Are You Ready to Stop Performing Success and Start Living It?

If you're an executive experiencing leadership burnout recovery, this episode marks a turning point. I'm Janet Ioli, and after years of providing authentic leadership coaching to Fortune 200 leaders, I've discovered something powerful: the most transformative leaders aren't those who compartmentalize their lives—they're the ones who embrace executive life integration. This inaugural episode of The Inner Edge isn't just another leadership podcast launch; it's an invitation into the kind of inner work for leaders that creates lasting change. Whether you're navigating midlife career reinvention, questioning your purpose at 50, or simply exhausted from pretending your personal struggles don't affect your professional performance, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Learn the difference between surface-level leadership advice and the whole person leadership approach that creates authentic transformation from the inside out
• Discover how to recognize when you're ready to stop following everyone else's blueprint and start your own leadership transformation journey that honors your complete self
• Uncover the truth about why traditional leadership development fails executives who are craving leadership authenticity and meaningful integration of their personal and professional lives

What if I told you that 95% of your leadership decisions aren't actually yours? In this raw and revelatory episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the invisible cultural conditioning that's been running your leadership show from behind the scenes. After years of coaching global executives and my own journey from perfectionist performer to authentic leader, I've discovered that most of us are leading from someone else's script – and it's time to rewrite the story.

Your leadership presence and emotional mastery depend on understanding these hidden rules that operate beneath your awareness, shaping everything from your attachment styles to your team dynamics.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Learn the four-step process for identifying and unlearning cultural conditioning that's limiting your leadership authenticity and keeping you stuck in performance mode
• Discover how unconscious childhood experiences create automatic leadership behaviors like micromanagement, delegation challenges, and emotional distance in team connections
• Uncover the difference between adapting from fear versus making intentional choices from a place of self-awareness and grounded leadership
