455. “Your True Nature Is Good” Reimagining Leadership with MaryCay Durrant

In this episode, we sit down with MaryCay Durrant—known as MC—a globally recognized change leadership and business performance consultant with over 30 years of experience working alongside organizations like Johnson & Johnson, Deloitte, Pepsi, Hyatt, and KPMG. After a successful corporate career left her feeling disconnected and numb, MaryCay began questioning the conventional playbook of achievement. What emerged was a radically different model of leadership rooted not in pressure and performance alone, but in presence, partnership, and the wisdom of nature. We explore her WORK model—Wake up to wonder, Orient from the inside out, Reimagine relating, and Keep nourishing what matters—and how these principles transform not just teams, but marriages, families, and personal well-being. Drawing on lessons from the natural world, including her powerful experiences with horses, MaryCay challenges us to shift from transactional and adversarial dynamics toward trust, congruence, and cooperation. This conversation is an invitation to pause, reframe tension, and lead in ways that restore both performance and the human spirit.
