What does it truly mean to lead with intention—and create lasting, positive influence?

In this episode of Daily Influence, Gregg-Brooke Koleno sits down with executive coach, leadership consultant, and coaching pioneer DJ Mitsch, founder of Pyramid Resource Group and the Healthcare Coaching Institute. With over three decades of experience and as a founding leader in the coaching industry, DJ shares powerful insights on how self-awareness, curiosity, and human connection shape exceptional leadership.

Together, they explore the deeper meaning of responsible influence, redefining accountability as the ability to respond, and why engaging both the hearts and minds of people is essential for impactful leadership.

DJ also shares:

• How self-awareness tools like the Enneagram help leaders show up more effectively

• The mindset shift from proving your worth to knowing you are enough

• Why curiosity—not authority—is the key to strong team cultures

• A powerful real-life story of coaching that led to extraordinary career transformation

• Practical ways leaders can foster accountability, patience, and meaningful contribution within teams

This conversation is a reminder that influence doesn’t come from titles—it comes from how we show up, connect, and contribute every day.

Whether you’re a business leader, coach, or someone committed to personal growth, this episode offers actionable insights to help you lead with clarity, purpose, and impact.
