What Got You Here Is Holding You Back: The Slow Drift Into Misalignment with Megan Leasher

What if the real issue isn’t burnout—but misalignment? In this episode of the BOLT, I sit down with Megan Leasher, organizational psychologist and executive coach, to explore why high achievers often feel stuck when what made them successful stops working. Together, they unpack how workplace disruption creates internal shifts, how to spot early warning signs, and how to realign with purpose and growth. Topics We Discussed Why high achievers get stuck at the next level  What disruption looks like for leaders today  Misalignment vs. burnout and disengagement  Recognizing early “smoke signals”  The role of trust between leaders and teams  How coaching uncovers the real issue  Habits that hold leaders back  Delegation and empowerment  Body signals of stress and misalignment  Fear, identity, and reframing challenges  Why leadership development starts too late  The power of pause and reflection  Building a “support army”  The key question: Where do I want to be? https://www.toddbertsch.com/podcast/the-slow-drift-into-misalignment-with-megan-leasher Thanks for listening!
