Successful leaders don't fail because they lack intelligence—they fail because they repeat conversations they've never examined. In this episode, leadership coach and author Chuck Wisner joins host Elke Rubach to unpack why even highly capable people fall into destructive communication patterns under pressure.

From family boardrooms to corporate meeting rooms, Chuck explains how unexamined habits, power dynamics, and fear quietly sabotage trust, clarity, and decision-making.

Together, they explore what it really means to "grow up conversationally," why curiosity beats certainty, and how open-handed conversations can transform leadership, families, and teams.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why smart, self-aware leaders repeat the same communication mistakes
• How power, identity, and fear shape what gets said—and what doesn't
• The four questions that turn conflict into clarity
• What grounded leadership sounds like when the stakes are high

If this conversation resonates, it may be pointing to a conversation you already know you need to have. This episode is your invitation to start it.

If conflict keeps replaying in your head — it's not about what was said, but what was felt.
In this episode of Get Your House in Order, host Elke Rubach sits down with former litigator turned conflict strategist Ursula Taylor to unpack why most approaches to conflict actually make it worse. Drawing from 17 years in high-stakes legal disputes, Ursula explains how conflict is driven by emotion, fear, and unprocessed energy — and how learning to regulate what happens inside you changes everything outside of you.
This conversation reframes conflict as information, not failure — and offers practical tools to stay grounded, clear, and powerful without avoiding hard conversations or burning bridges.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why conflict shows up in the body before it reaches language
• How to release emotional "charge" instead of spreading it
• The difference between boundaries rooted in love and conflict driven by fear

If you want to stop avoiding difficult conversations — and start meeting them with clarity, self-trust, and calm authority — this episode is your invitation to begin.

AI is everywhere — but most people are still asking the wrong questions about it.
In this episode of Get Your House in Order, host Elke Rubach speaks with former lawyer and AI
strategist Lauren Cappell about why artificial intelligence isn't just another productivity tool, but
a structural shift in how work, decisions, and businesses operate. Drawing on her experience
across Big Tech, startups, and professional services, Lauren explains how to adopt AI
thoughtfully — without fear, hype, or surrendering human judgment.
Rather than chasing trends, this conversation focuses on discernment: how to remove noise,
eliminate busywork, and use AI in ways that actually expand your capacity instead of
overwhelming it.
In this episode, you'll hear about:

• Why AI should support human judgment, not replace it
• How professionals can use AI to eliminate busywork and reclaim focus
• The guardrails individuals and organizations need for responsible AI adoption

If you've been curious about AI but unsure how it fits into your life or work, this episode will help
you move forward with clarity, confidence, and intention.
