In this episode of Getting to Aha! , host Darshan Mehta speaks with Jamie Ramsden, a former CEO turned executive coach, about the transformative power of self-awareness in leadership. Jamie explains why accepting reality as it is, not as we wish it to be, is the foundation of meaningful change. He shares how intentionality, emotional intelligence, and respectful truth-telling can unlock growth at every level of an organization. The conversation explores how slowing down sharpens pattern recognition, how the subconscious aids decision-making, and why great leaders focus on developing others, creating a lasting impact that extends far beyond their tenure.
