Most People Know the Hard Call They Need to Make - and Don't

What if the hardest decision you need to make is one you already know you need to make, but keep avoiding? In this episode, Sean sits down with Arielle Lechner, executive coach and founder of NPO, to explore the gap between knowing what needs to change and actually doing something about it. You'll hear why most leaders are trapped by the tension between urgent and important work, keeping them reactive instead of strategic, and why that same pattern is causing them to fall dangerously behind on AI adoption. Arielle also shares a practical approach some companies are using to hold their teams accountable to real AI implementation, not just vague experimentation, but building something tangible and presenting it to the group. If you've been telling yourself you'll get to the hard call later, this conversation might be the nudge you've been waiting for.
