When the ground keeps shifting beneath us, courageous leadership means leaning into what's real; our experience, our humility, and our values. Mary Lynn Fayoumi, President and CEO of HR Source, brings decades of wisdom in workplace culture and HR leadership. She guides organizations through disruption with a clear focus on purpose and people, and she shows us how to do the same. We talk about what it takes to lead right now, when answers aren't clear and the pressure to act feels constant. Courage today looks less like having all the answers and more like pausing to process, listening deeply, and staying grounded in what matters most. It's about creating space for others, knowing your true north, and responding instead of reacting. Mary Lynn reminds us that it's okay not to know everything, and that strength often shows up as steady presence, not quick decisions. We slow down, reflect, and lead with calm, curiosity, and a focus on what truly matters. That's how we move forward together. Highlights 1. Calm Is a Superpower - Learn how to find your center and lead from it—even when everything around you feels chaotic. 2. Authenticity Builds Trust - Being real, showing emotion, and admitting you don't have all the answers creates space for others to do the same. 3. Processing Takes Practice - Hear why leaders need built-in reflection time and how routines can anchor clarity in the middle of noise. 4. Humility Creates Momentum - Letting go of control opens the door to innovation and stronger team engagement. It's about leading with people, not above them. 5. Purpose Is the Compass - When the path is uncertain, returning to your mission helps guide every decision with confidence and care.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”  Joshua 1:9 In the journey of leadership, courage is the compass that guides us through uncertain waters. As Ambrose Redmoon wisely stated, “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.” This quote serves as a powerful reminder that while fear may be present, our commitment to our mission and those we lead must always take precedence.  Reflect on Joshua 1:9, which commands us to "Be strong and courageous." This verse is not just a call to action; it's a promise that God goes with us wherever we lead. There have been moments in my own leadership where courage was essential — times when I had to stand firm in my convictions, even when faced with opposition or uncertainty. In those moments, I learned that true leadership often requires us to embrace vulnerability and act despite our fears. Deuteronomy 31:6 says, "Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or terrified of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” Consider the story of David confronting Goliath. He stood alone against a giant, fueled by faith and the belief that God was on his side. David didn't let fear dictate his actions; instead, he focused on the victory that awaited him. Similarly, we are called to confront our giants — be it difficult conversations, tough decisions, or leading through adversity — with unwavering faith and resolve. Remember, "Bravery in leadership means speaking the truth, even if your voice shakes and the room falls silent." This resonates deeply as we navigate challenges. The truth we speak can inspire and uplift others, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles. We can draw strength from Proverbs 28:1, which says, "The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion." Let this be our anthem as we lead with integrity and courage. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. Prayer for the Day! Heavenly Father, grant us the courage to lead boldly and authentically. Help us to remember that our strength comes from You. May we face our fears with faith and inspire those around us to do the same. Empower us to speak truth and act justly, trusting in Your guidance every step of the way. In Jesus' name, Amen. Remember, dear leaders, you are never alone on this journey; your courage will light the way for others. 

In this bold and honest episode, JM Ryerson sits down with leadership expert Jeff Hancher to tackle one of the toughest challenges today: giving firm feedback in a fragile world. From Jeff's rise as a truck driver to a Fortune 500 leader and entrepreneur, his journey is packed with real lessons on courage, accountability, and transformation.Jeff breaks down the fears that hold leaders back (Fallout, Emotion, Amateur, Retaliation) and offers a mindset shift: stop asking “What if I have this conversation?” and start asking “What if I don't?” You'll hear how tough feedback changed Jeff's life and why leadership is about earning the right to be both candid and caring.Whether you lead a large team or just yourself, this episode will push you to embrace discomfort, see conflict as a growth tool, and lead with strength and heart.Key takeaways:Why firm feedback is the ultimate act of care — and how to deliver it effectivelyThe fears stopping leaders (and how to overcome them)How to stop trading respect for popularityA critical mindset shift that reframes feedback as a gift, not a threatPractical tools to create a culture of growth, not resentmentJeff's personal story of transformation and courageListen now and learn to lead with courage and clarity.

In this truth-bomb-filled episode, I sit down with leadership engagement expert and founder of Take New Ground, Adrian Koehler. Known for his bold mix of tough love and deep compassion, Adrian dives headfirst into the raw truth about what makes leaders effective—not just exceptional. We unpack everything from fear-based leadership and the hidden costs of people-pleasing to building team cultures rooted in truth and commitment (not performance and politics). Adrian also challenges us to question our stories, face our fear, and stop hiding behind comfort and approval. If you're a Christian woman in leadership who's tired of over-functioning, burnout, or leading from a place of fear—this one will shake you up (in the best way). What We Cover: Why effectiveness matters more than being “exceptional” The myth of being “stuck” and how we keep ourselves there How fear is not the enemy—it's an invitation Why most leaders avoid hard conversations and what it costs them The connection between courage, faith, and taking meaningful risks How team culture must be built on commitment, not just competency What Jesus modeled about approval, courage, and disruption Resources Mentioned: TakeNewGround.com Adrian's Instagram: @adrian.k Public Trainings: The Revenant Process and Intrepid Leadership Training   I hope this episode blesses you!

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The battle for religious freedom has reached new heights in Australia as New South Wales enacts legislation making it illegal to pray with someone about their sexuality—even if they explicitly request such prayer. Kurt Mahlburg, Australian writer and senior editor at The Daily Declaration, brings urgent clarity to this troubling development and its implications for believers worldwide.What sounds like dystopian fiction is now reality: Christians face potential criminal charges for practicing fundamental aspects of their faith. Yet amid this encroachment on religious liberty, something unexpected is happening. Young people across Western nations are rejecting progressive ideologies and returning to traditional values. Having witnessed the cultural chaos resulting from removing God from public life, many in Gen Z are seeking stability in time-tested principles. As Mahlburg notes, "Church attendance and belief in the Bible have essentially spiked in the younger generation" in both America and Britain.This generational shift suggests hope for cultural renewal through two pathways: spiritual revival in the traditional sense, and a grassroots return to conservative values among youth. Initiatives like the "Open Windows Letter" (where pastors pledge to defy unjust laws) and the "Australian Creed for Sexual Integrity" (uniting Christians across denominations) demonstrate that resistance is not only possible, but growing.Follow Kurt on X https://x.com/k_mahlburgRead "The future is conservative" By Kurt MahlburgRead Jack's Latest In Crisis Magazine: Young Men, Against All Odds, Are Awakening to the SacredPlease support our sponsored business:  Aim Utility Advisors TJ Lally |  630-990-3400 As a leading company in the energy sourcing and managementindustry, we are committed to empowering your business with efficient,sustainable, and cost-effective energy strategies.  Contact Jack: info@jp2renew.orgSupport the show

In this engaging episode of the Arete Coach Podcast, titled "From Engineering Expertise to Master Chair Leadership," host Severin Sorensen interviews Susan Motkaluk, a visionary leader, Master Chair, CEO, and Board Advisor with TEC Canada. With over 25 years of experience spanning civil engineering, project management, infrastructure innovation, and executive coaching, Susan brings a rich interdisciplinary perspective to leadership excellence. Recognized for her work in sustainable development and awarded for her contributions by the United Nations, Susan shares her insights on coaching, leadership, and building communities of excellence. Susan's journey into executive coaching is a testament to curiosity, resilience, and lifelong learning. An early achiever in engineering and leadership roles, Susan led large groups in the oil sands and public sector positions, including as a Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). Recognizing gaps in leadership tools early in her career, she sought mentors who became instrumental in her growth. Her engineering background, particularly first principles thinking developed at the University of Waterloo, became the cornerstone of her coaching philosophy—encouraging structured problem-solving, curiosity, and assembling diverse teams. Today, Susan channels her passion into leading TEC Canada peer groups, running her company SDM Inc (Sustainable Development and Monitoring), facilitating leadership alignment workshops, and serving on private company boards, helping leaders and communities grow sustainably. Key Insights 1. Coaching Rooted in First Principles and Curiosity. Susan blends engineering problem-solving techniques with deep curiosity, helping clients move beyond surface-level issues to uncover root causes and achieve sustainable success. 2. The Power of Mentorship and Community Building. Susan credits much of her success to mentors she actively sought out. She stresses that leaders must not only create but recognize opportunity—and that belonging and connection are crucial antidotes to the epidemic of loneliness in leadership roles. 3. Alignment as the Heart of Effective Leadership. Building and aligning leadership teams around shared values and purpose is central to Susan's work. She champions “carefrontational” conversations—honest yet compassionate dialogues that drive deeper connections and actionable insights. 4. Courageous Leadership and Authenticity. Susan emphasizes the need for courage in leadership: telling the truth with care, remaining authentic, and making bold decisions even when misunderstood. 5. AI and Decision-Making in Leadership. While recognizing AI's ability to optimize decision-making processes, Susan insists that human intuition, gut instincts, and the spark of original ideas remain irreplaceable. She promotes a balance between data-driven tools and human ingenuity. Memorable Quotes "If you don't know, somebody might know—so keep asking and surround yourself with great people.""You have to see the invisible to do the impossible.""Opportunity is a blessing, but recognizing it is a skill.""Alignment happens when everything clicks—and that's when the real magic starts." The Arete Coach Podcast explores the art and science of executive coaching. You can find more about this podcast at aretecoach.io. This episode was recorded on March 10, 2025.

I recorded this podcast with Anson Frericks, former Anheuser-Busch Executive, about a month ago before Trump took office and began putting the final nails in the coffin of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” (DEI) at the federal level. But, even before that, we saw the decline and predicted the ultimate downfall of DEI initiatives with very notable cases such as the Bud Light fiasco and subsequent boycott. Now, with Target, Amazon, Harley-Davidson, and more notable companies are dismantling these dangerous and destructive ideologies. Today, Anson and I talk about, why we've seen such a huge cultural shift against these policies, why companies truly started these policies in the first place (it wasn't out of the goodness of their hearts), how consumers can take back culture through their purchasing power, and why DEI needs to die once and for all.
