The Questions That Build Better Leaders

 

In this special Q&A episode of the MPWR Podcast, Eric and Dawn pull back the curtain on the real-world pressures leaders are facing today—and the practical tools they use to stay grounded, focused, and effective. This conversation goes deeper than the typical leadership advice. It's raw, honest, and rooted in lived experience from decades of coaching high-performing executives, entrepreneurs, and teams.

Across fast-moving industries and unpredictable environments, leaders everywhere are asking the same urgent questions:

How do I lead well when the weight feels heavy? How do I stay emotionally regulated? How do I stay focused when overwhelm becomes the default?

Eric and Dawn unpack these tensions head-on, offering insight into leadership psychology, personal development rhythms, and the inner work required to stay clear-minded under pressure. They get real about the habits, practices, and mindset shifts that actually move the needle in busy seasons—especially when clarity is low and stakes are high.

One of the most powerful moments of the episode comes when Eric highlights the responsibility leaders hold for their own development:

"You have to carve out time to focus… because the only person you're letting down when you don't do it is yourself."

From journaling for strategic clarity, to learning how to break unconscious emotional patterns, to navigating team friction with composure, this episode gives listeners both macro-level frameworks and micro-level tools to build sustainable success. Eric and Dawn also reveal the questions they ask themselves weekly—questions designed to create self-awareness, develop consistent habits, and strengthen personal leadership capacity.

 

This episode is a must-listen for:

• C-suite leaders who want to model emotional intelligence

• Entrepreneurs navigating rapid change

• Managers building healthier high-performance cultures

• Anyone wanting to strengthen their mental clarity and confidence

• Individuals committed to personal and professional growth

Eric has released a new book that takes this conversation even further:

👉 Upgrade Your Leadership: 8 Foundational Tools to Overcome Drama, Build Trust, and Thrive Under Pressure

 

This book is more than a leadership manual; it's a blueprint for transformation. Eric shows how to:

• Identify the drama cycles that drain energy and derail teams.

• Build trust intentionally rather than assuming it will emerge on its own.

• Thrive under pressure by upgrading the internal system that drives every leadership decision.

• And yes—set boundaries that strengthen leadership rather than weaken it.
