    Lisa Goldenthal: Is Your Calendar Stealing Your Life? Here's How You Take It Back

    Is your calendar running your company—or running you? In this episode of the WholeCEO Podcast, Lisa Goldenthal breaks down one of the most underestimated performance drains for CEOs and senior leaders: calendar overload. If your days are filled with back-to-back meetings, constant context switching, and little time for strategic thinking, this conversation is your wake-up call. Lisa challenges leaders to examine how many hours per week are lost to low-value meetings—and which recurring conversations drain energy without producing real decisions. She unpacks practical executive time management strategies, including eliminating status meetings, implementing DRIs (Directly Responsible Individuals), and replacing unnecessary meetings with clear written narratives. This isn't about productivity hacks. It's about reclaiming leadership clarity, decision quality, and executive focus. You'll explore: 1-How meeting overload impacts CEO performance and decision-making 2-The hidden cost of status meetings vs. decision-driven meetings 3-How written updates can replace hours of unnecessary calls 4-Why clear ownership (DRIs) reduces bottlenecks and frees leadership capacity 5-Where reclaimed time should actually go: strategy, growth, revenue, or personal recovery If five extra hours appeared on your calendar next week, would you use them to think, build, sell—or finally step away? This episode is for founders, CEOs, and senior executives ready to redesign their operating rhythm and take back control of their time. 🎧 Listen now to reclaim your calendar—and your leadership edge.

    Philip Botha: It's Why Leadership Development Efforts Fail To Create Monumental Change

    Most leadership development fails for one simple reason: it focuses on skills, not on how leaders actually change. In this episode of the WholeCEO Podcast, Lisa G. sits down with Philip Botha to unpack why so many leadership programs create short-term insight—but rarely produce lasting, behavioral transformation. Together, they explore what really drives monumental change in leaders: how neural pathways are formed and rewired, why emotional regulation is a leadership capability (not a soft skill), and how values—not tactics—shape decision-making, trust, and culture over time. This conversation goes beyond performance hacks and into the internal architecture of leadership. You'll hear why alignment between personal values and organizational values is critical for sustainable growth, how authenticity impacts culture at scale, and why leaders who ignore emotional development often hit invisible ceilings—no matter how talented they are. If you're a CEO, founder, or senior leader who's invested in growth but frustrated by stalled change—this episode will challenge how you think about leadership development entirely. In this episode, we cover: 1-Why traditional leadership development fails to create lasting change 2-How neural pathways influence behavior, habits, and leadership patterns 3-The role of emotional regulation in trust, judgment, and decision quality 4-Values alignment as the foundation of authentic leadership 5-How personal growth directly shapes organizational culture 6-Building trust and psychological safety through emotional awareness   This episode is for leaders who want real change—not just better ideas. 🎧 Listen if you're ready to lead from the inside out.

    Lisa Goldenthal: Had Enough? How To Stop Being Your Company's Safety Net

    If you stepped away from your company for 72 hours, would it keep moving—or quietly stall while everyone waits for you to decide? In this episode of the WholeCEO Podcast, Lisa Goldenthal delivers a leadership reality check for CEOs and founders who feel constantly pulled back into decisions that shouldn't require them. This isn't about working harder or being more available. It's about how permission culture turns capable teams into bottlenecks—and leaders into safety nets. Lisa breaks down the hidden costs of decision drag, how "alignment" often masks decision avoidance, and why too many choices still land on the leader's desk. You'll learn where execution slows, how momentum quietly leaks, and what it's really costing the business in speed, focus, and growth. Most importantly, this episode outlines the three decision rules every CEO must reset—ownership, authority, and consequences—to reclaim time, restore clarity, and build an organization that moves without constant permission. If you're tired of carrying decisions that don't belong to you and ready to lead a company that executes without you being the fallback, this conversation is for you. 🎧 Listen now and start dismantling the permission culture holding your leadership—and your business—back.

    Sébastien Page: What Happens When The Quietest Leaders Are Actually Winning Now

    What if the leaders shaping the future aren't the loudest in the room? On this episode of the WholeCEO Podcast, host Lisa G. sits down with Sébastien Page to challenge one of business's most persistent myths: that great leadership requires charisma, volume, and constant visibility.

You'll learn: • Why the business world has historically rewarded extroversion over effectiveness • Which quiet leadership behaviors consistently outperform charismatic leadership under pressure • A real example of an introverted leader who scaled impact without changing their personality • The signals boards, investors, and senior teams should watch for when identifying high-potential leaders beyond the obvious voices If you're a CEO, founder, board member, or senior leader questioning traditional leadership models—or if you've ever felt underestimated because you lead quietly—this episode will change how you see power, performance, and influence. 🎧 Tune in and discover why the quietest leaders may be the ones actually winning now.
