What happens when leadership gets real? When culture is under fire, the stakes are high, and failure isn’t an option?
In this episode of The Chief Psycho Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Dave Striegel — a sport psychologist and performance coach with over 25 years of experience working across the most pressure-filled environments imaginable. His clients include professional athletes (PGA, LPGA, NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, and U.S. Ski Team), Fortune 500 executives, FBI hostage teams, military special forces, and yes—dentists and doctors leading high-stakes practices.
Together, we dig into:
- Why most leadership advice fails when the pressure hits
- How to build culture that strengthens under stress
- The psychology behind high-performing teams and resilient leadership
- Lessons healthcare leaders can borrow from elite athletes and spec ops
This isn’t theory. This is leadership science, pressure-tested.
Alright, podcasters—that’s a wrap on this episode of The Chief Psycho Podcast! If you got something out of today’s convo, do me a favor—share it, tag us, and keep the conversation going.
Remember, entrepreneurship isn’t just about the grind—it’s about the growth. Stay bold, stay human, and keep pushing the limits.
Catch you next time. Until then—keep it psycho.
