Leaders at every level feel the crush of constant demands, overflowing calendars, and the pressure to push harder. The problem isn't a lack of ambition—it's a lack of presence. When you're trapped in chronic fight-or-flight mode, judgment erodes, relationships become purely transactional, and the very behaviors that made you successful start to hold you and your team back.This episode delivers a practical blueprint for breaking that cycle. Executive coach and author Scott Eblin joins Simon to unpack what genuine leadership presence actually requires: not more hours, but the ability to strategically disengage and renew. Eblin introduces his core definition of mindfulness as awareness plus intention, and walks through the Three Types of Engagement (transient, transactional, transformational)—a framework for diagnosing where your attention actually goes during interactions. The conversation also explores the Life GPS, a one-page planning system built on three questions: How are you at your best? What routines support that? What outcomes do you expect to see?Rather than offering more to-do list items, the episode shows that the most powerful lever for overwhelmed leaders is often the simplest: three deep belly breaths to activate the parasympathetic nervous system before the next meeting. By shifting from being the "go-to person" to the leader who builds a team of go-to people, executives can scale their impact without scaling their stress.HighlightsReclaim attention by asking two questions before every meeting: What am I trying to do here? and How do I need to show up?Shift from "go-to person" to leader who builds a team of go-to people—letting go multiplies impact, not diminishes it.Use three cycles of deep belly breathing between meetings to activate the parasympathetic response and reset clarity.Diagnose your engagement style using the three types: transient, transactional, and transformational—over-indexing on transactional leaves value on the table.Create a one-page Life GPS with three inputs: your best-self characteristics, supporting routines, and expected outcomes across work, home, and community.Important Concepts and FrameworksMindfulness = Awareness + Intention — Awareness of external triggers and internal reactions, paired with the intention to choose what to do (or not do) next.Three Types of Engagement0: Transient (mind elsewhere), Transactional (getting things done), Transformational (connecting to learn and be present). Leaders need to toggle between transactional and transformational.Life GPS (Goals, Practices, Systems) — A one-page planning framework developed by Scott and Diane Eblin, built on three questions: (1) How are you when you're at your best? (2) What routines in physical, mental, relational, and spiritual domains support that? (3) What outcomes do you expect in home, work, and community life?Go-to Person Paradox — The behavior that gets you promoted (being the go-to person) eventually becomes the barrier to scaling your leadership. The shift required is emotional (letting go), not just cognitive (picking up).Dance Floor vs. Balcony — From Heifetz and Linsky's Adaptive Leadership. Leaders must alternate between being in the action (dance floor) and seeing the bigger picture (balcony).Gandhi's Insight on Action — "In regard to every action, one must know the result that is expected to follow." Focus on the expected outcome, not attachment to a specific result.Tools & Resources MentionedLife GPS Worksheet — Free one-page self-planning tool to define your best self, supporting routines, and expected outcomes. | https://eblingroup.com"The Next Level: What Insiders Know About Executive Success" (3rd Edition) — Scott Eblin's book on behaviors and mindsets to pick up and let go of when moving into bigger roles."Overworked and Overwhelmed: The Mindfulness Alternative" — Scott Eblin's book on managing overload through mindfulness practices."The Power of Full Engagement" — Book by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz on managing energy, not time, with corporate athlete principles."The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" — Stephen Covey's classic framework that inspired the Life GPS."Orbital" — Novel by Samantha Harvey about astronauts orbiting Earth; recommended for contemplative reading."Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" — Classic Zen text by Shunryu Suzuki."The Complete Book of Running" — Jim Fixx's running guide that shaped Scott's early mindset of pushing through pain.Calls to ActionBefore your next meeting, pause for three cycles of deep belly breathing to reset your nervous system.Ask yourself two questions before every interaction: What outcome am I trying to create? and How do I need to show up to make that outcome more likely?Identify one routine you're holding onto that made you successful in the past but now keeps you from scaling your impact—and experiment with letting it go this week.Schedule a half-day retreat with yourself (or with a partner) to draft ...
