Your calendar is packed, your firm is moving, and somehow your mind is still louder than ever. That is the gap we go after with executive coach and leadership expert Steve Barton, creator of The Game of Ten®. Steve joins me to unpack why so many high achievers keep trying to think their way to peace, when the real lever is awareness. We talk about how overthinking fuels reactive choices, strained communication, and the kind of quiet burnout that can hide behind “success,” especially for law firm owners and entrepreneurs.
Steve shares his leadership journey from a family owned flower business to coaching executives, including the moment he realized he had everything he wanted and still was not happy. From there we get practical: how to treat data as a tool without letting it run your life, how to create space between stimulus and response, and why “common sense” leadership often disappears under stress. We also walk through the six phrases Steve teaches clients to reduce internal noise and shift out of fear, guilt, shame, and self doubt, plus the key warning that makes the practice actually work: you have to let go of what surfaces, not just repeat the words.
We zoom out to team culture and accountability, including what it looks like to lead with unconditional respect and clear boundaries, stay fair and consistent, and help people feel heard without losing standards. Steve also makes the case that intuition is an underused leadership skill, and that clarity improves when the mind is not crowded with mental clutter.
