Unfazed Under Fire Podcast
Welcome to Unfazed Under Fire, a podcast designed to help senior executives lead with greater impact, resilience, and well-being. Each episode is rooted in proven, systemic frameworks that empower leaders to achieve extraordinary results, foster high-performing cultures, and thrive in today’s complex and unpredictable business environment.
I created this podcast for two key reasons:
First, to provide executives with leadership principles and culture-enhancing frameworks that support them in turning their visions into reality and achieving their goals.
Second, to challenge and inspire the leadership development and executive coaching fields to adopt new approaches—particularly breakthroughs in neuroscience—that accelerate growth and enhance leadership effectiveness.
In a time of global crisis and unprecedented challenges, business leaders are uniquely positioned to drive change that unites rather than divides. By embodying enlightened leadership, executives can create environments that unlock the full potential of their teams and generate innovative solutions for a better future.
If you're an executive committed to this kind of leadership, this podcast is for you. Let’s shape the future of leadership together.

The Power of Enlightened Leadership and the Primary Means to Develop It
In our last podcast, Anatoly Yakorev and l discussed the intersection between leadership trust and ethics. During that conversation, we touched on the nature of leadership in the executive suite and how a large contingent that still defaults to a more autocratic style of leadership that drives results through fear. That said, we agreed that an enlightened approach to leading is what works far better to generate high-quality results, retain talent, and improve well-being at work.
Enlightened leaders have strong executive presence, are more visionary and strategic, exceptional in their conversational intelligence, and stellar in their ability to create alignment as well as to attract and retain talent. All of this results in maximizing their ability to create value and generate outstanding results for their organizations, at a level no autocratic leader can generate.
I invited Anatoly back for this conversation to dive deeper into this and explore the value of an enlightened approach to leadership and what an executive must do to develop into a more enlightened leader.
