What does it take to truly transform and lead authentically? Paul Glover knows. Once a successful trial attorney, his life unraveled due to choices that led to federal prison. But from the depths of failure, Paul emerged not only as a survivor but as a powerhouse coach for C-suite executives. His journey is raw, unfiltered, and deeply inspiring, blending lessons of humility, resilience, and hard-won wisdom. Paul's story is one of dramatic reinvention. Prison, he says, saved his life and softened his perspective, forcing him to confront blind spots and triggers that once drove destructive behavior. Today, his “No BS” coaching method empowers leaders to tackle their echo chambers and embrace failure as a growth tool. From offering money-back guarantees to positioning himself as a modern-day “fool” who tells leaders the hard truths, Paul's approach is anything but conventional. Leadership, Paul argues, demands the courage to fail and the humility to learn. His coaching and speaking emphasize resilience, not just to bounce back but to bounce forward. Drawing parallels to psychological safety and historical figures like the court jester, Paul challenges leaders to seek and trust those who hold them accountable, creating space for transformation. The key? Being brutally honest—with themselves and their teams. Paul's message is a wake-up call to leaders everywhere: true leadership isn't about being perfect; it's about embracing imperfection and turning failure into fuel for growth. With humor, candor, and authenticity, Paul Glover inspires audiences to rethink success and take bold, transformative steps forward. Three Key Takeaways: • Transformation Through Failure: Paul Glover's journey from a successful attorney to a convicted felon and then a sought-after coach highlights the power of embracing failure as a tool for personal and professional growth. He demonstrates how confronting blind spots and taking accountability can lead to profound transformation. • Authentic Leadership Requires Honesty: True leaders need to break out of echo chambers and surround themselves with people who provide honest, unfiltered feedback. Paul's approach as the “No BS” coach underscores the importance of humility, self-awareness, and the willingness to hear hard truths. • Resilience Goes Beyond Recovery: Leadership isn't just about bouncing back; it's about bouncing forward. Paul emphasizes resilience as the ability to learn from failures and turn them into opportunities for growth, fostering a leadership style that is both dynamic and transformative. Instead of running from his past Paul has put it forward as part of his authentic self.  When you present your thought leadership are you being authentic or just trying to go viral?  Check out this short video by Peter Winick to discover why being your real self is more important.

Every employee knows what it's like to have a leader come in hot with a fresh vision and throw current plans out the window. Unfortunately, this kind of chaos breeds organizational instability. Today on True North Leader, Shawn Lovejoy, tells us that new leaders have a hard time discerning between opportunity and distraction. He knows this from personal experience. He and Bobby pinpoint lies that hold leaders back, like being defensive around feedback, believing the next stage will fix today's problems, and why leaders need to find their "why." Tune in for what leaders need to stay focused, energized, and aligned with their team.  About the guest: Shawn Lovejoy is the Founder & CEO of CourageToLead.com and Courageouspastors.com, where they help leaders and their teams grow stronger and faster through 1:1 coaching.

Leadership legend Sam Chand still remembers when Shawn told him, “When I hand off this church I want to do what you're doing.” In fact, Sam remembers the restaurant where the exchange happened… And that's one of the things that makes leaders like Sam Chand great— they see big vision but they drill it down by paying attention to the one person sitting in front of them. In this episode Sam talks about pastors. Right now, shepherds are tired, he says. “They're frazzled. Fatigued.” Furthermore, this has nothing to do with their love for Jesus, but the season they've just endured. (Sometimes, we need to realize that— the environment we're in actually affects us in ways disproportional to the time involved.) Pastors had to make fast decisions throughout the pandemic, and— as Sam says, “Regardless of the decision you made, you'll be wrong with 50% of the people.” The “no-win” scenario many pastors faced was much like quicksand… “The more you struggle to get out, the more you get sucked in…” This leads us to four observations— #1 = Pastors (and their teams) face disengagement and disillusionment: * 70% of their staff members disengaged during the past 18 months (and are not hiding it), according to Gallup. * 30% are still deciding what to do next In other words, EVERYONE seems to be in a state of limbo. #2 = Staff conflict has increased. A lot of this has to do with the changes people have endured, and a lot has to do with the fatigue + frazzle we mentioned earlier. In a real sense, there's no way to have endured the past 18 months and NOT have changed. And that always leads to relational tensions which must be addressed. #3 = “Help Wanted.” You see the signs everywhere— in shopping malls, at restaurants, at coffee shops, at movie theaters… Even in volunteer (and staff) positions in churches, we see the signs. Many people returned to church, but they didn't return to their previous ministry posts. Ushers. Greeters. Kids' workers. Parking lot attendants… The needs have actually increased— not decreased. We're doing far more with much less. #4 = The professional to personal pivot… Sam notes that many leaders who used look only at organizational metrics (i.e., “the numbers” of nickels and noses) are now asking questions about themselves— about their health, their marriage, and the things they may have previously neglected. “Leaders can become so driven that they overlook these important personal issues,” he says. Notably, this is a POSITIVE pivot— leaders must become more self-aware. This includes asking tough questions— like “What brings us LIFE?” Is it the ministry? Or external feedback? Are we doing, as Jeremiah warned, drinking soul-water from empty cisterns, from things that can't satisfy (Jeremiah 2:13)? The reality is that the externals— the “things” we're often tempted to feed to our soul for meaning— won't be there on our deathbeds. No one, in their final days, wishes they spent more time on stage, more time on a plane, or more time in a hotel… It's important to remember, Sam says, “If you die on a Saturday, they will hold churches on the next day…” Shawn adds, “Prioritize people who will come see you in the cemetery.” In reality, most pastors don't. They tend to push those people out to focus on the ones who won't….   During this season, Sam focuses on two things— #1 = Creating content (like the new magazine and podcast he just released— links below) #2 = Influencing influencers (through venues like speaking on this podcast and connecting with leaders like you).   In closing, he reminds us of four truths— #1 = You are not alone. You might feel that way, but you're one of many (1 Kings 19:18). #2 = There is nothing wrong with you. You've just endured (and are on the tail end) of a strange season, one in which many people feel exactly like you do. #3 = God knows the times and seasons (Acts 17:26). He entrusted you with this epoch (Esther 4:14). He did so, because He has great confidence in you… #4 = You're probably thinking in new ways (i.e., the professional to personal pivot), and even pondering things about yourself. Don't run from those ideas just because you've endured a difficult time period. Trust the Holy Spirit and competent counsel to lead you.       ++++++++++++ Links for the show Sam Chand's website: https://www.samchand.com/  Avail Magazine = https://www.theartofleadership.com  Avail Podcast = https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/avail-podcast/id1521323044  https://twitter.com/samchand  https://www.instagram.com/samchandleadership    Courage to Lead resources: Help with processes = www.GearsOfGrowth.com  Staff / Teams course = www.TeamsCrashCourse.com  Schedule a free strategy session = www.CourageToLead.com/strategy   

Bil Cornelius is one of the church leaders— a church planter— who paved the way for others. As Shawn points out in this episode of The Courageous Pastors Podcast, Bil— * Used direct mail and actually marketed the church (against the wit of some naysayers) * Hosted spontaneous baptisms Because of this, amidst his innovative approach, he's not a stranger to criticism. How do you deal with critics? Bil says, “The devil can't steal your gifts, so he wants to take your confidence.” Think about that one. And how hesitating in your calling can keep you from pushing forward into the role God has— in His grace— fore-ordained for you (Ephesians 2:8-10). If the devil can rip away your confidence, he can stalemate you in your calling… This leads us to a posture of prayer— of extended times with the Father. Bil prays for an hour a day. At least. And sometimes he does it while he's walking, so he can talk to God out loud and not get distracted. He admits, “I don't pray long hours because I'm so spiritual, I pray long hours because I'm not…” And— “It's not about the quantity time of prayer, it's about finding the quality WITHIN that quantity…” That is, he explains that God often shows up in a special way, in some subset of those minutes, some unique time that makes the entire time extremely valuable. Bil talks, too, about the importance of learning from mentors: “Information is cheap,” he says. “Especially today. But what's not cheap is relationship and connection.” He counsels leaders to learn from others, but to still “be you,” that is, not to lose the confidence if your own calling. Don't be a copycat; resist the temptation to be a clone. Replicate the principles you learn amidst those relationships but execute your unique call— because you can't duplicate someone else's anointing (nor can they copy yours). One of the biggest lessons of this post-pandemic season? We are learning NOT to worship at the feet of numbers. That's always been a tendency for church leaders. “Preach in season and out of season,” Paul tells us (2 Timothy 4:2). “This is,” Bil says, “an out of season season.” And, it's a time in which we need to realize that the “numbers” we have not ARE the actual numbers. In a sense, we're not at 50% or 70% or whatever-% of our capacity… we're at a new 100%. And that's OK. You've grown “the numbers” before, so you can do it again… Sure, the numbers are important. They represent real people. But, we need to focus on the things that really matter— * Your marriage * Your children * Your health (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) If you have these, you're “winning” in life AND in ministry…   ++++++++ Links for today's talk = Church Unlimited = https://churchunlimited.com/  Bil on TikTok = The Praying Pastor Instagram = https://www.instagram.com/BilCornelius/  Twitter = https://twitter.com/bilcornelius  Schedule a free strategy session at www.CourageToLead.com/strategy    

Clayton King preaches most weekends at NewSpring Church in South Carolina, he leads Clayton King Ministries, and he's written 17 books (the latest one being released during the pandemic). But than that, he's a normal guy who loves Jesus. He likes to go outdoors, and he rides a motorcycle with a random playlist to clear his mind.   In this talk he begins by discussing the Good-Fast-Cheap Pyramid. “You can choose 2 out of the 3,” he says, “but not all three.” The problem is that we've got to make sure we choose the right 2— and that involves recognizing the season we're in… Think about it… If you want fast and cheap, the work will be shoddy. A contractor you hire with this approach will give you a “rush job,” then move to the next project. The work won't be good, but it will be done. If you want cheap and good, it's not going to be fast. It will take some time. A contractor you hire here will squeeze you in when they can, most likely doing bits and pieces of your job around other projects that are making them the big bucks. The work will be cheap, good… and slooowwwww. If you want good and fast, it won't be cheap. The contractor will postpone every other item on their calendar and stay up all night making sure your job gets done. They'll focus like a laser, making sure you get what you want— and that you're happy. But you'll pay handsomely for it. The project will be good, fast… and expensive.   Here's the tension-- We want to grow fast, but anything that's unhealthy ALSO replicates when you move fast. So, we must keep the Good-Fast-Cheap pyramid in mind. When things move fast, we often miss some things which seem insignificant in the moment…. * What time you wake up * Your exercise routine * How you order the first moments of you day * Making time for the people who matter the most (your family) * The time you go to bed It's easy to allow the important things to slip and slide during a rapid season of growth. However, these are the things which sustain us, and so they must be prioritized— even if that means intentionally slowing down. Look back at the contractor example above— they put everything else off in the third option (good and fast) in order to finish you job. But they did so at the expense of other projects, as we often do in ministry. Therein lies the problem.   Clayton reminds us not to simply measure “fast fruit” but “faithful” and “long-lasting” fruit. In order to sustain ministry, you've got to build structures and systems… as well as care for your own soul. We see Jesus do this, by the way. He routinely slipped away from the masses (and did the “slow down, slow grow”), as well as told those he healed not to tell people who He was. Take the Sabbath. Pause and enjoy your family. Stop and enjoy the life you've been given…   ++++++++++++ Links for this show— Clayton's website: https://www.claytonking.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clayton_king/ Clayton's newest book, Reborn: https://amzn.to/3mHI6nv Schedule a strategy session with Courage to Lead: www.CourageToLead.com/strategy

It's a simple word. In 20+ years of coaching it's also the thing we see missing most often in leaders, teams and organizations. What is it? Accountability. Most leaders don't need another podcast, another book or another conference… they need accountability. Strategies and systems work when we are accountable to another person to execute them. In this episode Shawn introduces you to part of the CourageToLead coaching framework: The 5 Pillars of Accountability.

On the heels of CourageToLead's first conference, CourageToLead LIVE, Shawn shares some of what he took away from the experience. The conference was a sellout, a success, and a help to everyone who attended. And while you may have heard it said that, “Leaders are learners", that learning wasn't reserved for those who attended the conference, but for Shawn as well. J oin this episode where he unpacks the things he learned at his own conference.

If you're like most people, January goal setting looks a little like this: You choose a problematic behavior or some undesirable habits that have plagued you for years and vow to reverse it. This typically results in some “New Year's Resolutions”...most of which are off your radar by February. To break this cycle, and propel you to new growth in 2020, I want to challenge you to lose the long list of changes you want to make during the year and instead pick One Word. Clarify your win by taking all your big plans and narrowing them down into a single focus. One word that centers on your character and creates a vision for your future. In this episode of the CourageToLead Podcast with Shawn Lovejoy, we are giving you our "one word" at CourageToLead. We're doing this to help you discover your one word, but also because ours has a lot to do with you!

Enjoy this conversation with Lauren Sisler on Overcoming in Life & Leadership! ++++   Lauren Sisler is a multi national award-winning sports broadcaster working with ESPN, the SEC Network, and AL.com. Her journey was not always full of victories and celebrations.

Through her grief and despair, Lauren found the courage to continue moving forward and find success. Lauren now shares her story across the country in hopes of spreading awareness about the dangers of addiction and the devastation it can cause for those who abuse substances, their loved ones, and the community. ==================

Change is inevitable. You are either responding to changing variables around you or you are initiating change within the organization you lead. While it's necessary, don't get me wrong, change is hard! Most people don't like change. I've seen leaders fumble the process of leading this for years. In this episode Shawn sits down with close friend, and CourageToLead.com Coach, George Davis. In this conversation, they highlight how to institute change in a healthy way.  Along with his wife, April, George lives in Jacksonville, FL where he leads twelve Impact Church locations across the East coast, Texas, and PERU. During a period of plateaued growth, George led Impact Church through major strategic and stylistic change resulting in exponential growth. Today Shawn talks with George about navigating changes while keeping the organization healthy and keeping himself sane, centered and married!

Sometimes, we can recognize when it's time to make a change before anyone else does, especially when we realize that what once used to energized us no longer brings us energy. That realization happened to Shawn Lovejoy, founder and CEO of CourageToLead.com. Shifting from real estate to church, and then from church to coaching and consulting, Shawn has taken multiple leaps in his journey towards finding the path he is destined to be in. Providing comfort to those on the same course, Shawn describes how the guilt that we feel when our hearts shift is used by God to help us overcome the fear to be able to shift into our destiny.

Shawn Lovejoy of CourageToLead.com has coached a lot of pastors and church teams. In this interview, he gives practical tips for building a healthy culture, a healthy team, and put effective systems in place to allow growth in your church.

Shawn Lovejoy is the author of The Measure of Our Success: An Impassioned Plea to Pastors and Be Mean About the Vision: Preserving and Protecting What Matters.  He is a church planting veteran, having planted Mountain Lake Church in Cumming, GA, which he recently stepped away from after 16 years to focus on coaching leaders and pastoring pastors at www.CourageToLead.com.  Noah Filipiak interviews Shawn about his transition away from his church plant, about the epidemic of church planters with non-Christlike goals, the denominations that push these goals, and the walls pastors hit when their disillusionment catches up with them.  Noah and Shawn both share their own struggles in these areas, with Shawn giving great wisdom from the hundreds of church planters and pastors he has coached over the years in these areas.
