Welcome to Notable Leaders Radio! I'm Belinda Pruyne, in this milestone 100th episode, I'm celebrating the incredible guests who've shared their wisdom, courage, and vulnerable stories over the years.  In today's episode, we discuss: Discover the real journeys behind "overnight success" stories—Because you'll see that even the most accomplished leaders face setbacks and internal challenges, giving you permission to honor your own slow burn to success rather than compare yourself to unrealistic narratives. Those “overnight successes” actually take 15 years of hard work and pushing through whatever is in your way. Learn about finding and using your unique voice, especially in male-dominated industries (Ivy Slater's, Vice Admiral Sandra Stosz's, Michelle Russo's, Amy Conway-Hatcher's, Dr Mary O'Connor's, stories)—If you're struggling to stand out or be heard, their insights will help you leverage your strengths in any challenging environment.  Hear diverse stories of joy, resilience, and strategic risk-taking—so you can build more joy, clarity, and growth into your own work, borrowing from actionable wisdom shared by a variety of leaders, from corporate executives to entertainers/authors to military figures, and the list goes on. See the power of “Being More You, Not Faux You” in tough situations (Amanda Hawkins' story)—You'll realize that authenticity isn't just a nice idea, but a winning strategy for building trust and influence with even the most senior decision-makers. Take away unique mindsets like architecting a life by design (Chad Lefebvre) versus a life by default—As a way to challenge accepted norms and intentionally create a fulfilling path, instead of just accepting what you're given. Understand how personal experiences outside of business (from dance to the board room, riding instructor to corporate executive…) can shape leadership strengths—Meaning you can tap into your own life story and skills for professional advantage, not just traditional credentials.

Send us a textIn this powerful episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, we sit down with Dave Garrison, leadership strategist, former CEO, and author of The Buy-In Advantage: Why Employees Don't Care – and What Great Leaders Do to Inspire Them to Give Their All. With over 25 years of experience leading and advising public and private companies—including Ameritrade—Dave shares his journey from CEO to co-founder of Garrison Growth, where he helps leaders transform workplace culture and team engagement.Dave's Journey from CEO to Culture ChampionDave opens up about his personal transformation—from leading multinational corporations to discovering his passion for helping people reach their full potential. Encouraged by close friends who questioned whether being a high-profile CEO was truly bringing him joy, Dave embarked on a path that led to founding Garrison Growth. Today, his mission is to help leaders create workplace environments where employees thrive—and where customers feel that impact.Why Engagement is Dropping (And How to Reverse It)Dave discusses startling insights from Gallup's latest data showing that global employee engagement has dropped again. He explains that no leader wants a disengaged workforce, and no employee chooses to disengage—but without intentional focus, engagement simply won't happen. Because it's not commonly reinforced by investors or executive dashboards, many leaders unknowingly neglect it.The “Gas Factor” and What Really Drives EngagementLeaders often default to surface-level perks like bonuses, free food, or ping-pong tables to boost morale. While appreciated, these don't move the needle. Dave reveals that employees today—especially Gen Z—are more motivated by meaningful impact, alignment with purpose, and strong team relationships. When employees feel heard, valued, and connected to a bigger mission, that's when true engagement happens.From Micromanaging to EmpowermentMicromanaging often comes from good intentions but can stifle team growth. Dave challenges leaders to identify the one or two areas where their close involvement truly adds value and let go of control in other areas. Referencing Steve Jobs' hyper-focus on design, he urges leaders to trust the “collective genius” of their teams and foster an environment of trust and autonomy.The Three Pillars: Inspired People, Smart Outcomes, Empowered TeamsIn The Buy-In Advantage, Dave outlines three key pillars of high-performing organizations. The biggest challenge he sees? Prioritization. Many leaders overwhelm teams with long lists of goals. He stresses the importance of narrowing focus to just three core priorities and engaging the team in bringing them to life. The secret? Creating alignment through conversations, not commands—what Dave calls a “done with” not “done to” mindset.Making Values Stick Through StorytellingCompany values can't just live on a poster. Dave champions storytelling as a powerful way to reinforce culture. He shares practical examples like executives spending time in customer service centers or calling clients directly—not to promote products, but to deeply understand their needs. These experiences yield stories that inspire teams and reinforce the company's purpose in meaningful, memorable ways.AI as a Game-ChangerWhen asked about a tool he can't live without, Dave points to AI—specifically tools like Claude and ChatGPT. He emphasizes the importance of input quality, recommending leaders use detailed, emotionally contextual prompts (about 400 words) to get the most powerful results from AI, especially for brainstorming and problem-solving.Books That Shaped Dave's ThinkingTwo books had a significant influence on Dave's approach to

Changing your mind isn't indecision—it's intelligent leadership. And that's why great leaders change their minds. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I dig into why the best leaders are those who are open to changing their minds. If leadership is about learning, then pivoting when presented with new information is not just acceptable—it's essential. One of my favorite leadership philosophies comes from futurist Paul Saffo, who coined the phrase: “Strong opinions, loosely held.” It means having the confidence to act decisively and the humility to evolve your thinking when things change. This blend of conviction and adaptability is what makes a leader trustworthy, resilient, and future-ready. Why is it so hard to change your mind? We explore the psychology behind resistance, including: • Cognitive dissonance – the discomfort of holding conflicting beliefs • The sunk cost fallacy – continuing down a path just because you've already invested in it • Confirmation bias – our tendency to seek information that confirms our beliefs • Ego and fear of looking wrong – which can lead to rigidity and poor decision-making Leading by example I share a few personal stories where I changed my mind as a leader—once during a key hiring decision and again in response to a product development timeline. These moments weren't easy. They required introspection, courage, and a willingness to let go of ego. But they helped build trust with my team, made our business stronger, and reinforced one of my core leadership beliefs: Great leadership isn't about always being right—it's about being open to getting it right. Mental flexibility is a leadership muscle You'll walk away with four practical tools for building mental flexibility: 1. Build in decision checkpoints. 2. Create safe feedback loops. 3. Practice saying “I don't know… yet.” 4. Make self-reflection a ritual. I also tie all of this back to the Ownership Mindset—because leadership is about owning both your successes and your missteps. That means being willing to evolve, especially when it's uncomfortable. Key Takeaways • The best leaders are learners—and learners change their minds. Resistance is natural, but self-awareness can override it. Changing your mind with transparency builds credibility. Reflection and feedback improve decision-making agility. The Ownership Mindset requires the courage to grow and adapt. Challenge of the Week Say out loud: “I changed my mind.” Even just once. Pay attention to how it feels and how it shifts your thinking. Then ask yourself: “What belief or decision am I holding onto too tightly?” If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you'd share it with another leader who could use this message. And don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review Reflect Forward—your support helps amplify these conversations on modern leadership.

Your meeting may be high energy, but what happens after? Most meetings result in no ownership, no follow-through, and no deliverables. Meetings don't move the needle. Leaders move the leader. In this episode, we're diving into what great leaders do when the meeting ends to turn a good discussion into significant momentum.

In this powerful episode, host Alan Briggs sits down with Dave Garrison—former multinational CEO and author of The Buy-In Advantage—to unpack one of the workplace's biggest hidden threats: employee disengagement. Drawing from decades of experience and real-world data, Dave shares why disengagement is accelerating, what's really behind it, and how today's leaders can reverse the trend and re-engage their teams. About Dave Dave has over 25 years of experience as a CEO and independent board member of public and private companies both in the U.S. and internationally. Dave has spent his career rebuilding and exponentially growing organizations in a strategic and sustainable way. His success throughout his career organically led him to his encore work in supporting other CEOs in experiencing the same success he did. Dave holds an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School and is Certified as a DISC and Emotional Quotient consultant for individuals and teams. Additionally, he is a certified facilitator in a system based on Verne Harnishes' Rockefeller Habits and the book Traction. He's an avid sailor, accomplished pilot and fierce yet mediocre golfer!     Key Takeaways: Disengagement is a systems issue, not a people issue. Gen Z and younger managers are demanding purpose—not just paychecks. Culture beats compensation: engaged employees rarely leave for small raises. Better alignment on purpose and priorities can slash turnover and boost performance. Meetings should be a catalyst for engagement—not a drain on energy. Notable Quotes: “Disengagement is the enthusiasm we leave in the parking lot Monday morning.” – Dave Garrison “All of us are smarter than any of us. Leaders must learn to draw out that collective genius.” – Dave Garrison “People don't burn out when they care deeply about what they're doing.” – Dave Garrison Learn More: Grab your copy of The Buy-In Advantage and explore tools, assessments, and resources mentioned in the episode at buyinbook.com.

What does it take to build something that lasts—not just for years, but across generations? In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli is joined by Alfredo De Massis, a globally recognized expert on family enterprise and author of The Family Business Book: A Roadmap for Entrepreneurial Families to Prosper Across Generations. As one of the most cited scholars in the field and a trusted advisor to multi-generational family businesses around the world, De Massis offers a rare combination of academic rigor and real-world relevance.But don't expect a conversation limited to family-owned companies. This episode is about how all leaders—especially those responsible for long-term value—can rethink legacy, leadership, and innovation. De Massis argues that great leaders don't just pass down businesses; they design systems that outlast them. From ownership mindsets to innovation strategy and governance architecture, the conversation provides a blueprint for building organizations that remain relevant and resilient across time.A central theme of the discussion is the distinction between succession planning and legacy design. De Massis challenges the outdated belief that continuity depends on finding the next version of the current leader. Instead, he introduces the concept of the "family galaxy"—a flexible, multi-entity model that allows different generations to thrive in different ways, based on their talents and motivations. He also breaks down the three layers of governance essential for long-term success: business governance, family governance, and the often-overlooked interface between them.For CEOs, board members, and senior executives thinking beyond quarterly results, this conversation delivers both intellectual depth and actionable insight. It's a masterclass in how to lead with intention—not just for today, but for the future you won't be around to control.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why the best leaders don't plan succession—they design systems for continued relevance.Hear how to reframe ownership as a responsibility to be developed, not a status to be inherited.Explore the “family galaxy” model—and how to structure a system where multiple generations can create value.Understand how great organizations govern at three levels—and why ignoring the “interface” layer can derail everything.Discover why tradition can be a strategic asset when leaders know how to reinterpret—not resist—it.Learn how emotional dynamics influence strategic decisions in family and legacy enterprises.Find out why leadership earned through credibility—not entitlement—is key to generational success.Get practical insights into how to align governance, ownership, and innovation around shared purpose.Take away powerful questions to evaluate whether your legacy is built to evolve—or simply to endure.Connect with Alfredo De MassisAlfredo De Massis LinkedIn Alfredo De Massis IMD The Family Business Book Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Changes are afoot! As I mention at the top of this episode, we'll be moving to a bimonthly schedule and trying to live by the ethos of “quality over quantity”. You're going to see a more nuanced, dual perspective between sales leaders and the CEO's who need them. I can't wait to show you what we have in store over the next few weeks.   Today's guest Jason Abell (President of Rewire, Inc.)  joins the discussion to share insights on effective leadership and the importance of core values in navigating tough times. Jason highlights common mistakes leaders make in meetings and provides practical advice on fostering a positive company culture.
