If you've ever wondered why the same conflict, the same stuck decision, or the same exhaustion keeps showing up in your business, this episode is for you. Sana sits down with Theresa Gale, Enneagram-based leadership consultant and coach, to unpack why the patterns running your business are the same ones that were shaping your life decades before you ever led a team.
Theresa breaks down how childhood adaptations quietly become leadership habits, why "successful" doesn't always mean "complete," and how a simple three-centered practice, head, heart, gut, can help any leader make clearer, more grounded decisions.
About the Guest:
Theresa Gale has spent thirty years working with individuals and organizations navigating the gap between the life they're living and the one they sense is possible. She is a consultant, coach, and author of The Inner Work of Love and Action.
Key Takeaways:
- Most leadership habits, like conflict avoidance or over-giving, were formed decades before the business existed, not learned in a leadership course
- A "three-centered practice," checking in with your head, heart, and gut before a decision, builds the self-awareness muscle over time
- Success without inner alignment often shows up as high performance paired with quiet exhaustion or unexplained team turnover
- The gap between where you are and where you sense you could be is the starting signal for change, not a problem to hide
