    Podcast Show Notes: Trevor McGregor – From Rock Bottom to Quantum Leaps in Business and Life

    Episode Overview In this transformative episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael D. Levitt welcomes Trevor McGregor, a globally recognized High Performance Master Coach, real estate investor, and former top Tony Robbins coach. With over 45,000 individual coaching sessions and two decades of empowering entrepreneurs and executives, Trevor shares how he turned personal devastation into a multi-million-dollar mission of helping others achieve freedom and fulfillment.

    From Failure to Freedom Trevor’s journey began with losing everything—his savings, a six-figure family loan, and nearly his marriage—after a failed real estate investment. From that rock bottom, he rebuilt his life and business, developing the resilience that would become the foundation of his coaching philosophy. Personally selected by Tony Robbins as one of his top business coaches, Trevor spent five years mastering the art of transformation, earning what he calls his “Black Belt in Coaching.”

  • Pete Behrens on Adapting Leadership in Turbulent Times

    Adapting Leadership in Turbulent Times

    In this episode, Michael and Pete explore what leadership really requires in an era defined by fatigue, disruption, and constant change. They examine how pressures at home, the aftershocks of COVID, and the acceleration of AI are compounding exhaustion for leaders at every level. Pete describes today’s environment as a relentless “hailstorm” of forces outside any leader’s control, while Michael emphasizes that clarity around mission, vision, and values is no longer optional. It is the stabilizing force leaders must return to when everything else feels uncertain.

    Leadership Clarity and Workplace Culture

    Michael outlines why leadership clarity directly impacts workplace culture, engagement, and performance. Organizations that successfully navigated the pandemic and economic volatility have a unique opportunity to reduce fear and restore confidence across their teams. Using a familiar San Diego fog analogy, Michael explains how experienced leaders move forward not by guessing, but by relying on judgment, shared wisdom, and deliberate next steps, even when visibility is limited.

    Leading Through Fog and Uncertainty

    Pete shares the thinking behind his book on leading in foggy conditions, shaped by more than 30 years in the technology sector. His work challenges outdated leadership models and speaks directly to younger leaders navigating ambiguity for the first time, as well as seasoned leaders who may be overly attached to certainty. At its core, the book advocates for a more humane, respectful, and grounded approach to leadership that acknowledges uncertainty rather than denying it.

    Balancing Expertise and Fresh Perspective

    Michael reflects on a formative experience at Daimler-Benz, where introducing structured debriefs and outside perspectives increased client capacity by 20 percent without adding staff. The lesson was clear: too much expertise can create rigidity. Pete builds on this with his concept of the “elusive peak,” where leaders risk becoming trapped by what they already know. Together, they unpack how psychological safety and openness allow teams to challenge assumptions, surface better ideas, and improve outcomes.

    Humility, Teamwork, and Modern Leadership

    The conversation closes with a candid discussion on humility and vulnerability. Pete reinforces that leadership is a team sport, especially in uncertain conditions. Through his work with Agile Leadership Journey, he helps leaders tap into the collective intelligence already inside their organizations. The takeaway is simple but demanding: effective leadership today requires courage, curiosity, and the willingness to lead with others, not above them.

  • Deep Dive: Leading Change with Purpose: From Vision to Everyday Execution

    Deep Dive: Leading Change with Purpose: From Vision to Everyday Execution
    Jan 30 2026
    In this episode, we take a leadership journey through the four essential pillars of successful organizational change: Vision, Emotional Intelligence, Decisiveness and Openness. Drawing from the recent article How to Successfully Lead Organizational Change, we explore how every leader – whether founder, C-suite executive or emerging internal change champion – can step into their role with clarity, confidence, and humanity. Expect concrete take-aways, real-world application and reflection prompts for your next big change initiative. Key Take-aways Vision is non-negotiable Change without a clear destination is like driving in the fog; your team will feel lost and unmotivated. (Breakfast Leadership Network) As the article states: “If you don’t have a vision, you will also find it very difficult to motivate and lead your team.” (Breakfast Leadership Network) In practice: create a vivid picture of the “after-state” for your organization and share that widely. Emotional intelligence is the hidden accelerator Recognizing how your people are feeling—and why—is vital. (Breakfast Leadership Network) Change triggers uncertainty, fear, resistance. As the article reminds, being tuned in helps you support team members effectively. Practical tip: map out the emotional journey your team might take during the change. Pre-empt fears and build empathy early. Decisiveness keeps momentum alive In times of change, leadership vacillation kills progress. The article highlights that your team looks to you to “take the reins.” (Breakfast Leadership Network) It’s not about making everything perfect—rather, about making the right call, owning it, and moving forward. Consider installing a decision framework: how will you determine when to act vs. when to pause and reflect. Openness builds trust and fuels participation Transparency matters more when things are shifting. The article says that being “open with your teams” is “especially important.” (Breakfast Leadership Network) Communicating the “why,” the “how,” and the “what’s next” helps reduce fear and invites buy-in rather than resistance. Real-world practice: hold regular “change check-ins” where people can surface concerns, ask questions, and feel heard. Discussion Questions for Your Team: Reflect on a major change you led (or were part of). How clear was the vision? How did that shape the outcome? How do you as a leader stay emotionally tuned in during change—what practices help you sense team mood and response? In your experience, where do leaders most often hesitate during change? What tends to cause that hesitation and how can it be mitigated? What transparency looks like in your organization? Are you striking the right balance between “too little” and “too much” communication? Looking ahead: in your next organizational change initiative, which of these four pillars deserves most of your attention—and what will be your first action step? Action Steps for Listeners Grab a blank sheet and map your current or upcoming change initiative using the four pillars: Vision, Emotions, Decisiveness, Openness. Identify one thing you are not doing now (or could do better) in each pillar—and pick one pillar to focus on this week. Schedule a “change check-in” with your team where you openly share the vision, invite questions, and surface emotional reactions. Commit to a decision-cadence: set a fixed date (within next two weeks) when you will make a key change decision and communicate it, rather than letting it linger. Who Should Listen Founders, CEOs, senior leaders facing a significant organizational change (e.g., pivot, restructure, culture shift) HR, change-management and OD professionals charged with leading or supporting change efforts Emerging leaders looking to step into change-leadership roles and build their competence in guiding transitions Anyone interested in the human side of change—how emotions, trust and clarity influence outcomes.

Final Thought Change is inevitable—but successful change doesn’t just “happen.” It is led. As the article reminds us, it takes a visible vision, emotional attunement, bold decisions and open communication. If you lean into these four pillars, you’ll lead not just a transition, but a transformation.
