Just Great People
Barry Eustance talks to ordinary people who've done extraordinary things that will engage and inspire you.
Entrepreneurs, business leaders, musicians, thought leaders, actors, developers, pilots, - anyone who's gone out and "done it".
Why they've done it, how they've done it, and how you can do it too.
Sometimes instructional, sometimes emotional, always fascinating, and endlessly inspiring.

Coaching, Change and Confidence – Tiffany Barnard on Supporting High-Performing Leaders
Just Great People podcast – Barry Eustance in conversation with Tiffany Barnard
In this episode of Just Great People, Barry Eustance is joined by global leadership coach Tiffany Barnard for a candid and compelling conversation about leadership, change, confidence, and why even the world’s top performers need support.
Drawing on her international background in hospitality and coaching, Tiffany shares her journey from working in Tanzania to becoming a trusted partner to leaders in some of the world’s leading organisations.
This is a conversation about what really happens behind the scenes in leadership – the personal pressures, the inner critic, and the challenge of imposter syndrome.
Tiffany offers practical and thoughtful advice on how to overcome these barriers and lead with greater clarity, confidence and resilience.
They also discuss how change management must be people-centric to succeed – and how AI may be evolving but can never replace the human connection at the heart of coaching and leadership.
Whether you're a founder, leader, or future leader – this episode is a powerful reminder that support isn’t a weakness, it’s a necessity.
What You’ll Learn:
• Why even top performers need coaching
• How imposter syndrome undermines confidence
• Why leadership can be a lonely space
• How self-awareness drives better decision-making
• What a great coach actually does
• The difference between fear of failure and self-imposed limits
• How to build trust and resilience in teams
• What AI might mean for the future of coaching – and what it won’t replace
