    Ep 22 – Power tip: "Process mastery starts with micro-training", Sid Jashnani

    This Level 10 Leaders Power Tip features Sid Jashnani, Certified EOS Implementer, sharing a practical strategy for achieving process mastery through weekly micro-training. While many companies are good at documenting processes, the real challenge is making sure those processes are consistently followed by everyone on the team. Sid explains that strong businesses build scalability and consistency by ensuring processes are not only documented, but also regularly trained, measured, and reinforced. Instead of running long and often ineffective training sessions, Sid recommends adding 10-minute micro-training segments into weekly Level 10 meetings. Each week, a team member teaches a specific process, reinforcing learning while embedding training into the team’s regular meeting rhythm. Over time, these short sessions compound into dozens of hours of process training each year: strengthening accountability, improving process adoption, and helping leadership teams reduce operational issues.

    Ep 21 – Rachel Downey on EOS, leadership & listening to your inner voice

    Ryan Castle sits down with Rachel Downey, EOS Implementer and founder of Guide Studio, to explore the deeply human side of entrepreneurship: what happens when success on the outside doesn’t match how you feel on the inside. Rachel shares three powerful insights from her journey: the loneliness that can come with leadership, the importance of listening to the “quiet voice” that signals when something needs to change, and why investing in yourself is the most impactful investment an entrepreneur can make. She opens up about moments of feeling lost despite running a thriving business, the pivotal role of community through EO, and how implementing EOS helped her build leaders within her company and step into a bigger vision. This episode is for founders, leaders, and high achievers who feel stuck, stretched, or disconnected. If you’re navigating growth, searching for clarity, or ready to evolve into your next level of leadership, Rachel’s story offers both reassurance and a practical path forward.

    Ep 20 - Power tip: "Reframing time & accountability: a simple leadership mindset shift", Tonya Petrozzi

    This Level 10 Leaders Power Tip is from Tonya Petrozzi, EOS Implementer at Petrozzi Coaching & Consulting, who shares a powerful leadership mindset shift called Reframing Time & Accountability. Many leaders unintentionally give away their power by saying, “I didn’t have time.” Tonya explains why this language weakens accountability and how a simple shift can change the way leadership teams think about commitments and priorities. Instead of saying “I didn’t have time,” Tonya challenges leaders to reframe it as “I chose to do X instead of Y.” This subtle change moves the conversation from excuses to ownership, helping teams get honest about priorities and decisions. When leaders take responsibility for how they spend their time, accountability strengthens and teams gain real traction.

    Ep 19 - Leadership lessons for engineers: how technical experts become great leaders, Ron Higgs

    Ryan Castle sits down with Ron Higgs, leadership coach at Wolf Management, former Naval Flight Officer, and aerospace engineering leader who now helps technical professionals transition into effective people leaders. Ron shares three practical leadership principles drawn from aviation, engineering, and years of coaching: stay open and curious, build genuine relationships before trying to lead, and always expect the unexpected. He explains why many technical leaders struggle when moving from individual contributor to manager, and how frameworks like “connect, inspire, lead” help bridge that gap. If you lead engineers, technical teams, or fast-growing organizations where communication, trust, and execution matter, this episode offers practical tools for building stronger teams and leading with clarity when things don’t go according to plan.

    Ep 18 - Power tip: "Psychological safety in EOS®, why leaders must help teams feel safe and matter", Kyle Danner

    This Level 10 Leaders Power Tip is from Kyle Danner, Certified EOS Implementer at EOS Worldwide, to unpack two universal human needs that sit at the heart of great LMA inside EOS®: the need to feel safe and the need to matter. Kyle explains why psychological safety is foundational to healthy teams. When people feel safe, they raise issues without fear. When they feel heard, they engage in healthy conflict and commit to decisions, even when it is not their preferred option. If you want stronger accountability, better Level 10 meetings, and real traction, start by building a culture where every person knows they are safe and that their voice counts.

    Ep 17 – Execution drift: how to turn strategy into daily action with Dr Mike Ashby

    Ryan Castle talks with Mike Ashby (Level 10 Leaders) about execution drift: the gap between strategy and what actually gets done once everyone is back in the day to day. They unpack why plans stall (inertia, missed deadlines, “perfect conditions” thinking) and why execution is a daily behaviour, not a quarterly spreadsheet. Mike shares a simple 3 part fix: upskill managers to create time and headspace, coach in the workflow to break inertia, and build visible accountability so daily actions match the plan.

    Ep 16 – Power tip: "Real delegation starts with micromanagement", Linda van Egmond

    Delegation is one of the biggest friction points for founders and leaders. In this Power Tip, Linda van Egmond explains why delegation often fails and why that failure is rarely about people or motivation. It’s a structure problem. When everything stops without you, you don’t have a business. You have an expensive job. Linda reframes delegation as a staged process, not a handover. Define success. Model the work. Coach with a safety net. Move to partial ownership. Then fully let go. Yes, it takes longer upfront, but it compounds fast. If delegation doesn’t feel like micromanagement at first, you’re skipping steps.
