Dr. Dayan Douse

Written By Tim Terrentine

Episode 001: Transformation

What does real transformation actually require — and why do so many leaders get stuck trying to change?

In this inaugural episode of UNSTUCK, host Tim Terrentine sits down with Dr. Dayan Douse, Executive Coach and Organizational Transformation Strategist, for a direct conversation about responsibility, leadership, and what sustainable change truly demands.

Drawing from decades of Fortune 500 leadership experience and his Transformation Triangle™ framework, Dr. Douse challenges common assumptions about accountability and behavior change. Together, they explore why awareness isn’t enough — and what leaders must practice when they feel stuck between pressure, people, and expectations.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

  • The difference between responsibility and accountability

  • The three disciplines of the Transformation Triangle™

  • How blame, justification, shame, and obligation derail change

  • Why Authentic Intelligence (AI) can support—but not replace—human connection

  • Practical tools leaders can use immediately

  • How ownership reshapes teams, culture, and results
