You've got the title, the salary, the career you worked decades to build. But something feels off, and you can't quite name it. This episode is for you.

Candy Motzek sits down with Rochelle Trow, author of two Amazon bestselling books, including her newest release, Anchored, and a former senior HR executive with 25 years across seven global organizations. Rochelle now coaches senior leaders navigating complexity in fast-moving global contexts, and she's one of the most grounded and clear-eyed people you'll hear on this topic.

They talk about why leaders always point to external factors when the real work is internal, how beliefs formed in childhood quietly shape every decision you make under pressure, and why slowing down is the most counterintuitive and most effective thing a leader can do right now. Rochelle also shares the story behind Anchored, why she wrote it, and what she learned after 25 years in corporate HR that no leadership program ever taught her.

They also get into something bigger. The human cost of organizations that restructure without compassion, what it does to trust, and why better decisions start with leaders who know themselves.

This one's a great conversation and it's worth a second listen.
