Most leaders focus on fixing processes — and the real problems aren’t technical. They’re behavioral.

In this episode, Cathy Maday, Founder, Owner & Advisor of Wingspan Performance® , and Ivan Konermann, VP & also an Advisor, pull back the curtain on the system that transforms high-stakes leaders worldwide. From construction sites to C-suites, they reveal how communication, mindset, and behavior drive every result that matters — at work and at home.

They dig into what happens when “autopilot” takes over, how emotions hold critical data for performance, and why great leaders don’t manage behavior — they practice it.

You’ll Hear:

• How Wingspan first defined Behavioral Performance and built it “boots-on-the-ground.”
• Why high-achievers fail when they rely too much on technical skill.
• What emotions can tell you about your blind spots.
• The three elements every leader must align: mindset, communication, and behavior.
• A story of one team that cut a multi-day problem into a 15-minute breakthrough.
• Why people are hired for skill — and fired for behavior.

Listen if you’re ready to:
✔️ Replace stress and autopilot with real influence.
✔️ Translate frustration into clarity and control.
✔️ Lead teams that perform better — because they behave better.

When performance slips, most leaders double down on effort — not behavior.

In this conversation, Wingspan Advisor Mike Johnson and VP + Advisor, Ivan Konermann, reveal how great leaders drive results through Behavioral Performance — the discipline of building consistent, intentional behaviors that match technical skill.

They dig into what healthy control really looks like, how to turn accountability from fear into fuel, and why behavior — not more hustle — is what separates great teams from average ones.

What You’ll Learn:

• The difference between technical and behavioral performance
• How “healthy control” improves performance without micromanaging
• Why accountability systems fail (and how to rebuild them)
• The daily habits that create measurable results

High-Performance Leaders often jump in to “help” by doing the work themselves. Sounds noble, right? Except it hijacks your team, erodes trust, and turns you into the bottleneck. In this episode, Cathy and Ivan unpack the autopilot habit of “helping by doing,” why it feels so natural (spoiler: dopamine hits), and how to shift into shaping, equipping, and multiplying your team’s performance.

You’ll learn:
• Why “I’ll just take care of that” kills leadership credibility
• How hijacking by doing undermines trust and growth
• Practical phrases and behaviors to stop solving and start shaping

High-Performer habits will sneak up on leaders like you. What once got you promoted or helped you hit targets is now keeping you stuck. In this episode, Cathy and Ivan cut the B.S. and show you how to identify the behaviors that hold you back—and what to do instead.

Here’s what we cover:

• The patterns high performers fall into: autopilot habits, overdoing work, always being the “go-to,” and endless availability.
• Why we do it: past success, patterns our brain loves, and habits that were rewarded—and are now limiting growth.
• The cost: burnout, frustration, and holding your team back from stepping up.

Actionable Takeaways:

1. Identify your limiting habits: what behaviors are holding you back from leading effectively?
2. Determine what makes sense: for you, the person, and the work in this situation.
3. Step back strategically: let others take ownership and stop reinforcing patterns that don’t serve you.
