The Game of Ten: Why High Performers Run on Outdated Code | Steve Barton
Shownotes
Most leaders don't have a strategy problem. They have a noise problem.
Executive coach Steve Barton spent 30 years as a florist, grew his business from roughly $200K to $2M serving high-end destination weddings in Maine, and then had an experience 34 years ago that changed how he understood human potential. Today he coaches founders, CEOs and high performers with The Game of Ten®, a registered coaching process built to help leaders let go of fear, self-doubt, guilt and shame and act from clarity instead of pressure.
In this conversation, Arun and Steve explore:
- Why most people solve today's problems with yesterday's data, and what that costs leaders
- The six phrases Steve uses to quiet a racing mind, done live on the show
- The uncomfortable question every unhappy "successful" leader should ask themselves
- Why calling yourself an 8 out of 10 may be a form of arrogance
- What a good coach actually does (hint: accountability, not answers)
- Why intuition and creativity are still the human edge, even as AI gets better at logic
- Ben Franklin's trust-building habit and what it teaches about business relationships
If you lead a team, run a company, or feel like your mind never switches off, this episode offers a different way to think about performance.
