Leadership, Pressure, and the Human Cost of High Performance

At some point in your career, success stops being about capability and starts being about capacity. Capacity to think clearly. Capacity to lead. Capacity to stay grounded under pressure. In today’s episode of The Escalation Podcast, I sit down with Tom Ungi to explore what really sits behind performance in high-pressure environments - leadership, identity, resilience, and the human cost of always operating at the top. This is not a conversation about frameworks or surface-level optimisation. Tom brings a rare perspective shaped by nearly two decades inside elite finance, including his time as Managing Director and Head of Trading at Millennium, where he helped scale the business across Europe and the Middle East. He understands first-hand what sustained pressure, responsibility, and decision-making at the highest level actually demand. Today, as Co-Founder and CEO of True Partnership, Tom works with hedge fund leaders, traders, and senior executives who want more than short-term performance. His work blends direct, results-driven methodologies with a deeply relational and empathetic approach - grounded in lived experience and academic research, including doctoral work on leadership and trauma. This is one of those conversations that stays with you long after it ends. #theescalationpodcast #corporatelife #viral #highperformancecoach #eliteperformance --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About The Escalation Podcast The Escalation Podcast blends thoughtful solo reflections with in-depth conversations with high-performing leaders across banking, finance, law, and the wider corporate world.
