What is actually the difference between coaching and therapy?
And why does that distinction matter for your leadership?

Many leaders invest years in self-reflection. They understand their patterns. They can trace behaviors back to childhood experiences. They have read the books. They have attended the workshops.

And yet in the next difficult meeting, the same reactions show up.

In this episode, I unpack where therapy looks backward and where coaching looks forward. More importantly, we explore what real transformation actually requires if you want to show up differently in high-stakes leadership moments.

Because insight alone does not change behavior.

This podcast includes:
• The real difference between therapy and coaching and why both matter
• How decades-old patterns get wired into your nervous system
• Why you are not broken, you are simply running an outdated operating system
• How small, safe-to-fail experiments can rewire behavior in days and weeks
• Why most leadership programs inspire you but fail to create lasting development
• What it takes to actually grow inside messy meetings, tough feedback, and real-world pressure

If you want to understand how real behavior change happens not in theory but in practice, this episode is for you.
