OM DENNE EPISODE
What if the reason you feel exhausted, disconnected, or stuck... isn't because you need a better strategy-but because something deeper is out of alignment?
In this powerful conversation, Gabriela sits down with leadership expert Greg DeKoker to challenge one of the biggest myths in high performance:
👉 That success is built on pressure, sacrifice, and discipline alone.
Instead, Greg introduces a radically different perspective:
Joy is not a reward. It's the fuel.
This episode will shift how you think about leadership, relationships, and what it truly takes to build a life-and career-without regrets.
🔥 What You'll Learn:
- Why people don't quit jobs-they quit leaders and cultures
- The difference between gratification vs. relational joy (this will change how you see success)
- Why joy is the most underutilized and renewable asset in any organization
- How your relationship patterns at home show up at work
- The truth about alignment-and why strategy alone can't fix misalignment
How to create environments where people feel:
- Safe
- Seen
- Heard
- Valued
