#metronomics #growyourbusiness #leadership #businessgrowth #businessexpansion #businessdevelopment #businesstips #leadershipdevelopment #businesssuccessAbout MetronomicsMetronomics partners with CEOs and leadership teams to drive top-line growth through our proven playbook, customized software, and certified coaching community. Metronomics gives CEOs and leadership teams ‘the how’ behind establishing and reinforcing behaviors that get results. The Metronomics playbook brings together knowledge and insights from the best business thought leaders of our time. And this playbook has been proven as a complete, repeatable system for growth. Metronomics now has 80+ certified coaches teaming up with CEO and Leadership teams across the world to ensure the areas of focus - strategy, execution, cash, people, culture, and leadership - are receiving the right attention for growth.More about the Host: Shannon Susko

Metronomics’ founder, Shannon, built and sold two companies less than six years apart – including a sale that ranked in the Top 3 Mid-Market Deals on Wall Street in 2011. Fellow CEOs begged Shannon to share her secret to success, which pulled her out of retirement. This led to Shannon writing three best-selling books and starting a coaching practice. Since then, 80+ coaches have become Metronomics certified and have helped hundreds of businesses across the world to grow.

In this compelling episode of Metronomics, Ged Roberts sits down with Peter Oxley, Principal and Founder of Oxygen Advisory, to explore how self-awareness and intentional leadership can transform your business—and your life. Peter shares his raw journey from a founder who was “eating glass” through relentless hustle and chaos, to a leader who realized that he was the key to his own challenges. He discusses the pivotal moments that prompted him to seek help, the power of coaching, and the importance of systems—like scorecards and clear expectations—to create clarity, accountability, and peace of mind.

Peter’s story is a candid reflection on the high stakes of growth, the necessity of letting go, and the courage required to step into a more effective leadership role. He emphasizes that true progress begins with self-awareness, focusing on what really drives value, and building teams that can execute with discipline. His insights will inspire you to pause, reflect, and make the changes needed to grow faster, sleep better, and enjoy both a thriving business and a fulfilling personal life.

Tune in to discover how you can break free from the hamster wheel, leverage the power of coaching, and lead with clarity and confidence. Listen to the full episode here: https://youtu.be/OZA0rvNAWJw

Welcome to the latest episode of Metronomics, where we dive deep into the journeys of inspiring entrepreneurs and business leaders. This week, we’re thrilled to welcome Louis Retief, the founder of Hubly Inc, a leading workflow automation system for financial advisory firms. Louis shares candid insights about his six-and-a-half-year entrepreneurial journey, from the early days of building his company through the challenges brought on by COVID, to the emotional rollercoaster of restructuring and eventually selling the business. His story highlights the importance of trust, vulnerability, and personal growth in leadership, especially during tough times.

Louis discusses how trust within a leadership team is often invisible but can be observed through behaviors such as ownership avoidance, dependence on the CEO, and reluctance to take responsibility. He emphasizes that organizational growth is closely tied to the growth of its leaders and how vulnerability and self-awareness play pivotal roles in team dynamics. Throughout his story, Louis reflects on how understanding human psychology, parts theory from internal family systems, and intentional culture-building helped him navigate difficult decisions, including downsizing and restructuring his company during the market downturn. These lessons are invaluable for any entrepreneur seeking to grow resilient, high-performing teams.
