Beschrijving

Kris Mahler has spent nine years on the Canadian national ski cross team, survived three major injuries including a broken neck, and is now building a performance coaching business alongside his athletic career. He's one of a rare group of people who can speak to the mental side of high performance not as theory but as lived experience — including winning a World Cup on a hamstring that tested at double the acceptable deficit. This conversation moves through what actually separates athletes at the highest level, why the most effective coaching sessions are often the quietest ones, what it means to have people who genuinely believe in you standing at the bottom of the course, and why the question you're starting from — why versus what — shapes everything that follows.

She coaches executives and leadership teams through organizational change and facilitates at Canada Coach Academy.In this episode, she and Nathalie cover what it actually feels like when a room breaks open, why people form a judgment about you within seven seconds, what to do before any difficult conversation, and why the problem you're brought in to solve is almost always a symptom of something else.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.
