In this episode of the Lead Culture Podcast, Jenni Catron kicks off our Summer of Leadership series by spotlighting the most overlooked but foundational leadership skill: self-leadership.

Feeling stuck? In this episode of Leading in Dentistry, we explore four simple but powerful tools to help you break out of a slump—two questions and two quotes that have helped me (and many others) regain momentum in both clinical work and leadership. Whether you're overwhelmed with too many priorities or just low on energy, these prompts can help you cut through the fog, clarify what matters most, and take that next right step.You'll hear real-world examples from my own dental practice: how defining what “done” looks like helped us fix hygiene handoffs, how a single question turned around our team morale, and how facing uncomfortable truths—like enforcing onboarding protocols or committing to performance reviews—created lasting change.

He has a really unique perspective, helping people understand how the principles of cybersecurity and problem-solving can be applied to personal and professional growth. His career has advanced him from a professional hacker for the CIA to commissioner on cybersecurity for the 44th president of the United States to currently advising companies and teaching professionals on how to implement security measures that serve as a business enabler. His eighth book, Cyber Crisis, debuted as number one on the Wall Street Journal's bestseller list.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anyone looking to strengthen their digital security measures.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…we all know cybersecurity is important, but we often underestimate how these principles can enhance our decision-making, relationships, and leadership. Dr. Eric Cole shows us how adopting a hacker's mindset can help us spot blind spots before they become problems.    KEY TAKEAWAYS: Friendly hackers can expose your weaknesses before adversaries do. Good user hygiene is more effective than relying only on technology. Pausing before reacting can prevent regret.  Privacy will be the biggest concern (and opportunity) in the AI era.    WHAT I LOVE MOST…Dr. Cole's reminder that slowing down, asking questions, and being intentional can protect not just your data, but your relationships and reputation too.   Running Time: 25:30    Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Eric Online: LinkedIn   Eric's Book: Cyber Crisis: Protecting Your Business from Real Threats in the Virtual World

The principal theme of this podcast episode centres on the notion that mere job performance is insufficient for career advancement. I engage in a dialogue with Andrea Wasserman, founder of Executive Express, who elucidates the invisible rules that govern professional progression, particularly for new graduates. Andrea emphasizes the critical importance of communication and executive presence, asserting that individuals must actively showcase their achievements to cultivate recognition in increasingly competitive environments. Furthermore, we explore the concept of "style flexing," which entails adapting one's approach based on the dynamics of the workplace. This conversation serves as a vital resource for listeners seeking to enhance their influence and navigate the complexities of career development effectively.Links referenced in this episode:theexecutiveexpress.comlinkedin.com/in/andreawassermaninstagram.com/theexecutiveexpresstiktok.com/@theexecutiveexpresssubstack.com/@theexecutiveexpressWant help creating your own podcast?

In this episode of Tim Stating the Obvious, we tackle one of the most urgent leadership issues of our time: the growing mental health crisis among today's youth and young professionals. Based on Jonathan Haidt's provocative book, The Anxious Generation, we break down how smartphones and social media rewired childhood, stunted emotional resilience, and left a generation more anxious, less connected, and struggling in the workplace. But here's the catch—this isn't just a parenting problem. It's a leadership challenge. As Gen Z enters the workforce, their struggles with screen addiction, face-to-face discomfort, and emotional fragility show up in team dynamics, productivity, and culture. If you want to lead effectively in the modern age, you've got to understand what's happening beneath the surface. We'll unpack Haidt's core recommendations—like limiting screen time, encouraging unstructured outdoor play, and promoting real-world challenges—and translate them into actionable leadership strategies. From building grit in your team to designing environments that foster emotional maturity and deep work, this episode shows you how to lead with empathy, awareness, and intention. Whether you're a CEO, educator, coach, or parent-turned-manager, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you support growth and resilience in the people you lead. Key Topics: 1. Why Gen Z is struggling—and how that affects your workplace 2. Haidt's “rewiring” theory of adolescence and tech 3. How to develop grit without micromanaging 4. The case for real-world collaboration and deep work 5. Leadership strategies that build resilience, not fragility Connect with Tim: Website: timstatingtheobvious.com Facebook: facebook.com/timstatingtheobvious YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCHfDcITKUdniO8R3RP0lvdw Instagram: @TimStating TikTok: @timstatingtheobvious #JonathanHaidt  #TheAnxiousGeneration #bookreview #leadership #GenZ #mentalhealth #digitalculture #parentingadvice
