Mastering the Inner Game of Leadership

What if the real reason we get stuck…
isn’t tactical at all?

Arielle Lechner is an executive coach and founder of NewPo. She works with high-performing founders and CEOs to surface what’s really in the way. And it's often hiding in plain sight.

She's a great interview, and she introduced me to two powerful ideas:

📌 The Levels of Creation — a model for diagnosing whether the real issue is misaligned vision, outdated identity, or limiting beliefs.

📌 Triple Loop Learning — where lasting change happens not by doing or thinking differently, but by shifting who you're being.

We also talked about failure, founder burnout, competing commitments, and how to reframe challenge as part of the quest rather than a detour from it.

If you're navigating growth and feel like something's off beneath the surface, this one will hit home. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

What are your leadership intentions this week?

I love this question and use it constantly in my coaching.

Because if you don't know the answer

You're not ready for the big moments coming at you.

Don't be a flat-footed leader.

Have a great rest of your week,
