Host: Nicole Donnelly
Guest: Sherry Yellin – Leadership Coach, Author, and Founder of The Yellin Group

In this inspiring episode, Nicole sits down with Dr. Sherry Yellin, founder of The Yellin Group, to explore the fascinating intersection of neuroscience, leadership, and courage. With over two decades of experience helping leaders and teams unlock high performance, Sherry shares insights from her upcoming book, The Science of High-Performance Leadership, revealing how understanding how the brain learns under threat and uncertainty can transform the way we lead and live.

Together, Sherry and Nicole unpack:

• How to recognize when your brain is in “threat mode” — and practical ways to shift back into clarity and calm.
• The surprising truth about why high performers crave chaos (and how to find freedom from it).
• Why uncertainty isn’t the enemy — it’s an invitation to “eat the mystery.”
• The essential role of self-awareness and belief clean-outs in personal growth and leadership.
• How to find your courage companion — the mentor or coach who helps you hold belief when your own falters.
• Why journaling is “strength training for the mind” and one of the most powerful tools for building clarity.

Sherry also gives listeners a sneak peek into her upcoming book, The Science of High-Performance Leadership. You can learn more and join her launch community here.
