Episode 11 | The Questions Episode | Friday, July 16 at 12pm (CST) | Register
Leaders who are effective at leading are learners. If we are going to learn effectively, we have to be curious and ask questions. Everyone has something they want to know more about, but sometimes they don’t ask. What questions do you have about leadership, team, people, etc.? Your questions will guide this episode.
Episode 10 | The Middle Blank Issue | May 2021 | Podcast
We all have a middle BLANK issue! We have something we want to accomplish in, with and through people in our…
leadership, marriage, parenting, coaching, sales approach, friends, etc. However, we can't seem to get it done because the other person won’t BLANK! Enter the middle BLANK issue!
The question is not why won't they stop doing that, the question is how do I lead them through and beyond that?
Episode 9 | The Leadership Spice - How and why Emotional Intelligence Matters | April 2021 | Podcast
How can leaders do all the right things and be very smart and still not get results in their leadership that they want? It makes no sense! Well, that’s because you can be really smart and actually “do” the right things and still not get the results you want. Experience and research have told us for many years that emotional intelligence is the underlying ingredient that changes everything. It is the “spice” that makes leadership that much more effective!
In this episode, we will chat with Lisa Austin about what emotional intelligence is and why it matters.
Episode 8 | The Fluffy Stuff Question Again: Leading in Fluffy Times! | March 2021
In a continuation of discussing the “fluffy stuff question,” we will explore how leadership has evolved and what we need to do to not just keep up with the curve but to stay ahead of the curve when leading weird people.

Episode 7 | The Fluffy Stuff Question | February 2021 | Podcast
Our leadership needs to shift as society shifts. If it doesn't, we may do unintentional damage. So, why was it not that way "back then?" In other words, why didn't all this fluffy stuff matter years ago?
Episode 6 | The Survival Mindset Revisited | January 2021 | Podcast
Heading into the new year, we need to do more than just survive. In fact, we always need to do more than just survive. I have been wondering if maybe, just maybe, we do and say things as leaders to perpetuate a survival mindset on our teams. We will follow up our October session [The Survival Mindset] with some new thoughts about that very thing. Remember, small movements matter!

Episode 4 | The Win | November 2020 | Podcast
We live in a scoreboard-driven society. If the scoreboard says we have more, then we win. If it says we have less, we lose. If profit says we have a lot of money, then we win. Turns out, that may not be accurate. What is the “win?” In our organizations, teams, lives marriages, etc., we all have something we want to ultimately accomplish. What does an accomplishment or success really looks like to you?

The survival mode makes for great TV shows and movies, but is horrible in real life! Do you just want to survive in your leadership or do you want more than that?

When the survival mindset sets in, everything goes flat.
