How can leaders achieve peak productivity without sacrificing fulfilment and well-being? In this in-depth interview, leadership expert Niels Brabandt speaks with entrepreneur, mountaineer, and leadership coach Saahil Mehta about redefining success, building resilience, and leading with clarity.

Drawing on his Seven Summits framework — inspired by mountaineering and applied to business leadership — Saahil Mehta outlines how executives can prioritise effectively, avoid the trap of short-term sacrifices, and adopt what he calls the “mountain mindset.”

Key insights from this conversation include:

• How to balance business productivity with personal fulfilment.

• Why defining your personal “Seven Summits” creates better decision-making clarity.

• The importance of distinguishing between “crystal balls” and “rubber balls” in leadership priorities.

• How empowerment, delegation, and preparation drive stronger results.

• Why resilience and self-care are critical for long-term leadership success.

For executives, entrepreneurs, and business decision makers, this episode provides actionable strategies to lead effectively in both professional and personal spheres.
