Leadership rarely breaks in a single moment—it wears down through sustained pressure, blurred boundaries, and leaders carrying too much for too long.

In this episode of The Change Agent, leadership coach Erin Treacy joins the conversation to explore burnout, emotional intelligence, and what sustainable leadership actually looks like in practice. Drawing on nearly three decades across hospitality, marketing, and communications—as well as her experience as a former competitive alpine skier—Erin reframes leadership away from endurance and toward rhythm, recovery, and clarity.

This is a grounded discussion for leaders who are still performing, but at a cost—and want to lead well without losing themselves in the process.

Leadership is often judged by confidence and certainty. But in reality, the most defining moments of leadership occur when clarity disappears.

In this episode of The Change Agent, Eric Adams is joined by Thomas Jepson-Lay, executive coach and former senior humanitarian leader, to explore what leadership actually demands when control is impossible.

Drawing on nearly two decades leading emergency responses across conflict zones and disaster environments, Thomas unpacks:

• why vulnerability can stabilise teams under pressure
• how leaders unknowingly default to past behaviours in moments of fear
• what it means to move from intention-based leadership to consequence-aware leadership
• why complex and “wicked” problems cannot be solved with linear thinking
• how trust, nervous-system awareness, and perspective-sharing shape better decisions

This is not a conversation about tools or techniques.
It is a conversation about responsibility, judgement, and who leaders become when certainty is no longer available.

If you lead people, teams, or systems in high-stakes environments — this episode will challenge how you think about control, authority, and decision-making.

What happens when the life you worked hard to build no longer fits?

In this episode of The Change Agent, Eric sits down with Myrna King—business and life coach, former tech consultant, and founder of A Life Aligned—to explore what it really means to make YOURSELF the priority.

Myrna shares how high-performing professionals often reach the goals they fought for, only to discover burnout, misalignment, or a quiet loss of purpose. Together, they unpack why accountability feels threatening, how courage shows up in personal leadership, and why alignment isn’t about doing more—but doing what actually restores you.

This conversation bridges practical leadership execution with inner work, showing how tools like structured project thinking, Socratic questioning, and emotional release practices help leaders move from feeling stuck to living deliberately.

If you’ve ever felt successful on paper but unfulfilled in reality, this episode will help you rethink progress, redefine leadership, and take your next step with clarity.
