What actually creates a high-performing culture—and what quietly destroys it?

In this episode of CLARATY in Action, Clara sits down with Lori and Eric Spencer, hosts of The Corporate Bartender, to unpack what it really takes to build a dynamic, healthy, and high-performing workplace culture—without fluff or corporate buzzwords.

The conversation dives into why creating psychological safety isn’t about lowering standards—it’s about raising performance. Lori and Eric share how leaders can make things “safe” in a way that encourages ownership, honest conversations, and accountability—not complacency.

You’ll hear practical insights on:

• What “safe” actually means in a high-expectation culture
• How trust and clarity drive engagement and performance
• Why disengaged teams aren’t a motivation problem—they’re a leadership problem
• Simple, human ways to create connection without forcing culture

If you’re a leader who wants a team that’s engaged, resilient, and aligned—this episode will challenge how you think about culture and give you tangible ways to strengthen it.

Because culture isn’t what you say—it’s what your people experience every day.

Confidence is not something you’re born with.
And it’s definitely not about being the loudest voice in the room.

In this episode of CLARATY in Action, Clara Capano is joined by Angela Lewis for a powerful, honest conversation about how confidence is built, strengthened, and leveraged—especially in leadership.

If you’re a high-performing leader, executive, HR professional, or business owner who looks confident on the outside but still second-guesses decisions, avoids hard conversations, or hesitates to take bold action, this episode is for you.

Together, Clara and Angela break down:

• Why confidence is a learned skill, not a personality trait
• How confidence directly impacts decision-making, communication, and presence
• The subtle ways lack of confidence shows up in leadership (even for experienced professionals)
• Why confidence is foundational to strong culture, trust, and influence
• Practical ways leaders can build internal confidence that lasts, not situational or borrowed confidence

This conversation goes beyond motivation. It’s about self-leadership, clarity, and owning your role without waiting for permission or external validation.

Because here’s the truth:
When leaders build confidence, they lead better.
They communicate more clearly.
They make stronger decisions.
And they create teams that trust, follow, and perform.

If you’re ready to stop playing small, stop over-preparing, and start leading with conviction—this episode will challenge you to rethink what confidence really is and how to strengthen it.

In this episode of CLARATY in Action, Clara sits down with Karissa Adkins, founder of the Alpha Queen movement, to challenge the deeply ingrained myths that hold women back from fully rising into leadership.

This conversation invites women to reclaim internal authority, lead themselves first, and redefine success on their own terms. Karissa also shares a practical mindset tool, the Thought Swapper, to help women begin rewriting the stories that shape their decisions, confidence, and impact.

Resilience gets thrown around a lot—but what does it actually mean, and how do you build it when life and business knock you off course?

In this week’s CLARATY in Action, I’m joined by Pam Cass for a powerful, real conversation about resilience—what it is, what it isn’t, and why it’s not about “being tough” or pretending everything is fine.

• How to maintain resilience before burnout hits
• What to do when you experience a setback and feel stuck, discouraged, or depleted
• Practical ways to reset your mindset, rebuild momentum, and move forward with clarity

If you’ve been feeling worn down, frustrated, or questioning your next step, this episode will help you pause, reset, and remember that resilience is a skill—and you can strengthen it.

🎯 Because clarity doesn’t come from pushing harder. It comes from knowing how to rise again—on purpose.

You cannot build real success by doing everything yourself—and yet, that’s exactly where so many leaders get stuck.

In this episode of CLARATY in Action, we’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood (and avoided) leadership skills: delegation.

I’m joined by Maureen Doss, Founder of Virtual Workhourse, a VA services company that helps business owners and leaders reclaim their time, focus on what matters most, and scale without burning out.

Together, we dive into:

• How to know when it’s time to delegate (and the warning signs you’re ignoring)
• The hidden costs of not delegating—to your business, energy, and leadership
• How to identify what to delegate vs. what to keep
• How to find the right person so delegation actually works
• Why delegation isn’t about giving up control—it’s about gaining clarity and momentum

If you’re overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in the weeds of your business or role, this conversation will help you shift from doing everything to leading intentionally.

Delegation isn’t a luxury.
It’s a leadership skill—and a growth strategy.

This week on ClaraTY in Action, we’re getting real about leadership—because the old way of leading just isn’t cutting it anymore. Command-and-control? Outdated. Hoping people will “figure it out”? Done. Pretending empathy is optional? Not today.

In this episode, I sit down with leadership expert Laurie Maddalena to break down what Elevated Leadership truly looks like in 2025 and beyond. Spoiler: it’s not about throwing out the old playbook… it’s about amplifying it.

We talk about how today’s leaders must blend clarity with compassion, structure with flexibility, and accountability with humanity. Laurie shares how leaders can take foundational leadership principles—communication, consistency, vision—and elevate them with modern skills like emotional intelligence, psychological safety, and real, unfiltered connection.

If you want to build a high-performing AND healthy culture, if you’re tired of outdated leadership tactics that burn people out, and if you’re ready to elevate your impact—this episode is your blueprint.

Get ready to lead with heart. Lead with intention. Lead with clarity.
Because elevated leadership isn’t a trend—it’s the new standard.

If you’ve ever found yourself holding back, dimming your light, or shrinking because it felt safer than being seen — this episode is for you.

This week on CLARATY in Action, I sit down with Luann Horobin, a neuroscience-based executive coach who has spent over two decades helping high performers break through mental barriers, rewrite limiting narratives, and step boldly into who they’re meant to be.

We go deep into the psychology of self-sabotage, the hidden cost of playing small, and how the language we use — with ourselves and others — becomes a blueprint for either our limits or our evolution.

Luann brings clarity (no pun intended…but kind of) to how our brain protects us through patterns of fear, doubt, and hesitation — and how vulnerability is not weakness, but the bridge to growth, connection, confidence, and sustainable success.

This episode will challenge the stories you’ve been repeating, call out the subtle ways you are keeping yourself “safe” instead of successful, and give you practical neuroscience-backed tools to expand what you believe is possible.

Whether you're a leader, entrepreneur, executive, or someone who knows you’re capable of more — this conversation will help you step out of hiding and into aligned impact.

🔑 Key themes inside this episode:

• How subtle language reveals (and reinforces) fear
• The neuroscience of stepping into growth
• What really happens when we finally stop playing small
• Vulnerability as the catalyst for confidence and transformation
• Practical mindset shifts to unlock bold leadership and action

This isn’t motivation.
It’s activation.

👉 If you’re ready to lead bigger, grow braver, and finally stop abandoning your own potential — press play.

Meet LUANN HOROBIN:

Luann Horobin is an Executive Coach and NeuroMindset Strategist with more than 20 years of experience working with business leaders, high performers, and executives. Through thousands of hours of coaching and field-testing neuroscience-backed methods, she developed a proven process that helps individuals create meaningful, lasting change — without simply working harder.

Inspired by her own life and career transitions, Luann built a deep understanding of the power of mindset and what it takes to move from limitation to expansion. Her work led to the creation of NeuroGamechangers, a transformational methodology designed to help leaders elevate performance, build confidence, and expand what’s possible in both life and business.
