Are you a high achiever who's built your career on being smart and avoiding mistakes? In this episode, Rusty tackles the paralyzing pressure that successful professionals face when it comes to making mistakes, especially in high-stakes situations.
Through a revealing client story about "Steve," who struggles with a seemingly unfixable situation, Rusty challenges the common belief that avoiding mistakes is the path to success. He introduces a simple but powerful framework called BEAR (Beliefs, Emotions, Actions, Results) that could transform how you handle high-pressure situations.
Learn why the very mindset that made you successful might be holding you back from reaching the next level, and discover why true leadership isn't about having all the right answers. (Hint: It's about asking better questions!)
Perfect for:
- Senior leaders feeling pressure to always get it right
- High achievers struggling with perfectionism
- Executives preparing for high-stakes presentations
- Anyone who fears making mistakes in front of higher-ups
Key themes:
- The hidden cost of avoiding mistakes
- Why confidence matters more than competence
- How to shift from problem-solver to solution-guide
- A fresh perspective on executive presence
Listen to discover why your next "failure" might actually be your biggest opportunity for growth.
