A podcast about meaningful conversations at work, at home and with yourself!
I am Steve Wright, a former technical support and IT manager with nearly 30 years of work experience across the UK and the US.
I have also been involved in personal development for over 20 years, working with Tony Robbins and Joseph McClendon III. I am now a workplace coach bringing coaching skills to managers to empower and engage their teams.
This podcast is an opportunity to share coaching insights, learn directly from coaches and managers in the field, and have a bit of fun!
Fun fact: I went the movies with Tony Robbins many years ago!
DM me on LinkedIn if you want to know what we watched (and if he cried?😊)
Ep. 102 - Possibilitarian shares insights to unlocking your creativity! Dave Gray
Welcome to another episode of The 1 to ONE Thing!
I'm joined by Dave Gray—author, visual thinker, founder of XPLANE, and creator of the School of the Possible.
In this episode, Dave and I dive into what it means to be a "Possibilitarian" and how so many of us walk past invisible doors of opportunity simply because we've convinced ourselves we can't draw, can't sell, or aren't creative.
We talk about lessons from art school, why business startups are actually massive creative projects, the art of selling without losing your soul, and how building a "third place" community can save you when work or life hits a bump.

Welcome to another episode of The 1 to ONE Thing!
In this episode, I met with Bernadette Fah, a chief of staff, COO, and self-described "C-suite counterweight" out of Singapore.
Bernadette shares her incredible journey from working since age 12 selling shoes in Singapore to raising $11 million for startups, navigating a bipolar 2 diagnosis, and discovering her unique pattern recognition superpower. Together, we dive into why ground-level execution beats high-altitude strategy, how to move from "narrative" to authentic "world building," and why everything in life—from your feelings to your reactions—is ultimately data you can reframe.

Ep.100 - Functional Healing Strategist: Stress is NOT the enemy
Welcome to another episode of The 1 to ONE Thing! In this episode, I am joined by Heidi Steenrod, a Master's-prepared Registered Nurse of over 30 years and a Functional Healing Strategist.
After witnessing her best friend and her husband both battle cancer, Heidi went on a deep personal journey to explore healing from a different lens—combining functional medicine, clinical nutrition, brain science, and energy medicine. Today, she helps high-achieving professionals move out of survival mode and reclaim their health.
We dive deep into why stress isn't the enemy (it's our unexamined response to it), how to spot the "smoke signals" of health crises before they erupt, and the powerful role that gratitude and alignment play in our physical wellness.
