Leadership often focuses on strategy, execution, and performance. But what if the real breakthrough starts with the leader themselves?
In this episode of The Next Interview, Doland White sits down with Curtis McCullom, human potential coach and founder of Bespoke Human Potential Coaching. Curtis shares how his L.G.E.T. Mindset — Learn, Grow, Expand, Transform — helps leaders address the internal barriers that limit trust, communication, and team performance.
This conversation is especially relevant for executives who feel pressure to appear strong while quietly carrying the weight of leadership. Curtis explains why pretending everything is fine can slow growth—and why authentic self-leadership builds stronger organizations.
Key insights leaders will take away:
• Why leadership transformation starts with fixing internal belief systems
• How subconscious habits drive 95% of leadership behavior
• The power of asking one more question to deepen trust and communication
