  • The Secret to Leadership and Work-Life Harmony with Andre Young

    The Secret to Leadership and Work-Life Harmony with Andre Young
    Jun 3 2026
    In this episode, we explore why leadership is one of the most important skills people are rarely taught. The conversation covers burnout, difficult conversations, work-life harmony, self-awareness, and practical habits that help people lead more effectively at work and at home. Listeners will learn how to improve communication, build stronger relationships, avoid common leadership mistakes, and create intentional growth through simple daily actions. Key Takeaways Many people are promoted because they perform well, not because they know how to lead. Leadership requires learning how to have both casual and difficult conversations. Burnout often comes from unresolved personal and professional challenges. Making time for intentional self-reflection can accelerate personal growth. The way you start your morning can influence the rest of your day. Daily habits have a greater impact than occasional moments of motivation. Strong leaders create trust before they need to have difficult conversations. Work-life harmony is more realistic and sustainable than work-life balance. People are more likely to follow leaders who show genuine care and concern. Small changes in communication can significantly improve relationships and workplace culture. https://www.toddbertsch.com/podcast/secret-to-leadership-work-life-harmony-with-andre-young/ Thanks for listening!

    What Got You Here Is Holding You Back: The Slow Drift Into Misalignment with Megan Leasher
    May 1 2026
    What if the real issue isn’t burnout—but misalignment? In this episode of the BOLT, I sit down with Megan Leasher, organizational psychologist and executive coach, to explore why high achievers often feel stuck when what made them successful stops working. Together, they unpack how workplace disruption creates internal shifts, how to spot early warning signs, and how to realign with purpose and growth. Topics We Discussed Why high achievers get stuck at the next level What disruption looks like for leaders today Misalignment vs. burnout and disengagement Recognizing early “smoke signals” The role of trust between leaders and teams How coaching uncovers the real issue Habits that hold leaders back Delegation and empowerment Body signals of stress and misalignment Fear, identity, and reframing challenges Why leadership development starts too late The power of pause and reflection Building a “support army” The key question: Where do I want to be? https://www.toddbertsch.com/podcast/the-slow-drift-into-misalignment-with-megan-leasher Thanks for listening!
