    Stop Waiting. Start Doing. with Klyn Elsbury | #18

    What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't a lack of talent, time, or opportunity—but your own hesitation? On this episode of Good Enough, host Brittany Greenfield sits down with Klyn Elsbury, a nationally recognized persuasion and negotiation expert who built a seven-figure business while navigating cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and more than 60 hospitalizations. Klyn shares how facing extraordinary challenges shaped her approach to business and life, helping her turn action over perfection into a powerful philosophy that has generated more than $100 million in new revenue for the companies she's worked with. Together, Brittany and Klyn explore why waiting until you feel ready can keep you stuck, how the stories we tell ourselves shape our decisions, and why taking imperfect action is often the fastest path to growth. In this episode, you'll discover: ● Why hesitation holds you back: How perfectionism, fear of failure, and other people's opinions can keep you from taking the next step. ● How to get out of your own head: Why breaking big goals into smaller, manageable actions can help you build momentum. ● The power of connection: How stepping outside your comfort zone, understanding other people's perspectives, and finding the right support system can transform your personal and professional life. You don't need perfect timing, complete confidence, or all the answers to get started. You just need to take the next step. Tune in for an honest, hilarious, and inspiring conversation that will challenge you to stop overthinking, trust yourself, and just do the damn thing. Because on Good Enough, done beats perfect.

    The Half-Second That Changes Leadership | #17

    What if the difference between reacting under pressure and leading with intention comes down to just half a second? On this episode of Good Enough, host Brittany Greenfield sits down with Sandra Haddad, an executive coach with more than 25 years of leadership experience, to explore why emotional intelligence (EQ) is one of the most critical skills a leader can develop. Sandra shares the personal wake-up call that changed her approach to leadership and introduces her “Squeeze First” method—a simple, practical way to pause before reacting, recognize your patterns, and choose how you show up. Together, they explore why even the best strategies fail when organizations overlook the human side of change, how leaders can build trust and psychological safety, and why perfectionism can sometimes protect your ego instead of improving your work. In this episode, you'll discover: ● The power of the pause: How half a second can help you interrupt automatic reactions and respond with intention. ● Why EQ is a leadership essential: How empathy, active listening, and self-awareness drive stronger teams, innovation, and results. ● The hidden cost of perfectionism: How to recognize when high standards serve the work—and when they're holding you and your team back. You don't have to become a different person to become a better leader. Start by noticing your patterns, making space to listen, and finding your half-second. Because great leadership isn't about getting everything right—it's about choosing what comes next.

    Stop Chasing Volume. Start Choosing Precision. with Greg Woodward | #16

    What if better results had less to do with doing more—and everything to do with making better moves? In this episode of Good Enough, Brittany Greenfield sits down with Greg Woodward, founder of Woodward Strategies, to unpack the psychology behind why some sales reps and teams consistently outperform others—even when they’re putting in the same hours and making the same number of calls. Greg explains why consistency beats perfection, how subconscious resistance shapes prospect behavior, and why filling the “tank” with enough data can keep leaders from making costly decisions too soon. In this episode, you’ll learn: ● Why doing the reps matters more than winning every individual attempt ● How perfectionism can disguise itself as procrastination—and how to move past it ● Why sales teams should focus on precision, personalization, and the right personas instead of simply increasing activity ● How “chunking” and focused time blocks can dramatically improve both productivity and quality The goal isn’t to make more moves. It’s to make the right moves, consistently—and let small improvements compound over time. Tune in and discover how to trade volume for precision, embrace the inevitable volatility, and make your next move a little better than the last.

    What if the people you think are the problem actually just need more clarity? What if the thing keeping you from moving forward isn’t perfectionism—but shame? In this powerful conversation, Brittany Greenfield sits down with Dr. Melissa Robinson Weinmiller to unpack the hidden connection between shame, self-criticism, procrastination, and decision avoidance.

    It’s Not Your People. It’s Your Systems. with Lia Garvin | #14

    What if the people you think are the problem actually just need more clarity? In this episode of Good Enough, Brittany Greenfield sits down with Lia Garvin, author, leadership expert, and host of Managing Made Simple, to challenge one of the most common assumptions leaders make: that performance problems are always about the people. Lia explains why clear systems, expectations, context, and communication can transform how teams work—and why even the smallest businesses need systems to succeed. Together, Brittany and Lia explore: ● Why clarity beats micromanagement: Giving people clear expectations and context helps them make better decisions independently. ● The power of simple systems: Systems don't have to be complicated—they can be as simple as defining the three steps that absolutely need to happen. ● How to make feedback conversations easier: Lia shares a practical “sit-down” approach that combines ownership, recognition or constructive feedback, and a clear action plan. ● Where AI, automation, and hiring fit: Start by identifying the most frustrating, repetitive task in your day and ask whether it should be automated, delegated, or eliminated. Lia's philosophy is refreshingly simple: good enough systems reduce the number of steps it takes to get something done. You don't need a perfect process—you need a clear one that helps people know what matters, what success looks like, and what to do next. If leadership feels overwhelming, this conversation is a reminder that the answer may not be to work harder or find better people. Sometimes, you just need to make the work easier to do.

    The Leadership Power of Better Questions with Chuck Wisner | #13

    In this episode of Good Enough, Brittany Greenfield sits down with leadership consultant, executive coach, and author Chuck Wisner to rethink what effective communication really looks like. Chuck explains why great leaders don’t need to have all the answers—they need to create the conditions for better questions, deeper dialogue, and shared understanding. His “open hand” approach to communication helps leaders move away from command-and-control and toward collaboration, curiosity, and trust. Together, Brittany and Chuck explore: ● The “open hand” approach: How revealing your thinking, concerns, and standards can turn confrontation into collaboration. ● The four questions leaders should ask: What do you want? What are your concerns? ● What are the power dynamics? And what standards are shaping your judgment? ● Why leaders need to say “I don’t know”: The higher you climb, the more you have to rely on the expertise of others and learn together. ● How to recognize your own patterns: Learning to notice when defensiveness, assumptions, or old habits are driving the conversation. Chuck offers a simple practice you can use tomorrow: pick one of the four questions and use it to open the conversation rather than close it. Because leadership isn't about being the smartest person in the room—it's about creating the space where everyone can think, contribute, and move forward.

    You’re Not Stuck—You’re Playing the Wrong Game with Ashley Rudolph | #12

    What if the thing holding you back isn’t a lack of ability—but an outdated definition of success? In this episode, host Brittany Greenfield sits down with Ashley Rudolph, who went from individual contributor to VP in just five years, often as the only woman, Black woman, or youngest person in the room. Now, after a decade of studying what helps high achievers advance, Ashley coaches senior leaders at companies including Airbnb, Meta, and Citi to stop being the “best kept secret” and start getting recognized for the leadership they already possess. As Ashley explains, the skills that make you successful early in your career—being the best at your individual work—aren’t necessarily the skills that make you successful as a leader. The conversation explores the pivotal shift from proving what you can do to creating impact through others, and why invisible contributions can be some of the most valuable work a leader does. In this episode, you’ll discover: ● Why high achievers often struggle when they reach senior leadership ● How to redefine success beyond individual accomplishment ● Why the “invisible work” leaders do can create enormous impact ● How to become more intentional about the way you show up as a leader If you’ve ever wondered why working harder isn’t translating into the recognition or influence you want, this conversation will help you rethink the game—and give you a new way to play it.
