How do you build real endurance, not just physically, but professionally and personally, when the pressure rises?
In this episode of Chief Endurance Officer, Courtney Potter shares her journey of navigating leadership challenges, career pivots, and high-performance expectations with resilience and intentional growth. Courtney opens up about the mindset shifts required to stay grounded during uncertainty and how endurance thinking shapes stronger leaders.
This conversation explores how resilience isn’t accidental, it’s built through discipline, self-awareness, and the willingness to evolve.
Takeaways:
Endurance Is Built Daily: Resilience isn’t reactive, it’s developed through consistent habits, discipline, and self-reflection long before challenges arise.
Adaptability Is a Leadership Advantage: Sustainable success requires the courage to pivot, evolve, and rethink strategy when circumstances change.
Clarity Anchors Performance: A clear sense of purpose and priorities helps leaders make confident decisions under pressure.
Discomfort Drives Growth: Leaning into hard conversations and unfamiliar challenges builds confidence and capability over time.
Personal Well-Being Fuels Professional Performance: Physical, mental, and emotional strength are foundational to sustained leadership effectiveness.
Intentional Action Beats Blind Persistence: True endurance isn’t about grinding endlessly, it’s about moving forward with awareness and strategy.
Quote of the Show:
“Endurance isn’t about pushing through blindly, it’s about learning, adapting, and choosing to keep moving forward with intention.” - Courtney Potter
