Welcome to another inspiring episode of Build a Better Agency! In this episode, host Drew McLellan sits down with high-performance coach and leadership expert Christina Langdon to explore what it truly means to scale your agency—not just in terms of size or revenue, but in mindset, vision, and team culture. Drawing on decades of leadership experience at organizations like Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and Fast Company, Christina offers invaluable insights on unlocking growth and reimagining success for agency leaders and their teams. Throughout their conversation, Drew and Christina unpack the dangers of operating on “default mode,” the pitfalls that keep agencies stuck in status quo thinking, and how our brains—wired for survival rather than success—can hold us back from imagining extraordinary futures. Christina introduces practical strategies for reflection and growth, including her signature daily practice: reviewing what worked, what didn't, and what can be done differently. She explains how these habits, when shared individually and collectively, can spark new awareness and propel teams toward higher performance, deeper engagement, and lasting happiness at work. The episode also delves into tactical frameworks for agency owners looking to elevate their leadership teams, assess existing capabilities, and foster cultures of intentional learning. Christina shares actionable tips on co-creating extraordinary goals, updating job descriptions to match evolving strengths, and using tools like user manuals to deepen collaboration and understanding within teams. You'll also hear how to address common “dream killers,” manage stress by focusing on what's within your control, and get buy-in for big, bold changes—even from those who might be resistant to new ways of thinking.  If you're ready to move beyond incremental improvements and instead ignite genuine transformation within your agency, this episode is packed with real-world advice and motivational stories to get you started. Whether you want to grow in revenue, impact, retention, or simply reclaim your team's enthusiasm, Christina and Drew provide a roadmap for dreaming bigger—together.  A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

So often in our lives, God is moving pieces that we don't see, or at least understand. We commonly are so focused on the moment we fail to see the bigger picture. Commonly we fear that things are so bad there is no way even God could bring good out. But there are also those blessed moments where God lets us really see back in time - see the beauty of His design, the power of His creativity. In those moments we are offered a renewed hope. Join me in this episode as Scott Maderer shares his story. It is a powerful story of a patient God who lets Scott try it his own way. When that fails, God gently, patiently, and inexorably leads Scott back to the faith. You can read more about Scott's business Inspired Leadership at: https://inspiredstewardship.com/catholicmen/

In this interview we discuss the importance of setting intentions each morning to bring focus, forgiveness and calmness to the day ahead. Karen Stultz is a coach and podcaster who supports entrepreneurs by shatterning their self-imposed limitations. One of my favorite parts of the interview is the story of how her boss showed her how to lead with empathy, but still help them improve their work. Here are the highlights from the interview: Empathy and listening as leadership skills Karen emphasizes that empathy through active listening is key to effective leadership. Leaders must understand employees' perspectives to inspire them and find solutions together. She explains why she was afraid to ask for help and what she did to overcome this fear. Inspiring employees through understanding Karl stresses the need for leaders to understand why return-to-office pushback occurs, in order to flexibly find compromises like hybrid schedules. Karen agrees understanding contexts fosters inspiration over command-and-control. Understanding your values and how it matters to your employees. Setting processes to reduce friction Karen advocates documenting the work to justify flexible arrangements. Karen notes clarifying needs and communicating respectfully to tech support helps address challenges directly. Finding flexibility through communication Karen argues leaders should consider employees' values and happiness. With open communication and caring about people, leaders can inspire loyalty through flexibility and opportunity. Developing empathy through self-awareness Karen's first boss exemplified empathetic coaching through consistent check-ins. His non-judgmental support helped her improve and find a better role fit, prioritizing employees' wellbeing. It starts with improving your listening skills. An employee must feel heard to trust their boss/manager/leader. Morning routines for intention and inspiration Karen's daily routine of affirmations, oils, and talismans in bed and on waking prepares her mindset to feel accomplished and help others joyfully, with focused yet flexible intention-setting inspiring motivated action.

Show Notes: In this episode of Unleashed, Will Bachman interviews Nancy Mackay, founder of MacKay CEO Forums (MC ACO), a peer advisory group that provides confidential peer support groups for CEOs and business owners across Canada. The group aims to populate the world with inspiring leaders by offering confidential peer support groups to hundreds of members. Nancy states that, in today's challenging fast-paced business-world, and with a growing mental-health crisis, leaders need more peer support and trusted advisors. The Mackay community includes over 1200 CEOs, executives, and business owners from various industries across Canada, participating in over 114 person peer learning groups. Over 60 consultants have been trained and certified to offer peer learning support to members, and the leadership team is focused on supporting form Chairs who offer peer learning support. Nancy started her group over fifteen years ago and still Chairs the group. Her group has 14 CEOs from various industries, with revenue sizes ranging from 5 million to 5 billion plus. Most of the groups are for entrepreneurial, privately held individuals who want to grow their businesses. The meetings are confidential, non-competitive, and require six meetings a year for a day, and they hold a 2-day annual retreat. Each meeting features a one-hour speaker, followed by confidential updates where CEOs discuss their biggest issues, challenges, and opportunities related to business, family, and personal. They place issues they want help with on the table, and after the issues are discussed, the group encourages sharing experiences. A Forum that Helps CEOs One of the biggest objections to joining a peer group is the lack of time. However, the reality is that everyone can make time, and having a group of 14 CEOs with a growth mindset can save time and provide support for all issues, including business, family, and personal. All the forum Chairs at MacKay are modern, trusted advisors with extensive experience working with CEOs, executives, and business owners, playing a crucial role in Chairing meetings and retreats, creating a confidential space for CEOs and executives to be vulnerable and succeed in their careers without sacrificing their health and important personal and family relationships.   Nancy shares examples of how peer groups have helped individuals navigate their transitions, such as selling their business, scaling their business, finding talent, and recession and succession planning.  Nancy highlights the importance of segmenting peer groups, with specific groups catering to different types of CEOs, CFOs, HR Rows, and cross-functional executives. These groups ensure that each member's background experience is taken into account, ensuring that everyone is a best fit for the group. The group also address personal and family issues, allowing members to discuss their challenges and successes without sacrificing their health or family relationships. Members can build lifelong friendships and support networks to help them navigate their careers and personal lives. Three Tips to Being an Effective Chair of a Peer Learning Group To be an effective Chair of a peer learning group, Nancy shares three key tips: not being the "star in the room", it should be all about the members. The second tip is to ensure that you create a space of vulnerability where members can share their experiences and mistakes, and remembering that no-one is the "smartest person in the room." The leadership philosophy is about judgment-free and sharing experiences, helping CEOs and executives become masterful at telling stories and being vulnerable; the third tip is to remember that being a Chair is focused on helping people and not just being nice. It's more about challenging them and holding them accountable.  In conclusion, peer learning support provides valuable advice and mindset shifts for CEOs and executives, helping them navigate their transitions, find talent, and build successful cultures. By taking a step back and focusing on the members, Chair members can create a supportive environment for their peers and achieve success in their respective fields. Nancy explains who could apply to become a Chair with the organization. Chairs must have had their own independent consulting practice for at least three years and have over 18 years of experience working with CEOs, executives, and business owners from various industries. The most successful Chairs are partnering with the MacKay CEO Forums and signing up for their certification program to build world-class peer learning groups for CEOs and executives. The MacKay CEO Forums have launched over 100 groups and are constantly evolving and improving. The best fit Chairs have a proven roadmap to success on how to build these groups and achieve Chair mastery. The certification program is experiential learning, not a bootcamp approach, and includes one-on-one coaching, pure learning on a weekly basis, observation, co-Chairing, and they can move on to the Chair Mastery program.  Nancy explains the benefits to joining the MacKay CEO Forums, which provides access to current, relevant, and high-level information through access to a peer group, an annual summit, conferences, content, and expand their business network. In summary, it provides connectivity across forums. Being part of the broader network of the MacKay CEO Forums provides a proven roadmap to success. Forum Chairs are highly rated speakers with MacKay CEO Forums, making it a lucrative opportunity for members to expand their business network and engage with people in the community.  The Origin Story of MacKay CEO Forums Nancy shares the story behind founding the company. She was invited to speak at a CEO peer group meeting in Vancouver. She was the first female speaker invited into the CEO group, and after her presentation, the Chair asked her if she'd like to become the forum Chair. This was at a time when they didn't let women in. However, Nancy instigated the progression to allowing women into the forum. The organization has since grown to include multiple forums and an institution that supports successful consultants and business leaders.   MacKay CEO Forums is a beneficial corporation.  It takes a stand on diversity, equality, and inclusion. For the first five years, she ran the business together with her husband and business partner. She decided that the world needed more peer support and focused on building ten of these CEO groups across Canada. The goal is to populate the world with inspiring leaders, to find other like-minded consultants who have a passion for helping business leaders, and she wants to help them achieve success with their business. They are currently on the path to having 10,000 members across the world.  The MacKay peer learning group for business leaders is primarily based in Canada. They have a Chair capability assessment that allows individuals to self-assess their suitability for the role. The forum is currently looking to partner with consultants based in BC, Alberta, and Ontario as its primary areas for growth over the next year. Common Mistakes Consultants Make Nancy shares the common errors consultants make and emphasizes the importance of sharing experiences and stories, rather than giving advice or telling people what to do. This creates a space for a different approach to influencing and creates more inspiration for people to take action. The forum's leadership philosophy includes the Mackay Mastery Model for Inspired Leadership, which focuses on inspiring oneself every day. Chairs are trained in time mastery, Eagle mastery, passion, mastering innovation, mastery, social contribution, mastery, and Health Mastery. To keep meetings on track, Chairs should use the right language when a conversation feels meandering or getting off track.

Hamza Khan believes the hardest months of the pandemic, March through May of 2020, were a portal into a new world—one that required leaders and managers to reassess old systems and start making foundational changes from the top down. As many businesses failed and others thrived, conscientious leaders began to ask hard questions about the efficacy of a leadership structure that remained disconnected from human needs. What successful leaders like Khan have found is that productivity increases when employees are encouraged to prioritize holistic wellness. In a world of constant change, leaders must learn to accept chaos and work within it. This requires frequent, structured opportunities for employees to provide feedback about their work environment. Leaders have to ask the hard questions to which they may not want the answers and also foster a culture that encourages honesty and vulnerability. A lack of emotional safety in the workplace has led to global burnout and mass resignations. Maintaining calm within a work environment requires conscious management of time, energy, and attention. Encouraging employees to practice wellness at home and at work is an important step in building resiliency and increasing productivity.Main Topics: A brief overview of Hamza's professional journey from education to entrepreneurship to empowerment coach (02:50) How the pandemic forced reassessment of leadership culture (05:55) Increasing levels of engagement from employees (09:26) Advice to leaders about accepting chaos and creating an emotionally safe work environment (13:55) Creating a culture of peace through intention and attention (19:17)   Episode Links Hamzakhan.ca Hamza Khan's TedTalk "Stop Managing, Start Leading” Connect with Hamza:https://www.instagram.com/hamzakhttps://twitter.com/hamzakhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/khanhamzahttps://www.facebook.com/HamzaKhanAuthorConnect with Adam:https://www.startwithawin.com/https://www.facebook.com/AdamContosCEOhttps://twitter.com/AdamContosCEOhttps://www.instagram.com/adamcontosceo/Listen, rate, and subscribe!Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsToday's episode was brought to you by RE/MAX, nobody in the world sells more real estate than RE/MAX.
