My guest today is Sava Riaskoff.

Sava is a Performance & Wellbeing Coach, TEDxSpeaker, and Associate Professor at the ESADE MBA in Barcelona. Over the past seven years, he’s worked with leaders and next-gen talent through 1:1 coaching, in-company trainings, and immersive retreats in Europe and Patagonia.

His work is deeply shaped by his own journey — from following a path that looked right on paper but left him quietly burning out, to being forced to face some of the hard questions we tend to avoid:

What do I actually want? And who am I really, when I stop trying to fit in or live up to other people’s expectations?

Today, he helps others explore those same questions — and navigate the uncertainty, self-doubt, and pressure that tend to come with choosing a new path or stepping into leadership.

I met Sava through the kind introduction of Adela Warkentin (thank you, Adela!!). This is a beautiful and inspiring conversation where we explore the intersection of emotional safety and authenticity or vulnerability. What changes when we choose to be vulnerable and risk the unknown? Ironically enough, as Sava shares… we find safety, despite it feeling so scary.

Sava, thank you for jumping into the deep end of the conversational pool with me! Thank you for choosing authenticity and vulnerability. You are an inspiration! Keep being you and adding such beautiful light to the world!!
