    What Matters Most When Selecting an Executive Development Partner
    Feb 16 2026

    Most executive development sounds good on paper, but how much of it actually changes the way leaders show up when it counts? In this episode, Tegan and Maggie talk honestly about why not all coaching firms are the same, how flashy platforms and boxed programs can miss the real work, and what it takes to find a partner who truly understands the pressure and complexity of executive life.

  • Why Executive Teams Stall And What To Do About It

    Why Executive Teams Stall And What To Do About It
    Jan 20 2026

    Most executive "teams" aren't really teams - they're high performers sharing airtime and reporting up. In this episode, Tegan and Maggie Gough unpack what actually makes a leadership team a team: shared enterprise goals, clear decision rights, and the ability to work through conflict without splintering. They talk about why so many strategies die after the deck is delivered, and how team coaching "in the field" creates traction without adding more meetings. If you're wondering why smart people keep spinning but the business isn't moving faster, this conversation will hit home.
