Giving feedback shouldn’t feel uncomfortable, risky, or emotionally draining.

Yet for many leaders, founders, and high-achievers, feedback comes with fear:
Fear of being misunderstood.
Fear of damaging relationships.
Fear of being seen as too harsh—or not being liked anymore.

In this episode of The Magnetic Leader Podcast, executive coach Lisa Jeffs shares her proven 4-step framework for giving clear, honest feedback in a way that builds trust, strengthens relationships, and creates accountability—without conflict or resentment.

You’ll learn how to:

• Regulate your nervous system before difficult conversations
• Lead with acknowledgment and respect
• Separate facts from emotional stories
• Communicate why feedback matters
• Invite ownership instead of defensiveness

Whether you’re managing a team, leading a business, or navigating high-stakes professional relationships, this episode will help you communicate with confidence, emotional intelligence, and calm authority.

Are you a high achiever who shrinks in high-stakes rooms?

Have you ever prepped for a conversation, felt confident, but then found yourself tongue-tied, feeling defeated, and wondering, "What the heck happened?" This episode of The Magnetic Leader Podcast is for every influential leader who battles imposter syndrome and feels they're still playing small.

Host Lisa Jeffs breaks down the "Pedestal Paradox" the subconscious program that causes you to put others on a pedestal (based on their money, title, or looks) and automatically put yourself at a level below. This is the fastest way to kill your executive presence and authentic magnetism.

In this powerful episode, you will learn:

•Why your internal focus is sabotaging your influence and making you feel like a "hot mess express."

•The key to detaching from the outcome so you can stop "performing" and start being your authentic self.

•A critical practice for Highly Sensitive Leaders (HSP) to shift attention outward and create deep, memorable connections.

•How to move from being a top performer to a truly influential leader that people remember and trust.

Stop performing and start leading. Listen now to step into your natural, authentic power state.

As a leader, have you ever found yourself tightening your grip when the pressure goes up? You start second-guessing decisions, jumping into details you should have delegated, and demanding to be copied on every email. On the surface, it feels like being responsible. But internally, it feels heavy, exhausting, and like you're the bottleneck.

This isn't a sign of bad leadership; it's a sign that the stakes have become personal. It's a symptom of a deeper, hidden fear: the fear of being exposed as not good enough.

In this episode, Lisa Jeffs pulls back the curtain on the "high-achiever's trap" and the role that hidden shame plays in causing even the best leaders to micromanage. You'll learn why this pattern shows up, the massive cost it has on you and your team, and the path to moving beyond it. This is a masterclass in shifting from a leader who controls through fear to one who leads with quiet, unshakable confidence.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• The #1 reason why successful leaders start to micromanage and become a bottleneck when pressure increases.
• How to recognize the "shadow behaviors" of shame in your leadership style (perfectionism, control, overthinking).
• The real-world story of a senior executive who was successful but miserable—and the one core belief that was driving his burnout.
• Why awareness of a problem isn't enough, and the steps required to truly "transmute" a limiting belief.
• How to move from being a "high-achiever" to a "truly influential" leader by building deep, internal safety and self-trust.

Key Takeaways & Timestamps

• [00:00] The Hook: Is your sense of responsibility secretly becoming a bottleneck?
• [02:30] Why 2026 is the year of radical self-leadership and why internal work is your greatest point of leverage.
• [05:15] The High-Achiever's Trap: Why leaders tighten their grip under pressure and start to micromanage.
• [08:45] The role of hidden shame and insecurity in driving perfectionism and the need for control.
• [11:20] Case Study: The successful (but miserable) executive and the one belief that was shaping his entire leadership style.
• [16:30] Why "awareness" isn't enough and the danger of getting stuck in the awareness stage.
• [20:10] The true meaning of "having it all" on your own terms by aligning with your core values.

If you recognized yourself in this episode, the leader who is successful but feels the constant pressure to control everything... the work we do together is designed for you. This isn't about pushing harder; it's about removing what's throwing you off.
