Do you ever feel like you’re doing everything “right,” but somehow you keep ending up in the same frustrating patterns? The meetings change, the projects change, even the people change…but the result feels way too familiar. If you’ve secretly wondered, “Maybe I’m the problem. Maybe I’m broken,” this conversation is for you.

In this episode, OD practitioner and leadership coach Roger Kastner shares how simple frameworks can help leaders, coaches, and teams finally break the cycle without burning out or blowing everything up. When you see your work differently, you don’t just get clarity, you get excited again about what’s possible. You’ll learn how to create more flow at work, even if your organization is stuck in “this is how we’ve always done it.”

Roger is interviewed by guest host April McCormick, and together they unpack why so many leaders feel stuck at work and trapped in status quo stories. They explore practical leadership frameworks you can apply immediately to shift your mindset, bring your team into better alignment, and start changing results without waiting for permission from “the top.” This isn’t theory, it’s about usable tools that fit on a napkin and live in real conversations.

If you’re a people leader, coach, or organizational development practitioner that feels stuck, this is designed for you. You’re successful on paper, but inside you might feel a mix of career stagnation, quiet burnout, and a nagging sense that you’re meant to lead differently. This episode will help you see that you’re not broken: the old pattern is. We’ll show you how a few simple shifts in how you frame work can unlock fresh energy and direction.

In this episode, Roger answers the following questions:
➡️ How do I use a framework?
➡️ What frameworks are used in business and problem solving?
➡️ How do I create a framework?
➡️ What does "framework" mean in simple terms?
