At the Intersection of High Performance and Fulfillment: A Conversation with Alisa Cohn
About this episode
This episode features a conversation with executive coach Alisa Cohn about the psychological work required for leaders to grow alongside their organizations.
In this episode I sit down with Alisa Cohn , one of the world's most respected executive coaches to founders and CEOs navigating the high-stakes transition from early success to sustainable leadership. Drawing from decades of experience coaching startup founders, Fortune 500 executives, and public-sector leaders, Alisa explores the often invisible psychological work required to scale—not just companies, but leaders themselves. We examine why self-management precedes team management, how identity must evolve as responsibility grows, and what truly distinguishes leaders who mature alongside their organizations from those who become bottlenecks to their own success. This conversation goes beyond tactics and performance metrics to address the deeper questions of meaning, alignment, and human connection at the heart of leadership. Topics include letting go of control, metabolizing feedback, leading with presence, redefining success, and cultivating cultures that remain humane under pressure. This episode is a candid, thoughtful exploration of what it really means to "grow up" as a leader—and how doing so is essential to living, and leading, a life in full. #coaching #leadership…
