What happens when success on paper no longer feels right in real life? In this episode of Dancing in the Discomfort Zone, Anne Bonney talks with Trevor Blondeel (www.trevorblondeel.com) about leadership, emotional intelligence, and what it really takes to connect people across the C-suite and the shop floor. From manufacturing leadership to tough conversations and values-based decisions, this episode is packed with practical insight and refreshing honesty. 

We talk about:

  • Making big, scary life and career changes when your values are waving red flags
  • Why telling people what to do is killing engagement and what to do instead
  • Talking about feelings in manufacturing without passing out or handing out tissues

Trevor Blondeel connects the top to the shop—one conversation at a time. After 25 years in manufacturing, he now speaks, writes, and coaches leaders to stop telling and start talking, turning deeper conversations into real results. He’s the host of Mindfulness Manufacturing, a top 1% podcast globally, and his client list includes Nestlé, Energizer, and Nucor. If you want retention, engagement, and accountability, start by getting uncomfortable.
