Beyond High Performance

In this Greatest Hits episode of Beyond High Performance, host Dan Leffelaar sits down with Esther Mun, founder of the acclaimed branding and design studio Little Fury, and her coach Chris North, Associate Partner at Novus Global.

What began as skepticism toward coaching turned into a life-changing journey for Esther—helping her uncover hidden beliefs, rediscover her confidence, and transform how she leads both creatively and professionally. Together with Chris, she shares how coaching challenged her to replace self-imposed limits with curiosity and courage—turning “walls” into “bridges.”

You’ll hear how Esther built Little Fury from passion and persistence, what it means to find the right coaching “chemistry,” and how curiosity and commitment can unlock exponential growth.

🔑 You’ll discover:
  • How the right coaching chemistry fuels transformation and creativity
  • Why curiosity and accountability are catalysts for personal and professional growth
  • How shifting from “I can’t” to “I can test it” leads to breakthrough confidence
  • The mindset change that helped Esther see every obstacle as an opportunity
  • Why great coaching isn’t about being told what to do—it’s about awakening what’s already within you

Esther’s story reminds us that growth begins when we challenge the stories we tell ourselves—and that the best coaching partnerships don’t just change your work; they change your world.
