The H2 Leadership Podcast

Misalignment sneaks up slowly—and it’s expensive. When your life, work, or team drifts out of alignment, you start feeling it: fatigue, frustration, disconnection, and eventually burnout. In this episode, Alan unpacks how to spot misalignment early and realign your wiring, your purpose, and your team before things break down.

You’ll hear:

• The story of a coaching client who ignored the “alignment rumble” too long

• Why wiring, purpose, and team are the three biggest alignment zones

• How to use the Working Genius Assessment to clarify your design

• The Drains & Fills exercise to reclaim energy and focus

• A simple Pacing Check to make sure your speed matches your team’s capacity

• Two reflection questions to realign your work this week

“You will hit potholes. You will need realignment. It’s not if—it’s when.”

Reflection Questions

1. How can you align your work more closely to your wiring?

2. What change can you make to align more closely with your team?
