Why You Don't Do What You Know You Should
from Business Roundtable · host David W. Carr
You can have the right strategy, the right team, and the right systems. But if you are running on empty, none of it performs the way it should. And most leaders already know what they should do. They just do not do it.Jalene Szuba is the founder of Happiness Anchor, a nationally board certified health and wellness coach, TEDx speaker, and Tulane University wellness consultant. In this conversation with David Carr she starts with sleep as a performance driver, not a lifestyle topic, then goes where most leadership talks never reach: why knowing better so rarely changes what we do.She unpacks the Immunity to Change framework from Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey, the same process she uses in her coaching and in research at Tulane. You will hear how hidden commitments and big assumptions work against your goals, one foot on the gas and one on the brake, why small tests beat massive overhauls, and why a healthy culture has to start at the top. Underneath it all is the Steward Your Business idea that the biggest constraints on a leader are internal, and they will not fix themselves.You will walk away able to name the change you keep avoiding, and with a simple first step you can take tonight.Connect with Jalene Szuba on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaleneszuba/Happiness Anchor: https://www.happinessanchor.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/business-roundtable--6049255/support.Connect with Steward Your Business:Book a Leadership Clarity Call: https://calendar.stewardyourbusiness.com/ccCall: +1 909.404.9865Website: https://stewardyourbusiness.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidwcarrWatch more episodes and subscribe on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@steward_your_business
