David Buirs: Are You Leading, or Just Managing? | S2 Ep14
In this episode of Realistic Happiness, we’re joined by David Buirs, a leadership coach and expert in guiding emerging leaders to build confidence, develop self-awareness, and lead with authenticity.
We discuss:
- The Leadership Myth: Why being great at your job doesn’t automatically make you a great leader-and what skills are actually required.
- Task vs. People-Focused Leadership: How to find the right balance between driving results and fostering a supportive, engaged team.
- The Power of Vulnerability in Leadership: Why showing your struggles builds trust and respect rather than undermining authority.
- Healthy vs. Toxic Work Environments: How leadership styles impact workplace culture, psychological safety, and innovation.
- Mastering Delegation: Avoiding micromanagement while ensuring your team is challenged and motivated.
- Leadership as Influence: Understanding how managers shape behaviours, company culture, and even the well-being of their teams.
- Preventing Burnout & Sustainable Success: Why rewarding hustle culture over well-being leads to disengagement-and how to shift the mindset for long-term impact.
- Who Are You Without Your Job? Exploring leadership beyond work identity and the deeper questions every leader should ask themselves.
If you're a new or seasoned leader looking to improve your leadership skills, create a more positive team culture, and balance ambition with well-being, this episode is packed with insights to help you grow.

A really interesting chat. Work cultures are ever-changing, especially with new hybrid / remote working practices. Some great points raised about what to expect in a healthy workplace and from your leaders. 👍🏻
A really insightful and helpful episode on many levels. We are creatures of habit and comfort and for most people, fear is the only thing holding us back. Nearly all skills can be learnt with effort, practice and support. Hannah is right: ‘There is no shortcut. The only way to feel confidence is to do it’. So true also about turning anxiety into excitement - it’s a great technique for a more positive mindset!
Empowering! ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Don't trust this woman, she is a scam. I paid 2,ooo euros for her 'personalised' career coaching and haven't got anything. But also was left with trauma.
Jumping into an ice cold canal in winter - you are all very brave! But there does seem to be multiple health benefits associated with a cold plunge, as you explored. I’ve considered getting one for the garden, would be great on a summer’s morning. Really interesting discussion and a cool guest indeed (pardon the pun). Grazie Luigi and Daisy 👍🏻
I really enjoyed listening to this on the podcast on my drive home as so much of it resonated. We are indeed often our own worst critic and enemy. Lots of great advice on how to tackle our hindrances or, as Irene poignantly described, inner sabotuers. Thank you Irene and Daisy!
This is a great analysis and unpacking of male culture and societal norms with lots of sound advice and guidance for young men particularly. Interesting take on Verstappen and I think the correct one as he’s a real Jekyll and Hyde character on/off the track! Well done Yor and Daisy 👍🏻
thank you for taking the time to listen through the episode and leaving a thoughtful comment! i’m glad the Verstappen analysis resonated ;) i’m a big fan i may be slightly biased. glad you enjoyed the episode!
Yeah I think social media has changed a lot in recent years with more toxic and harmful male rhetoric and figures. It’s important to choose the right role models as ultimately they help to shape who we are, and l think you both hit that nail on the head. Ah, Verstappen - immensely talented but always controversial. Looking forward to more clashes with my guy Russell next season 😄
Asking permission is so key 🎉
It was an honour to be a guest!
Looks cool
was so good speaking to Szonja about this! learned a lot about myself, too. great episode.
I loved Irene's calming energy. ❤Great podcast, Daisy.
Very good episode.

Here for marcel🎉
Respect to the job you do, Daisy and I appreciate the efforts of your guest. This is the first video I watch on your podcast and it is packed well with to-the-point info💪🏼 And else, beautiful how Daisy let the guest speak. Very often the host just “avalanches” the guest barely allowing them to elaborate on the discussion topic.
02:55 we must mention that Actually the overwhelming majority of rejections occurs because the person who sees that resume first (the recruiter/recr analist/recr coordinator/talent/sourcer, etc.) cannot see you, the applicant in that role or the resume is somehow difficult to read or you are just of a nationality that the manager does not accept, etc, etc, etc. the list is truly infinte. So 1) it depends on the ability/quality of assessment of that recruiter, 2) on the (natural) discriminatory criteria of the expected “ideal candidate”, 3) certainly on the candidates content of experience. What all candidates might want to remember that once rejected, feed yourself the thought that It-mustvebeen-not-my-place-there, “mine, is waiting for me to find it”. Move on. Just move on. Your time is precious for you and only you✨🫂
That's very true. So many things to say that would not fit in an hour discussion. There are a lot of reasons why you might be rejected that have nothing to do with you or your skills, that are out of your control sometimes as you mentioned. A rejection does not define your value as a professional or a person. But I wholeheartdely agree. Apply and move on, especially if you do not hear back within 1-2 weeks assume you were rejected, trust that this place was not for you and move on to the next application / interview. Though what I stressed in my discussion with Daisy, it is easy to be optimistic while giving advice to other people, going through the process of continuesly being rejected is extremely stressful, especially if you are also under visa constraints to find a job asap (e.g orientation year visa in the Netherlands) and need a sponsor to be able to remain in the country. Thank you for the comment

Knowing about how brain works is like a a valuable knowledge and helps how to better navigate life & changes.
Watching this podcast, made me think of a friend that has ADHD and now I understand him much better than before. Am many things makes sense now. Thank you for this.
Just imagine people tend not to trust what they don't understand and cyberspace is hidden secret gem of civilization so by creating mistrust by competitor slowly they revert engineering the whole technology and even better
Watching this episode gave me a new insight about corporate world & it's like now I have a strategy on how to deal with this world!
