Jamie Wilhelm www.jamiewilhelmcoaching.com LinkedIn: Jamie Wilhelm Email [email protected] In this episode, Coach John Perry welcomes executive leadership coach Jamie Wilhelm for a conversation every leader needs to hear. Jamie shares how years inside Fortune-level organizations helped her recognize a common pattern: the leaders everyone admired were often carrying the heaviest burdens behind the scenes. Together, John and Jamie discuss why pressure leads many leaders toward burnout, perfectionism, and reactive decision-making—and how slowing down can actually help you accomplish more. You'll discover practical ways to lead with greater confidence, improve your decision-making, strengthen your relationships, and create healthier habits that benefit both your work and your home life. Whether you're leading an athletic program, a business, a school, or simply striving to become a better version of yourself, this episode offers practical wisdom you can apply immediately. Top 10 Takeaways Pressure doesn't create character—it reveals patterns. Calm is a leadership skill that can be developed. Self-awareness is the beginning of better leadership. You can't lead others well if you don't lead yourself first. High performers often struggle because they never stop proving themselves. Small reactive moments create big organizational consequences. Leaders need space to think before they can lead well. Saying "no" to the wrong things creates capacity for the right things. Sustainable leadership beats short-term hustle. Never Stop Getting Better starts with becoming more intentional every day.
