"All leaders lead by example." John C. Maxwell's quote reminds us why the qualifications for office in Christ's church are primarily character qualities. The congregation will follow it's leaders, not only in administrative decisions, but also in Christian character. We are all called to be exemplary Christians, but it is a requirement for those who will serve as offices in the church.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it take to walk into a room full of strangers and walk out with real connections? In this episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, host Yanique Grant sits down with Alexandra Silva Labarr, internationally recognized speaker, author, and founder of Xandra Marketing and PR. Known as the Networking Queen, Alexandra brings over 25 years of experience in marketing, business development, and sales to a conversation that is practical, personal, and deeply inspiring.Alexandra's journey is one of remarkable resilience. After decades in corporate America, she bet on herself and launched her own marketing firm just before COVID hit, shutting down the in person networking she had built her reputation on. Instead of retreating, she pivoted, went digital, gave back to her community, and emerged stronger. Today, Xandra Marketing and PR helps businesses take full ownership of their marketing, from social media and branding to digital presence and messaging strategy.Her story starts at 13 years old, when she lost her mother. That experience taught her that finding the right people and leaning on them is not weakness, it is strategy. That understanding became the foundation for everything she has built since, including her Power of Networking Community, now with 15 chapters across South Florida. She is also the author of three books: The Power of Networking, Show Up Scared, and Show Up Scared: Teen Edition, which became an Amazon bestseller and has taken her into schools and universities across the country.In this episode Alexandra walks us through her Seven Essential C's of Networking and highlights the two people struggle with most: Courage and Common Ground. She explains why most people have courage and confidence backwards, and why showing up scared is the only real path to confidence. She also gets practical, giving you a step by step approach for exactly what to say at a networking event, how to approach a group already in conversation, how to introduce yourself without leading with a pitch, and how to craft a 30 second commercial built around the pain you solve.Alexandra also shares her thoughts on follow up, encouraging listeners to pick up the phone and let people hear their voice, because authenticity lives in your voice and people do business with people they can feel.Topics covered include the Seven C's of Networking, courage vs confidence, building common ground, crafting your 30 second commercial, follow up strategy, AI tools for entrepreneurs, and details on the Show Up Scared teen event at the Mayfair Hotel in Coconut Grove on June 23rd.Featured Resources:The Power of Networking by Alexandra Silva Labarr available on AmazonShow Up Scared by Alexandra Silva Labarr available on AmazonShow Up Scared: Teen Edition by Alexandra Silva Labarr available on AmazonHow to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie available on AmazonIt's Not Who You Know, It's Who Knows You available on AmazonBooks by John C.

If you've ever felt overlooked, passed up, or stuck despite your talent, this episode will challenge you to look in the mirror, take responsibility, and finally break through the wall that's holding you back.In this eye-opening episode, Mack Story unpacks John C. Maxwell's powerful truth: “Your character growth determines the height of your personal growth.”Drawing from real-world career stories and Norman Schwarzkopf's sobering insight that “99% of leadership failures are failures in character,” Mack reveals why so many sharp, capable professionals remain trapped at the bottom of the corporate ladder…not because they lack skills or intelligence, but because their character is holding them back.You'll hear about the “confused” people who blame the world, their bosses, and their co-workers while unknowingly sabotaging their own potential, discover the difference between getting hired for competency and getting promoted (or fired) for character, and learn why more degrees and technical training will never fix what only character-building can.

Maxwell and Kevin Harrington, to unlock the potential of storytelling. He passionately believes that everyone possesses a unique story that can amplify their impact, influence, and income, revealing how embracing our narratives can lead to profound breakthroughs. Throughout our conversation, we explore the mechanics of storytelling, including the essential elements of attention, tension, connection, solution, and action, all while emphasizing the importance of making our stories resonate with others. Join us as we uncover practical strategies to not only tell our stories but to transform them into powerful tools for connection and change in an increasingly skeptical world.Navigating the intricate landscape of storytelling in leadership, this episode dives deep into the transformative power of personal narratives. With guest Bill Blankshane, the founder of Story Builders and a New York Times bestselling author, we explore how leaders can leverage their unique stories to foster connections, trust, and influence. Blankschaen emphasizes that everyone possesses a narrative worth sharing—one that encapsulates not just the events of their lives but the valuable lessons learned along the way. He shares his journey from running a private school to becoming a sought-after storyteller, all while emphasizing the importance of courage in embracing one's story. Listeners will be introduced to the concept of the 'story advantage'—a strategic approach that allows individuals to maximize their impact and income by aligning their personal experiences with their professional purpose. Whether you're a leader, entrepreneur, or simply someone looking to make a difference, this episode stresses that breakthrough moments often begin with the decision to share your story, inspiring listeners to reflect on their own narratives and the potential they hold for personal and professional growth.Takeaways:The podcast emphasizes the transformational power of storytelling as a leadership tool, showcasing how sharing one's narrative can lead to profound personal and professional breakthroughs.Bill Blankschaen's insights reveal that every individual's story is unique and valuable, and learning how to articulate it can significantly enhance one's influence and impact.Key concepts discussed include the 'normalcy trap' and 'confidence trap,' which often prevent individuals from recognizing their own stories' worth and potential for connection with others.The episode underscores the importance of understanding your audience's needs, advocating that effective storytelling requires not only sharing your experiences but also addressing what others can gain from them.Links referenced in this episode:mystorybuilders.comyourstoryadvantage.comhttps://mystorybuilders.com/articles/https://www.becomingbridgebuilders.org/podcastMentioned in this episode:My friend Dr. Noah St. John calls this 'the invisible brake.'

I am back. After a year of silence on this platform, I am returning with one of the most honest, most personal, and most powerful episodes I have ever recorded. 2025 brought a series of events that no one plans for and no one sees coming. My business was closed without warning, I navigated a difficult personal transition, and I lived through the kind of year that tests everything you say you believe about resilience, leadership, and growth.This episode is not a recap. It is a reckoning and an invitation. I am unpacking why I chose to pause rather than perform, what I learned in the silence, and why I believe the hardest seasons of our lives are also the most clarifying ones. If you have ever found yourself in a chapter you did not choose, starting over when you were not ready, or wondering whether the pause you are in means you are falling behind, this episode was made for you.ABOUT MEI am a former educator turned entrepreneur, leadership developer, and mentor who has spent over a decade coaching people toward lives and businesses they are genuinely proud of. I have had the privilege of working alongside world-renowned leadership authority Dr. John C. Maxwell, contributing to leadership conferences, digital courses, and educational materials.  I created the Brewing Success Podcast because I believe that meaningful growth happens in conversation, and that the right idea at the right moment can change the entire trajectory of a life.CONNECT WITH MEFind me on Instagram, join the Brewing Success Community, and get your copy of the ABC's of Leadership Mentoring Journal at leadlikeandreagebhardt.com.

Do you ever stop to pray and instead find yourself fighting off distracting or discouraging thoughts? Have you ever wondered how people pray for hours not just minutes?  Next in our Jumpstart Your Prayer Life series, we're looking at The Two Notebook Approach as a means of being intentional and focused in conversational prayer with God. This approach was inspired by Marcus's contemplations on John C. Maxwell's Partners in Prayer and Neil T. Anderson's Liberating Prayer, and, yes, he's got an acrostic for you! Our goal with this series is to encourage you to deepen your prayer life and explore various approaches to your relationship with God. By the end of this series, we'll have walked through three approaches to your prayer time that we hope you find impactful and refreshing. You can start practicing now with the free "Listening Prayer Starter Kit" (linked). Thank you for joining us – father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner – on the trail to a deeper walk with God!  

https://media.blubrry.com/my_future_business/mfbpodcast.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/MFB+SHOW+540+MONTE+WYATT.mp3Subscribe: Email | TuneIn | RSSInterview With Monte WyattHow to Make Leadership and Management Your Biggest Competitive Advantage#addzerosnow #leadershipdevelopment #montewyattHi, and welcome to the show!On today's show I have the pleasure of welcoming Best-Selling Author and Executive Leadership Coach, Monte Wyatt to talk about executive team alignment, how leadership and management are 2 different things, why both are needed more than ever today — and why misalignment, not strategy, is what's really holding most companies back.There's a moment Monte Wyatt has witnessed hundreds of times. The strategy is solid, the people are capable, and yet growth has stalled — decisions drag, meetings loop, and the CEO is carrying everything alone. Monte's diagnosis is consistent: the problem isn't strategy. It's alignment.As CEO of AddingZEROS and WSJ and USA Today Best-Selling Author of “Pulling Profits Out of a Hat”, Monte has spent over 30 years helping executives see what they can't see from inside their own organizations. He's the top-ranked ActionCOACH Partner in North America, a Top 30 Global Guru in Organizational Culture, and holds certifications from John C. Maxwell, Marshall Goldsmith, and Jeffrey Gitomer.His AddingZEROS 5 Disciplines — Strategy, Business Development, People, Execution, and Mission — install a leadership operating system that turns confusion into clarity. Clients report faster decisions, predictable execution, revenue growth, and higher engagement. One summed it up simply: "We finally act like one team."Central to Monte's teaching is the distinction between leadership and management — two functions that are equally essential but routinely confused. Leadership drives vision and culture; management drives process and accountability. His coaching ensures both work together, intentionally. Having spent 14 years in global corporate roles at Syngenta before launching AddingZEROS in 2004, Monte brings real operational credibility to every engagement.Monte's mission is to impact one million executives globally — not by telling them what to do, but by teaching them how to think. For any CEO tired of being the ceiling of their own company, Monte's message is simple: stop working harder. Start building a truly aligned team.To learn more about the topics discussed, or to contact Monte directly, click the link below.Disclosure of Material Connection: This is a sponsored post.

John and Elizabeth McCormick continue their conversation. They talk about building a speaking business, the P.I.L.O.T. (Potential, Implementation, Leadership, Optimal Performance, and Tenacity) Method for growth, and how stories and experiences help connect with audiences. In the previous episode, Elizabeth discussed her journey from the U.S. Army to becoming a speaker, the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated field, and the mindset it took to never quit when everyone else doubted her.

"Coaching and mentoring are not the same thing. A mentor can tell people what to do. A coach shouldn't be telling you. Instead, they should ask, 'Well, what do you think you should do?' and help you discover the answers within you. That's coaching." "Self care is not selfish. As a leader, we have to lead by example, and that means taking care of yourself by showing up as your best for your work, yourself, and your family. So that you can be there for them and do more with the gifts you have." "Being tenacious is showing up when it's hard. It's not giving up. It's bringing your best self to everything you have, no matter what's going on around you." "Selling is serving because we are serving these potential clients. If we're not serving them, they're going to feel sold to. Nobody wants to feel that way. But if I'm serving them, that means I'm helping them, and they never feel sold to." "Values and relevancy are just as important as the solution." "Adult learners learn best from emotion-provoking stories and thought-provoking questions." "Be in your potential zone, not a comfort zone, because that's where growth happens."

Have you ever wished you could sit down with someone who has truly mastered their craft? Michael Jordan on winning; Mozart on music; Leonardo Da Vinci on creativity. Not just to review their highlight reels but to unpack all the lessons they learned across their lives? Well, that's what today's conversation feels like because today we get to listen to John C Maxwell talk about leadership.   John Maxwell is a world-renowned leadership expert and best-selling author who has trained countless leaders across industries and across the globe. It's no exaggeration to say that he has helped define the shape of modern leadership. John's life is an example of what can happen when someone stays curious, humble and committed to growth for decades, and there also something truly about getting to learn from someone who has run their race well and stayed faithful to growth over the long haul. John was honored as a GLN Legacy Leader at the 2025 global leadership Summit, and he sat down with our president and CEO, David Ashcraft for a conversation in front of a live studio audience about what a lifetime of leadership looks like.

435 | Building Your Bench Strength – Team Building for Martial Arts School Owners Podcast Description Duane and Allie get real about what it takes to build a strong team and lasting bench strength in your martial arts school. Sharing personal stories and hard-earned lessons, they break down how to create a leadership pipeline, handle sudden departures, and why systems matter for long-term success. With insights from Michael Gerber's The E-Myth and John C. Maxwell's 5 Levels of Leadership, this episode is your blueprint for building a team that can handle anything. Key Takeaways Bench strength is more than just your current staff: It's about cultivating backups, future leaders, and a strong leadership pipeline from within. Don't wait until it's too late: Most school owners build their team only after a crisis—start now to avoid scrambling later. Homegrown vs. outside hires: Promoting from within strengthens culture and loyalty, but sometimes you'll need to bring in new talent—just be ready to train them deeply. Systems are everything: The E-Myth's lesson—work “on” your business, not just “in” it. Build lesson plans, documentation, and training programs so your school runs smoothly, even when you're not there. Delegation beats abdication: True delegation means staying involved and following up—not just handing off tasks and hoping for the best. Leadership is a journey: Maxwell's 5 Levels of Leadership remind us that great teams are built by developing leaders who inspire and grow others, not just filling spots. Recruit for heart, not just skill: The best future instructors are those who care about others and embody your school's values. Cross-training and documentation are your safety net: When someone leaves, you won't be left in the dark if you've prepared. Culture and buy-in matter: Each leadership step (assistant, instructor, partner) is a new level of commitment and engagement in your school. Action Steps for School Owners Start now: Don't wait until you “need” help—begin building your bench strength today. Spot and develop future leaders: Identify one student or staff member to start grooming as a leader. Create a leadership training plan: Even a simple one with clear roles and responsibilities makes a difference. Check in regularly: Schedule team meetings and give feedback often. Read and assign: Dive into The E-Myth and Maxwell's leadership books for more on systems and leadership development. Document and cross-train: Make sure your key processes and roles are written down and that more than one person can handle each task. Reflect: Who's your MVP lately? What's one thing you wish you'd done sooner to build your bench? Additional Resources Mentioned Michael Gerber's The E-Myth (latest edition recommended) John C. Maxwell's leadership books, especially the 5 Levels of Leadership Spark school management software “Wake Up Happy” by Michael Strahan (for personal inspiration) School Owner Talk Facebook group (for sharing MVPs and team-building tips) What's your biggest team-building win—or lesson learned?

Carmela Then: The Scrum Master Who Learned That Perfect Boards Don't Build Perfect Teams Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "The failure part is, instead of leading the team to work toward a common vision, I was probably one of the persons that helped the divide." - Carmela Then   Carmela shares a vulnerable story from her first Scrum Master role at a bank. Armed with training, certifications, and the ability to build a beautiful physical Scrum board with perfectly straight lines, she believed she was ready to lead. But Carmela quickly discovered a crucial truth: mastering the mechanics of Scrum is vastly different from serving a team's real needs. Instead of showing up as a humble learner willing to grow alongside her team, she put on a facade of competence and confidence.  When two Product Owners began fighting for dominance, rather than stepping back and focusing the teams on their shared purpose, Carmela found herself drawn into the political battle, supporting one PO over the other. The result was devastating—a toxic environment where one PO was demoted, and talented team members left the organization entirely. Looking back, Carmela recognizes that her failure wasn't about the Scrum board or ceremonies; it was about not putting the customer and common goals at the center. She learned that Scrum Masters must lead with humility, focus on outcomes rather than egos, and help teams unite rather than divide.   In this episode, we refer to John C. Maxwell and Failing Forward by John C. Maxwell.   Self-reflection Question: When was the last time you prioritized looking competent over truly serving your team's needs, and what did that cost you?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

In this episode, I break down John C. Maxwell's 5 Levels of Leadership and expose the truth behind why so many people stay stuck at the bottom. Leadership isn't a title — it's a standard.
