In this Inner Light episode, we sit down with executive coach Terence Davy to unpack what high performance really looks like in a world of rapid change, AI disruption, and shrinking budgets. Terence shares how grinding through six to seven day work weeks and twelve hour days landed him in the hospital with a stress related illness. That wake up call pushed him to design what he now calls integrated leadership. A practical method for delivering exceptional business results without destroying your health, your relationships, or your values.
We dig into the biggest misconceptions leaders have about performance, why most people use technical solutions for adaptive problems, and how hidden commitments quietly sabotage your goals around delegation, visibility, and personal brand. If you are a mission driven founder, executive, or team lead, this conversation will challenge how you think about ambition, capacity, and emotional sustainability at work.
About the Guest:
Terence Davy is an executive coach who has led high growth, high pressure teams from the inside before supporting mission driven leaders from the outside. His work blends real world operational experience with research backed psychology frameworks like the immunity to change process. Terence specializes in helping founders and executives deliver ambitious results while staying in integrity with their values, protecting their health, and building psychologically safe, adaptable teams.
Key Takeaways:
-
High performers often assume the solution is to push harder and work longer. Terence highlights that real growth comes from intentional skill development, reflection, and reviewing your performance against your goals.
-
There is a crucial difference between technical challenges with clear steps and adaptive challenges that demand new beliefs, deeper self awareness, and emotional flexibility. Most leadership problems are adaptive, not technical.
-
Hidden commitments can quietly block change. One client believed “if you really provide value, you should not need to promote yourself,” which sabotaged their consistency with personal branding and visibility online.
-
Stress related health crises are common at senior levels. Terence shares his own hospitalization story and reveals how many C level leaders experience severe health scares yet never change their behaviour afterward.
-
Mission driven leaders struggle to charge fairly, especially when serving under resourced communities. Terence reframes this. If your business is not sustainable, your long term impact shrinks, not grows.
-
Integrated leadership is about alignment and balance. Your inner values, outer behaviour, and business goals must sync so people experience you as steady, trustworthy, and in integrity.
-
Reflection and self inquiry are non negotiable. Regularly asking “Is what I am doing aligned with my goals and values, and how am I contributing to what is present in my life?” keeps you out of autopilot burnout.
