2025 wasn’t a pivot year for me — it was an iteration and identity year (and for others).

A year of stepping back, listening deeper, and upgrading the version of me that leads my business and my work with CEOs and Sales Leaders.

In this last episode of The Sales Leader of Influence SHOW for 2025, I’m sharing the 5 lessons that began to change everything for me — personally, commercially, and creatively.

Real lessons. Human lessons. Leadership lessons we don’t always say out loud.

Here’s what I’m diving into:

🔥 Step Back to Level Up Why space — not strategy — gave me the clarity I’d been missing.

🔥 Metrics and Money Doesn't Fix Conditioning The shift from numbers and targets to identity, congruence, and alignment.

🔥 Listen To Your “Yeah — Nah.” What happened when I ignored my gut… and what happened when I finally honoured it.

🔥 New Identity, New Market How my internal shift led me into CEO and VP-level rooms (and validated my own IP, Frameworks, and Thought Leadership).

🔥 Upgrade You → Upgrade Everything The OS-level identity work that is changing the entire trajectory of my business and outcomes.

If you’re a CEO, VP, or Sales Leader navigating your own next level, this conversation will hit home and is a baseline for growth.

When life gets hectic, leaders don’t just feel the pressure – they often show it. Not publicly. Not in the boardroom. But internally, in the identity they lead from.

In this week’s episode of The Sales Leader of Influence SHOW, I’m unpacking what leadership looks like when you feel like your back is against the wall… and you are still expected to make clear decisions, keep people aligned, and stay steady.

We’ll dive into:

• How pressure exposes the old version of you that you’ve potentially outgrown
• How to leverage 'The Gap' before reacting
• Why uncertainty isn’t destabilising – it’s often the arena for your next level
• What your team actually needs from you in this season

This is NOT a conversation about burnout or struggle. It’s a grounded look at the moments no one sees – and how to navigate them with strength, presence, and influence.

If you’re in a season where you’re juggling decisions, carrying expectations, and holding the line… I'm sure this episode will land.

I’m calling out a behaviour too many leaders overlook and I believe quietly undermines more results than market conditions ever will.

In leadership, it could be a lie, it could also be a sign.

Whatever you call it, people retreat because of it and revenue is impacted … teams hold back information, individuals resist being honest, and people will protect themselves instead of the business.

Why This Matters Right Now

Today’s revenue challenges aren’t just market-driven.

They’re leadership-driven.

When your actions and your words don’t match, your team stops doing a number of things... escalating risks, owning timelines, and trusting you, their leader.

And this silence comes with a commercial price tag – stalled deals, hidden problems, and revenue that looks predictable until it suddenly isn’t.

Three Takeaways from this episode of The Sales Leader of Influence SHOW

1️⃣ The financial impact of misalignment at the top How one leader’s inconsistency can create downstream delays, missed opportunities, and a pipeline that ‘looks fine’ right up until the last week of the quarter.

2️⃣ The leadership standard that changes performance immediately A clear, uncompromising expectation that sharpens execution, lifts truth-telling, and resets how your team communicates under pressure.

3️⃣ How to recover credibility when trust is disappearing Direct, practical steps to restore confidence and turn your follow-through into a competitive advantage.
