confidence, not fear.
Takeaway: Money is energy in motion. When you let it flow strategically, your leadership—and your business—expand in return.
👉 Reflection question: Where in your leadership are you gripping instead of flowing?
👉 Share this episode with a fellow leader who could use a mindset reset around money.

We’ve been taught that leaders should always communicate with crystal clarity. But here’s the paradox: when you specify exactly what you want, you often get work that’s technically correct—but uninspired.
In this episode, Allison introduces the concept of Strategic Ambiguity—the art of being clear about outcomes but flexible about methods. She breaks down three strategies leaders can use right away:
The Outcome Frame – Define the result, not the process.
The Constraint Method – Set boundaries, then let your team find the path.
The Discovery Invitation – Ask better questions instead of giving ready-made answers.

What Is Pricing Power?
The ability to charge what you're worth—without losing customers.
Without it, you're running a charity, not a business.
The 1% Rule:
A 1% price increase = 11% profit boost (if volume stays constant).
Strategy 1: Value-Based Pricing
Stop pricing based on time or competitors.
Price based on the financial impact of the problem you solve.
Strategy 2: The Confidence Test
If you're not losing 10–20% of clients on price, you're undercharging.
Apple is a masterclass in this.
Strategy 3: Anchoring and Bundling
Lead with your premium offer.
Use high-medium-low pricing tiers to make your middle option shine.
Action Steps This Week:
Calculate the value you deliver.

This episode of the Deliberate Leaders Podcast, hosted by Allison Dunn, explores the power of vulnerability in leadership. Dunn begins by acknowledging the common misconception that vulnerability is a sign of weakness, contrasting this with her emphasis that embracing vulnerability actually strengthens leadership.
The episode delves into the definition of vulnerability in leadership, clarifying that it is not about oversharing or excessive emotional displays. Instead, Dunn defines it as having the courage to show up authentically, admit when you don't have all the answers, acknowledge mistakes, and be willing to ask for help. She also references Brené Brown's definition of vulnerability as "uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure," emphasizing the removal of the protective "armor" leaders often wear.
To illustrate the impact of a lack of vulnerability, Dunn shares an anecdote about a CEO named Mark, who initially prided himself on appearing perfect and never admitting mistakes. This resulted in a disengaged team, high turnover, and a lack of innovation because his team members were afraid to take risks or share ideas. A turning point occurred when Mark admitted to his team that he was struggling with a market challenge and needed their input, dramatically shifting the team dynamic, leading to increased engagement and better ideas.
Dunn then outlines three key reasons why vulnerability is powerful in leadership:
• It builds trust: Showing your human side creates psychological safety, allowing team members to feel comfortable speaking up and taking risks.
• It fosters innovation: By demonstrating that failure is a part of learning, leaders empower their teams to experiment and be creative.
• It builds authentic connections: Relatable leaders who share challenges are more approachable and human, fostering stronger connections with their teams.
Dunn clarifies that vulnerability in leadership is not about being weak or indecisive but requires significant courage, introducing the concept of "strategic vulnerability". She provides five practical ways to practice strategic vulnerability:
• Share lessons from failures: Discussing what was learned normalizes failure as a part of growth.
• Ask for help: Phrases like "What are your thoughts?" show that it is acceptable not to have all the answers.
• Acknowledge emotions: Naming feelings humanizes the leader and validates the emotions of others.
• Admit when you're wrong: Simply stating "I was wrong" builds credibility.
• Listen deeply: Being present, asking thoughtful questions, and valuing others' perspectives are crucial.
Dunn also shares an example of a leadership team that transformed their culture by implementing a simple weekly meeting practice where each person shared one challenge and one win. This ritual improved collaboration and facilitated earlier problem-solving. The episode references research from the Center for Creative Leadership, which indicates that leaders who demonstrate vulnerability are perceived as more authentic and inspiring, and their teams report higher levels of innovation and engagement.
Towards the end of the episode, Dunn challenges listeners to consider how embracing strategic vulnerability might change their leadership and their team's response. She provides an action step for the week: to practice one act of strategic vulnerability with their team, such as admitting a mistake, asking for help, or sharing a learning experience, and to observe the outcomes.
The episode concludes by reiterating that vulnerability is not weakness but rather the ultimate form of courage in leadership, and in today's world, it is not just beneficial but a competitive advantage due to the desire for authentic connection. Allison encourages listeners to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, reminding them that "the most deliberate leaders have the courage to be vulnerable".

This Deliberate Leaders podcast episode, hosted by Allison Dunn, centers around the crucial leadership skill of mastering difficult conversations. The episode begins by highlighting the common tendency for leaders to avoid these challenging discussions, such as addressing performance issues or team conflicts, and emphasizes that avoidance only exacerbates these problems. Dunn shares a personal anecdote about a client who delayed addressing an underperforming team member, resulting in a damaged relationship and frustration for both parties, illustrating the point that a leader's willingness to have difficult conversations significantly impacts whether problems become disasters or opportunities for growth.
The core of the episode introduces a four-part framework for navigating difficult conversations: Prepare, Connect, Navigate, and Close.
• Prepare: This initial stage involves thoughtful preparation before the conversation. Leaders are encouraged to define their desired outcome, identify supporting facts, anticipate the other person's reaction, and choose an appropriate time and place. Dunn recommends writing down key points to maintain focus, while stressing that this is for clarity, not scripting.
• Connect: The opening of the conversation is critical for establishing psychological safety. Leaders should begin by expressing genuine appreciation and stating their positive intention to find a way forward that addresses the challenge and supports the other person's success. This helps build a foundation of respect.
• Navigate: This is presented as the stage where conversations most often succeed or fail. The episode emphasizes using "I" statements to present one's perspective without being accusatory, and provides an example: "I noticed the project deadline was missed" instead of "You missed the deadline". Crucially, leaders are advised to pause, genuinely listen by asking open-ended questions like, "I'd like to understand your perspective," and to use the powerful phrase, "Tell me more about that," to uncover important information. The primary goal during navigation is mutual understanding and finding a path forward together, not "winning".
• Close: The final part of the framework focuses on summarizing what was heard, confirming any agreements or next steps, and expressing confidence in future progress. An example provided is: "So we've agreed that you'll provide weekly updates, and I'll check in more frequently. I'm confident we can make this work together". This ensures shared understanding and reinforces the relationship.
To help listeners apply these concepts, Dunn issues a "Conversation Audit" challenge. This involves taking 15 minutes to identify postponed conversations, noting the reasons for avoidance (fear, uncertainty, concern), selecting one conversation, scheduling it within a week, and applying the four-part framework. Listeners are then encouraged to reflect on the experience—what went well, what could be improved, and how the outcome compared to expectations—and even to email the host with their experiences.
The episode concludes by reinforcing that how leaders handle difficult conversations significantly shapes their leadership reputation, especially more so than easier interactions. It highlights that teams observe how leaders navigate challenges and take cues from their approach. Mastering these conversations is presented not as eliminating discomfort, but as moving through it towards better understanding, stronger relationships, and improved outcomes. Listeners are encouraged to subscribe to the podcast and leave reviews to help others discover the content. The final message reminds listeners that the conversations they are avoiding are often the key to their next level of leadership.

In this episode of the Deliberate Leaders podcast, host Allison Dunn addresses the Activity Trap, a common issue even for dedicated leaders, where individuals are constantly busy but make minimal progress on what truly matters. The episode begins by describing the feeling of a day filled with work, emails, and meetings, yet ending with a sense of a lack of real accomplishment. Dunn clarifies that this isn't laziness but being caught in the Activity Trap.
The Activity Trap is defined as a deceptive state of constant motion that doesn't lead to significant progress on important goals, likened to running on a treadmill. Leaders caught in this trap often find themselves buried in endless meetings without clear agendas, email rabbit holes, and quick-win tasks that don't build real value. Despite feeling accomplished momentarily, they experience frustration and a sense of being no closer to their desired outcomes, highlighting that motion isn't momentum.
To illustrate this, Dunn shares the story of her client Sarah, a COO working long hours and feeling overwhelmed despite completing a lengthy to-do list. However, when asked which of those tasks moved the company towards its three-year vision, only two out of thirty were identified, demonstrating the essence of the Activity Trap: working hard without aligning energy with impact.
Dunn then introduces three key distinctions to help escape the Activity Trap:
•. Busy work vs. Breakthrough work: Busy work fills time and is reactive, responding to others' priorities, while breakthrough work creates change and is proactive, advancing one's vision. The focus should shift from "What's urgent?" to "What will create the most significant impact today?".
• Management vs. Leadership: Management handles the present, while leadership creates the future. Many get stuck in management mode by addressing immediate needs, but leadership requires strategic thinking and future-building activities.
• Activity vs. Achievement: Activity is measured by effort (hours worked, emails answered), whereas achievement is measured by outcomes (progress toward goals and value created). The goal is to move from high activity with low achievement to low activity with high achievement, which is the hallmark of deliberate leadership.
To break free from the Activity Trap, Dunn offers three actionable strategies:
• Institute the Power Hour: Block the first hour of the day for the most important breakthrough work, before checking emails or Slack. This dedicated time allows leaders to work on their business rather than just in it, focusing on tasks that drive important goals forward without distractions.
• Apply the 3-Category Filter: At the start of each week, categorize the to-do list into breakthrough work, management work, and busy work. The recommendation is to commit to spending at least 40% on breakthrough work, no more than 40% on management work, and reduce busy work to 20% or less.
• Implement the "One Less" Rule: For one month, consciously eliminate one low-value activity each day, such as declining a non-essential meeting, batching emails, or delegating tasks. Small reductions in low-value activities can create significant space for more impactful work.
Finally, the episode includes a call to action to conduct an "Activity Trap Audit". For three consecutive workdays, individuals are encouraged to track their time in 30-minute increments and, at the end of each day, reflect on the percentage of time spent on breakthrough work, their highest-value contribution, and low-value activities that could be eliminated, automated, or delegated. The aim is to identify patterns, with most leaders discovering they spend less than 20% of their time on true breakthrough work.
In closing, Dunn reiterates that being busy doesn't equate to being an exceptional leader; rather, it's the ability to focus on work that generates genuine momentum that distinguishes average from exceptional leaders. The key takeaway is that true leadership is about being deliberate, not just busy.

This episode of the "Deliberate Leaders Podcast," hosted by Allison Dunn, delves into the critical topic of how to effectively lead and develop high-potential employees (HiPos). The episode emphasizes that these individuals are not only top performers but also the future leaders, innovators, and a potential competitive advantage for an organization. However, it also highlights the significant flight risk associated with HiPos if they are not properly developed.
A key point addressed is the distinction between high performance and high potential. The episode clarifies that excelling in a current role does not automatically mean an employee has the capacity for leadership.
The podcast outlines three key attributes that define true high-potential employees:
• Perspective: HiPos think strategically, asking deeper questions about the long-term strategy, company values, and the real problems being solved. They bring valuable insights and should be included in strategic conversations.
• Presence: HiPos command attention through clear communication, active listening, and the ability to inspire trust, making others feel valued and motivated. This isn't just about charisma but about how they impact others.
• Powerful Work Habits: HiPos are proactive, identify important work independently, are resilient in the face of setbacks, and take ownership of outcomes. They do not require constant supervision.
The episode then provides guidance on how to effectively lead HiPos, suggesting several key strategies:
• Ditch micromanagement: HiPos need mentorship and space to think, innovate, and learn from occasional failures. Monitoring will only drive them away.
• Provide honest feedback: Genuinely honest feedback, including both strengths and areas for growth, is crucial for HiPos who crave development. Framing growth areas as a "pathway forward" is beneficial.
• Invest in their development deliberately: This involves providing stretch assignments, opportunities to shadow senior leaders, actively listening to their aspirations, and connecting them with relevant resources, training, and experiences. Dunn counters the fear of investing in employees who might leave by asking, "What if you don't invest in them—and they stay?" highlighting the opportunity cost of underdevelopment.
Dunn issues a challenge to listeners to identify HiPos based on the three key attributes and schedule development conversations with them. She suggests asking questions about what energizes them, their growth aspirations, and desired skill development. The goal is to then collaboratively create a specific stretch opportunity aligned with their goals.
In conclusion, the episode emphasizes that leading HiPos is not just about quick promotions but about fostering depth in their critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and integrity. Effectively leading HiPos is presented as a deliberate effort to craft the organization's future.

In this episode of the "Deliberate Leaders" podcast, host Allison Dunn discusses the pervasive issue of "busyness" in the business world and argues that it is often overused and doesn't necessarily equate to progress. She points out that "busy" has become a common response when asking leaders and entrepreneurs how they are doing.
Dunn challenges the notion that being busy is a "badge of honor," suggesting that it can actually indicate being stuck rather than moving forward. She shares a personal anecdote of a time when her calendar was so full she had to schedule bathroom breaks, yet her major business goals were not advancing. This illustrates the core idea that being busy doesn't automatically lead to business growth; being deliberate does.
The episode delves into what Dunn calls the "cult of busy," outlining several reasons why people fall into this trap:
• There's a social currency associated with being busy, where having a lot to do is perceived as being important and successful, while having open time might be viewed negatively.
• People confuse motion with progress, believing that a full calendar and constant notifications mean they are achieving their goals.
• Busyness can become a convenient excuse for avoiding deep, meaningful work that would truly move the needle, such as strategic planning.
Dunn then offers three mindset shifts to help leaders move away from the "busy" trap:
• Replace "busy" with specific language: Instead of saying "I'm busy," try describing what you are actively working on and creating.
• Measure outcomes, not activity: Focus on whether your actions are moving you closer to your important goals, rather than just assessing how busy you were. A focused hour on a priority is more valuable than scattered hours of busyness.
• Embrace strategic pauses: Effective leaders intentionally schedule time for thinking, strategizing, and creating without constant interruptions.
Finally, the episode provides three actionable steps to help listeners break free from being constantly busy:
• Conduct a "busy audit": For a week, pay attention to how often you say or think "I'm so busy" and then question what you are busy doing and whether it aligns with your top priorities.
• Identify your high-leverage activities: Determine the 2-3 activities that have the most significant impact on your business or leadership and schedule them first, protecting that time diligently.
• Practice strategically saying "no": Recognize that saying yes to one thing means saying no to something else, and consider what you are implicitly declining when you take on a new commitment.
In conclusion, Allison Dunn emphasizes that true leadership is not defined by how full your calendar is but by the impact of your actions, urging listeners to prioritize being deliberate over being busy.

This episode of the Deliberate Leaders Podcast, hosted by Allison Dunn, addresses the significant challenge of dealing with toxic coworkers and their negative impact on productivity and energy levels. Dunn begins by highlighting that this is a widespread issue, noting that over half of their poll respondents had experienced it. She emphasizes that toxic colleagues are more than just annoying; they can drastically reduce team performance, citing Harvard research that suggests a decrease of up to 40%. This is framed as a serious business problem rather than a simple personality clash.
The main focus of the episode is to provide five actionable strategies for leaders and individuals to protect their energy while navigating interactions with toxic coworkers, without damaging relationships or compromising their values. These strategies are discussed in detail:
• Strategy number one: Recognize the pattern, not just the person. Dunn explains that toxic behavior often follows predictable patterns, such as constant complaining, credit stealing, gossiping, or sabotage. She advises listeners to document toxic interactions for a week, noting the triggers and the specific patterns observed, such as blame-shifting or information hoarding. She shares an example of a client, Melissa, who discovered that a difficult coworker undermined her only during morning meetings, revealing a pattern of feeling threatened when she presented first. Recognizing this pattern allowed Melissa to prepare accordingly.
• Strategy two: Create conversational boundaries. Dunn points out that toxic behavior often thrives through conversation and reminds listeners that they control half of every interaction. She introduces a technique called "redirect and refocus," suggesting that when a toxic colleague starts complaining or gossiping, the listener should acknowledge their statement briefly and then immediately pivot to a work-related topic. She provides an example: responding with "That sounds challenging. Speaking of challenges, I could use your input on this project deadline". The goal is to gently but firmly steer conversations toward productivity, not to be rude. Dunn notes that after about three redirects, most "energy vampires" will likely seek easier targets.
• Strategy three: Implement the oxygen mask principle. Drawing an analogy to flight safety instructions, Dunn stresses the importance of prioritizing one's own well-being when dealing with toxic coworkers. She recommends scheduling brief "renewal time" on your calendar after draining interactions, even just 15 minutes, to engage in activities like walking, deep breathing, or gratitude exercises. She shares an anecdote about a CEO who maintains a "sanity drawer" with items like dark chocolate, essential oils, and family photos for quick reset rituals.
•. Strategy four: Document strategically. Dunn emphasizes that documentation serves not only for HR purposes but also as a daily tool for managing difficult dynamics. She advises listeners to follow up verbal conversations with email summaries that clearly outline discussed points and responsibilities, such as "As we discussed, you'll handle X while I focus on Y. Please let me know if I've misunderstood anything". This practice promotes accountability, offers the benefit of the doubt, and creates a paper trail to prevent gaslighting and confusion.
•. Strategy five: Practice intentional disengagement. Dunn states that sometimes the most effective response is no response. She advises listeners to evaluate whether engaging with toxic behavior aligns with their goals. If not, she recommends using polite but brief responses that do not escalate conflict or encourage further engagement, which she terms "pleasant neutrality". She shares a client's description of this as "being Teflon—letting it slide off without sticking". Dunn clarifies that this is a strategy for energy conservation, not avoidance.
In conclusion, Dunn reiterates that while you cannot control toxic colleagues, you can control the energy you give them. She asserts that successful leaders have mastered the art of protecting their energy while remaining effective, not necessarily having fewer difficult people in their lives. She also briefly mentions an opportunity to book a "Deliberate Direction strategy session" for personalized guidance on managing challenging workplace situations and protecting energy. She encourages listeners to visit Deliberate Directions dot com to claim a spot and reminds them that their energy is valuable. Finally, she thanks the listeners, encourages them to share the episode, and reminds them to subscribe to the podcast.

This episode of the Deliberate Leaders Podcast, hosted by Allison Dunn, is about the essential leadership skill of letting go to facilitate both personal and professional development. The episode emphasizes that while the concept might seem straightforward, putting it into practice can be quite challenging for high-performing leaders, entrepreneurs, and executives.
The discussion addresses several key aspects of letting go:
Why letting go is so difficult: The episode explains that humans are naturally inclined towards stability and predictability, which creates resistance to change. In a leadership context, ego further complicates the process, making it hard to acknowledge unsuccessful strategies or when an employee's growth no longer aligns with the company's needs. The fear of perceived failure also contributes to the reluctance to let go.
The hidden costs of holding on: The podcast highlights several negative consequences of failing to let go, including:
• Missed opportunities: Staying with the familiar can prevent the exploration of new and potentially more beneficial paths for both the leader and the organization.
• Burnout: Leaders who resist letting go often carry unnecessary burdens, leading to exhaustion and reduced effectiveness.
• Culture stagnation: Holding onto outdated processes, underperforming team members, or old leadership approaches can impede the organization's ability to evolve.
• The episode uses the example of Blockbuster versus Netflix to illustrate the critical importance of letting go of outdated models and embracing new directions. Blockbuster's failure to move beyond its retail store model contrasts sharply with Netflix's successful transition from DVD rentals to streaming, highlighting that letting go creates space for better things.
Developing a leader’s mindset for letting go with intention: The podcast offers three mindset shifts to aid in this process:
• Detach from “how things have always been”: Leaders should regularly question their current practices by asking, “If I were starting fresh today, would I build it this way?” A negative answer suggests it’s time to reconsider.
• Adopt a growth-over-comfort mindset: While letting go can be uncomfortable, it is essential for progress and should be viewed as evolution rather than failure.
• Trust the people around you: Leaders need to overcome the urge to control everything, empower their teams, and allow them the autonomy to learn and grow, even through mistakes.
Tactical ways to release what no longer serves you: The episode provides three practical exercises:
• The “What’s Holding Me Back” Inventory: This involves identifying three things a leader is clinging to that are no longer beneficial, understanding the underlying reasons (fear, comfort, ego), and committing to taking a step towards releasing them, such as delegating or restructuring.
• The “Leadership Release Ritual”: Leaders are encouraged to conduct a quarterly review to assess what is working, what isn’t, and what needs to be eliminated to prevent the accumulation of unnecessary burdens.
• The 70% Rule for Delegation: If a task can be performed by a team member at least 70% as well as the leader, it should be delegated. This frees up the leader's time and empowers the team.
The episode concludes by emphasizing that the most effective leaders are those who can evolve and release what no longer serves their goals, their teams, or their mission. By doing so, they foster an environment conducive to innovation, resilience, and growth.

This episode of the Deliberate Leaders Podcast focuses on the critical distinction between planning and strategy, highlighting how confusing the two can negatively impact business outcomes. The host, Allison Dunn, positions that many businesses mistakenly focus on planning, which involves internal operations and resource management, rather than on developing a strategy that creates meaningful differentiation in the market.
Key topics and examples discussed in the episode:
Defining Strategy: A strategy is defined as an integrative set of choices that position a company to win in its market by outperforming competitors and delivering unique value to customers.
Planning vs. Strategy: The host emphasizes that planning is simply a set of activities that, while controllable, do not guarantee competitive success. In contrast, strategy focuses on achieving a competitive outcome where customers choose your product or service over others.
Southwest Airlines Example: Southwest Airlines is presented as a prime example of a company with a clear strategy. Instead of just planning routes and buying planes like major carriers, Southwest focused on becoming a reasonable-priced alternative to Greyhound. They achieved this by implementing point-to-point flights, using only 737s, eliminating in-flight meals, and promoting online booking.
Starbucks Example: Starbucks is highlighted as a company that created a 'third place' between home and work with consistent quality and experience, showcasing a clear strategy for standing out in the market.
Self-Assessment: The host provides a self-assessment for listeners to determine whether their business decisions are focused on internal operations (planning) or creating market differentiation (strategy).
Actionable Takeaways: The episode includes several actionable steps to help listeners shift from planning to strategy:
• Embrace uncertainty and accept that success cannot be guaranteed in advance.
• Clearly articulate the logic behind your strategy by identifying what must be true about your company, industry, competition, and customers for the strategy to succeed.
• Keep the strategy simple and concise, ideally fitting on a single page.
• Be wary of strategies that feel too comfortable, as real strategy involves trade-offs.
• Ensure the strategy is not easily copied by competitors.
• Continuously monitor and adjust the strategy as the market evolves.
The Comfort Trap: Planning is described as a 'comfort trap' because it focuses on controllable activities but may not lead to competitive advantages.
Customer Value: The episode concludes by emphasizing that customers prioritize unique value over plans, making strategy essential for delivering what customers truly want.

The Deliberate Leaders Podcast challenges conventional thinking and inspires action.
The episode addresses The Leadership Blind Spot around the concept that knowing and not doing is equivalent to not knowing at all.
Many leaders pride themselves on being informed, but the information is useless without action.
The Problem:
• Knowing doesn't mean anything without action.
• Leaders often know what they should do but fail to act.
• Example: Leaders know they need to delegate more but continue to hoard tasks.
Knowing without doing leads to burnout.
• Many business owners know they should manage their finances but avoid it.
• Leaders know their team needs constructive feedback but avoid tough conversations.
• Many know personal growth is important but put off coaching and development.
• Hesitation to act stems from fear of failure, lack of accountability, and comfort in the status quo.
• Being unwilling to risk doing the wrong thing may mean you're already doing the wrong thing by staying still.
Solutions:
• Start small: Choose one thing to act on this week.
• Find an accountability partner.
• Measure progress, not perfection: Celebrate action, even if the outcome isn't perfect.
"Clarity comes from engagement, not thought".
Challenge:
• Identify something you know you should be doing but aren't.
• Write it down and commit to taking action.
• The only thing worse than not knowing is knowing and doing nothing.
• Your edge in business is doing better, not just knowing more.
Call to Action:
• Share the episode with other leaders.
• Consider coaching to help close the gap between knowing and doing

After a decade in consulting, Max was totally burnt out. The long hours, back-to-back-to-back meetings, and high stress took a heavy toll. He started experiencing anxiety attacks and felt like a shell of his former self.
To help untangle his brain, Max and his wife took a month-long surf and yoga trip to Costa Rica. It was an incredible experience, providing the space to slow down and focus on himself in a way he hadn’t in a long time.
As soon as he returned, Max was inspired to create this type of experience for other high-achieving professionals. Through mindfulness retreats and mindfulness offsites, Max helps high-achieving professionals connect with themselves and others in profound and meaningful ways.
During the interview, we discuss…
- the role of boredom in today’s world

Eric Ressler is the Founder and Creative Director of Cosmic — a Social Impact Creative Agency. He believes that the social impact sector must change in order to take advantage of the benefits of the information era.
Today’s digital tools and platforms make it easier for social impact organizations to quickly and efficiently create a platform, communicate ideas, and reach people aligned with their mission across the globe. Yet, many of the strategies and approaches in the social impact space are still based on what worked well in the pre-digital era. This leaves many organizations under-resourced, siloed, and struggling to reach their full impact potential.
Today’s social impact organizations have strong missions and inspiring visions. In order to accomplish their goals, they need to update their communications philosophies, focus their digital strategy, and learn how a well-thought-out brand strategy can help them rise above the noise, connect with supporters and advocates, and win in the attention economy.
Cosmic is always looking to help social impact leaders. We empower social impact organizations to catalyze real world change by helping them nail their impact story, build brand awareness, and inspire action.

When you think about who holds the most power in a company, you likely picture the CEO. But a company’s board members are the true power players: they not only hire and fire the CEO but also act as guardians of the company’s long-term success.
Do most boards have what it takes to meet the challenges of the future—especially those that are pounding on the door today? Not by a long shot.
Imagine if only 17% of board members on your audit committee could read a profit and loss statement or a balance sheet. According to The Sustainability Board Report 2020, only 17% of board directors on forward-looking sustainability committees are “competent” to handle the looming, profit-killing issues boards now face, including climate change, ESG (environmental, social, and governance) challenges, diversity, human rights, cybersecurity, and more.
Helle Bank Jorgensen is an internationally recognized expert on sustainable business practices, boasting a 30-year track record of turning environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks into innovative and profitable business opportunities.
Helle is the founder and chief executive of Competent Boards, which offers online climate and ESG programs from a faculty of over 100 renowned board members, executives, and experts.
An advisor to global Fortune 500 boards and organizations—including Nike, Maersk, Shell, and Unilever—Helle also serves on high-profile international panels, including the World Economic Forum (WEF) Expert Network and Accounting for Sustainability (A4S). In 2020, she was awarded the Global Impact Award and named one of “five people in ESG to look out for.”
During the interview, we discuss:
- what makes a steward of the future
- why it’s more important than ever for boards to have ESG (environmental, social, and governance) insight and oversight
- risks and opportunities that boards need to discuss
- how to bring fresh perspectives to the boardroom from younger generations

• Your top long term business goals
• The biggest opportunity in your business right now
• Obstacles preventing the growth you want to achieve
At the end of the call we’ll help you determine 5-7 goals to focus on. We’ll also see whether there’s an opportunity in your business to help you grow faster that justifies the cost of further business coaching.
