• Apex Performance Starts with Relationships
    Mar 19 2026

    In the inaugural episode of the Apex Performance Podcast, Dr. Anthony Simmons shares a powerful leadership insight: lasting success begins with authentic relationships.

    Drawing from 28 years as a U.S. Navy Captain, global leadership experience across 60+ countries, and doctoral research in strategic leadership, Dr. Simmons reveals why connection—not just competence—is the foundation of high-performing teams.

    In this episode, you’ll learn why over 80% of employees are disengaged, how great leaders build trust and connection first, and how the ACT framework (Appreciate, Communicate, Trust) can transform leadership, teamwork, and organizational performance.

    If you want practical leadership insights that help you build stronger teams, improve engagement, and drive enduring success, this podcast will give you the tools to lead at your highest level.
