  • How Communication and Storytelling Shape Leadership Performance | Danny Brassell, PhD
    Jan 8 2026

    Communication is behavior in action—and most leadership problems start there. In this episode of Behavioral Profit, Debbie Longo talks with Danny Brassell, PhD, about how storytelling, clarity, and intentional language directly affect performance, engagement, and leadership effectiveness.

    Rather than focusing on motivation or surface-level tactics, this conversation looks at the behavioral side of communication: why leaders say one thing but teams hear another, how habits of language form culture, and what leaders must change if they want consistent results.

    A practical, grounded discussion for leaders who want fewer breakdowns and more follow-through.

  • AI, Leadership Behavior, and Why People Still Drive Performance | Stephanie Sylvestre
    Dec 28 2025

    In this episode of Behavioral Profit, Debbie Longo sits down with AI leadership expert Stephanie Sylvestre to explore how artificial intelligence is changing the workplace—and why human behavior remains the most powerful driver of results.

    Stephanie explains how AI works best when leaders focus on empowering people rather than eliminating roles. The discussion highlights the behavioral skills that matter most as AI evolves, including resilience, creativity, resourcefulness, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Together, they examine how leadership mindset, intent, and behavior determine whether AI becomes a threat or a catalyst for growth.

    This conversation offers practical insight for leaders who want to embrace AI without losing the human side of performance, culture, and trust.

  • Leadership Is a Choice: Mindset, Trust, and Growth with Ron Reich
    Dec 20 2025

    In this episode of Behavioral Profit, Executive Behavioral Coach Debbie Longo sits down with leadership expert Ron Reich, who brings more than 30 years of experience developing leaders from the frontline to the C-suite. Together they unpack the real behavioral patterns that hold leaders back: fear of letting go, trying to have all the answers, and shutting down independent thinking. Ron shares why “everything is a choice,” how language like “I have to” quietly increases stress, and why psychological safety and relationship-driven leadership are non-negotiable if you want a healthy culture.

    Debbie brings a mindset lens to the conversation, challenging listeners to look honestly at whether they’re truly willing to grow or just hoping things get better while repeating the same behaviors. They explore how internal shifts, personal responsibility, and being in control of your mind—not the other way around—translate into better decisions, stronger teams, and real performance improvement. If you’re a supervisor, manager, or executive who says you want change but resists it in practice, this conversation will push you to choose your direction on purpose.

  • Behavior Drives Leadership, Culture, and Profit | No Prep Needed
    Dec 18 2025

    In this live episode of No Prep Needed, host Adrienne Barker, MAS speaks with guest Debbie Longo, Executive Behavioral Coach, about the real drivers behind business performance, workplace culture, and leadership effectiveness.

    Debbie explains why most organizational problems are not caused by the economy, the market, or external pressure—but by internal behavior patterns that go unaddressed at the leadership level. The conversation explores controlling management styles, inconsistent leadership, toxic workplace dynamics, employee burnout, and how these behaviors quietly erode morale, retention, and profitability.

    Drawing on over 25 years of experience in executive and behavioral coaching, Debbie shares how changing behavior at the top creates measurable improvements across teams, company culture, and even life outside of work. This is an unscripted, real-time discussion focused on awareness, accountability, and practical change—without preparation, pitches, or rehearsed answers.
