Transformational Leadership: From the Insight Out
Transformational Leadership: From the Insight Out is for leaders navigating the gap between where their organizations are and where they know they could be. Hosted by Steve Chua and Pete Cafarchio, the show explores the inner dynamics of leadership—and how they shape culture, performance, and sustainable growth. Each episode delivers practical insights leaders can apply to move beyond frustration, overwhelm, and stagnation, and build organizations that thrive from the inside out. Because lasting change doesn’t start with systems—it starts with leaders.

Triggering Your Triggers (Part 1)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Transformation Tip: “ Your triggers are the fruit of a much deeper root!” Steve Chua
Concept(s)
- Triggers are created by significant events that leave scars, wounds, or compartments of pain, shame, insecurity, terror, panic
- A trigger sends a message to a memory(ies) that leaves us vulnerable and unprotected and causes us to behave in self-protective ways
- The four F’s
- Triggers can cause us to act irrationally or cause us to overreact.
- Triggers can come from our wounded child.
We go over practical tips on how to identify trauma and how to start processing these events!
Transformation Application: Make a list of up to 3 triggers you think you might have. If you can’t think of any, ask a partner or close friend to help you identify them.
