What if the reason you're still stuck isn't a lack of knowledge, but the gap between knowing and becoming?
In the episode of Full Circle Chat Podcast, Christian Ume-Ezeoke sits down with Elise Madrick, Founder and CEO of Cerené, and Andrew Sykes, Founder and CEO of Habits at Work, for a transformative conversation on identity, reinvention, leadership, behavioral change, and what it truly takes to create lasting transformation.
Many people spend years reading books, listening to podcasts, attending workshops, and pursuing personal development, yet find themselves facing the same challenges, patterns, and limitations. Elise and Andrew reveal why awareness alone is not enough, how hidden stories shape our identities, and why meaningful change requires more than insight.
Drawing from decades of experience in behavioral science, executive education, leadership development, ontological coaching, entrepreneurship, and habit formation, they share powerful perspectives on how individuals can break free from limiting beliefs, redesign their environments, embrace discomfort, and become the person they are capable of being.
Whether you're navigating a personal transition, leading through uncertainty, building a business, pursuing a bigger vision, or simply feeling stuck, this conversation offers practical wisdom and a fresh perspective on transformation in a rapidly changing world.
