Your team is not overloaded with work. Your team is overloaded with thoughtload.

Dr. Liane Davey, organizational psychologist and New York Times bestselling author, has spent her career working only with teams. She joins Dr. Steve Jeffs and Erwin de Grave to explain why activity and output keep rising while outcomes stall.

Liane breaks thoughtload into three parts: rising cognitive demands, growing emotional burdens, and shrinking energy reserves. She shows why leaders shape team dynamics more than anyone in the room. She explains the difference between emotions and feelings. And she shares a simple weekly practice: three one-hour blocks with zero input.

For coaches who work with leaders and teams, this conversation gives you a clear way to separate busy work from work toward outcomes.

Successful on paper. Anxious at 3 a.m. Dr. Liz DuBois Erskine coaches the leaders who live with both.

Dr. Liz holds a PhD in Conflict Analysis and Resolution and spent seven years in nonprofit executive leadership. She joins Dr. Steve Jeffs and Erwin de Grave to explain why imposter syndrome persists in high achievers.

Her core point: you grow outside your comfort zone, but never outside your safety zone. When a career move threatens your marriage, your income, or your reputation, no mindset shift will move you. You need to name the fear and find the one change in the system worth making first.

The conversation covers the loneliness of leadership, the limits of mindset coaching, and how she pinpoints where a client is stuck in under 15 minutes.

People don't trust what they read online anymore, and Ali Meehan has a name for it: the trust recession. Founder of Costa Women, a network for women living in or moving to Spain, Ali joins hosts Dr. Steve Jeffs and Erwin de Grave to unpack why AI-polished content erodes the very trust coaches depend on. She shares why she believes AI cannot replace the human intuition coaches bring to a room, what it actually takes to build a community people stay in, and why she thinks introverts make some of the best networkers around. A conversation about authenticity, community, and what still can't be automated.
