"The Hidden Work" with Weston Kieschnick (E139)
Mon Jan 26 2026
Episode 139 –Weston Kieschnick – The Hidden Work
What if the difference between top performers and underachievers has very little to do with talent, motivation, or luck and everything to do with the work no one sees?
In episode 139 of the #UUPotential Stories Show, Brandon sits down with Weston Kieschnick, author, speaker, leadership coach, and consultant whose work spans schools, athletics, and the corporate world. Weston has dedicated his career to studying what truly drives engagement and sustained performance, especially in environments where pressure is high and expectations are even higher.
Weston’s latest book, The Hidden Work: What Separates Top Performers from Underachievers, challenges conventional thinking about success. Grounded in real performance patterns and common pitfalls, his work highlights the unseen habits, decisions, and leadership behaviors that quietly shape outcomes over time. In this conversation, we unpack what “hidden work” really looks like, why so many leaders overlook it, and how educators, coaches, and organizational leaders can intentionally build cultures where growth, accountability, and engagement thrive.
This episode is full of practical insight, honest reflection, and powerful takeaways for anyone leading others or striving to lead themselves better. If you care about meaningful growth, long-term excellence, and unlocking potential beyond surface-level strategies, this conversation will resonate.
