This episode of the Building Bigger Lives podcast features Michael Regan and Kathryn Pedersen welcoming executive coach Steph Saffer as their guest. Steph shares her unique background transitioning from being a licensed acupuncturist for 16 years to becoming an executive coach, drawing from her experience treating 40,000 patients who were high-performing leaders dealing with burnout and workplace challenges. She discusses key leadership lessons learned from her clinical practice, particularly how people's perspectives significantly impact their outcomes and the importance of taking responsibility for the energy they bring into situations. The conversation explores how Steph helps high-performing leaders close the gap between their external facade and internal authentic self, emphasizing that people rise to their highest beliefs about themselves and the value of getting feedback from trusted others to identify blind spots. Steph shares personal examples including her own journey of coming out as gay at age 30 and how coaching helped her understand the power of radical ownership in taking responsibility for all aspects of life.
