Leadership, Communication, Sales/Marketing, and Stand-Up Comedy with Allexis Tuccio

Does your organization struggle with communication?

Are top performers getting promoted into leadership roles, and then struggling once they get there?

Are you a coach who wants to grow a real business, not just post content and hope?

In this episode of The Underlayer, David Young sits down with Allexis Tuccio — Master Certified Coach, CEO and founder of EZPZ Coaching, and strategic advisor to C-Suite leaders, to unpack what's actually breaking down inside organizations, and what it takes to fix it.

We explore a question most companies won't ask out loud:
What if the way you're developing and promoting leaders is the root cause of your communication problems?

Allexis shares why elite individual performance rarely translates into management skills, how middle managers get trapped between leadership and frontline reality, and what it actually takes to build a coaching culture that sticks, not as a one-time initiative but as a multi-year commitment.

Then we shift gears into what coaches actually need to grow a real business: visibility, niche clarity, and the pipeline basics that keep revenue steady. And yes, we talk stand-up comedy.

Topics We Cover:

• Why top performers get promoted into management, and why it often backfires
• How to disagree upward with respect and real influence
• Coaching culture as a multi-year commitment, not a quick fix
• Coach marketing fundamentals, consistent messaging, and the 7 to 11 touches idea
• Pipeline basics for coaches, tracking leads, follow-up, and using rejection as data
