Is your business’s growth stalled? Employee churn eating into your profits? Struggling with customer retention?
You need stronger connections.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, connect with an expert who’s sharing actionable advice for building stronger relationships with your customers, clients, and stakeholders. Hosted by Karl Pontau, a storytelling super-connector, content system strategist, and survivor of two childhood brain tumors, this podcast’s mission is to fix the underlying cause of workplace and societal dysfunction: the lack of human connection.
In this insightful episode of The Human Connection podcast, host Karl Pontau speaks with Dr. Carla Fowler, an MD, PhD, and elite executive coach who has been a “secret weapon” for numerous CEOs and senior leaders. Dr. Fowler shares how performance science can transform not just individual achievement but team dynamics and organizational success.
Dr. Fowler breaks down performance science into four key buckets: strategy, execution, mindset, and physiology. Through engaging stories from her coaching experience, she illustrates how clarity in leadership goals creates a ripple effect of motivation and alignment throughout teams. When leaders share their strategic frameworks, team members gain understanding of how they fit into the bigger picture, increasing autonomy and reducing micromanagement.
The conversation explores how effective delegation isn’t just about freeing up a leader’s bandwidth—it’s about creating growth opportunities for team members. Dr. Fowler emphasizes the importance of dedicated thinking time for leaders, calling it not a luxury but a necessity for strategic clarity and sustainable growth.
This episode offers practical insights for leaders looking to scale their organizations while maintaining team connection and avoiding burnout. Remember, no matter if your business is B2B or B2C, it’s really H2H—human to human!
