Basement to CEO: How Better Questions Built a Better Business

Heart vs. Fear: What Kind of Leader Are You Really?

What's the difference between leading from the heart and leading from fear? Nathalie Blais has been sitting with that question for weeks — doing a full self-audit on her own leadership style, looking for the signals, and mapping what she found. In this episode she covers what your job as a leader actually is, why she'd be a fraud to say she has it figured out, the moment a leader loses the room without knowing it, why fear disguises itself as high standards, two questions that instantly reveal which lane you're in, why courage is a skill anyone can develop, and why withholding is a form of control. This is an invitation to experiment. Use the conversations you have this week as your laboratory. Ready to start your coaching journey?

Who Do You Think You Are: The Story That Almost Stopped a TEDx Talk

In university, Nathalie Blais read every course syllabus before registering for a class. She was checking for oral presentations. If she found one, she dropped it. Thirty years later she stood on a TEDx stage in Washington DC and went completely blank. It turns out the stories you tell yourself long enough start to feel like facts. She gives you one exercise to test that. Ready to start your coaching journey?

Basement to CEO: How Better Questions Built a Better Business

Gina Perrault is the founder and CEO of a multidisciplinary health clinic near Calgary — a business she started in her basement with a three-year-old, a six-month-old, and a husband on parental leave upstairs. Within three years, her team of two had grown to ten, the clinic had moved into a 2,000 square foot building on her acreage, and a non-profit had moved into the basement. Then COVID hit. And so did a rare lymphoma diagnosis. In this episode, Gina talks openly about imposter syndrome and what it took to step into her identity as a CEO, why she finally left a secure career to start over, what coaching changed about how she asks questions — both as a leader and as a clinician — and why she believes the most important shift an entrepreneur can make is learning to lead from worth rather than from the need to prove it.

Best of Revived | The Leader Who Had All the Answers: What Happened When She Stopped Giving Them

Stacey Kravitz has spent over 20 years building her career in food and grocery, moving from sales rep to the president of a national distribution company. She is decisive, results-driven, and self-described as someone who always had the answers. Then she took a coaching certification and discovered that having the answers was exactly what was holding her back as a leader. In this episode, Stacey is candid about the struggle of wearing a leader hat and a coach hat at the same time, the coaching session from 15 years ago she can still recall word for word, why she was once passed over for a promotion because a boss couldn't deliver an honest conversation, and what she means when she says coaching gave her leadership more substance. It's a rare look inside what happens when a senior executive becomes a genuine student again.
