  Ep244 Celinne Da Costa—Burn Down the Old Story and Step Into the Next One

  Aug 5, 202634 min

  Ever feel like the same drive that got you to the top has quietly become the thing boxing you in? In this episode of Get Unstuck & On Target, host Mike O'Neill sits down with Celinne Da Costa, founder of Story Atlas and author of The Burning Ground, to talk about what happens when the story that built a leader's success stops fitting. Celinne has spent the last decade helping high-achieving leaders figure out whether the identity that got them here is still serving them or quietly holding them back. Celinne walks through the four phases leaders move through when they outgrow an old story: waking up to what no longer fits, finding the certainty to let it go, crossing what she calls "the burning ground," and stepping into a new way of leading and living. She and Mike dig into why so many high performers get stuck at the hardest phase, what fear is really driving the resistance, and what it actually feels like in the body when a new direction is right. Three key topics to look out for: - Why "autopilot" leadership habits stop working even when they used to drive real success - The four-phase framework for consciously rewriting the story that shapes your decisions - How to tell the difference between fear of loss and a genuine signal that something needs to change Find all the show notes and links here: https://www.unstuck.show/244

  Ep243 Jeannette Seibly—How Senior Leaders Overcome Fear, Stop Stalling, and Build the Legacy They Actually Want

  Jul 23, 202630 min

  Ever notice how the leaders who seem the most decisive can freeze the moment it's time to actually commit? In this episode of Get Unstuck & On Target, host Mike O'Neill sits down with Jeannette Seibly, known as the leadership results coach, to unpack why so many senior leaders end up sitting on the fence and what it costs them when they stay there. Jeannette, who has spent decades coaching executives through hiring, promotion, and succession decisions, walks through what she calls the Remy effect (named after her fearless-until-the-door-opens cat) and why fear, not indecision, is really driving the delay. Mike and Jeannette dig into the job fit triangle, why relying on the interview alone to hire or promote someone can cost a company millions, and how validated assessments like the PXT Select help leaders get real about who they and their people actually are. They also cover how to tell a genuine strategic move from a shiny object and what it takes for a leader who has been stuck for months or years to finally get off the fence. Three key topics to look out for: - Why the Remy effect explains why confident leaders freeze when it's time to commit - How relying only on the interview to hire or promote costs companies millions - What it actually takes to get off the fence when you've been stuck for months, or years Find all the show notes and links here: https://www.unstuck.show/243

  Ep242 Flo Esho—Break the Bottleneck and Transfer Real Trust

  Jul 8, 202636 min

  Ever hit 9pm and asked yourself what you actually got done today? In this episode of Get Unstuck & On Target, host Mike O'Neill sits down with Flo Esho, founder of Easy Flow Life, a US-based executive assistant agency that helps founders and senior leaders get out of the day-to-day and back into real leadership. Flo breaks down the hidden cost of doing everything yourself: the cognitive overload that turns founders into overwhelmed project managers instead of CEOs. She and Mike walk through what a good executive assistant actually handles, calendar, invoicing, inbox, project management, and personal logistics; the difference between task execution and true ownership; and the trust transfer that has to happen before a leader can really let go. Three key topics to look out for: - The real cost of never delegating, and why it compounds every single day - How to tell the difference between an assistant who completes tasks and one who owns outcomes - Flo's three-step framework for vetting an assistant before you ever hand off real trust Find all the show notes and links here: https://www.unstuck.show/242

  Ep241 Billy Mullins—Break the Seven-Second Chain and Lead with Intention

  Jun 24, 202634 min

  Ever made a decision under pressure that didn't reflect who you actually are as a leader? You've done the reading. You know what good leadership looks like. And still, in the moment that matters most, you react before you can catch yourself. In this episode of Get Unstuck & On Target, host Mike O'Neill sits down with Billy Mullins, author of Salt Your Thoughts and a lifelong student of the neuroscience behind human behavior. Billy has mapped a five-step sequence he calls the chain, a process that runs in just seven seconds and takes leaders from information overload straight to reactive behavior. Understanding why willpower alone can't stop it changes how you think about leadership development entirely. Billy and Mike trace each step of the chain from the information overload that starts it to the reactive behavior that ends it and then get into the practical tools Billy built specifically to interrupt it. Billy shares the story behind the reset button, a tactile tool born out of his own darkest personal and professional season, and introduces SALT seeds, a daily positive programming practice designed to point your reticular activating system toward what you actually want to see. Three key topics to look out for: - Why willpower fails under pressure and what the neuroscience says actually happens inside your brain in those seven seconds - The five-step chain from information overload to reactive behavior, and how each step feeds the next - The reset button and SALT seeds, two practical tools you can use to interrupt the chain before the wrong decision comes out Find all the show notes and links here: https://www.unstuck.show/241

  Ep240 Mark Mixer - Take Back Control of Your Health Benefits and Lead Like a Fiduciary

  Jun 10, 202635 min

  Ever feel like your annual benefits renewal is a negotiation you're not allowed to walk away from? In this episode of Get Unstuck & On Target, host Mike O'Neill sits down with Mark Mixer, CEO of Health One Alliance and Alliant Health Plans, who has spent 40 years helping employers stop handing off their benefits strategy and start owning it. Mark works with companies to move away from the passive, broker-dependent renewal cycle toward a model that actually fits the way employees live and work. Mark walks Mike through how ICHRA (Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements) works as a defined-contribution alternative to traditional group health plans. The comparison to the 401k is direct: instead of picking a plan for everyone, employers give employees a dollar amount and let them choose coverage that fits their family, their doctors, and their budget. In seven years of running this model, Mark says he has never had a client go back to traditional coverage. Three key topics to look out for: - How ICHRA shifts the benefits decision from employer-picks to employee-chooses, and why companies that make the move stay with it - The compliance exposure hiding inside level-funded plans and why most small employers have no idea they're carrying it - Mark's own getting unstuck moment: the culture shift from "we can't do it for everyone" to "if we can do it for one, we do it" Find all the show notes and links here: https://www.unstuck.show/240
