The difference between going fast and going far lies at the heart of this powerful exploration of inclusive leadership language. Drawing from Kyle McDowell's transformative work in "Begin With We," we unpack how a simple shift from "me-centered" to "we-centered" language fundamentally reshapes organizational culture and leadership effectiveness.Language isn't merely semantic—it's biochemical. Research from Judith Glazer shows that our word choices literally change brain chemistry, either triggering defensive responses or opening pathways to trust and collaboration. Those seemingly innocent phrases like "actually, that's a good idea" or "obviously this is the right approach" might carry unintended condescending undertones that silently erode trust. When leaders shift to genuinely inclusive language, they create environments where people feel valued—and as we discover, "when people feel like they matter, they do things that matter."Values statements gain extraordinary power when they begin with "we"—transforming from corporate platitudes into invitations for collective ownership. "We do the right thing" and "We challenge each other to be better" create simultaneous inclusion and accountability. But the real cultural test comes during stress and uncertainty: do team members default to your stated values or revert to self-protection? As Tim McClure warns, "The greatest fear of any organization should be when their most passionate people become quiet." Your culture isn't defined by wall plaques but by daily habits—what you celebrate, reward, and tolerate establishes what truly matters.Ready to transform your leadership through the power of language?

Have you ever led a team where true connection felt out of reach? Kyle McDowell, once a top executive in Fortune 10 companies, had a powerful realization—his leadership was driven by fear, not respect. This moment sparked a transformation that led to his "Begin With We" philosophy: 10 principles focused on shifting from individual success to collective excellence.Kyle shares a pivotal moment—alone in a hotel room, preparing to address 50 leaders—when he realized he needed a new approach. Principles like “We do the right thing always” and “We challenge each other” became the backbone of a more authentic, values-driven leadership style, centered on trust and vulnerability.He explains how even small changes in language—like saying “our team” instead of “my team”—can reshape culture. His ABCs of teamwork are simple but powerful: Add value, Be valued, and Connect to purpose. When leaders meet these needs, teams thrive.Kyle's message is a call to break the cycle of toxic leadership and build something better. Whether you lead five people or five thousand, starting with “we” can change everything.

Send us a textWhat happens when a successful Fortune 10 executive realizes he has become the very type of leader he once despised? The vanity metrics of titles, compensation, and corner offices couldn't fill the void created by dysfunctional workplace cultures. Kyle McDowell's awakening after decades in corporate America led to a profound question that changed everything: "Is there a better way?"Most organizations wait for "those leaders" – some mythical senior leadership group – to drive cultural change. Kyle's refreshing perspective challenges us to recognize that we can be "those leaders" regardless of title or position. Ready to find the fulfillment you've been chasing and create a leadership legacy you'll be proud of? Listen now to discover how being "a good human" might be the most potent leadership strategy of all.Episode Guest: Kyle McDowellWebsite: www.kylemcdowellinc.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kylemcdowellinc  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kylemcdowellinc/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kylemcdowellinc All episodes and guest requests can be found at:www.leadershipmomentspodcast.comFollow Stacey Caster on Instagram @staceycaster_Follow Tracy-Ann Palmer on Instagram @tracy_ann_palmer

But very few train them to treat each other in the right way. Leaders need to understand the personal missions of each person they lead and help them to fulfil them, while also playing their role in achieving the business´ mission. Leaders set the tone. The best way to teach is to lead by example. Leaders need to live by the 10 Wes too and be prepared to be challenged diplomatically by our colleagues. Challenging others has to be done in the right way. Consistently doing the right thing is essential. Our commitments to our teammates and internal customers are just as important as those we make to our customers. Be tough on the mistakes, not on the people who make them. Challenges come regardless, embrace them, let them galvanise you and be ready to change if you need to. Care about what you do and your impact on others. BEST MOMENTS ‘I found myself leading 10s of 1000s of employees,' ‘Being a great leader is simple, but simple does not mean easy.' ‘It takes a leap of faith.' ‘These principles have changed my life.'   GUEST AND EPISODE RESOURCES Book & website: https://kylemcdowellinc.com/ Socials - @kylemcdowellinc ABOUT THE SHOW People with purpose make a difference.

I hope so. I'm I'm just thrilled 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.000 to be here. I anytime I get a 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:43.000 chance to kind of spread the message and 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.000 evangelize the work that I'm doing, especially on 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:47.000 a podcast that's been around as long as 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.000 yours, I jump at it. So, again, thank 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.000 you. Awesome. Awesome. Well, you are a former 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.000 fortune ten executive that turned to a Wall 00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.000 Street and USA Today best selling author. 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.000 And speaker. You're traveling the world man on 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.000 all sorts of stages, but before we dive 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.000 it, man, you are today, man. There's a 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.000 backstory in there. And something that makes Kyle 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:08.000 tick, and I'd love to see if we 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.000 can pull some of that out. 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.000 Yeah. You thank you for that. I'd be 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.000 remiss because I if I didn't just start 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.000 early on. 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.000 I I I was very fortunate to have, 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.000 a mother who had an incredible work ethic, 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.000 out she was a single parent mom for, 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.000 the first several years of of my life 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.000 until she met a wonderful man who became 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.000 my stepdad. And, you know, they always instilled 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.000 a sense of work ethic in me that 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.000 I just don't think 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.000 you can replicate. I don't I think it's 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.000 hard to to teach it if it doesn't 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.000 start at an early age. 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.000 So I just learned the value of a 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.000 dollar and the value of 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.000 or the connection rather between 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.000 hard work and outcomes. If you want something, 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.000 you gotta go work for it. I'll never 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.000 forget, man.

Welcome back to Making Bank. On today's episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Dr. Noah St. John, Brett Berish, Bob Moesta, Cameron Herold, Rudy Mawer, Kyle Mcdowell & John Livesay and in this episode you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about how to successfully shape your business for growth and success.   (1:29) Dr. Noah St. John Your business's success story highly depends on these three main things. What do you offer? If you don't have the right offer, nothing else matters. The next thing is you need the right funnels, which is how you sell it. And lastly you need the traffic, which is getting your offer and your funnel in front of the right people that you know will give you money.   (4:34) Brett Berish You have to have a little bit of everything and work really hard in order for your business to excel. The reason being is that sometimes you may offer the best service or have the best looking product to sell but if your marketing is bad, it won't do you much good. Or it's the other way around. You have good marketing but your product has nothing to offer. It's important to have a little bit of everything.    (7:46) Bob Moesta People don't buy products. They hire them to do a job in their life. So figure out what the job is then you can design the product .Focus on the demand side, where people want to make progress, but can't. And after you know this it becomes relatively easy to pull the technology together. Always understand the demand first and then figure out how to shape a product to fit demand.    (11:01) Cameron Herold When your business grows, the people around the company need to grow as well. You will need to start hiring people for different roles and responsibilities. This method can be done using the ones and threes. You go from one to three, from three to ten, ten to thirty and thirty to a hundred. At every stage of the company, you need to invest in people. The more you grow their skills, the more they grow their confidence, the more they'll grow the company for you. (14:25) Rudy Mawer Many people experience burnouts in their business journey. A burnout is when you lose a bit of the vision or the path forward or the future. A huge part of it is also physical, however the more progress you make, the more work you will have to do so you need to keep working on your vision because that is the one thing that is going to keep pushing you even when your workload increases. ‘   (17:27) Kyle McDowell Think like the founder and you'll recognize many opportunities for improvement. If you see someone's not pulling their own weight or they're phoning it in, as a founder you are not going to stand for that. So if you think like the founder, you take on ownership, which may be an uncomfortable word for a lot of people, however it is very important if you want to be successful and lead a team and a culture of excellence.   (23:57) John Livesay You have to be your own lifeguard. No one is going to come help you if you are in trouble. You cannot expect people to drop everything they have on their own plate to come save you. You have to pull yourself through.Get educated, learn things, learn from mistakes, improve yourself. Do whatever it is you need to do in order for you to be able to save yourself in case you ever land yourself in trouble.   Links: @noahstjohn  @brettberishceo  @bmoesta  @cameron_herold_cooalliance @rudymawerlife  @kylemcdowellinc  @thepitchwhisperer

Importance Of Leadership #MakingBank #S7E29 Welcome back to Making Bank. On today's episode, we have Kyle McDowell who is a best-selling author, speaker, and leadership expert. With nearly three decades of experience leading tens of thousands of employees as some of the largest companies in America, including UnitedHealth Group, CVS Health, Bank of America. Kyle's passion for people and proven track record for cultivating truly authentic and courageous leaders was born from an unwavering belief that there's a better way to thrive in corporate America.   Check out today's episode with Kyle McDowell on Making Bank.   (2:30) Background Kyle tells us about his early working life where he spent nearly 30 years in corporate America. For his first job he worked in a regional bank in Tampa and this was the start of his life where he was thrown into a lot of work situations where he got to notice how much he can give from a leader's perspective.   (4:25) Boss Vs Leader A boss is someone that checks boxes, they are always ready to call you out or point out your errors and tell you where you're lacking in terms of your delivery. A leader is also the same but the major difference is the leader actually cares.   (8:07) Vulnerability Being vulnerable involves recognizing faults, recognizing areas of fear, recognizing that we don't have all the answers. It's inauthentic for us to act like we're not concerned or we don't have faults. We need to be authentic. We need to just be us.   (11:00) Principles The most important principle that we all should follow is to always do the right thing.  This will matter a lot because if we deviate from our ways we can always go back to the foundation of doing the right thing.   (14:37) Common Issues Most common issue faced is obsessing over activity and judging ourselves based on our activity versus the outcome. Kyle talks about this one issue that even big companies faced in today's world. (18:33) Taking Ownership We need to think like the founder whenever we do any project for a company or organization because when we do this we take ownership completely of the work we do and we will automatically give our best and try to shoot for maximum excellence.   (24:49) Setting Clear Expectation Too many times we expect people to do things and behave in a way that we've not really set the clear expectation and then we wonder why they failed or we wonder why they've stumbled. We need to do the right thing. We need to lead by example. We need to say what we're gonna do, and then we do it.   Links: @kylemcdowellinc www.kylemcdowellinc.com
