Jeff Hancher is a USA Today bestselling author, executive coach, and veteran. With over two decades of leadership experience in Fortune 500 companies and successful entrepreneurial ventures, Jeff founded Jeff Hancher Enterprises to help leaders unlock their full potential. His coaching focuses on developing high-trust cultures through clear communication, honest feedback, and emotional intelligence. Known for his “firm feedback with heart” philosophy, Jeff empowers leaders and sales professionals to grow their influence and drive lasting results.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Jeff Hancher, bestselling author and executive coach. Jeff introduces a practical leadership framework built on three pillars: clear expectations, regular feedback, and meaningful accountability. The conversation explores how leaders can build trust without being soft and hold people accountable without being harsh. Jeff's insights are packed with real-world examples—from sales management to team dynamics—and his firm-yet-empathetic approach serves as a roadmap for leaders who want to inspire, not just instruct. KEY TAKEAWAYSAuthenticity builds influence—whether in sales or leadership.Selling from the heart means understanding and empathizing with motives, not just pushing products.High-performing teams thrive on trust, which is built through consistency and clarity.Accountability begins with clear expectations and consistent, caring feedback.The most respected leaders are those their teams don't want to disappoint.Pre-call preparation often matters more than pitch delivery.Emotional intelligence transforms tough conversations into growth moments.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESThe goal is not to be a boss people report to. The goal is to be a leader that people don't want to let down.Firm feedback in a fragile world must be delivered in a loving, caring way—iron fist, velvet glove.Sometimes, putting more time into pre-call planning than delivering your pitch is where we need to spend our time.We can literally help people reach their fullest potential—and the hard conversations will be returned with ‘thank you.'

Send us a textWhat version of yourself do you bring to work? To family gatherings? To your closest relationships? For many of us, these questions reveal uncomfortable truths about the different masks we wear throughout our lives.We don't put on these masks with malicious intent. They emerge from our deepest fears—fear of rejection, fear of inadequacy, fear that our authentic selves simply won't be enough. But what begins as self-protection gradually transforms into self-imprisonment. The exhaustion of juggling different personas, remembering which version of yourself you've shown to whom, and constantly monitoring your own behavior creates a crushing weight that few can sustain.The most revealing insight comes when we examine what bothers us in others. That colleague whose arrogance drives you crazy? That friend whose neediness feels suffocating? These triggers often reflect disowned aspects of ourselves—mirrors we'd rather not look into. Taking personal responsibility means asking the harder question: "What's my part in this dynamic?" The reflection may be uncomfortable, but it's where true growth begins.Freedom arrives when we commit to authenticity. One face. One truth. Just you. People intuitively sense incongruence between what you say and who you truly are, even if they can't articulate exactly what feels "off." Consistency builds trust far more effectively than perfection ever could. This week, try having just one honest conversation—with your spouse, your boss, or perhaps most importantly, with yourself. Take off just one mask and notice how much easier it becomes to breathe.

SummaryIn the latest episode of Service Evolution, 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. TransmissionLinksJim Robinson CGP Maintenance and Construction ServicesJosh FoliartMultiply Leader Collective

Can small, meaningful interactions transform leadership and organizational success? Join us as we explore this fascinating question with Zach Mercurio, an authority in purposeful leadership and positive organizational psychology. Through Zach's compelling research, we uncover the concept of "mattering" in the workplace, a crucial element often overlooked amidst traditional rewards like pay raises and promotions. As employees grapple with feelings of invisibility, Zach introduces the idea of a "mattering deficit" and shares his insights on how leaders can create cultures where every team member feels valued and significant, elevating both well-being and performance.Our conversation with Zach also explores the profound impact of genuine care and connection in leadership. We address the distinction between caring about and caring for team members, emphasizing the importance of intentionality in leaders' actions. Unconscious signals can undermine employees' sense of mattering, and Zach provides practical strategies to ensure leaders' good intentions translate into meaningful daily practices. From understanding the role of "soft skills" to recognizing the subtle biases that can lead to complacency, we explore ways to build a supportive environment that fosters true belonging.Finally, we touch upon the critical role of noticing and affirming those we rely on at work. By moving beyond transactional interactions to transformational ones, leaders can create a more inclusive atmosphere. We share techniques like the green, yellow, red check-in to gauge emotional states and Carl Rogers' active listening principles, vital for building meaningful relationships. As we consider the intersection of AI and human connection, this episode promises a thought-provoking discussion on how recognizing and valuing each other can empower teams and, ultimately, transform organizations.What You'll Learn- The critical nuances between caring about and caring for your team- Shifting from transactional to transformational interactions- The significance of emotional connections in communication and decision-making- The paradox of leadership: empowering teams by letting go- The vital role of soft skills and the intersection of AI and human connectionPodcast Timestamps(00:03) – The Power of Mattering (in Leadership)(12:14) - The Importance of Caring for Others(18:36) – What It Truly Means to Notice Someone(27:03) –Small Gestures Can Build Deep Emotional Connections(38:03) – How to Create Psychological Safety(48:02) - Empowering Leadership Through Relinquishing Control(54:29) - Mattering in an AI WorldKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, The Power of Mattering, Maximizing Engagement, Enhancing Well-being, A Culture of Caring, Practicing Empathy, Soft Skills Drive Hard Results, Deep Emotional Connections, Effective Communication, Building Trust, The Perils of Command and Control, Increasing Human Connection, Relational Economy, Creativity, CEO Success

This podcast explores the vital role pharmacists play in addressing misinformation about medications. The discussion covers common sources of misconceptions, strategies for engaging patients in respectful, non-confrontational conversations, and challenges pharmacists face during these conversations. Listeners can learn practical insights on effective communication, the impact of misinformation on patient outcomes, and how health systems can better support pharmacists in promoting accurate, evidence-based medication information.  The information presented during the podcast reflects solely the opinions of the presenter. The information and materials are not, and are not intended as, a comprehensive source of drug information on this topic.

Step into a conversation that goes right to the heart of nonprofit operations: banking relationships, establishing credit, and securing financial footing for long-term stability. Guest Jason Garcia, CEO of Holdings, a bank just for nonprofits, offers real guidance on how nonprofits can think like businesses when it comes to financial credibility and strategy.Jason begins by sharing his vision for HoldingsForGood.com: “Our hope and mission is to be the dedicated partner for nonprofits across the U.S. and help them achieve their goals and increase their chances of success in their missions.” With a career built in community banking and startup finance, Jason brings a sharp perspective to an area where many nonprofits struggle—creditworthiness.The conversation turns to the importance of establishing a credit strategy early. Jason advises that nonprofits should begin as soon as possible, even if they aren't immediately seeking loans or credit lines: “The best time to talk to different credit providers is when you don't need it.”Practical steps emerge throughout the conversation, cohosted by Ellie Hume and Julia Patrick. Building a strong permanent file of organizational documents—EIN, IRS determination letter, bylaws, state registrations—was identified as essential. Ellie emphasizes that many nonprofits have these materials but often can't locate them when needed. Jason describes how physical addresses (not PO boxes) are becoming non-negotiable due to fraud prevention measures, a reminder of how operational details intersect with financial access.This important discussion expands beyond traditional lines of credit. Vendor relationships, government contracts, and reporting to credit bureaus such as Dun & Bradstreet, Experian, and Equifax were positioned as overlooked opportunities to build a financial profile. Ellie points to the frustrations nonprofits face when executive directors are forced to tie personal social security numbers to organizational credit cards.What will be clear is that banking relationships are not just transactional; they're strategic. From choosing the right accounts and systems that sync seamlessly with accounting platforms, to knowing when to push for the removal of personal guarantees, nonprofits must think about finance as a forward-looking strategy rather than an emergency fix.The episode closes with an energizing call from Jason: operate like a business. By being proactive with credit, asking the right questions of financial partners, and benchmarking against peer organizations, you can position your NPO for resilience!Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Stop chasing “one big marketing trick.” If SEO is the only lever you're pulling, you're leaving money on the table—and patients on page two. In this episode, we break down how premium practices win with a whole-practice approach: brand, systems, and a memorable new-patient experience that starts before the first visit. In this episode, I talk with Jackie Ulasewicz-Cullen about moving beyond “rank-at-all-costs” thinking to a comprehensive, measurable growth system. We break down why there's no silver bullet in dental marketing and how an omnichannel mix—reviews, humanized social, targeted Google Ads with single-focus landing pages, and a conversion-ready website—works together. We zoom in on the new-patient experience: rapid responses, pre-visit doctor touchpoints, clear expectations, and thoughtful follow-ups that turn inquiries into trust and treatment. We also spotlight the most neglected profit center in dentistry—retention—and the metrics that reveal whether you're quietly shrinking or sustainably growing. Here's what we talked about in this episode: No silver bullet: SEO is a channel, not a strategy; build a portfolio of levers. Compete smart: In dense markets, SEO is long-term—pair it with Google Ads → single-focus landing pages to capture demand now. Speed-to-lead wins: Reply to forms/chats within minutes; slow responses kill conversion. Doctor touch = trust: A brief pre-visit call/text from the dentist lifts show rate and acceptance. Reviews with heart: Automate requests; dentist closes the loop on negatives—solve first, never ask for removal. Human social > generic posts: Short, educational team videos build connection and assist conversion. Retention is revenue: Track lost/inactive vs new, run reactivation, and educate existing patients on services (“Did you know we offer…?”). Measure what matters: Time-to-response, show rate, case acceptance, production per lead, and churn—not just clicks or calls. — Key Takeaways 00:47 Introduction and Event Announcement 02:10 Meet Jackie Cullen: A Marketing Expert 04:00 Understanding Comprehensive Marketing Strategies 05:30 Misconceptions in Dental Marketing 08:00 SEO in Competitive Markets                                                                                                    11:33 Omnichannel Marketing Approach 14:00 Enhancing the New Patient Experience 17:14 The Importance of Human Connection 19:34 Retention, Relationships, and Reputation 22:35 The Value of Patient Retention 25:50 Social Media and Advertising Strategies 29:50 Building Trust with Marketing Agencies 32:17 The Importance of Agency Involvement 34:15 Lightning Round Q&A 37:55 Conclusion and Resources — Connect with Jackie You can connect with Jackie Ulasewicz-Cullen and her agency through: Website: mydentalagency.com — click the “Schedule a Call” button right on the homepage.

How to Successfully Work with Local Governments: Insights from Shane Silsby of Silsby Strategic AdvisorsIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge talks with Shane Silsby, CEO and Founder of Silsby Strategic Advisors and author of Managing for Meteors: Preparing Local Government Leaders Before the Impact. Shane shares his deep expertise on the evolving local government landscape, the challenges agencies face, and how businesses can position themselves as trusted, long-term partners. Listeners gain practical advice on building authentic relationships, navigating procurement, and offering strategic value beyond just the lowest bid.Building Trust and Value in Local Government PartnershipsShane explains that working effectively with local governments requires a clear understanding of their constraints, workforce challenges, and shifting leadership dynamics. He points to the “silver tsunami” of retirements and the influx of younger leaders as both a challenge and an opportunity for the private sector to bring fresh expertise. Businesses that research agency needs, approach with empathy, and provide specialized knowledge can fill critical gaps in skills and capacity.He emphasizes that procurement at the local level isn't solely about price—it's about qualifications, problem-solving ability, and alignment with the agency's mission. Companies that lead with value, demonstrate a track record of success, and remain engaged beyond a single project are more likely to earn repeat work. Building relationships over time, rather than pushing for quick wins, creates trust and credibility that pays off in the long run.Shane also recommends that businesses tailor their approach to each agency's unique situation, from offering fractional or project-based services to helping with disruption preparedness. He advises proactive engagement, sharing resources, and being honest about capabilities—even referring other providers when it's a better fit. By doing so, businesses position themselves not just as vendors, but as indispensable partners in delivering better outcomes for communities.About Shane SilsbyShane Silsby is the CEO and Founder of Silsby Strategic Advisors and author of Managing for Meteors. With extensive leadership experience in public works and infrastructure, Shane helps local governments and private sector partners prepare for major disruptions, strengthen organizational capacity, and build sustainable solutions for community needs.About Silsby Strategic AdvisorsSilsby Strategic Advisors is a consulting firm specializing in helping local governments navigate disruption, address workforce challenges, and enhance service delivery.

Today's meditation features a special guest, Rohan's 7 year-old son, Arne. Letting go can come in stages, or so Rohan experiences on a recent holiday with his family. As his 7 year-old son Arne builds his swimming skills, Rohan realizes he's gone from an active, hands-on support role, to one of a patient observer. It's in this letting go that both he and Arne can progress, enjoying the freedom and confidence Arne has garnered through his hard work and perseverance. Today's meditation offers us all a chance to practice letting go — knowing that, when the training wheels or floaties come off, we may at first stumble in order to soar.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredibly insightful Rosa Santiago Zimmerman for a rich and wide-ranging conversation about the state of the interior design industry, the evolving nature of creative work, and the deeper values that guide us as professionals. Our dialogue spans everything from our recent experiences at major trade shows like KBIS and IBS to the strategic and emotional challenges that come with building and sustaining a design business today. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home!  - Where service meets excellence TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep Rosa shares how she has navigated an often unpredictable industry landscape—from the 2008 financial crisis to the more recent impact of COVID-19—emerging stronger by focusing on clarity in communication, refining her client base, and anchoring her business in authenticity and trust. We explore her decision to operate by referral only, a bold move that allows her to take on projects that align deeply with her values while maintaining creative control and long-term vision. One of the most resonant parts of our conversation is Rosa's approach to client relationships and project storytelling. She believes that every project begins with truly understanding the people behind it—their story, lifestyle, and what brings them joy. Her philosophy goes far beyond aesthetics; it's about designing spaces that are meaningful, personal, and connected. We also dive into the practical but often overlooked aspects of the business: the need for strong contracts, the complexity of product sourcing in a globalized market, and the legal risks surrounding intellectual property. Rosa doesn't shy away from hard truths. She emphasizes that every line of a contract must be intentional, and every expectation clearly defined to avoid the kinds of misunderstandings that can derail even the most promising projects. I couldn't agree more. As we both acknowledged, there's a growing need in our industry to better educate clients—especially those new to working with designers—so they can become thoughtful, empowered partners in the creative process. Our talk also turns toward education, mentorship, and the next generation of talent. Rosa speaks passionately about the importance of showing children—and especially young Latinas—that the design industry can be a space for them. Her journey from a background in medicine to a thriving creative career is a powerful reminder that following one's passion is not only possible, but necessary. We discuss the lack of business training in design schools, and how that gap often leaves talented creatives unprepared for the realities of entrepreneurship. Rosa's upcoming book, which touches on the idea of discovering one's “superpower,” promises to be an inspiring resource for aspiring designers and leaders alike. Throughout our conversation, I was struck by Rosa's clarity, generosity, and refusal to compromise on what matters. We also talk about future collaborations and visits—from potentially recording a future episode in Atlanta to attending next year's KBIS event in Orlando. I'm hopeful for the opportunities ahead and grateful for the chance to share this honest, inspiring exchange. This episode is for anyone who's passionate about design, business, and the human stories that fuel creativity. Whether you're a seasoned professional, a student, or just curious about what it takes to build something meaningful in a fast-changing world, I think you'll find a lot to take away from this one. And we'll get to it, right after this. Thank you, Rosa, loved our chat and grateful to have run into you at KBIS! And, of course, thank you to our amazing partners: TimberTech, Pacific Sales, and Design Hardware. These are incredible companies and true friends of the trade.

When I sat down with Caelyn Caulfield, I knew this conversation would hit home for so many coaches, parents, and athletes. As a varsity basketball head coach and future school counselor, she's bringing the grief recovery tools she's learned into the gym, the classroom, and her everyday life with students. What stood out most to me is how intentional she is about giving her team space to process emotions—not just run plays. Too often, coaches and parents expect kids to "shake it off" or hide their feelings when they miss a shot, lose a game, or face personal struggles. But as Caelyn shared, those unresolved emotions don't disappear—they follow kids into the next practice, the classroom, and even into adulthood. By creating weekly team meetings that focus on themes like trust, she's building stronger athletes and healthier young women who know it's okay to feel and process life as it comes. This episode is a call to action for every coach, teacher, and parent: emotions aren't a distraction from the game—they're the foundation of growth. Whether you're on the field, in the dugout, or at home cheering in the stands, we all have a responsibility to model emotional health for the next generation. I think you'll walk away from this conversation inspired to lead with more compassion and intentionality—on and off the court.   Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction to Unresolved Emotions 01:39 - Caelyn Caulfield's Journey to Certification 04:09 - Applying Emotional Tools in Coaching 08:23 - Creating a Safe Space for Emotions 12:24 - The Importance of Vulnerability in Sports 16:11 - Building Trust and Team Dynamics 20:34 - The Work Behind Emotional Coaching 24:37 - Navigating Change and Grief in Teams 33:19 - Navigating Emotions in Youth Sports 36:09 - Building Relationships and Accountability 39:28 - Understanding Grief in Young Athletes 43:41 - The Impact of Unfinished Business on Coaching 48:05 - Connecting with Students in Detention 54:40 - Emotional Engagement in Coaching and Life   Cole James, President of the Grief Recovery Institute, shares about the Power of Grief Recovery! Cole is dedicating his life to help people with grief. Now, grief is much more than just losing someone. Did you know that? You've probably heard of the Five Stages of Grief, right? Well, this goes much deeper than you think. Let me explain. Everyone has some type of grief in their lives, some haven't yet, but it's part of life. We can't escape it, BUT we can work through it. And you don't have to do it alone. Let's talk about it. We have trained Grief Recovery Method Specialists, who help heartbroken people, in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, the Middle East, Central America, South America, and North America. The Grief Recovery Method Certification Program is taught and available in multiple languages including: English, Spanish, Swedish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, and Russian. Our home office is in the United States and serves English-speaking nations and populations around the world, such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and the Commonwealth Nations.

Send us a textCraig Randall shares his trust-based coaching model for educators, which integrates trust-building into the observation and feedback process. The model uses regular, strengths-based classroom visits and reflective conversations to create a safe environment for teacher growth. By focusing on teachers' strengths and fostering open dialogue, the approach encourages risk-taking and collective teacher efficacy. Resources and the observation form can be found at trustbased.com.John Hattie endorsed Trust Based Observations as well: "Classroom observation can lead to telling teachers to do what I did, to advocating different ways of teaching, and to complying with accountability edicts. Trust-Based Observations starts where it matters, establishing trust, building on strengths, focusing on the impact of teachers on the learning lives of students, showing how to have open conversations about learning, and demonstrating collective teacher efficacy in action." -John HattieThe Resistance Remedy On Demand Course: https://www.thewholeeducator.com/resistance-remedyLet's Stay Connected!Website | Instagram | Twitter | Linkedin | Facebook | Contact Us

I've been a father for 13 years at this point.     And beyond learning how to be a better person, came the challenge of becoming a better father, but there's a simple fact you have to remember as a parent.....   We don't stop growing when we become parents.    And we don't stop growing when the kids leave the house at 18.    This is a lifelong journey we take with our children.    Year 8 is going to be different from year 13.     Year 13 is going to be different from year 17.    Experiences, challenges, and lessons are all products of the parent-child relationship.    And guess what, you'll never completely master it as long as you are continuing to build upon the solid foundation you established.    If the foundation is wobbly right now, assess where you can make changes.     Be better.    Be patient.    Invest the time to teach with compassion.    Show them the right way and the best way to do things.    If you don't know what is the right way, think about the parents you respect the most.    They'll share their secrets.     Whatever you do, don't quit.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Influence is a force that weaves its way through every layer of our organizations and lives. Yet its true essence, what gives it power and meaning, often lies beneath the surface, quietly shaping outcomes not through authority or force, but through trust, connection, and presence. In this episode, Ali Schultz sits down with fellow Coach Courtney Joyce for a deep and candid conversation about what it means to influence others, whether you're early in your career, leading cross-functional teams, or navigating challenges as an executive. Together, they explore how true influence is more akin to building bridges than issuing commands; it's about leveraging credibility, reliability, and, perhaps most crucially, vulnerability. From understanding the unwritten rules of your organization to building genuine relationships and balancing assertiveness with warmth, this conversation traces the inner work required for authentic influence.

When consumer trust is more fragile than ever, how can brands, particularly in highly scrutinized categories like infant nutrition, utilize the latest approaches to not only build trust but also deepen consumer relationships? Agility requires not only adapting to evolving consumer expectations and technological advancements but also maintaining ethical and transparent practices, especially when dealing with sensitive topics such as infant health. It also demands a willingness to experiment, learn, and iterate quickly in response to market feedback and emerging trends. Today, we're going to talk about building trust in a digital age, navigating the complexities of launching a purpose-driven CPG brand, and redefining what “healthy” means for a new generation of parents. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Meika Hollender, Chief Marketing Officer at Nara Organics.
