Navigating Uncertainty: Moving Forward Without All the Answers
What do you do when you know you want something more, but you can’t see exactly how to get there?In this episode of Beyond High Performance, Jason Jaggard sits down with Novus Global Partner, David Gerber, to explore what it takes to move toward an ambitious future when the path forward is anything but certain.For David, that question became very real when a nearly 20-year fascination with tracking lions in the African wilderness went from an idea he had repeatedly dismissed as impractical to something he could no longer ignore. What began as a personal pursuit ultimately changed the way he thinks about ambition, obstacles, uncertainty, coaching, and what it means to create a life that makes you feel fully alive.David and Jason unpack a powerful alternative to having everything figured out: find the next track. Instead of needing a five-year plan or certainty about where the path will lead, identify the next conversation, question, decision, or action available to you and see what it reveals.Perhaps most importantly, this conversation challenges us to think differently about achievement itself. The result you’re pursuing matters, but so does who you become in the process of pursuing it. In this episode, we explore:How to move forward when you can’t see the entire pathWhy uncertainty doesn’t have to prevent meaningful actionHow ambitious goals shape who you become, not just what you achieveWhy coaches and leaders gain credibility when they’re willing to embrace the same discomfort and growth they ask of othersHow to pursue meaningful outcomes without making your happiness dependent on achieving themDavid’s New Book: The Lion Is You Download the free companion resource mentioned in the episode: https://4ien1.share.hsforms.com/2dXmKggsiTg6f6mrz2CuEgwBook a Free Discovery Call with a Novus Global Coach: Book NowLearn more about becoming a Novus Global coach:https://www.mp.institute/Download David Gerber's new book, The Lion Is You: https://www.davidagerber.com/book

Could Self-Doubt Be Fueling Your Growth?
“I should be further along.”It’s one of the quietest, most common thoughts high performers carry and can either be one of the most powerful places to begin or sink.In this episode of the Beyond High Performance podcast, Amanda Jaggard, Co-Founder of MPI & Partner at Novus Global, David Miller, Chief Revenue Officer & Novus Global Executive Coach, and Mike Park, Novus Global Partner & Executive Coach, explore the shame, comparison, imposter syndrome, and “prove it” energy that often drive high performers. They discuss how comparison can either keep us stuck or call us forward, why reinvention is not a solo game, and how learning to love the gap between where you are and where you’re going can become a source of freedom, courage, and growth.If you’ve ever felt behind in your career, leadership, finances, relationships, or life, this conversation will help you trade shame for curiosity and start building from where you are.Download the free companion resource mentioned in the episode - https://4ien1.share.hsforms.com/2iEgdnyu0QvKrvs4axBYmNABook a Free Discovery Call with a Novus Global Coach - https://share.hsforms.com/1NxFTm5B-Qc2MdC4XHYrB2Q4ien1?utm_source=BHPS6E2&utm_medium=BHPS6E2&utm_campaign=BHPS6E2Learn more about becoming a Novus Global coach - http://www.mp.institute/#executivecoaching #leadershipdevelopment #novusglobal

Are You Training Your AI, Or Is It Training You?
You’ve probably asked yourself: Am I using AI the right way? That might be the wrong question. In the Season 6 premiere of The Beyond High Performance Podcast, Jason Jaggard, Founder & CEO of Novus Global, sits down with two Novus Global elite coaches, Joseph King Barkley, President of MPI, and Tricia Harding, President of Novus Global, for a conversation that reframes the AI debate entirely. Not as a productivity conversation, but a human one.Together, they challenge the assumption that productivity and efficiency are the ultimate goals—and invite leaders, coaches, and high performers to think more deeply about how AI can either enhance or diminish what matters most.You’ll hear why self-awareness is essential in the age of AI, how you’re already training AI to treat you, and how to tell whether you’re using it as a cast that weakens you or a weight that strengthens you.Download the free companion resource mentioned in the episode: https://4ien1.share.hsforms.com/2rCEwgLCMSDiRZ4Wu4jFqQA Book a Free Discovery Call with a Novus Global Coach: https://share.hsforms.com/1NxFTm5B-Qc2MdC4XHYrB2Q4ien1Learn more about becoming a Novus Global coach: https://www.mp.institute/
