• 192: It's Not a People Problem. It's a You Problem.
    May 18 2026

    Most leaders facing team performance problems look outward first. They restructure. They hire. They blame the culture on their people. But after two decades of executive coaching, Carmen Ohling has learned that the most common leadership performance problem is not the team. It is the leader.

    In this episode of The Amplified Life Podcast, Carmen delivers the message most leadership coaches are too polished to say out loud: high performing organizations are built by high performing leaders, and high performing leaders are relentlessly unapologetic about taking care of themselves.

    If you are a CEO or senior leader running on empty while expecting extraordinary results, this episode is for you.

    What you will learn:

    • Why CEO burnout, executive mental health, and leadership longevity are organizational performance issues, not personal ones
    • The real cost of sleep deprivation, emotional dysregulation, and relational neglect on your team's culture and results
    • What depleted leadership actually looks like inside an organization, and why your team feels it before you do
    • The six non-negotiables of sustainable high performance leadership
    • Why self-leadership is the foundation of every high performing team

  • 191: The Unspoken Leadership Advantage of the Top 1%
    Apr 6 2026

    Most leaders believe their value comes from having the right answers, but the top 1% know their power lies in asking the right questions.

    In this episode, Carmen shares the essential, unspoken leadership skill that transforms control into empowerment and unlocks the untapped potential within your team.

    As leaders, we often feel pressure to be decisive, efficient, and solution-oriented. But what if the very instinct to advise, fix, and control is what limits your team's growth?

    In this episode, Carmen shares:

    • The three leadership energies that silently disempower teams: over-dependence, overwhelm, and disconnection

    • A powerful story from her time at JP Morgan that reveals how surface-level conversations miss the real issue

    • Why "question three" is where trust, clarity, and transformation are uncovered

    • How to practice listening without attachment or agenda

    • The two follow-up questions that unlock deeper thinking instantly

    Better questions lead to better thinking.
    Better thinking leads to better leadership.
    Better leadership leads to greater impact.

    Be sure to download the Leader Guide below to begin integrating these questions into your leadership immediately.
