Some leaders haven’t resigned on paper, but they’ve already resigned in their hearts. The truth? You can’t lead effectively when your mind and spirit have already checked out.

In this milestone 800th episode, Denis shares a deeply personal reflection on finding and keeping your leadership voice. From nearly losing his own voice to helping thousands of leaders around the world strengthen theirs, Denis explores a challenge too many leaders face today: “quit and stay.”

Whether it’s burnout, frustration, or loss of purpose, disengaged leadership quietly drains energy from teams and organizations. But there’s a way forward, and it starts with honest self-reflection, courageous conversations, and renewed clarity.

This episode will help you recognize when disengagement is creeping in, reignite your purpose, and lead with conviction once again.

Tune in and rediscover the power of your leadership voice. You’ll learn how to re-engage with purpose, reignite your passion, and show up as the leader your team deserves. And if this message sparks something in you, share it with another leader who’s ready to rise again.
