  • Meta Performance™ Moment #25: The Trap of Having All the Answers
    Jul 22 2025

    In these ‘Moment’ episodes, we highlight some of the most powerful insights from past conversations on Beyond High Performance.

    YOUR FINEST HOUR | In this Moment of Meta Performance™, we revisit a powerful conversation with Danielle Smith, an executive leader dedicated to developing people—not just driving results.

    Danielle opens up about one of the most overlooked traps in leadership: believing you must have all the answers. In this candid clip, she unpacks the critical mindset shift from being the answer-giver to becoming a coach—and how that transition not only empowers teams but unlocks long-term growth across an organization.

    This isn’t just about productivity. It’s about legacy. It’s about choosing to grow leaders, not just manage outcomes.

    You’ll discover:

    • Why great leadership isn’t about speed—it’s about scale
    • The difference between consulting and coaching (and when to use each)
    • How middle managers transformed by shifting from “fixing” to “developing”
    • The risk of bottlenecking growth by always being the answer-giver
    • How one manufacturing leader began multiplying his influence through questions

  • Meta Performance™ Moment #23: Why Luke Schenn Believes Mental Rebound Control is the Key to Longevity
    Jun 24 2025

    In these ‘Moment’ episodes, we highlight some of the most powerful insights from past conversations on Beyond High Performance.


    METAPERFORMANCE SHOW | In this Moment of Meta Performance from the Beyond High Performance podcast, two-time Stanley Cup champion Luke Schenn pulls back the curtain on the mindset that has fueled his longevity in one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports on the planet.


    At the NHL level, physical talent only takes you so far. As Luke shares candidly, the real differentiator is mental resilience—what he calls “mental rebound control.” It’s not about never making mistakes. It’s about how fast you bounce back from them.

    In this high-stakes conversation, Luke opens up about the toll of performance slumps, how a single bad shift can spiral into weeks of subpar play, and the mental tools he’s developed to stay level-headed, consistent, and competitive.

    This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about building the capacity to reset, refocus, and return stronger—whether you’re lacing up skates or leading a boardroom.

    You’ll discover:

    • Why elite performance is 90% mental (especially when everyone’s physically elite)
    • How negative spirals derail careers—and how to break the cycle
    • The connection between rebound control in hockey and in life
    • How to use self-talk, preparation rituals, and short memory to stay sharp
    • Why great coaches don’t just fix problems—they help you recover faster


    Whether you’re leading a team or facing your own high-pressure moments, this conversation challenges you to rethink how you measure strength—and to build a mindset that holds up under pressure.


    🎧 Listen now and ask yourself: Do you have the mental habits to perform at your best—even when the pressure’s on?

  • Meta Performance™ Moment #22: Why Bob Goff Believes Presence is the Highest Form of Leadership
    Jun 17 2025

    In these ‘Moment’ episodes, we highlight some of the most powerful insights from past conversations on Beyond High Performance.


    METAPERFORMANCE SHOW | In this Moment of Meta Performance from the Beyond High Performance podcast, bestselling author, lawyer, and humanitarian Bob Goff shares a radically honest perspective on what it means to lead with clarity, compassion, and presence.


    Bob doesn’t return texts. He doesn’t take voicemails. And he hasn’t made an appointment in over four years—not because he’s disengaged, but because he’s deeply engaged with what matters most.


    This episode isn’t about working harder. It’s about building a life and leadership style that’s anchored in self-awareness, safe relationships, and intentional time.


    You’ll discover:

    • Why emotional self-awareness is the hidden key to lasting influence
    • What happens when you lead from security, not fear
    • How to create “Switzerland relationships” that ground and restore you
    • The power of helping your team aim higher by asking better questions
    • Why availability, when done with intention, becomes your most valuable asset

    Whether you're navigating high-stakes leadership or just trying to stay human while leading others, this moment invites you to step back, get real, and lead with what matters most.

    Listen now and ask yourself: Are you designing a life that can hold up under pressure?

  • How Mental Coaching Transformed an NFL Career—and What It Means for Leaders
    Jun 10 2025

    YOUR FINEST HOUR | What if your next breakthrough didn’t come from a new strategy, but from mastering what’s happening between your ears?

    Brad Robbins, NFL punter for the Buffalo Bills, knows what it’s like to perform under extreme pressure, where milliseconds matter and millions are watching. But the shift that changed everything for him didn’t happen on the field. It happened inside.

    In this episode of Your Finest Hour, Novus Global President and Chief Coaching Officer Dan Leffelaar, along with Director of Novus Global Sport, Athletes & Teams, Andrew Ladd, sit down with Brad to unpack his transformation from elite athlete to high-performance leader in training.

    This isn’t a story about sports. It’s a playbook for founders, CEOs, and high performers navigating the invisible game—the one between mindset, identity, and leadership at scale.

    Forget the locker room clichés. This is a masterclass in self-awareness, high-trust teams, and the courage it takes to get coached.


    Inside this conversation, you’ll discover:

    ✔️ How the world’s top performers rewire their relationship to pressure and performance
    ✔️ The hidden dynamics that shape high-output teams (and how to build one)
    ✔️ What business leaders can learn from the athlete’s obsession with feedback
    ✔️ Why Brad started training as a Meta Performance™ coach—while still playing in the NFL
    ✔️ How to build a personal performance system that drives long-term growth


    Whether you're scaling a business, leading a team, or carrying the weight of a billion-dollar vision—this episode is your reminder: growth isn’t a phase. It’s a decision. And it starts with you.

    Your next level isn’t out there. It’s already within reach.

    Jun 3 2025

    In these ‘Moment’ episodes, we highlight some of the most powerful insights from past conversations on Beyond High Performance.


    METAPERFORMANCE SHOW | In this episode of the Beyond High Performance Podcast, host Jason Jaggard features a game-changing keynote from bestselling author and productivity strategist Rory Vaden, who redefines how elite performers approach time.

    Rory doesn’t teach traditional time management. He teaches time multiplication—a strategic shift that elite leaders use to scale their impact by thinking beyond urgency and into long-term significance.

    He introduces the Significance Calculation™, a mindset that asks not “What’s most important today?” but “What can I do today that creates more time tomorrow?”

    Inside the conversation, you’ll explore:

    • Why time can’t be managed, but it can be multiplied
    • How high performers think about time differently than everyone else
    • The five powerful strategies behind the Focus Funnel
    • Why distraction is today’s greatest leadership tax, and how to beat it
    • The real productivity skill that defines modern leadership

    Whether you're building a company, leading at scale, or reinventing your relationship with time, this episode will challenge how you make decisions, and unlock exponential room for growth.

    Listen now and discover why multiplying time may be the most valuable leadership skill of your career.
