Your Finest Hour: What does it take to move from driving results to truly transforming a company?
In this episode of Beyond High Performance, David Miller sits down with Jeff McMartin, President of Pliant Plastics, to explore his journey from a results-obsessed “high performer” to a transformational leader who embraces vulnerability, authenticity, and coaching.
Jeff reveals the hidden costs of chasing performance at all costs — and how leaning into coaching helped him reclaim agency, integrity, and influence. You’ll hear how this shift not only reshaped Jeff’s leadership but also turned Pliant Plastics’ culture into a driver of growth and innovation.

- How to identify and break free from the hidden barriers holding leaders back
- The role of coaching in scaling both culture and performance
- What it takes to lead a company into the future with clarity and courage
