Cory shares his deep research into why sales professionals must focus on their "Trust Proposition" before they ever lead with a "Value Proposition".The conversation dives into the practical building blocks of trustworthiness, competency, problem-solving, and authentic care, and highlights why active listening remains the most effective tool in a salesperson's arsenal. Whether you are a veteran leader or a rising professional, this episode provides a blueprint for closing the trust gap to create lasting customer loyalty and meaningful results.KEY TAKEAWAYSTrust as the Foundation: deals stall and relationships fade without a firm belief in the truth of the person or the process.The Trust Proposition: Your trust proposition must precede and bolster your value proposition; value is only recognized once trust is established.The Three Pillars: Building trust requires mastering three specific elements: competency, problem-solving, and authentic care for others.The Power of Listening: Active listening is the single most powerful way to demonstrate that you genuinely care about a client's outcome.The Generational Shift: Younger professionals (ages 18–29) are highly sensitive to trust levels and will quickly exit environments where it is lacking.Outcome vs. Strategy: Real growth is not a strategy you implement, but an outcome of consistent, trustworthy actions.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESTrust is the firm belief in the truth of something or someone.The number one way to demonstrate care for others... is by listening actively.Mind the trust gap, get your trust proposition out on the business table as fast as possible.Growth is an outcome. It is not a strategy.

I'm excited to share Part 2 of my 2025 yearend retrospective, which highlights the most impactful insights shared by our amazing guests, as determined by you, the listener. The goal of this special 2-part episode is to lay the foundation such that 2026 is your best year yet!What is incredible to me is how similar the core themes were across the different guests who joined us on the program. Not surprisingly, curiosity was a major area of emphasis. In a world of constant change, being curious about ourselves and others is vitally important to unlock our individual and collective potential.We also touched on the importance of community and belonging to create cultures of peak performance. Emotions were also discussed in depth, not as a distractor, but more as a navigational compass. Becoming friends with our inner worlds and listening intently to the lessons our emotions are trying to teach us was a crucial takeaway from this past year.Last but not least, and building on the past thread, in a world of AI, it is essential not to delegate our thinking to technology. While it is an invaluable and powerful thought partner, we, the user, needs to continue to be the thought leader. Being more mindful and intentional about the questions we ask is the key to our success! I hope these episodes provide some actionable insights you can leverage in 2026 and beyond!What You'll Learn- Curiosity: A superpower in leadership and in life- Social sensitivity and team success- The 3 C's of meaningful work: Community, contribution, challenge- AI as a leadership tool: The CRIT Framework- Cognitive diversity and team innovation- Unleashing creativity and problem finding- Embracing emotions in leadership- The power of matteringKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Personal growth, Professional Development, Uncomfortable Conversations, Team Dynamics, Individual/Collective Excellence, Mindfulness, Navigating Uncertainty, Embracing Curiosity, Asking Questions, Building Resiliency, Authentic Leadership, Psychological Safety, Positive Change, Managing Stress, Success Principles

Everything you put into the world is doing something. Your website. Your social posts. Your emails. Your videos. Your interviews. In this episode, Shannon Jamail breaks down a truth most retreat leaders avoid: if you're not repelling anyone, you're probably being too generic. Attraction is only half the conversation. Sustainable retreat businesses are built on clarity - and clarity naturally attracts the right people while filtering out the wrong ones. Shannon explains why repelling misaligned guests isn't a flaw, it's a leadership skill, and how trying to please everyone leads to burnout, boundary issues, and low-quality experiences. She also addresses a critical nuance retreat leaders need to understand: the difference between being purposeful and being polarizing - and why "anti" messaging often does more harm than good in a business rooted in trust, safety, and connection. This episode is a must-listen for retreat leaders who want aligned guests, healthier group dynamics, and a business that actually feels good to run. Key Takeaways Everything you create either attracts or repels - and both are necessary. If you're trying to be liked by everyone, your message is likely watered down. Repelling misaligned people protects your energy, your team, and your guests. Clear messaging prevents boundary issues, complaints, and emotional drain. Strong leadership is about standing firmly in who you are - not pleasing everyone. There's a difference between purposeful messaging and polarizing, anti-focused content. Being pro what you stand for builds trust far more effectively than being anti anything. Clarity in your brand leads to alignment, ease, and long-term sustainability.     The Retreat Leaders Podcast Resources and Links: Learn to Host Retreats Join our private Facebook Group Top 5 Marketing Tools Free Guide Get your legal docs for retreats Join Shannon in Denver at the Retreat Industry Forum  Join our LinkedIn Group Apply to be a guest on our show   Thanks for tuning into the Retreat Leaders Podcast.

[14:57] The Three C's: Catch, Challenge, Change - Rhett breaks down the simple but powerful framework for managing self-talk: Catch it (notice harmful narratives), Challenge it (question if it's true, useful, or even yours), and Change it (replace destructive narratives with grounded thinking).

Dr. Laura welcomes international keynote speaker, CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame inductee, and one of the world's leading experts on executive presence and influence, Stacey Hanke, to the show to talk about how we can tend to and elevate our influence at work. Stacey defines the qualities of true influence and discusses her Monday to Monday philosophy of consistency in messaging. Not only is influence grown in what we say, but how we listen, how we show up daily, and how we continue to present ourselves. Stacey's new book, Influence Elevated, describes how consistent quality communication is key to maintaining influence. Monday to Monday, to her, means that our influence does not take weekends off. We must present ourselves authentically and consistently in every interaction. Stacey and Dr. Laura explore the importance of body language, active and mindful listening, everybody's individual influence type, and the necessity of being future-focused. Stacey's insight reveals how leaders, executives, and professionals at every career stage can strengthen their executive presence and elevate the way they show up both in person and virtually. “There's tons of confusion about what influence is and how to achieve it. We define it, my team and I, as your body language and your messaging. They need to be consistent Monday to Monday. That way no one ever has to guess who's going to show up. And we all know that true consistency is doing what you say you're doing when no one's watching.” - Stacey HankeAbout Stacey Hanke:Stacey Hanke is an international keynote speaker, CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame inductee, and one of the world's leading experts on executive presence, influence, and leadership communication.For more than two decades, she has worked with leaders at nearly 100 Fortune 500 companies — including Microsoft, Google, American Express, Coca-Cola, Boeing, and FedEx — equipping them with the skills to command a room, earn trust, and be consistently perceived as the respected, influential leaders they intend to be.Stacey's transformative, humor-filled presentations teach audiences to overcome modern communication hurdles with proven strategies that capture attention, authentically connect, and inspire people to take action.

In this episode of the Champion Forum Podcast, we sit down with Chris Cooper, a global voice in leadership, culture, and business elevation. With over three decades of experience working with international brands and leaders around the world, Chris shares powerful insights on authentic leadership, creating cultures where people thrive, and why impact matters more than titles or profit alone.

Culture isn't something you copy — it's something you create. In this episode of The Rural Sales Show, St John Craner sits down with Conrad Smith, former All Black and renowned leader, to explore what it really takes to build a team culture that lasts. Drawing on his experience inside one of the most successful sporting teams on the planet, Conrad shares why authenticity matters more than imitation — and why the strongest cultures are those built deliberately, thoughtfully, and uniquely from the inside out. Instead of replicating what other teams do, the All Blacks invested in what genuinely aligned with their identity, values, and purpose. This is a conversation about clarity, ownership, and choosing carefully where you put your energy — lessons that extend far beyond the rugby field into business, leadership, and life. You'll learn: ⦁ Why great cultures aren't copied — they're crafted ⦁ How authenticity creates alignment, buy-in, and pride ⦁ Why teams must invest in what truly adds meaning and value ⦁ How the All Blacks chose rituals and practices that reflected who they really were ⦁ The leadership principles behind building a high-performing environment ⦁ Why clarity of identity is foundational to sustainable success ⦁ How teams can strengthen culture by owning their story and direction Conrad and St John unpack what separates world-class teams from the rest — the intentionality, humility, and identity that shape how people show up and perform, whether on the field or in the workplace.

On this thought-provoking episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast titled “The CFO Whisperer on Authentic Leadership and Navigating Change in High Stakes Environments,” host Wize El Jefe sits down with renowned leadership advisor Kenneth Merritt, a figure known for guiding CFOs and financial executives through the complexities of transformation, growth, and leadership for nearly three decades. The conversation takes listeners far beyond the usual leadership buzzwords, tackling the realities of authentic connection, adaptability, and the evolving demands placed on executives in today's business climate. From the first moments, listeners are invited to think deeply about what it truly means to lead—not just in theory, but in the kinetic, unpredictable markets that define our era. Kenneth Merritt shares candidly about the pivotal moments in his career that shattered his early notions about traditional leadership playbooks. He recounts witnessing layoffs early in his career, serving as a wake-up call about the volatility of the corporate world and the importance of agility. Further, mergers, acquisitions, and shifting economic conditions taught him that leadership is less about static rules and more about reading and meeting the moment, no matter the cost. As the conversation unfolds, Wize El Jefe draws out Kenneth Merritt's insights on what truly shapes a leader. It's not just technical prowess or knowing the right answer; it's about understanding people, building trust, and fostering authentic relationships. Especially for financial leaders, this means going beyond the spreadsheets and transactions to become a trusted advisor and a catalyst for change. Kenneth Merritt emphasizes that trust and relationship-building only become more critical the higher one rises on the corporate ladder. The ability to guide others depends heavily on interpersonal skills, transparency, and the readiness to bring people along—even when decisions are tough or unpopular. Listeners will appreciate Kenneth Merritt's vulnerability as he shares mistakes he made early on. He admits to once believing that having the “right answer” was enough, only to later realize the necessity of persuasion, empathy, and selling a vision. Leadership requires buy-in, not just intellectual correctness. In practical terms, Kenneth Merritt describes his leadership identity as embodying “gravitas”—the balance between confidence, capability, and understanding of expectations. He shares that gravitas isn't innate or automatic; it's developed through self-awareness, continual learning, and alignment between what a situation demands and what a leader can deliver. The episode dives deeply into the realities of the AI-driven world and the future of work. Kenneth Merritt and Wize El Jefe discuss how executives often remain behind the curve, not because of technology itself but due to a disconnect between AI providers, decision makers, and those who use the technology daily. The lesson: leaders must continually ask questions, demand real-world utility, and integrate AI as a tool—rather than as a buzzword or afterthought. Offering a blueprint for transformational leadership, Kenneth Merritt outlines three essential behaviors: acceptance of necessary change, clear definition of target outcomes, and the assembling of high-caliber teams, tools, and processes. In his view, change isn't incremental, but quantum—requiring leaders to genuinely step outside comfort zones. Authenticity, particularly in finance, is examined in a fresh light. Kenneth Merritt breaks down relationship-building into three types of conversations: sharing the story of performance, candidly communicating risks and failures, and, most importantly, forging real, everyday connections that promote a sense of partnership well beyond financial analysis. These subtle, human actions form the bedrock of trust in environments where skepticism and caution typically reign. The episode also tackles the future of finance and executive leadership. Kenneth Merritt predicts volatility and rapid change will only escalate in coming years, requiring finance professionals to develop agile teams and systems capable of handling shifting economies, competitive pressures, and constant disruption. The wisdom here is clear—resilience and adaptation are no longer optional, but essential parts of an executive's toolkit. Personal growth and wellness get heartfelt attention in the latter half of the conversation. Both Wize El Jefe and Kenneth Merritt share their own journeys of health, mindset, and spirituality, underlining how well-being and professional success are irrevocably intertwined. The advice is straightforward: personal alignment, whether physical, mental, or spiritual, empowers leaders to show up at their best, at work and in life. For those aspiring to executive leadership, Kenneth Merritt shares concrete guidance. Performance is paramount, but so is a commitment to ongoing learning. He cautions against stagnation and advises leaders to treat their growth like building physical strength—exercising new skills daily, honing executive presence, and cultivating gravitas over time. Finally, Kenneth Merritt reflects on the legacy he's building through Merit Advisory Group—a commitment to value creation, partnership, and leaving clients and colleagues in a better place than before. He champions the power of relationships, continuous development, and giving back, both professionally and personally. This episode is a must-listen for leaders at any level, especially those navigating change, seeking authentic impact, or planning for the unpredictable future. It offers practical advice, real-world stories, and a call to embrace the human side of business, all while reminding us that true leadership involves leading oneself first. Tune in for expert wisdom, personal stories, and actionable insights on how to future-proof your leadership, build trust, and drive meaningful change—inside and outside the boardroom.

You've mastered leadership. But speaking what's actually true for you—especially when it's uncomfortable? That's the edge this episode is for. There have been seasons where Celinne couldn't fully speak her truth. In a ceremony with 40 witnesses, she was forced to dig to the depths of her being and speak the words rising in her chest. The vibration of that truth didn't just shift her—it shifted the entire room. In this episode, Celinne shares the hidden cost of self-silencing, the physical sensation of truth that demands to be spoken, and what happens when you have the courage to speak even if your voice shakes. You'll learn a simple practice for excavating your truth for authentic leadership, how to recognize when you're performing instead of transmitting, and why one soul feeling less alone is sacred impact. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:01 Discover the courage to speak even when your voice shakes 06:24 Witness the visceral impact of speaking truth to 40 people 08:46 Learn why we teach what we're most here to learn 16:01 Explore the hidden cost of self-silencing as self-abandonment 20:01 Understand why we're not afraid of being judged—we're afraid of being understood 01:13:41 Recognize the permission you give others when you stop performing 01:19:06 Practice the hand-on-heart method to excavate your truth KEY IDEAS: ✨ Truth has a physical sensation: When truth rises through you, it creates pressure in your chest—speak it or suffocate. Self-silencing is a form of self-betrayal that compounds over time. ✨ Performing vs transmitting: Performing is speaking from your head, ego, and strategy. Transmitting is speaking from your heart, soul, and the depths of your being. The room feels the difference. ✨ Sacred impact over metrics: You don't need a million likes. You need one soul to feel less alone because of what you said. Leadership is one person at a time, not follower counts.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Susanne Biro, an executive coach with over two decades of experience helping CEOs and senior leaders transform not just how they work, but how they live.As the author of This Could Be Everything and creator of the Inner Life Leadership approach, Susanne teaches that no amount of external success can compensate for the absence of inner fulfillment, self-respect, and self-awareness. Her work invites us to rethink leadership entirely and not as a role bestowed from the outside, but as a practice cultivated from within.In this insightful and deeply human conversation, Susanne shares how tools like her Self-Inquiry Tool (SIT) help reveal the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that quietly shape our behavior and impact others. She explains why real leadership begins with the “Power of I” and the courage to own our experience, our choices, and the way we show up. From this place of accountability and genuine presence, trust becomes not something we demand but something we embody. Susanne's message is clear: the quality of our inner life determines the quality of our relationships, our work, and ultimately, our impact.Together, Sam and Susanne explore how leaders, and all of us, can create a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. They discuss why developing others is the highest expression of leadership and why that level of service is only possible when we have first committed to our own deep self-development. This episode is a powerful reminder that transformation starts within and that doing the inner work is not only essential, but profoundly liberating.Tune in and share your own experiences with doing your own inner work on our YouTube livestream or on our Facebook page.https://amzn.to/3KCJUg0susannebiro.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-conscious-consultant-hour8505/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

“When I first walked into the FA, I felt completely out of place - like an alien at someone else's party. The culture was so unfamiliar that I doubted whether I belonged at all. But by finding allies and quietly building a team who believed in change, I realised I could make an impact.”Baroness Sue Campbell is one of the most influential leaders in British sport, a woman whose entire career has been driven by a single mission: to use sport to change lives. Recorded live at the Leaders in Sport 2025 Summit, this conversation revisits her extraordinary impact at the FA, her pivotal role in the Lionesses' Euro 2022 triumph and her new chapter chairing England Netball.She talks openly about resilience rooted in moral purpose and the power of authentic leadership. We explore how staying focused on her mission, and not personal ego, has carried her through moments of doubt, sexism and deep personal challenge.Sue speaks movingly about the Lionesses' journey, working with Sarina Wiegman and the unforgettable night at Wembley when years of pressure and self-doubt melted into joy. But she also warns of the current “illusion” of success in women's sport, urging urgent investment in the ‘missing middle' - the semi-professional pathways that must be strengthened if young women are truly to build sustainable careers in sport.Now leading England Netball, Sue shares her passion for growing the sport's profile and protecting the unique culture that makes women's sport so special - community, safety, authenticity and connection.Her message for future leaders is clear and compelling: stay authentic, find your purpose, learn relentlessly and never underestimate the power of one determined individual to change the world.Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production
