The Unlock Moment: find your purpose for leadership and lifeAuthor: Dr Gary Crotaz PhD
My names Dr Gary Crotaz, Im an international speaker, an executive coach, and I coined the term The Unlock Moment. An Unlock Moment is that flash of remarkable clarity when you suddenly know the right path ahead. Unlock Moments define us. They teach us about ourselves. And we remember them decades later. In exploring Unlock Moments on this podcast and in my speaking and coaching work, Ive discovered how we can see ourselves through a new lens, how we can make new and powerful connections, and how we can get right to the heart of our deepest underlying sense of purpose. In these intimate and curious conversations I explore how people find fulfilment, happiness and balance. From ordinary people with extraordinary stories, to some of the most successful people on the planet, youll hear them reflect on those pivotal life and career moments, when they suddenly knew something they didnt know before. And as you listen, maybe youll be inspired to explore your own Unlock Moment. Im so happy youre here. Sit back and open your mind. Welcome to The Unlock Moment!

187 Mildred Yuan: How to Play the Discomfort Olympics - A Masterclass in Negotiation
Episode 187
Monday, 9 March, 2026
Some negotiations are lost long before a single word is agreed. They’re lost in the rush to fill silence … in the instinct to ease tension … in the urge to make the other person comfortable. My guest in this episode understands this better than most. Mildred Yuan is a leading talent agent, negotiator and executive coach - and she also happens to be my partner in life. Years ago she was my dance partner too, back when competitive ballroom dancing played a big role in our lives. Her approach to negotiation traces back to a moment when she was just sixteen, staring down her formidable Tiger Mom across the kitchen table … and discovering a lesson she still uses today. Influence often belongs to the person willing to stay in discomfort a little longer. In this conversation we explore negotiation, self-advocacy, and the moment you realise that no one is coming to rescue you. At some point, you have to decide to stand your ground … and put on your own superhero cape. The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.
