100 episodes. One Century of Swim Bros!For Episode 100, Kyle and I sit down with someone who has had an enormous impact on both of us personally and professionally: Jeff Dugdale.Jeff helped build Queens Swimming from a Division II startup into one of the greatest dynasties in collegiate swimming winning 14 NCAA Division II National Championships between the men's and women's programs before helping lead Queens through its elevation to Division I.But we didn't bring Jeff on just to talk about championships.We wanted to understand the people, leadership, relationships, and culture behind them.We talk about Jeff's journey from athlete to coach, the evolution of Queens from DII startup → DII dynasty → Division I, and then ask him three burning questions from three different perspectives:As an athlete: How can I reach my full potential?As a parent: How can I best support my college athlete?As a coach: What is the secret sauce? How do you build a culture that is both incredibly positive and incredibly successful?We also talk about how Jeff's perspective has evolved now that he's experienced college athletics as a parent himself, how his responsibilities have changed as he's grown as a coach and leader, and what he believes actually matters when you're trying to build something that lasts.And, of course, we finish with You Like That?Jeff's résumé is remarkable: 14 DII National Championships16 DII Conference ChampionshipsMultiple Division I conference Multi national-level titles Several Athletes recognized among the very best student-athletes in the NCAA as academic finalist and Walter Byers finalists “We Exist to Build Leaders for Life, With Royals Pride!”After 100 episodes, I can't think of many people I'd rather celebrate this milestone with.We love you, Jeff. Thanks for everything you've done for us and for joining us for # 100

How can you transform leadership development from a one-time event into an organization-wide learning process? In this special episode, Kevin shares how organizations and leaders can use Virtual LeaderCon to improve leadership at the individual and enterprise levels. He highlights leadership insights from past events, including the importance of being willing to say, "I don't know"; stepping aside to allow others to succeed; focusing on leadership techniques rather than personality; setting priorities; and recognizing that organizations often have more of a listening problem than a knowledge problem. Kevin also discusses how organizations can put learning into practice by dividing sessions among leaders, organizing lunch-and-learns, establishing learning pairs, and connecting sessions to development goals.

In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike "C-Roc" sits down with John O'Sullivan, former collegiate and professional soccer player and coach, TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and founder of the Changing the Game Project, for a powerful conversation about sports, leadership, resilience, parenting, and the lessons that shape us both on and off the field.John shares the journey that took him from a young multi-sport athlete on Long Island to collegiate soccer, professional coaching, and ultimately becoming an internationally recognized advocate for improving youth sports. He opens up about suffering a devastating injury before his senior year of high school, how it changed his trajectory, and how one coach's willingness to give him a second chance helped him continue pursuing his passion.Mike "C-Roc" and John dive deep into what it really takes to become an elite athlete—and why talent alone isn't enough. They discuss sacrifice, discipline, work ethic, perseverance, and the mindset required to compete at the highest levels. John also explains how today's youth sports environment has changed, including the pressure for kids to specialize earlier, do more, and treat sports like a job before they are ready.The conversation also explores leadership and character development in young athletes. John explains why kids need opportunities to solve their own problems, navigate conflict, develop confidence, and learn how to lead their peers rather than having adults constantly step in to fix everything for them.As the founder of the Changing the Game Project and host of the Way of Champions Podcast, John has dedicated his career to helping coaches, parents, athletes, and sports organizations create healthier and more meaningful environments for young people. His message is simple but powerful: sports should develop the person, not just the player.This episode is a must-listen for athletes, coaches, parents, leaders, and anyone who believes that the lessons learned through sports can create stronger, more resilient, and more capable people.Website-www.changingthegameproject.com Social Media Links/Handles:https://www.facebook.com/ChangingTheGameProject https://www.instagram.com/ctgprojecthq/ https://x.com/CTGProjectHQ

The worst time to think about succession is when your organization is already in crisis. In this episode, Scott and Scott sit down with succession planning expert Jerry Nelson and ServiStar's Peter Tyson to unpack what the NCUA succession planning rule really means for credit unions.

Jerry shares practical strategies from his NEXT Method to help boards and CEOs move beyond gut feelings and create measurable leadership readiness. From scorecards and executive demeanor to culture fit and bench strength, this conversation challenges leaders to protect the mission by preparing the next generation before they are needed.  In this episode we talk about and answer these questions:  • what problem is the NCUA trying to solve with succession planning requirements  • why having a replacement name is not the same as having a development plan  • how can boards and CEOs evaluate future leaders beyond technical performance  • what should be included in a succession scorecard for executive readiness  • how often should succession plans and leadership evaluations be reviewed  • how do Target Leadership tools help leaders build executive presence and culture fit  Click Here to Submit Your Questions  Links from show:  Succession Now website The NEXT Method  ServiStar's TARGET Leadership Program  ServiStar's Credit Union PHD course  Subscribe to ServiStar Leadership Podcast on your favorite streaming service

Joth Ricci is CEO of LYBL (Live Your Best Life), owner of Winderlea Winery, author of The System, executive chair of Burgerville, and former CEO of Dutch Bros and Stumptown Coffee. In this conversation, Joth explains why great companies aren't built by leaders who solve more problems—they're built by leaders who teach their people how to solve them. He breaks down the difference between executing and multiplying, what actually breaks during scaling, why discipline is the foundation of everything, and what the next decade of leadership development is actually missing. For leaders who've built something good but want to scale it without losing it, or for anyone responsible for developing the next generation of leaders, this episode cuts to the root of where most organizations plateau.

Watch this Episode on YouTube | Joth Ricci on The Leader as Teacher: Building Leaders, Scaling Companies, and Multiplying Impact https://bit.ly/TLP-516 Key Moments [05:59] The behavior that blocks learning in every organization and how to fix it [08:01] What breaks first when you scale too fast and how to protect against it [10:50] The recipe for pacing growth without losing your culture [13:13] Why discipline isn't just a trait—it's the through-line of great leadership [15:57] How to spot a leadership multiplier versus someone who's just executing [17:46] The number one mistake when promoting high performers into leadership [19:44] A coaching principle most executives miss [22:02] The gap between resilience and burnout—and what leaders actually need to do [24:14] How to balance purpose-driven work with financial performance [27:07] What the next generation of leaders is missing [31:00] Why curiosity and people skills are the real bottleneck for the future [34:27] When success isn't enough—the shift from achievement to fulfillment Memorable Quotes "Adults are just adult versions of the 16 year olds they were. You have engaged employees, employees just getting through the day, and employees staying off the radar. Great leaders engage at all learning levels." "I don't solve problems for people. I teach them how to work through problems. That shows you what people are made of. The people who can figure it out, they're going to do okay. The people who can't—they don't pass the test." "Great leadership is about pacing. Understanding how to manage your organization's pace and what they can and can't do. You build capacity incrementally, not in big steps. If you go too fast, it breaks you and the organization." "I'm a big believer in the discipline of staying on task, the discipline of getting things done, the discipline of how you manage your day. You can't manage others if you don't manage yourself well." "The job of a coach is to prepare your people. The players play the game; the coach doesn't. That's how you lead—constantly preparing people for what they do." "When I look for multipliers, I'm looking for people having influence on other people—dynamic in rooms, connecting with people, not talking at them. Emotionally able to meet people where they're at." "The number one mistake is promoting good performers who haven't shown those markers of leadership potential. We're good at identifying performance. We're terrible at identifying potential leaders." "Psychological fitness is not just recharging. It's the ability to stay on strategy and lead your teams through execution even in times of challenge or great growth." "The one thing many leaders miss is their ability to engage at different learning levels and achievement levels. We expect people to perform but don't spend time helping them get better." "The most impactful thing I ever did wasn't taking Dutch public. It was helping people grow. That's what fulfills me. And now I get to do that full-time." "A great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of arts, since the medium is the human mind and spirit." — John Steinbeck Explore the full archive at www.theleadershippodcast.com or wherever you get your podcasts!

JP Nerbun's 10-year-old daughter said something on the walk to the bus that stopped him cold: "She's climbing the mountain of achievement without any purpose." That one line is the heart of this entire conversation.This special episode drops on the launch day of JP's new book The Culture Captain — a field guide for athletes learning to lead from the inside out. JP sits down with longtime friend John O'Sullivan, founder of the Changing the Game Project and co-author of Captain: The Athlete's Guide to Being an Exceptional Team Leader (with Jerry Lynch). Two books. Same subject. Written simultaneously, on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

SummaryIn the latest episode of Visionary Leader with Jim Robinson, host Jim Robinson sits down with Josh Foliart, founder of Multiply Global, to discuss the real foundation of leadership and what it takes to be a truly influential leader. From humble beginnings and a desire to be a football coach, Josh shares how mentorship, faith, and pivotal life experiences shaped his journey to launching a global initiative that now supports leaders across eight countries.Josh emphasizes that leadership isn't just about titles or positions, it's about developing trust, having the courage to say yes, and being open to coaching. He notes that many leaders around the world have the drive but lack essential resources and relationships. Multiply Global aims to bridge this gap, journeying long-term with individuals defined by their willingness to be coached and their courage to lead.A key takeaway from the episode is Josh's deep dive into the importance of trust in leadership. He highlights the four Cs—character, chemistry, competency, and credibility—as core ingredients to build meaningful influence. Josh is passionate about communication, advocating for leaders to over-communicate and seek feedback, and challenges the assumption that simply transmitting information means it has been effectively communicated.Whether you're a leader, aspiring to be one, or just passionate about personal development, this episode is packed with practical wisdom on building authentic influence and creating a global impact through service-based leadership!Show Notes(00:00) Introduction(03:59) Turning Received Vision into Conviction(11:43) The Vision Behind Multiply Global(16:28) Maximizing Trust in Leadership(23:29) Boosting Potential with High Expectations(27:15) Celebrate, Clarify, Care, Critique(29:37) Communication vs. TransmissionLinkshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-robinson-18211918/https://www.cgpconstruction.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshfoliart/https://multiplyleadercollective.com/

In this episode, Alan Briggs sits down with Laura Kriska — cross-cultural consultant, speaker, and author of The Business of We — for a conversation about one of the most underestimated challenges in leadership today: the invisible gaps that keep teams from reaching their full potential. Laura was born in Japan, raised in Ohio, and spent her early career as the first American woman working inside Honda's Tokyo headquarters. What started as a fascinating cross-cultural immersion became a three-decade career helping leaders and organizations bridge the us versus them gaps that quietly undermine collaboration — whether those gaps are cultural, generational, geographic, or simply the difference between how two departments approach a problem. If you lead a team of any kind, the frameworks Laura shares in this episode are immediately actionable and long overdue. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Laura's origin story — born in Japan to missionary parents, raised in Columbus, Ohio, and what that unique upbringing taught her about cultural differences hiding in plain sight What happened on her first day at Honda's Tokyo headquarters — and the split-second decision she made that shaped her entire philosophy of cross-cultural leadership The We Building framework — what it means to bridge an us versus them gap and why the best leaders do it even when they don't agree with or like the difference they're bridging The trust continuum: stranger → acquaintance → colleague → trusted colleague — and why most teams get stuck at colleague and never make it to trusted Why cultural differences are inevitable and predictable — and what changes when leaders start treating them that way The difference between visible and invisible cultural differences — and why the invisible ones cause the most damage The Team Machine — Laura's 90-minute interactive simulation that exposes the real collaboration behaviors teams bring to work every day Three categories of action for bridging any cultural gap: safe actions, challenging actions, and radical actions What males can specifically do — with humility — to better include female colleagues in their work cultures How hybrid work and the pandemic have made silos worse and what leaders can do about it right now Reflection Questions: Where in your organization is an us versus them gap quietly costing you collaboration and trust? When did you last take a safe, challenging, or radical action to bridge a cultural difference on your team? Are the people you lead stuck at colleague — and what would it take to move them to trusted colleague?

Most leaders say culture matters.Very few are willing to do what it actually takes to build one.In this episode, Jesse sits down with Lisa Corrales - Field Verified leader with 25 years in organizational development and healthcare - to unpack the uncomfortable truth: culture isn't built through values on a wall. It's built through conversations most leaders avoid.They get into why promoting people based on seniority quietly erodes teams, what separates leaders who grow from those who stall out, and why self-awareness is the foundation almost no one invests in enough.Lisa also shares how Field Verified operationalizes culture - from weekly check-ins to real-time recognition - and what changed when she stepped into the direct, no-filter world of construction.But the real shift?Reframing “hard conversations” as the job, not the exception.If you've ever avoided a conversation, you knew you needed to have… this one will hit.00:00 Leadership Not Conflict00:13 Meet Miss Lisa03:36 Why Culture Drives Growth07:24 Internal Customers Matter10:19 Can Leadership Be Taught15:51 Building Leaders at Work21:01 Designing Thriving Culture29:16 Accountability And Coaching33:52 Responsibility Of Leadership35:16 Rewarding Top Performers35:57 Willing Versus Capable36:53 Bad Behavior Spreads38:21 Communication Styles Matter40:00 Praise And Direct Feedback43:09 Building A Praise Culture46:50 Reps For Tough Talks52:56 From Medicine To Construction59:12 Site Visit Perspective Shift01:02:06 Promise And ClosingGet the time management system that will make you dangerously effective: https://www.depthbuilder.com/time-management-webinar-sign-up-pageSubscribe to the Monday Morning Hugs Newsletter for thought provoking topics to accelerate your growth: LinkedIn Newsletter  Download the free PDF copy of Becoming the Promise You are Intended to Be

Episode Overview In this episode, John sits down with Tina Caul for an honest and transformational conversation about leadership growth, emotional intelligence, and building an organization that scales beyond the founder. Tina shares how she hit a leadership ceiling after building one of the top-performing teams at eXp—closing 700–800 deals annually—only to realize the real bottleneck wasn't systems or talent… it was her own leadership lid. This episode dives deep into what it really takes to evolve from leading buyers and sellers to leading leaders. From unpacking personal triggers to implementing structured leadership frameworks like the Pathway of Personal Responsibility, the EQ Matrix, and the Kairos Circle, Tina opens up about the uncomfortable—but necessary—work required to scale to the next level. If you've ever felt stuck at a growth plateau, frustrated with people problems, or unsure how to elevate your organization beyond your own capacity, this conversation will challenge and equip you to level up. Key Topics Covered The Leadership Lid Why every business problem is ultimately a leadership problem Recognizing when you've hit your leadership ceiling Why what got you here won't get you there From Top Producer to True Leader The shift from selling homes to leading people The dangers of "high support, low challenge" environments Why vulnerability builds trust inside organizations Emotional Intelligence & Self-Awareness The EQ Matrix: self-awareness and others-awareness Why leaders must master emotional regulation How unresolved childhood patterns impact leadership decisions The Pathway of Personal Responsibility Understanding triggers and avoiding emotional "pinball" reactions Learning to pause, breathe, and respond instead of react Extreme ownership in leadership The Kairos Circle Framework Turning conflict into growth conversations Creating safe, structured ways to unpack misunderstandings How to prevent resentment from compounding over time Scaling Beyond Yourself Why leaders must build leaders who build leaders The importance of unified language and shared frameworks Moving from checkers to chess as your organization grows Resources & Mentions Leadership Gravitas by Eric Pfeiffer Empower Coaching Podcast Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink Headspace App (mindfulness practice) Concepts discussed: Emotional Intelligence (EQ), Developmental Square, Pathway of Personal Responsibility, Kairos Circle Final Takeaway If your organization has plateaued, it's not a market problem. It's not a talent problem. It's a leadership growth opportunity. The size of your business will always reflect the size of your leadership capacity. And scaling requires more than tactics—it demands self-awareness, emotional maturity, and the courage to confront what's holding you back. Leadership isn't about control. It's about clarity, responsibility, and building leaders who multiply impact beyond you. "Every business problem is a leadership problem."

Welcome back to In the Word with Malcolm Webber!In the western church, Christianity is a personal transaction between the individual and God. Consequently, Christian maturity is also understood in individual terms.

The inward life of Jesus in you is expressed in self-giving love and true servanthood in community. In other words: Christ builds Community!

Tune in as Will Linssen unpacks his journey from engineering to process-driven leadership development, offers data-backed strategies for coaching at scale, and reveals how AI is reshaping the future of leadership. Whether you're a coach, HR leader, or organizational executive, this conversation will reshape how you think about leadership transformation. What We Discuss in This Episode What is "triple win" leadership coaching and why does it matter? Why do most organizations fail to scale effective coaching—and how can that change? The pivotal roles of measurement, consistency, and co-worker feedback What truly drives sustainable leadership growth across an organization? How can coaches create structured AND customized programs for maximum impact? Will Linssen's journey: From industry insider to global coaching influencer The process mindset: Borrowing best practices from other business domains Where coaches, consultants, and organizations are missing the mark (and practical ways to fix it) Leveraging technology and AI for 21st-century leadership development Specific, actionable guidance for coaches growing their practice or impact in companies Podcast Highlights and Timestamps 00:00 – Leadership Is Not About Me, It's About We 01:08 – Scaling Coaching for Real Results 02:06 – Challenges and Solutions 04:00 – Why Classic Coaching Models Fail 05:37 – The Power of Stakeholder Feedback 08:27 – Customizing Leadership for Every Team Member 10:39 – Modeling a Feedback-and-Growth Culture 11:14 – From Industry Frustration to Process-Driven Coaching 13:20 – Building Leaders by Design 16:11 – The Art of Impactful Coaching 19:20 – Training Coaches for the Triple Win 23:33 – A Mindset Shift for Coaches and Organizations 26:43 – The Future of Leadership in the Age of AI Top 10 Takeaways for Triple Win Leadership Coaching Triple win coaching ensures leaders, teams, and business results all improve together. Most traditional coaching fails to deliver measurable, recognized improvement—only 18% of coworkers see change. Involve coworkers in setting leadership goals and gathering feedback for greater engagement, relevance, and results. Structure (a process-driven approach) is essential; it enables, not restricts, customization for every leader and situation. Regular measurement, action planning, and coworker feedback are vital for sustained coaching success. Coaches need both coaching skills and business frameworks - a program that addresses both sets up long-term impact. Leadership transformation is not just for leaders - it must cascade to teams and become part of culture. The process of developing leaders can borrow best practices from operations and project management, ensuring scalability. AI is changing what leaders and coaches need to do - the key shift is leveraging data and feedback to put ideas into action. Lasting transformation depends on taking action. Favorite Quotes On True Leadership: "Leadership is not about the leader. It's not me, it's about we. The more leaders understand that, the more they see coworkers need to be involved." On Results-Based Coaching: "At the end of the day, we're selling results. There's a lot of coaching people sell process, but people want to buy results." On Involving Teams: "If the leader gets better and the team doesn't get better, we're missing the point."  Episode Resources: https://leadersoftransformation.com/podcast/leadership/549-triple-win-leadership-coaching-building-extraordinary-leaders-teams-and-results-with-will-linssen/ Check out our complete library of episodes and other leadership resources here: https://leadersoftransformation.com ________

Are you leading teams across cultures but struggling to understand why brilliant strategies fail and talented people clash? The answer might be simpler than you think, and more complex than you've imagined. What happens when the biggest barrier to global leadership isn't language or logistics, but the invisible assumptions we carry about how work should get done? Maria Angela Calmet has spent over 15 years leading projects across five continents, and she's discovered that the most successful leaders aren't just culturally aware—they're culturally competent. As CEO and founder of Allopoli and author of LIDERESA, Maria Angela has seen firsthand what separates leaders who thrive globally from those who fail spectacularly. Her framework goes beyond surface-level cultural etiquette to address the root systems that drive behavior, decision-making, and trust-building across cultures. In this conversation, Maria Angela reveals why directness in Dutch culture completely transformed her understanding of feedback, how a simple question about an engineer's character in Egypt opened her eyes to relationship-versus-task orientations, and why cultural competence is now listed as a top future skill by the World Economic Forum. But this isn't just about working with international teams. Whether you're navigating subcultures within your own organization or building bridges in your local community, the principles Maria Angela shares will change how you see leadership itself. ⁠https://www.allopoli.com⁠ ⁠Maria Angela Calmet⁠ Here are 5 key insights you can expect from this episode on building cultural competence as a leader: The Tree Analogy Framework - Why focusing on visible cultural differences (the leaves and flowers) while ignoring root beliefs and assumptions leads to persistent conflict and missed opportunities. Four Essential Leadership Competencies - The specific skills Maria Angela has identified through her global experience: effective communication, developing talent, visualizing impact, and thinking in solutions. The Fish Bowl Revelation - How to identify the cultural "water" you're swimming in and recognize unconscious biases that shape your leadership decisions without your awareness. Direct vs. Indirect Communication Reframe - Why Dutch directness taught Maria Angela that clear feedback is actually an act of kindness, and how this insight can transform your approach to difficult conversations. Relationship vs. Task Orientation - A powerful example from Egypt that demonstrates why some cultures prioritize personal character over technical competence, and what this means for building trust in global teams. If you've ever wondered why your best intentions sometimes create the worst outcomes when working across cultures, this conversation will give you the framework to lead with curiosity instead of judgment. The future belongs to leaders who can see the world through multiple cultural lenses—and Maria Angela shows you exactly how to develop that vision. 00:04:08Three Cultures That Shaped a Global Leader 00:06:20Building Allopoli: Creating Communities Across Cultural Differences 00:11:39Why Cultural Competence is the Future of Leadership 00:16:00Task vs Relationship: When Cultural Worldviews Clash in Business 00:20:48Four Essential Leadership Competencies for Global Success 00:25:44Breaking Barriers: Women Leaders in Latin America's Patriarchal Culture 00:33:11From Offense to Understanding: How Dutch Directness Changed Everything 00:37:06Beyond Surface Culture: Understanding the Roots of Cultural Differences What You'll Learn Connect with us: https://www.aworldofdifferencepodcast.com Patreon (for exclusive episodes just for Difference Makers) Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode Need therapy: get 10% off your first month Sign up for Lori's Masterclass on Master the Career Pivot. 10% offf with the code: DIFFERENT Get 50% off your first 2 months with Riverside: Learn more about your ad choices.

10 insider secrets to leverage a team leader for growth, profit, and balance On this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley talks with Emily Sorbi about how law firms break through growth ceilings by developing a strong team leader.

Her story shows what happens when owners invest in values-driven talent and give them the tools to lead. Emily shares ten insider secrets for building leverage through people, systems, and standards so lawyers can focus on revenue work. You will hear how to empower a team lead publicly, set daily check-ins that keep work moving without micromanagement, and protect high performers from burnout.

The conversation gets practical on decision rights and transparency. Emily walks through involving your team lead in hiring, promotions, benefits, and tough personnel calls, including when a high-output but toxic team member needs to go.
