He urges leaders to model the behavior they want to see, using tools like “I” statements, setting ground rules, and staying focused on the issue—not the person. His advice applies beyond marriage to leadership, churches, and workplaces, improving relationships by at least 50% when practiced consistently.  Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbook Download The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader™ Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader™ Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com  #leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us a text

Choose love over fear. It's more than a feel-good mantra. It's a radical leadership choice that can transform teams, ignite innovation, and turn crisis into opportunity. Washington Speakers Bureau President Ryan Heil has built his career proving that love, not fear, is the real competitive advantage in business and life. In this episode of Reflect Forward: Advice for Leaders, I sit down with Ryan to unpack how this philosophy has shaped his journey from professional baseball to earning a PhD in organizational culture, co-authoring Choose Love Not Fear with his father, and leading a major turnaround at one of the most influential organizations in the speaking industry. We explore why choosing love over fear creates stronger teams, deeper trust, and cultures that can adapt to disruption—plus how Ryan and his team navigated the pandemic's devastating impact on the speaking industry to emerge stronger than ever. Key Takeaways: • Love is a leadership strategy – Choosing love over fear builds trust, engagement, and sustainable performance. • Fear-based leadership fails in the long run – It may get short-term compliance, but it erodes creativity, passion, and loyalty. • Creative abrasion fuels innovation – Healthy conflict, when guided with respect, produces better ideas and stronger solutions. • Culture change starts one belief at a time – Turnarounds require relentless clarity on values, vision, and “why.” • Relationships are the real currency – They outlast trends, technologies, and even market disruptions. • Crisis is a catalyst for reinvention – Use uncertainty to question old assumptions and build better ways forward. • Your team may not always love you back – But consistent, steady leadership earns respect and trust over time. Mic Drop Moments: • “It's easy to lead with fear. But fear makes us dumber. Love unleashes human potential.” • “We don't have speaker contracts—we have handshakes. Integrity is the glue that holds our relationships together.” • “Success is temporary. So is failure. The real skill is knowing how to pivot fast.” • “AI can recommend a speaker, but it can't tell you who will stay after the keynote to shake every hand.” • “Love your team even when they don't love you back. That's leadership.” Connect with Ryan: • Connect with Ryan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanmheil/ • Learn more about Washington Speakers Bureau: https://www.wsb.com/ • Get the book Choose Love Not Fear: https://www.amazon.com/Choose-Love-Not-Fear-Engagement/dp/1734105135 Connect with Kerry Don't forget to subscribe to Reflect Forward on your favorite podcast platform or YouTube.

You're not alone. This fundamental tension exists in every business and personal development journey. Most entrepreneurs, clinicians, and professionals fall into one of two problematic approaches. Some try implementing everything simultaneously – throwing spaghetti at the wall without focus or follow-through. Others spend years trying to perfect ideas before launching, afraid of what might go wrong. The secret to extraordinary results lies in combining these seemingly contradictory approaches. The most successful businesses implement ideas immediately but perfect them slowly. They launch quickly, embrace early imperfections, then commit to relentless, methodical improvement through consistent practice. As one powerful example, Brian shares how some businesses and dental practices would spend an entire year mastering just phone training, implementing ideas immediately but practicing weekly until excellence became automatic. This approach works across industries – from five-star hotels and Michelin restaurants to healthcare practices and beyond. This disciplined focus is harder than ever in our distraction-filled world. With human attention spans now shorter than goldfish (just 1.3 seconds for Gen Z!) and over 10,000 marketing messages bombarding us daily, the ability to maintain relentless focus on improvement has become a genuine superpower. Whether you're growing a business, advancing your career, or pursuing personal goals, this hybrid approach delivers transformative results. Implement fast, perfect slowly, and watch as you leave the competition behind. Ready to transform your approach?

Danny Wallace, your Great Leader has time-slipped. Don't for a second try telling him he hasn't, because he won't like it.

“College-football playbooks weren't half as tough as the leadership drills Marc Nudelberg just put me through.”Former Division-I coach-turned-performance strategist Marc Nudelberg sat across from me and proved that the grit it takes to build championship teams on Saturday is the exact same grit businesses need at 7 a.m. Monday.  From becoming the NCAA's youngest coordinator at 26, to re-engineering sales cultures with his firm On The Ball, Marc has turned the locker-room 1% rule, get a little better every day, into a bottom-line growth engine that works long after the stadium lights go out.Marc explains why discipline beats talent once you hit the pros, how to reverse-engineer giant goals into today's non-negotiable behaviors, and the boundary system he uses to protect his three priorities: self-care, family, and the business.

I had the hotels booked, flights locked in, the team prepped, and the agenda ready to roll. Everything was in motion for three back-to-back events—and then, I got sick.In this episode, I'm opening up about a hard leadership moment: the decision to postpone events I had poured months of energy into. It was uncomfortable. It was humbling. And it taught me one of the most powerful lessons I've learned in 20 years of business:The plan is just the roadmap—the vision is the destination. And when the plan no longer aligns, it's time to pivot.This episode is your permission slip to pivot without guilt, pause without shame, and protect your energy without apology.

How often do we think of leadership not just as a set of skills, but as a reflection of our character? Kevin welcomes Meredith Bell to explore the often-overlooked connection between leadership effectiveness and character skills. Meredith highlights the importance of focusing on "who we are being" as leaders, not just what we are doing. Kevin and Meredith discuss why character isn't fixed and how it can be intentionally developed over time. She introduces the 36 character skills, grouped into three core areas: building a stronger self, building stronger relationships, and building a stronger work ethic. Meredith offers practical strategies for developing patience with ourselves, with others, in everyday situations, and during life's big, uncertain moments.

Distancing: How Great Leaders Reframe to Make Better Decisions by L. David Marquet, Michael A. Gillespie https://www.amazon.com/Distancing-Leaders-Reframe-Better-Decisions/dp/0593713109 Distance gives you perspective. Bestselling author of Turn the Ship Around! former US Navy Captain David Marquet and professor of psychology Michael Gillespie show you how to make better decisions by becoming your own coach. Be yourself. Be fully present. Be in the moment. This is a message we hear constantly. While this may be beneficial some of the time, the biggest obstacle to making wiser decisions that actually drive lasting success is ourselves. Being fully immersed in our own limited point of view biases our decisions toward defending our previous actions and maintaining our self-image. We need to exit our me-here-and-now self and get an outside perspective that sees us and the situation we are in objectively. We need a coach. This book shows us how to become our own coach by using a mental technique called psychological distancing. We do this in three ways: self-distancing, spatial distancing, and temporal distancing. First, we can be someone else, inhabiting another's perspective. This activates the neutral observer's outside point of view. Second, we can be somewhere else. We zoom out and see ourselves from afar, as just another person who is part of a larger context. Third, we can be sometime else, imagining that we are our future selves who are thinking back to what we wish we had done today. In each case, we can coach ourselves from this distanced perspective. The result is a powerful and immediate reframe of how we see ourselves, our situation, and what we should do. Featuring compelling scientific research, business cases, and exercises, Distancing equips us with effective practical tools to reduce anxiety, see more clearly, and make better decisions for ourselves and for our organizations.

Every great leader has a powerful story, but how effectively you tell that story can define your success. Don Yaeger, renowned Hall of Fame keynote speaker, executive coach, and twelve-time New York Times bestselling author, believes storytelling is the secret to exceptional leadership and high-performing teams. From his time as an associate editor at Sports Illustrated to his current role as host of the acclaimed podcast “The Corporate Competitor,” Don has built his career by helping leaders harness the transformative power of stories to inspire, connect, and drive momentum. After meeting Don at the Real Leaders Unite Summit, I was captivated by his ability to connect with his audience. In this week's episode, Don shares insights into mastering storytelling, leveraging momentum, and creating cultures that foster team success. Get ready to learn how your powerful stories can elevate your leadership and team performance. Key Takeaways: • Storytelling is not innate; it's a skill anyone can master with intentional practice and coaching. • Deeply knowing your audience significantly amplifies your impact as a leader. • Exceptional teams consistently create “feel-it” moments, making every team member feel integral to their broader purpose. • Cultivating a mentoring culture organically enriches team dynamics and fosters ongoing excellence. • Embracing and leveraging change and momentum can turn setbacks into meaningful opportunities. Mic Drop Moments: • “Never waste a loss. If something bad happens, that's a great time for us to get better.” • “Leadership and storytelling aren't genetic gifts. They're skills anyone can and should develop.” • “Purpose has to flow from leadership to the frontline, connecting everyone deeply to why their work matters.” Connect with Don • Website: https://donyaeger.com/ • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donyaeger/ • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donyaeger/# • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/donyaeger • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@corporatecompetitorpodcast • X: https://x.com/donyaeger • The New Science of Momentum Book • 45 Storytelling Prompts by Don Yaeger (Free Resource) Episode Highlights & Timestamps: • Understanding Your Audience (03:12) • Mastering Storytelling (07:25) • Developing a Library of Stories (13:42) • The Transition from Writer to Speaker (19:50) • Building Exceptional Teams (27:05) • Creating “Feel-It” Moments (33:40) • Mentoring Culture vs. Mentoring Programs (38:10) • Navigating Change and Momentum (42:20) • The New Science of Momentum (49:45) If you liked this… Don't forget to subscribe to Reflect Forward on your favorite podcast platform or YouTube.

In this episode, former AWS VP Alec Peterson reveals how having a resilience mindset can help leaders turn setbacks into strategic advantages. Peterson emphasizes that effective resilience strategies don't focus on preventing all failures, but rather on creating systems that allow organizations to fail forward. By anticipating and planning for potential issues, companies can build a business resilience framework that embraces failure as a pathway to innovation. Watch now to learn how AWS's infrastructure and culture enable teams to experiment boldly, learn rapidly, and emerge stronger from challenges. This episode offers valuable strategies for leaders looking to cultivate organizational resilience by harnessing the power of failure as a tool for competitive advantage.

Followers of Jesus should be the BEST LEADERS on the planet.Jesus is the GREATEST LEADERSHIP MODEL of all time.Leadership is INFLUENCEIf leadership is influence, then no one has influenced our world more thanJESUS.The HEART of a LEADER.Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows fromit.WHATHOWWHY1. RESPONSIBILITY Based leadership-you feel responsible to SERVEand CARE for the people you lead.2. REWARDS based leadership-you want to be rewarded by the PERKSand POWER of leading.When you BEND down to SERVE, God will LIFT you up to LEAD.Matthew 20:20-27 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sonsand, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. “What is it you want?” he asked. Shesaid, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the otherat your left in your kingdom.”   “You don't know what you are asking,” Jesus saidto them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” they answered.Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right orleft is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have beenprepared by my Father.” When the ten heard about this, they were indignant withthe two brothers.   Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers ofthe Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority overthem. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you mustbe your servant,   and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—SERVANT-focused on doing things for others rather than for oneself.SLAVE-someone bound to obey their master's commands and teaching.If you lead for ANY reason other than to SERVE OTHERS, you will never bea GREAT LEADER.It is impossible to LEAD like Jesus if you won't SERVE like Jesus.Matthew 20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, andto give his life as a ransom for many.”Servant Leader vs Reward Centered Leader1. Servant leaders are always trying to make OTHER PEOPLE look good.Reward centered leaders don't want OTHERS to look good, onlyTHEMSELVES.2. Servant Leaders find their approval in one place: GOD.Reward centered leaders believe:My PERFORMANCE + the APPROVAL of others = SELF-WORTH3. Servant leaders LOVE hard or negative feedback because it allows them toIMPROVE for the benefit of others.Reward centered leaders DESPISE hard or negative feedback because it is allABOUT THEM.So what keeps us from being a servant leader?- PRIDE- FEARProverbs 29:25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts inthe Lord is kept safe.When you BEND DOWN to serve, God can LIFT YOU UP to LEAD.

Have you ever considered that the key to leadership isn't just vision, but also preparation? Kevin sits down with Coach Matthew Mitchell to explore the role of preparation in leadership and in building winning teams. Matthew shares his five levels of preparation: casual, cursory, compliant, committed, and constant.

Let us know!The CopDoc Podcast - Season 8 - Episode 155 What if the most powerful leadership tool isn't having all the answers, but asking the right questions? Dr. Michael Marquardt, after studying leaders across 50 countries for over five decades, discovered a surprising pattern—the greatest leaders in every field share one fundamental skill: they ask exceptional questions.In this thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Steve Morreale, Marquardt challenges traditional notions of leadership, particularly in policing where command-and-control approaches have dominated. Drawing from his extensive research and bestselling book "Leading with Questions," he explains how the simple act of inquiry can transform leadership effectiveness and organizational culture.For police leaders, the implications are profound. While officers excel at tactical questioning during investigations, leadership requires a different approach—one that uses open-ended questions to unlock creativity, build trust, and develop problem-solving capabilities throughout the organization. When leaders ask "What are you seeing?" or "How can we improve?" rather than issuing directives, they tap into collective intelligence and foster genuine engagement.Marquardt introduces the concept of "action learning"—reflecting on experiences to continuously improve—and explains how questioning creates learning organizations that adapt and thrive amid complexity. He offers practical strategies for leaders to shift their approach, acknowledging that great questions often don't yield immediate answers but trigger deeper thinking that leads to breakthrough insights.The conversation reveals how questioning is actually hardwired into human development—babies learn to walk and talk by asking subconscious questions—yet this natural learning approach gets suppressed in traditional organizations. By reclaiming the power of questions, leaders create psychologically safe environments where innovation flourishes and everyone contributes their best thinking.Whether you're a police executive, front-line supervisor, or aspiring leader in any field, this episode provides a masterclass in how to lead more effectively by embracing curiosity and inquiry. Learn how to ask better questions, create reflective practices, and build a culture where continuous improvement becomes the norm.Contact us: copdoc.podcast@gmail.com Website: www.copdocpodcast.comIf you'd like to arrange for facilitated training, or consulting, or talk about steps you might take to improve your leadership and help in your quest for promotion, contact Steve at stephen.morreale@gmail.com
