UH-OH Conversations with Cohesive Leaders
The UH-OH That Sparked a Movement
What happens when everything you’ve built—your reputation, your funding, your credibility—is rooted in the wrong story?
Dr. Deborah Heiser, founder of The Mentor Project and author of The Mentorship Edge, joins Dr. Troy Hall and Ben-Jamin Toy to share the UH-OH moment that completely changed her career.
As a young researcher in the field of aging, Deborah realized she was studying only one side of the coin—frailty, decline, and disease—without ever asking what we have to look forward to as we age. That revelation forced her to pivot her entire professional path, challenging the status quo and even losing support from peers along the way.
This candid conversation digs into the courage it takes to disappoint others, the power of choosing respect over likability, and why leaders must be kind, not just nice.
If you’ve ever faced a moment that made you question everything you thought you knew, this episode is your roadmap for turning UH-OH into alignment, growth, and purpose.
