Leadership Excellence Podcast
Leadership Excellence is a weekly podcast for aspiring and established leaders who want to grow beyond tactics and titles—and develop the habits, mindset, and discipline required for sustained excellence.
Hosted by George Trachilis with Dr. Tom Lawless, the podcast explores the human side of leadership—where purpose, identity, self‑development, and performance intersect. Each episode features real conversations, practical insights, and lived experience from leaders, practitioners, and guests who understand that leadership begins from within.
Drawing from Lean leadership, the Harada Method, continuous improvement, mental fitness, and values‑based leadership, Leadership Excellence goes beyond goal‑setting to focus on daily practice, self‑reliance, and building people who can lead themselves—and others—through change.
Whether you’re leading a team, a business, or yourself, this podcast is designed to help you:
🎙️ New episodes are recorded weekly with a live audience.
📅 Join us live every Wednesday at 4:30 PM CST

Leadership isn’t about position.
It’s about who you become—and how you show up every day.
