## Resource

In today’s episode, I sit down with executive coach, bestselling author, and leadership expert Rhett Power to talk about how self-talk shapes leadership, culture, and performance. Drawing from years of research and conversations with elite athletes, coaches, and business leaders, Rhett explains why the conversations we have with ourselves influence the way we lead others. We discuss practical strategies for recognizing negative thought patterns, building stronger internal dialogue, and creating healthier team environments. Alongside Rory Cutaia, John Coyle, and Dr. Shawn Dill, we also explore resilience, fear, accountability, and why improving the way we think can transform both personal growth and organizational success.
