What Leaders Regret Most, Backed by Research

This one's personal. I'm in the middle of a pivot myself, shifting my business to focus on coaching founders and CEOs while still championing the sales leaders I love. In this quick solo I talk about the fear that shows up every time you bet on yourself, why it never fully goes away, and why that's good news. I share the CEO turnaround that changed how I see this work, the Brene Brown line I come back to, and the Cornell research on what we regret most.
