'The Influence Gap with Bernadette McClelland'
Where Leaders Close the Gap Between Intention and Impact
From the locker room to the boardroom to the war room — and beyond.
Most leadership podcasts talk about success stories after the dust has settled. The Influence Gap explores the precise moment a high-stakes call actually gets made—not the polished keynote version, but the real one.
Hosted by Bernadette McClelland—creator of Decision-Led Revenue™ and author of Sales ≠ Revenue—this show features candid conversations with real operators: Harvard professors, Paralympians, NCAA champions, Navy SEALs, neuroscientists, CEOs, and enterprise revenue leaders.
We ask the single question most people skip: “What did you actually decide, and what did it cost you?”
If you lead a team, an enterprise, or yourself, every episode will challenge how you approach your next hard call.
Every episode is built around decisions that change outcomes – not just ideas that sound good.
