What if the most underestimated leadership system in your life isn’t your organization—but your closest relationship? In this episode of The Game Changer with Dr. Sharalyn, I sit down with Dr. Robin Buckley to dismantle the myth that love and strategy are opposites. We explore why elite leaders must apply intention, prevention, and strategy at home, not to diminish romance, but to protect it. We unpack her work, including her newest book, and reveal how kindness, clarity, and structure directly shape a leader’s capacity to think clearly, lead sustainably, and perform under pressure.

Research is clear: chronic relationship stress reduces executive decision-making capacity by up to 40% (American Psychological Association), while strong relational bonds increase resilience, performance, and longevity. This conversation is not about turning marriage into a transaction. It’s about protecting romance, power, and purpose before cracks become crises.

In this episode of The Game Changer with Dr. Sharalyn, we sit down with Regina Huber, CEO of Transform Your Performance, global leadership expert, and former Boston Consulting Group leader, to challenge one of leadership’s most persistent assumptions: that mindset alone is enough.

With leadership experience spanning five continents and a career that bridges elite consulting, entrepreneurship, media, and executive coaching, Regina brings a rare global and practical lens to leadership development. In this conversation, she introduces a more complete leadership model—one that integrates mindset, heartset, presence, embodiment, and energy to help leaders stand out with confidence and credibility.

This episode is for leaders who are capable, accomplished, and ambitious—yet sense that something essential is missing from the way leadership is commonly taught.

Most leaders don’t fail because they lack ambition, discipline, or intelligence. They fail because they are unknowingly running outdated internal programs that sabotage clarity, decision-making, and momentum.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Sharalyn Payne sits down with Dr. Alain Salas to dismantle the myths of traditional goal-setting and expose what actually governs performance: mindset architecture, emotional regulation, and subconscious decision loops. This episode is a wake-up call for leaders who are doing “everything right” and still feel stuck, depleted, or frustrated by diminishing returns.

Disruptive leaders are often the ones who see what’s broken long before others are willing to name it, but vision without discipline can quietly create burnout, resistance, and chaos. In this deeply personal and strategic episode, Dr. Sharalyn explores the hidden cost of constant disruption and reveals how elite leaders drive innovation without exhausting their people or destabilizing the system.

If you’re leading change, carrying urgency, and feeling the tension between speed and sustainability, this episode offers clarity, recalibration, and a more powerful way forward.

Healthcare is no longer just a line item—it’s a leadership decision with human, cultural, and economic consequences. In this episode, Dr. Sharalyn Payne sits down with Donovan Pyle to unpack how wasted healthcare dollars quietly drain employee well-being, suppress creativity, and erode organizational performance—and how visionary leaders can reclaim healthcare as a lever for economic empowerment, trust, and retention.

This conversation challenges executives to move beyond cost containment and into strategic stewardship, where benefits design becomes a catalyst for freedom, focus, and sustainable growth.

In this week’s conversation, Kurt Uhlir — accomplished executive, operator, and global speaker — dismantles one of leadership’s oldest misconceptions: that authority is the source of power. In reality, influence multiplies when leaders choose to serve.

Kurt brings decades of experience leading high-growth companies and elite teams. In this episode, he reveals why the leaders who scale organizations — the ones whose teams outperform, innovate, and stay committed — are those who practice strategic service, not performative leadership.

Together, we explore why the organizations built on trust, service, and empowered cultures are the ones that win.

Most leaders don’t fail because they lack vision — they fail because the system they’re leading inside was never built for the change they’re trying to produce. In this episode, Dr. Sharalyn reveals the strategies high-impact leaders use to accelerate change even when culture, politics, and power structures seem immovable. Verified research shows that organizational resistance, not individual capability, is the top barrier to transformation. This episode gives leaders the tools to navigate that resistance with clarity, authority, and influence.

In this episode of The Game Changer with Dr. Sharalyn, Leah Brown—global legal leader, award-winning executive, and strategic advisor—reveals why conflict is the proving ground for influence, innovation, and integrity.

In a world where leaders are pressured to keep the peace, Leah Brown argues the opposite—conflict isn’t the enemy; it’s the ignition point of true leadership.

According to Harvard Business Review, 57% of employees avoid conflict, even when it costs the organization time, trust, and millions in rework. But courage isn’t just a character trait—it’s a competitive advantage. And leaders who master courageous conflict outperform the ones who avoid it.

In this episode of The Game Changer with Dr. Sharalyn, Dr. Sharalyn Payne unpacks the anatomy of a true game changer—those rare leaders who can build the future while honoring the foundation. You’ll learn how to introduce bold innovation without burning out your people or breaking the systems that sustain performance. This is disruption by design, not destruction.
