Your biggest business problem probably is not a business problem at all.

That is the reframe my guest, Dr. Patty Ann Tublin, has built an entire career around.

Dr. Patty Ann is a clinical psychologist who does high-level executive and business coaching for entrepreneurs, founders, and C-suite leaders. Her core belief is that all success is predicated upon the ability to create, nurture, and sustain healthy relationships. As she puts it, business problems are rarely business problems. They are relationship problems that show up as business problems.

She shared the story of a Silicon Valley app company that should have been crushing it during COVID and was not. The processes were fine. The real issue was that the head engineer and the head salesperson despised each other, and that mistrust trickled down through the entire organization.

In this Get Yourself Optimized episode, Dr. Patty Ann breaks down:

✅ Why nothing changes until the unspoken is spoken

✅ How your internal reality quietly overrides your external results

✅ Why AI does not create incompetence or weak leadership, but it will reveal it

✅ How to rebuild trust after it has been broken, in business and at home

✅ Why taking responsibility for your role in any conflict (even just 1 percent) changes everything

This is not about working harder. It is about getting honest about the human side of success. What unspoken truth in your business or your relationships is waiting to be said out loud? The show notes, including the transcript and checklist to this episode, are at getyourselfoptimized.com/565
