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.
