#37 - Krystena Sterling, Principal Consultant & Executive Coach, Sterling Coaching LLC

In this episode, Krystena Sterling joins Jesse to explore how intentional leadership, organizational psychology, and genuine curiosity can reshape the way executives lead. She breaks down why great coaching isn’t about giving answers but about asking the right questions, how unconscious biases influence decision-making, and what leaders should prioritize when stepping into new roles or positioning themselves for succession. Krystena also highlights the importance of feedback loops and staying coachable at the senior level. The episode closes with a powerful look at her equine-based nonprofit, Stable Ground Institute, where horses help foster youth and others develop emotional awareness, connection, and essential life skills.
