In this episode, I'm joined by Jaime Taets, founder and CEO of Keystone International Group and leadership author, for a conversation about what she calls climbing the "second mountain" . It's the season when achievement alone stops being fulfilling and you begin asking deeper questions about how you want to work, lead, and live. Jaime shares how an incredibly difficult year forced her to reevaluate her relationship with work, stress, and success. We also look ahead at what leadership requires in a rapidly changing workplace, especially as AI continues to reshape how we work. We talk about: What it means to reach your "second mountain" and why high achievers often experience this shift The signs that your old definition of success may no longer fit Why rest and energy management are strategic leadership skills its not something you earn after the work is done How to recognize workaholism, anxiety, and patterns that are no longer serving you Why regulating your own energy matters when you're leading others through uncertainty How great leaders model resilience and stability during periods of change What AI is changing about the skills leaders need and why expertise alone may no longer be enough What younger generations can teach us about work, growth, and adaptability Why curiosity, a growth mindset, and hope will become increasingly important leadership qualities This conversation is a reminder that evolving beyond an old version of success doesn't mean everything you've built was wrong. Sometimes the next level of leadership requires looking inward, getting clear on what matters now, and being willing to change alongside the world around you.
