Leila Entezam on Emotional Mastery: The Neuroscience Behind Peak Performance

Most elite leaders swear by data—but ignore the data their own bodies generate. Neuro-emotional performance coach Leila Entezam joins host Andreas Pettersson to prove that feelings are the missing metric at the top.

• Challenge → High-stakes CEOs, founders, and athletes hit a wall: detachment, compartmentalization, and a nagging sense of emptiness despite record-breaking results.
• Adaptation → Leila blends neuroscience, psychology, and EQ to show why the brain processes information emotion-first. By slowing down, cultivating somatic awareness, and seeing emotions as a critical dataset, high performers unlock deeper decision-making, richer connections, and sustainable momentum.
• Success → Clients trade burnout for balance, rebuild their most intimate relationships, and still smash business goals. Leila’s own four-year book journey—The Heart of Peak Performance: Emotional Mastery for High-Performing Men—demonstrates the payoff of purpose-driven persistence.

🔥 60-Second Hot Seat: Leila’s personal re-centering cue—remembering that time is precious and choosing every minute with intention.

Listen in to learn why “what got you here won’t get you there” unless you master the emotional game.
