In this episode of Zero to CEO, I speak to founder and entrepreneur Tim Dwyer about how to unlock faster, more sustainable business growth by aligning with the natural rhythms of your company. Tim reveals the key phases every business goes through and why understanding your current growth cycle is critical to avoiding burnout, scaling too soon, or stalling altogether. He shares the framework behind 6x growth without hustle culture, how to use emotional and spiritual intelligence to build long-term impact, and why building legacy isn't about what you leave behind — but what you build with intention today.

What if the secret to thriving in chaos, while building your company, isn't hustling harder—but leading with purpose? How do you build products to serve billions of users, but not lose sight of their individual humanity?In this deep conversation, Rob sits down with Sara Hicks, leadership coach, author and founder of The Intentional Organization. Together, they unpack the rise of LA's tech economy over the last 30 years, the power of community in entrepreneurship, and how leaders can shift from reactive to intentional.

After 150+ episodes of asking guests what it means to be intentional, Mark Jewell finally answers the question himself in this powerful solo masterclass. Drawing from years of leadership coaching, personal reflection, and spiritual insight, Mark unpacks his Framework for intentional leadership.If you're ready to lead with clarity, consistency, and deeper purpose—this episode is your blueprint.Key Takeaways:Deliberate Leadership:Intentional leaders don't drift—they design. Being deliberate means planning your day with purpose, saying “no” to distractions, and choosing what matters most.Disciplined Execution:It's not about being rigid or perfect. Discipline is about doing what you said you'd do, keeping your promises to yourself, and aligning your energy with the work that matters most.Divine Calling:You weren't placed in your role by accident. There's a higher assignment on your leadership. Understanding your divine design unlocks impact that no one else can replicate.Real-Life Application:Learn how to build momentum through morning routines, say yes to the right opportunities, and operate inside your own “riverbanks” of discipline.Spiritual Insights for Leaders:Mark draws on passages from Ephesians, Jeremiah, Romans, and Psalms to reveal how your leadership identity was divinely formed before you were even born.Notable Quotes:“To be intentional is to be deliberate—on purpose, by design.” – Mark Jewell “Consistency is your credibility. Discipline is how you earn your own trust.” – Mark Jewell “You're not here by accident. You were crafted with a divine mission for this moment.” – Mark Jewell “There's only one you. And the world needs your fingerprint on the leadership you bring.” – Mark Jewell “If it's worth doing, it's worth debriefing. And if it's not being debriefed, it might not be worth doing.” – Mark JewellReflect on your own 3D leadership:What are you doing deliberately right now?Where do you need more discipline?How is your leadership divinely appointed in this season?

In this candid episode of the Leadership Sandbox podcast, Tammy J. Bond explores the challenges of leading through uncertainty. As leaders, it's essential to navigate limbo effectively—whether it's due to organizational changes, unclear roles, or shifting team dynamics. Tammy emphasizes that silence is not a solution; in fact, it can lead to a dangerous disconnect. By focusing on how to lead courageously during these uncertain times, leaders can create a culture of trust and engagement. KEY INSIGHTS: The Importance of Speaking Up: Silence in leadership can result in indecision and stagnation, impacting the team's morale and effectiveness. The Role of Authenticity: Authentic leadership encourages openness and honesty, allowing team members to feel safe in sharing their concerns. The Power of Intentional Actions: Leaders must commit to showing up intentionally, even when facing uncertainty. Small Actions Matter: Leading through limbo requires intentional gestures that build trust and confidence within the team. Declaring Truths: Speaking out one true statement can ground leaders and their teams during turbulent times. TAKEAWAYS: Don't let uncertainty keep you from leading; your team needs you to step up. Embrace discomfort and address issues head-on to foster a healthy team dynamic. Consistent communication and support can navigate your team through limbo effectively. Limbo is a temporary state—how you lead during it defines your impact as a leader.

On this episode, I speak with Sylvie DiGiusto, the world's first 3D immersive keynote speaker, whose innovative presentation approach reshapes how we engage with audiences. Sylvie brings a wealth of experience from her 20-year corporate journey in retail and tourism, where she honed her skills in leadership development, building one of the most prominent leadership academies in Europe. Our conversation delved into her signature framework, "The Power of Choice," which empowers leaders to make intentional decisions that significantly impact their teams and customers. Sylvie articulates her passion for fusing customer-centric leadership with effective communication. She reveals how the realization that many candidates exhibit a discrepancy between their perceived and actual performance influenced her career path. This realization led her to examine the nuances of first impressions and unconscious biases, which profoundly affect how individuals and organizations are perceived. Together, we explore how these biases play a role in the customer experience and how leaders can bridge the gap between perception and reality. Our discussion also touched on the critical nature of first impressions in customer relationships and team dynamics. Sylvie illustrates this with vivid scenarios, demonstrating how instant judgments shape our interactions and the narratives we believe. She also introduces her ABCDE framework, which includes Appearance, Behavior, Communication, Digital Presence, and Environment, offering a comprehensive guide for individuals looking to refine how they present themselves in the business world. Throughout our conversation, it became evident that Sylvie's commitment to bridging the gap between leadership and customer-centricity presents a new paradigm for enhancing organizational culture and driving long-term success.   Sylvie's Contact Information: Website: https://sylviedigiusto.com LinkedIn: @sylviedigiusto Social Media: @sylviedigiusto   Tacey's Contact Information: Website: taceyatkinson.com LinkedIn: TaceyAtkinson   Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to having more valuable conversations together in the future.

In this Teaching Thursday episode of the Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast, Mark Jewell and Jon Anderson tackle one of the most pressing discussions in the industry today—intentional leadership in the face of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement. With new leadership in Washington and growing concerns about the future of agriculture, Mark and Jon provide a bold, thought-provoking conversation about how agribusiness leaders can take control of their future rather than reacting to it.With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed as the Secretary of Health and Human Services and Brooke Rollins leading the USDA, major changes in food policy, health regulations, and sustainability could impact everything from farm operations to the agribusiness supply chain. Many in the industry are feeling uncertain, if not outright resentful—but Mark challenges listeners to rethink where that resentment comes from and how the industry can step up with true intentional leadership instead of resistance.Key Takeaways:

In this episode, we dive deep into what it really means to lead—whether you're an executive or someone navigating career shifts. We explore how to operate from a place of alignment, how to break free from toxic workplace patterns, and how to step into leadership—regardless of your job title.  If you've ever felt disempowered at work or questioned your next move, this conversation is for you.  �� Three Game-Changing Takeaways  1️⃣Your Leadership Starts Now—No Permission Needed  2️⃣Toxic Work Environments Don't Define You—Your Choices Do 3️⃣Embracing Change is the Key to Thriving in Midlife & Beyond �� Key Topics & Insights  1️⃣The Power of Intentional Leadership (06:00)  �� "Each one can reach one." Karen shares how every person—regardless of position—can shift workplace culture by leading through example and operating from clear values. She explains how intentional leadership begins with self-respect, setting boundaries, and showing up with integrity, even in challenging environments.  �� Explanation: Many believe leadership is reserved for those at the top, but true leadership is about influence, not authority. When individuals model aligned, values-driven behavior, they create ripple effects that shift organizational culture.  2️⃣How to Navigate Toxic Workplaces Without Losing Yourself (10:07)  �� "When I'm reacting in retribution, I lower my own energy." Karen discusses the challenge of working in environments where fear, control, and negativity dominate. She breaks down the importance of maintaining emotional intelligence, setting healthy detachment, and recognizing that toxic environments do not define personal worth.  �� Explanation: Workplaces can trigger deep emotional responses, making it tempting to react impulsively. However, those who master self-awareness and emotional regulation maintain their inner peace, operate from strength, and often inspire change in others.  3️⃣The Courage to Pivot & Reinvent Yourself at Any Age (19:22)  �� "You've been investing this whole time for what's next." Karen shares her personal journey of leaving a long-time career in financial services to step into her true calling. She dismantles the myth of the “sunk cost fallacy” and explains how every past experience contributes to future success—even if it seems unrelated at first. �� Explanation: Many hesitate to make career pivots out of fear of wasted time or lost identity. But reinvention is not about discarding the past—it's about integrating everything learned into a more aligned, fulfilling path forward.  �� Notable Quotes  ✨ "If you believe you're powerless, you will find proof that you are." ✨ "We all have the choice to change the energy in the spaces we enter." ✨ "The cost of staying in the wrong place is always greater than the fear of change."  �� Final Thought  This episode is a call to action: Own your power.

Stop waiting for external circumstances to improve—be the leader in your life and career now.  �� Loved this conversation?

In this episode, Bob ‘n Joyce explore the power of deliberate and intentional leadership. Too often, we miss opportunities to maximize our impact by reacting impulsively to the chaos around us. Instead of leading with purpose, we get swept up in the moment. Leading with intention means consciously choosing our words and actions to shape outcomes rather than merely responding to circumstances. This practice doesn't come naturally—it requires patience, self-awareness, and the ability to step back and see the bigger picture. We share real-world examples and practical strategies to help you cultivate intentional leadership in both your professional and personal life. So, are you ready to take control of how you show up as a leader? Join us for this insightful conversation—grab a snack, settle in, and let's dive in!

What if the key to thriving under pressure was simpler than you thought? In today's episode, Erin tackles one of the toughest challenges leaders face: staying positive and intentional during high-pressure situations. Whether you're leading a team through tight deadlines or navigating unpredictable circumstances, this episode offers actionable insights to help you lead with clarity and joy.  Below are five key takeaways from the episode, giving you the tools to transform stress into an opportunity for intentional leadership: 1. Set the Stage: Define Your Leadership "Why" Intentional leadership starts with purpose. Leaders who act with clarity instead of reacting impulsively create stronger, more engaged teams. Research by Gallup shows that 70% of employee engagement is directly tied to the quality of their manager. Setting a clear "why" can transform mundane tasks into meaningful contributions. During the launch of I See You!, the improve it! team dedicated time to align their purpose with their goals. This exercise not only reinforced the mission, but energized their efforts as well--proving that purpose-driven leadership fosters both morale and productivity. Actionable Tip: Reflect on your "why" as a leader and how it aligns with your team's objectives. Share this vision during team meetings to build a sense of collective purpose. 2. Spark Joy: Lead with Empathy and Creativity Leadership isn't just about getting things done—it's about creating an environment where your team feels joyful and valued. Studies from Harvard Business Review reveal that joyful employees are 20% more productive. Simple actions, like celebrating small wins or infusing creativity into routines, can make a big difference. Erin's team's decision to hold a goal-setting session by the Charleston waterfront exemplifies how changing the environment and mindset can spark inspiration. A surprise visit from a ladybug became a symbolic moment, reminding them that joy leads to serendipitous success. Actionable Tip: Incorporate small rituals of joy, such as sharing weekend highlights on Slack or starting meetings with a funny meme, to boost team morale. 3. Master Goal-Setting: Move from Vision to Action Effective leaders bridge the gap between vision and execution through structured goal-setting. The SMART framework (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) is a proven method, with a 42% higher success rate, according to a study by Dominican University of California. During the I See You! book launch, Erin and her team set an ambitious goal of reaching 10,000 readers—a target that was both measurable and aligned with our purpose. Naming their ladybug "OprahGabby2024" and creating a hashtag around it infused fun and focus into this vision. Actionable Tip: Start your week by setting one SMART goal for yourself and your team. Break it down into smaller tasks and track progress. 4. Overcome Leadership Challenges with Intention Leadership is not without hurdles, from burnout to team conflicts. The key to overcoming these challenges lies in staying intentional. Tools like mindfulness practices and feedback loops can keep leaders grounded and connected to their teams. At improve it!, Erin and her team regularly set monthly intentions and check in with team members to understand their needs. This consistent effort fosters psychological safety and reduces resistance to change. Actionable Tip: Schedule a 10-minute reflection session at the end of each day to assess wins and areas for improvement. This practice helps maintain focus and adaptability. 5. Commit to a 30-Day Leadership Challenge Small, intentional actions compound over time, creating significant impact. In the episode, Erin encourages listeners to commit to a 30-day leadership challenge—such as starting meetings with gratitude or setting weekly SMART goals—to build positive habits. These practices improve team morale, engagement, and productivity, one step at a time. Actionable Tip: Choose one intentional leadership practice to implement over the next 30 days. Track your progress and share your experience with your team to inspire collective growth. Final Thoughts Intentional leadership is a journey, not a destination. By focusing on purpose, sparking joy, setting clear goals, and addressing challenges with intention, you can lead your team to thrive under pressure. As we learned from our community question, maintaining positivity starts with the small, deliberate choices we make every day.   Ready to take the next step?

Philip Wright, ASA, hosts Matt Burns, FSA, on a topic that will connect deeply with young professionals: Intentional Leadership. Whether you haven't taken your first exam or early in your career, today's conversation will provide valuable insights into growing as a leader while navigating the modern challenges of our profession. 

On this episode of the Customers First Podcast, I reconnect with Angie Robinson, Customers First Regular, dynamic leadership and life coach, as we delve into the critical importance of intentional leadership development. Angie's extensive background in human resources, coupled with her experience of over two decades in corporate settings, has equipped her with unique insights into nurturing impactful leaders. We explore how self-awareness is the cornerstone of effective leadership, encouraging leaders to embark on personal growth before they can inspire and manage their teams. We start our conversation by examining why many leaders often neglect their development amid their team responsibilities. The multitude of roles a leader must juggle frequently pushes self-care and personal growth down the priority list. Angie emphasizes the need to reverse this trend, arguing that only when leaders prioritize their growth can they genuinely impact others. Angie breaks down her framework into actionable steps, the first of which involves setting clear, personalized goals. She insists that effective goal-setting should align with individual aspirations rather than company objectives. By identifying what truly matters to them, leaders can cultivate a sense of ownership and engagement, making it easier to follow through on their intentions. The conversation flows into practical tactics for creating action plans. Angie shares her methodology for cultivating clear, attainable steps while anticipating potential barriers—both external and internal. By visualizing success and detailing the attributes necessary to achieve it, leaders can create robust plans that address professional skills, mindset shifts, and support systems needed for advancement. Lastly, we address the execution phase, affirming that planning is only possible with dedicated action. Angie underscores the importance of regularly revisiting goals and holding oneself accountable through structured check-ins. We discuss methods for tracking progress, celebrating achievements, and adjusting plans as necessary, encouraging leaders to maintain momentum despite life's challenges.
