Patrick Emmons is the founder of DragonSpears and president of Improving Chicago. For more than two decades, he has built, scaled, and sold technology companies while helping organizations develop stronger leaders and healthier teams. Patrick believes the strongest organizations don't depend on a few exceptional leaders. They grow because leaders are developed at every level. In our conversation, we explore why authentic leadership begins with accepting feedback before asking others to change, why coaching and consistent reinforcement develop stronger teams than annual performance reviews, and how building frontline leaders creates organizations that can grow without relying on micromanagement. If you're building a team that can grow beyond your own leadership, this conversation offers practical lessons for developing leaders throughout your organization.

In this episode of Lead Culture, Jenni Catron shares what she learned during an extended summer break and why stepping back can be essential for sustainable leadership. She reflects on the tension between doing and being, the challenge of slowing down, and how time away revealed deeper questions about purpose, significance, and identity.Jenni opens with a reminder that culture does not take care of itself and that leaders must lead with intention. She then shares how her sabbatical included time with friends and family, reading, rest, and intentional disconnection from social media, email, and Slack. Even though the break was restful, it also surfaced a struggle many overachievers face: feeling significant only when they are productive.A major takeaway from the episode is that nothing magical happened on sabbatical — and that was the point. Instead of chasing big ideas or a new vision, Jenni focused on stillness, presence, and making space for what matters most. She describes how this time helped her recognize the importance of creative space, mental rest, and the right-brain work of meaning-making and reflection.Jenni also connects her personal experience to a broader cultural insight, referencing Arthur Brooks' research on how modern life often overvalues efficiency and problem-solving while undernourishing meaning, creativity, and human connection. She shares how this tension was made even more vivid in the wake of an EF3 tornado in her community, where people rallied together and reminded her that people are the point.Key TakeawaysHealthy leaders need rhythms that sustain them.Rest is productive when it creates space for meaning and clarity.Leaders often confuse being with doing.Creativity, stillness, and reflection are essential leadership practices.People should remain the priority, even in busy or crisis-filled seasons.Questions Jenni Asks LeadersWhat can you do that disrupts your rhythms and lowers your heart rate?How can you disconnect your doing from your being?Are you making space for quiet, creativity, and presence?What rhythms do you need to lead in a healthy, sustainable way?Resources MentionedInvitation to Solitude and Silence by Ruth Haley BartonThe Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark ComerThe Sabbatical Journey by Alan BriggsThe Meaning of Life by Arthur BrooksJenni's book Clout: Discover and Unleash Your God-given InfluenceClosing EncouragementJenni ends by encouraging leaders to protect the rhythms that keep them healthy, purposeful, and present — not only for their own well-being, but for the health of their teams and cultures.

In this episode, Dr. Killeen shares how he is developing leadership within his own practice by teaching his Team Leader, Stephanie, not only how to lead, but how to teach leadership to the leaders beneath her. The goal is to move beyond an owner-centered practice where every decision runs through one person. He breaks down the three layers of this approach: clarity, ownership, and multiplication. When leaders understand the vision, have real authority to make decisions, and learn how to develop other leaders, the impact can spread throughout the entire organization. The goal isn't to become the best leader in the practice. It's to build a practice full of leaders.

What if every college graduate left campus with the mindset, confidence, and skills to solve complex problems and create opportunities wherever they go? In this episode, Nicole Jansen sits down with Jeff Meade, Founding Director of Entrepreneurship at Paul Quinn College, where every student learns to think and act like an entrepreneur. Rather than preparing students for jobs that may not exist in a few years, Jeff and his team are equipping them to solve real-world problems, create value, embrace failure as part of the learning process, and confidently adapt to an ever-changing world.

This week on The Audit Podcast, Tim Buckley, founder of Beyond the Lines, joins the show to interview Trent Russell, founder of Green Skies Analytics, about how AI and analytics can fundamentally change the way internal audit teams operate. Trent explains why audit leaders need to move beyond isolated AI use cases and think about how technology can reshape the entire audit operating model. He breaks down why teams need an AI and analytics methodology, how AI can improve planning and reporting, and why analytics should be focused on finding meaningful insights rather than simply increasing efficiency. Trent also shares real-world examples of teams using AI agents and orchestration to automate large portions of audit planning, explains how AI can help identify risks auditors may otherwise miss, and discusses the growing importance of human judgment and critical thinking as more audit work becomes automated. He also offers practical advice for audit leaders looking to overcome management resistance and start making meaningful changes today. 05:03 Why AI and Analytics Matter for Audit Leaders 06:18 Why You Need to Rethink the Audit Operating Model 08:21 Isolated AI Use Cases vs. Real Transformation 11:17 Where AI and Analytics Are Overhyped and Underused 16:27 How AI Can Change Audit Planning 19:30 Using AI and Analytics to Improve Audit Quality 23:13 How AI Can Transform Audit Reporting 26:01 Why Auditors Need to Protect Judgment and Critical Thinking 34:47 Governance and the Human-in-the-Loop 43:50 What Audit Leaders Can Change in the Next 30 Days Be sure to connect with Trent Russell on LinkedIn and check out Green Skies Analytics for more resources on audit analytics and AI.

Everyone wants a bigger Vision Story of Success, but very few people have a decision-making framework strong enough to protect it. Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete unpack why core values are the invisible force behind sustainable growth, resilient leadership, healthy relationships, and thriving businesses. Through practical frameworks and deeply personal stories, they reveal how alignment between values, vision, and daily behavior becomes the difference between burnout and peace, between chasing success and actually living it. If success has ever felt harder than it should, the answer may not be working harder, but getting clearer about what truly matters. This episode will help you get there. In This Episode You Will Discover: Why some of the biggest business struggles are actually values problems in disguise. The surprising reason highly successful leaders walk away from opportunities others would chase. A simple framework that exposes whether daily decisions are building success or quietly working against it. The hidden difference between having values and actually living by them. How one deeply personal story reveals the real cost of making decisions that conflict with what matters most. Episode Highlights 01:15 - Core values can shape wealth far beyond finances, influencing business, health, marriage, family, and everyday life. 03:11 - Meaningful growth requires values strong enough to build resilience, character, and leadership capacity. 04:39 - A simple distinction reveals whether core values are guiding the business or merely decorating the wall. 08:04 - Sustainable success looks very different from a short burst of growth followed by exhaustion and burnout. 09:14 - The relationship between core values, vision, and behavior determines whether a leader is truly operating in alignment. 11:47 - Calendars, spending habits, attention, and energy often reveal personal values more clearly than words do. 13:55 - Misalignment between values and daily behavior creates stress, friction, and unnecessary difficulty. 16:49 - Burnout may be signaling something deeper than workload alone. 19:12 - Leaders can use core values as a practical standard for personal accountability, hiring, and team culture. 23:40 - One framework helps organize aligned values across life, marriage, parenting, finances, and business. 27:23 - A major personal dream becomes a real-world lesson in using values to make difficult decisions. 31:23 - Saying no to the wrong opportunity can protect freedom, peace of mind, and long-term success. 33:02 - The right technology should give chiropractors more time to care for people, not more work to manage. Dr. Pete speaks with Gabriel Doty from Success Partner ChiroHD about building smarter practice management software that streamlines workflows, improves efficiency, embraces meaningful AI innovation, and helps chiropractic practices scale with confidence while preparing for long-term success.

What if the skill that makes a comedian great on an unscripted stage is the same skill that makes a leader great in an unpredictable economy?Layoffs and AI have left a lot of people feeling like a line item instead of a human being. Jordana Cole flips that on its head: you are not the resource, you are the source.Jordana is an applied improviser, Gallup Strengths Coach, and University of Pennsylvania positive psychology grad. In this episode she joins host Ashish Kothari to turn a decade on the improv stage into a practical playbook for leading through uncertainty.Together they dig into why AI has no source material without us, why uncertainty is the constant rather than the exception, why an 80/20 tilt toward strengths beats the grind of fixing what is broken, and why play is not a reward for hard work but the thing that makes hard work possible.Improvisation, not certainty, is the human edge in the age of AI. You will walk away with three things you can try this week and one brainstorming trick that changes how your team thinks.What You Will Learn:You are the source, not the resource. AI has nothing to learn from without us.Uncertainty is the constant, not the exception. Possibility, not threat.Play to the scene you're in. Accept reality first, then decide what's next.Lead with your strengths. Gallup: 3x higher quality of life, 6x more engagement.Co-create, including with AI.

In this episode of Leaders in Living Rooms, host Sean Morgan sits down with author and leader Dave Ferguson to reflect on the lasting impact and evolving lessons of Hero Maker and kingdom multiplication. Dave challenges the misconception that becoming a "hero maker" means sacrificing leadership influence, showing instead that pouring into others is the key to compounding long-term kingdom impact. Together, they explore how effective ministry leaders change the way they keep score, shifting focus from Sunday attendance to tracking their sent "family tree" of church planters, and explain why adopting fresh leadership language is essential for reshaping organizational culture and future paradigms. Welcome to Episode 165 of the Leaders in Living Rooms Podcast with Sean Morgan.
In this episode, Ray explores the uncomfortable truth: firm culture is revealed through what leaders reward, tolerate, and ignore on a typical Monday morning. For advisory firm owners, understanding your actual culture, not your aspirational values, has direct business impact.Ray makes the connection concrete: research from SHRM shows that employee experience and engagement account for 42% of turnover intent. Regrettable attrition is expensive. More importantly, in relational advisory businesses, internal culture becomes external client experience. Clients feel when teams are aligned, communication is clear, and people are supported. They also feel when turnover disrupts continuity and people are burned out.This episode is built around an immediately actionable framework: the culture evidence review. Rather than running another employee survey, Ray walks you through five practical questions that move culture from sentiment to evidence. You'll learn what to examine, what it means when certain behaviors are tolerated, and how to use stay interviews to listen early before exit interviews teach expensive lessons.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODEWhy culture is revealed through behavior, not proclamation, and how to examine evidence instead of languageHow employee experience and engagement directly correlate with turnover intent (and the research that proves it)The five-question culture evidence review framework that translates culture into measurable leadership decisionsWhy tolerated behaviors become permission and what behaviors are costing your firm stability and client continuityHow to use stay interviews to listen early and understand what your best people need to stay engagedTHE FIVE-QUESTION CULTURE EVIDENCE REVIEWWhat behaviors are rewarded around here? Look past the value statement. Who gets promoted, praised, paid, invited to important conversations? Do you reward people who develop others or only those who generate revenue? Do you reward collaboration or information control? Do you reward system improvement or crisis heroics?What behaviors are tolerated? Every firm tolerates something. Poor follow-through, weak meetings, avoided feedback, disrespectful communication, hoarded clients, undermining peers, not using the CRM, treating staff as support instead of colleagues. When leaders tolerate these behaviors, tolerance becomes permission.What do employees fear saying out loud? Your team may know where the firm is stuck before leaders admit it. They know which processes are broken, which client segments drain the team, which advisors are difficult. A healthy culture gives truth a place to go.What are stay interviews telling us? Ask why people stay, what might cause them to leave, where they feel underutilized or unsupported, and what would help them grow. Listen early.What is AI anxiety doing to the culture? Employees may not directly name AI fear. They hesitate to use tools, fear being replaced, or assume productivity gains mean more work. Leaders need to surface this conversation.COACHING QUESTIONS FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAMWhat behaviors are shaping your culture more than your stated values do?Where is the firm tolerating behavior that undermines trust or performance?What would your employees say the culture rewards most in your firm?What are stay interviews telling you before exit interviews make the lesson costly?How is AI anxiety manifesting in the culture, even if people are not naming it directly?Building the Billion Dollar Business is hosted by Ray Sclafani, Founder and CEO of ClientWise, the financial services industry's leading executive coaching and team development firm for elite advisors and wealth management teams.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube

Send us Fan MailYou can't rise above your environment — and your environment isn't a building or a location. It's the people. In this "come to Jesus" episode, Dr. Una makes the case that your business is a precious thing (think: wearing white in a room full of wet paint, or a newborn you won't let just anyone hold), and that guarding it means being ruthlessly intentional about who gets close to you.Every win you create, every skill you build, every dollar you earn can be quietly undone by the wrong inner circle. So this episode is a challenge: audit the people around you. Because relationships shouldn't just happen to you — you choose them. You play offense and defense.Dr. Una breaks down the 7 kinds of people to keep out of your inner circle — the traits that rub off on you whether you notice or not — and how to intentionally insert yourself into the rooms that pull you up instead.Key TakeawaysYou cannot rise above your environment — and your environment is the people in it.Your vision, calling, and business are precious. Guard them like you'd guard a newborn.This isn't about eliminating people or being unkind — it's about reducing the proximity of these traits to you and the amount of time you're exposed to them.You will encounter these seven people. Sometimes you are one of them. The work is awareness, not judgment.Curate your inner circle on purpose: intentionally avoid certain people, and intentionally insert yourself into the rooms that stretch you.Memorable Quotes"The starting point of radical transformation is radical ownership.""Leaders are readers. The end.""This is your one life. This is not the rehearsal.""You wear white and you're hugging somebody with mud on them — the mud is going to get on you."Let's ConnectWhich of these 7 do you have in your inner circle right now?

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode This week, we are kicking off a brand-new series about the undecided man. There is a core truth you must understand: a man who decides in advance never negotiates with the storm. If you do not have principles to guide your decisions, you aren't free—you are just up for grabs for whoever or whatever wants to steal your attention.When you live without deciding in advance, you pay a catastrophic price. I break down the four main ways indecision is quietly destroying your family, your business, and your leadership: Every rule you bend in the moment: When you avoid difficult conversations because you're worried about ruining a friendship or because you like someone, you will pay the price. Leaders who bend the rules for people they like lose respect and build a destructive environment. Standards must be based on facts and logic, not feelings. Every choice you make on a feeling: True integrity means keeping the rules the exact same for everybody—rooted in honesty, uncompromising belief in God, peace, freedom, and family structure. It doesn't matter how close our relationship is; if you step outside those principles, the standard does not bend. Every lesson you refuse to name: I was recently talking with my CFO about an interesting business dynamic we went through, and I was blown away by the total lack of awareness and refusal to name the lessons in what happened. If you don't sit back and name your lessons, you cannot learn through them. Every mistake you excuse again: When you constantly justify and excuse your mistakes, you create a loop. If you don't break it, their loop eventually becomes your lived reality. Stop negotiating with the storm. Warriors Rise!

How do leaders remain faithful, fruitful, and grounded over the long haul? In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling sits down with Eric Geiger, Senior Pastor of Mariners Church and author of The Rooted Leader, to explore what it means to cultivate deep roots as a leader. Drawing from the life of Nehemiah, Eric shares why leadership failures rarely happen overnight, what causes leaders to drift from their deepest convictions, and how healthy rhythms help leaders remain steady through seasons of pressure, challenge, and change.

Leadership often rewards people who take ownership, but what happens when responsibility becomes over-responsibility?In this solo episode, Dr. McKinley explores The Paradox of Responsibility: the tension between owning what is yours while resisting the temptation to carry what belongs to others. Drawing from personal stories, leadership coaching, and insights from thinkers like Stephen Covey and Edwin Friedman, he examines why so many leaders become exhausted by taking on burdens they were never meant to carry.If you've ever struggled with burnout, over-functioning, or feeling responsible for everyone else's growth, this episode will help you lead with greater clarity, healthier boundaries, and the discernment to know what truly belongs to you.To Order Doug's Books: The Resiliency Quest, Mad About Us Visit Doug's Website: https://www.dougmckinley.com/ Receive a Free Leadership Resource: Leadership Guide

Jenny Curtin partners with schools and districts across New England on behalf of the Barr Foundation, where she helps build and scale Transformative Learning Experiences — rigorous, project-based units developed with partner Springpoint that pull students out of the classroom and into courtrooms, communities, and real business ventures. Her work runs on a philanthropic value most funders don't practice: taking the long view, and staying with schools through the slow, unglamorous work of actual change. A student named Buddha dropped out of high school after years of disconnected, irrelevant coursework — and became his graduation class speaker after enrolling somewhere that taught differently. Jenny Curtin of the Barr Foundation joins the show to explain the model behind that turnaround, and why most school transformation efforts stall before they ever reach a kid like him.
What makes a spiritual leader trustworthy? Through 1 Timothy 3:1 through 7, Chrissy Cole examines biblical leadership and the character God desires in those who lead. Trust begins with calling, is earned through character, starts at home, and takes time, ultimately pointing us to Jesus as the perfect trustworthy Shepherd and the One we must surrender our lives to follow.

They emphasize the importance of understanding one’s identity beyond roles and societal expectations, particularly during life transitions. Key Insights Identity Exploration: The fundamental question of “Who am I?” is central to personal growth. Identity is not static; it evolves through life experiences and transitions, such as changes in church callings or family dynamics. Deeper Understanding: True identity goes beyond titles like “mother” or “bishop.” It involves understanding personal values, beliefs, and what makes each individual unique. Belonging vs. Fitting In: There is a distinction between belonging (sharing core beliefs) and fitting in (conforming to external expectations). Leaders should encourage individuality within the community to enhance unity. Risk and Growth: Personal growth often requires taking risks and stepping outside comfort zones. Experiences, such as retreats, can facilitate deeper understanding and wisdom. Mature vs. Immature Identity: Immature identity relies on external validation, while mature identity is anchored in self-awareness and allows for flexibility and growth. Leadership Applications Encourage Individuality: Leaders can foster an environment where members feel safe to express their unique identities, which can enhance community strength and diversity. Facilitate Experiences: Organizing smaller group discussions or experiential learning opportunities can help members explore their identities and support each other through personal challenges. Model Vulnerability: Leaders should be open about their own identity journeys, demonstrating that it is acceptable to question and explore one’s faith and personal growth, thereby creating a culture of openness and support. 00:05:07 – The Concept of Identity 00:06:40 – Exploring Identity Beyond Roles 00:08:07 – The Depth of Identity in the Gospel 00:09:32 – The Paradox of Identity and Individuality 00:10:29 – Navigating Group Identity vs. Individual Identity 00:12:28 – Personal Experiences with Identity 00:15:00 – The Downings’ Journey into Identity Work 00:18:01 – The Importance of Self-Discovery 00:20:40 – The Role of Experience in Identity Formation 00:24:40 – The Balance of Self and God's Expectations 00:26:41 – Mature vs. Immature Identity 00:30:12 – The Role of Risk in Growth 00:32:15 – Experiential Learning and Retreats 00:34:22 – The Need for Community in Personal Growth 00:36:47 – The Importance of Anchors in Identity 00:39:14 – Embracing the Journey of Identity The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints’ mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

I want to close this week on something that genuinely stopped me in my tracks. A pair of bald eagles I've been following for years at White Rock Lake just raised three eaglets, and watching them this week reminded me of something we all need to hear. If you are truly exceptional at something, you will not have to beg for attention. People will stop what they are doing and watch. But the real lesson I took from those birds has nothing to do with the crowd below them. It has everything to do with the fact that the eagles never once looked down. Key Takeaways Exceptional people attract attention naturally. You do not have to chase recognition when you commit to being truly great at something. Eagles do not think about their audience. The moment you stop performing for others and start executing for yourself is when real growth begins. Worrying about what people think pulls you out of the zone you need to be in. That distraction is costing you more than you realize. Leaders do not wait for consensus. They make the move, set the direction, and let others follow. You need to dictate your own terms. Stop letting outside pressure, opinions, or the flow of the crowd decide what you do and when you do it. Action Steps Identify one craft or skill you want to be apex-level great at and cut the distractions pulling you toward being average at many things instead. Catch yourself the next time you spiral into worrying about others' perception of you. Redirect that mental energy back to your own goal and execution. Make one decision this week purely on your own terms, not because someone pressured you or because it is what everyone else is doing. Notable Quote We're both gonna have that in common. We're both focused on me. That's how you have to treat your life.
Children are naturally curious, creative, and willing to try things many adults hesitate to attempt. When we give them space to explore ideas, incredible things can happen.In this conversation, I speak with Leah Ellis, founder of the Society of Child Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit helping kids ages six to seventeen build confidence, leadership, and real world business skills through hands on entrepreneurship.Inspired by her daughter starting a business at four, Leah created a program where children learn to spot problems, create solutions, and turn their ideas into real businesses. We also talk about her work advocating for lemonade stand laws that remove barriers so kids can safely run small businesses and gain real world experience.Her mission is simple. Kids are capable of leadership right now.In this episode• Why ages eight to twelve are a powerful window for entrepreneurship • The difference between child labor and child entrepreneurship • How kids learn resilience by failing forward • Teaching financial literacy and leadership early • Why problem spotting is the heart of entrepreneurshipLeah leaves us with this challenge:“Ask your kids how in this specific way. Ask your kids something they've noticed that they wish they could change. Then ask them how they would change it, because I bet they already have an idea. If you ask how enough times, you can build a business.

Executive Summary: Workplace betrayal doesn't just cost you a relationship — it costs you trust in your own judgment. Dr. Debi Silber joins Sabrina Braham to unpack a stage-based path back to confidence, using real coaching stories instead of easy platitudes, so leaders can rebuild what betrayal breaks: themselves. Quick Takeaways: Betrayal breaks trust in yourself, not just in the person who betrayed you Losing your voice in meetings is often a betrayal symptom, not a confidence problem Recovery moves through stages — you can't skip to "just get over it" Your intuition can be rebuilt with a simple daily practice 78% of employees say they trust their employer most of any institution (Edelman, 2026) As an executive leadership coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC), I've sat across from directors, VPs, and C-suite leaders who could run a board meeting flawlessly and still couldn't shake the feeling that they didn't trust their own read on people anymore. That's what workplace betrayal does. It doesn't announce itself as trauma — it shows up as hesitation, over-checking, and a leader who used to speak up in meetings suddenly going quiet. In this episode of the Women's Leadership Success Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Debi Silber, a holistic psychologist and founder of the PBT Institute, for a workplace betrayal recovery conversation about what betrayal actually does to a leader's confidence, judgment, and career trajectory — and what it takes to rebuild. Why Workplace Betrayal Hits Differently Than Other Career Setbacks Most leadership content treats betrayal like a subcategory of stress or conflict. Dr. Silber's central point in this conversation is that it isn't. A layoff, a missed promotion, even a bad performance review — these are painful, but they don't usually make you question your own perception. Betrayal does. When someone you trusted — a boss, a peer, a mentor — acts against you, the injury isn't just what they did. It's that your internal compass, the one that told you this person was safe, was wrong. That's a different kind of damage, and it requires a different kind of recovery. This distinction matters for women in leadership specifically. Executive presence is built on decisiveness and trust in your own judgment — the "gravitas" that research consistently identifies as the core pillar of how leaders are evaluated for advancement. When betrayal quietly erodes that self-trust, it doesn't just hurt personally. It shows up publicly, in hesitation during exactly the moments a leader is expected to be most sure of herself. A Client Story: When Betrayal Shows Up as "Losing Your Voice" I shared a story with Dr. Debi about a client I'll call Jenny. Jenny was sharp, capable, and well-respected — until a workplace betrayal knocked something loose. She stopped negotiating. She stopped advocating for herself in meetings where she used to be the first voice in the room. From the outside, it looked like a confidence problem. It wasn't. It was betrayal doing exactly what it does: convincing a capable leader that her own instincts couldn't be trusted anymore. The Real Cost: What Betrayal Quietly Takes From Leaders Left unaddressed, workplace betrayal tends to produce three patterns in otherwise strong leaders: Loss of personal power. Leaders stop negotiating for themselves — raises, promotions, credit for their work — because some part of them no longer trusts that speaking up is safe. Self-protective isolation. As Dr. Debi put it in our conversation, many people conclude it's "better to keep everyone at a distance than risk that chance that someone may get close to us again." It feels like self-protection. It functions like a ceiling on your influence. Eroded intuition. The instinct that once flagged red flags in coworkers or bosses goes quiet, because the last time it "worked," it still let you get hurt.

Tools used with clients who've gone on to earn promotions and six-figure roles Get the Leading Before You're Ready Playbook ? How to Notice You're Still Carrying It One of the most useful moments in this conversation is Dr. Debi's answer to a simple question: how does someone even realize betrayal is still affecting them? Her answer wasn't a checklist of symptoms — it was three places to look: your health, your work, and your relationships. If any of those three areas feels "off" in a way you can't quite explain, unresolved betrayal is worth considering as a root cause, not just stress or burnout. Workplace Betrayal Recovery: Why You Can't Skip to "Just Move On" A recurring frustration Dr. Debi and I discussed is how often people are told to "just get over it" — as though healing from betrayal were a decision instead of a process. In her framework, recovery moves through stages, not a single leap. You can't talk yourself into Stage Four while you're still standing in Stage One. Trying to skip ahead is exactly why so many leaders feel stuck: they've done the mental work of "deciding to move on" without doing the deeper work each stage requires. The practical implication for leaders: if you've told yourself to "get over" a workplace betrayal and it hasn't stuck, that's not a willpower failure. It's a sign you skipped a stage. Rebuilding Trust in Your Intuition Dr. Debi was direct about this: "we have to rebuild trust in our intuition, in our wise inner guide, whatever you want to call it." The practice she described is simple — the next time something feels off with a coworker or a boss, a small signal that something "feels shady," pause and name it instead of dismissing it. Every time you notice the signal and honor it, even in a small, low-stakes way, you rebuild the muscle betrayal weakened. Rebuilding Identity: Keep What You Love, Release the Rest The second piece of the framework is about identity, not just instinct. As Dr. Debi framed it: figure out "what are all the parts you love" about who you are — those come with you into the next chapter. The rest doesn't have to. This isn't about becoming a different person. It's about consciously choosing which parts of your pre-betrayal self are worth rebuilding and which parts were never serving you anyway. That reframe — "you're rewriting a new script" — is the shift from surviving betrayal to authoring what comes after it. A useful self-check Dr. Debi offered: picture the version of you on the other side of this, fully rebuilt. Would she do the things you're currently doing and saying? If not, that gap is exactly where to start. Implement This Week: A 4-Step Action Plan Step 1 (15 minutes): Run the three-area check. Write down one honest observation each about your health, your work, and your relationships right now. Look for the thread connecting them. Step 2 (10 minutes/day): Practice the intuition pause. Once a day, when something feels slightly off in an interaction, pause and name it silently instead of dismissing it. Track how often your read turns out to be accurate. Step 3 (30 minutes): Do the "parts you love" inventory. List the traits, habits, and strengths you want to carry forward. Separately, list what you're willing to release. Keep the first list somewhere visible. Step 4 (ongoing): Use the future-self test. Before a hard conversation or decision this week, ask: would my fully rebuilt self do this? Let the answer guide you, not the fear in the moment. Success metric: By the end of one week, aim to catch and honor your intuition at least five times — even in small moments. That's the rebuild in motion. Common Mistakes Leaders Make After a Workplace Betrayal Mistake 1: Treating it as a confidence problem instead of a trust problem. Confidence-building tactics (power poses, affirmations) don't address a broken intuition. They mask the symptom while the root cause stays untouched. Mistake 2: Trying to "just get over it" without moving through the stages. Deciding to move on isn't the same as doing the work each stage requires. This is why the same hurt tends to resurface in new relationships and new roles. Mistake 3: Isolating as a permanent strategy. Keeping everyone at a distance feels protective short-term. Long-term, it caps your influence, your network, and your visibility for the next promotion. Mistake 4: Trying to heal alone. You don't have to do this without support — a coach, a trusted peer, or a mentor can see the gap between where you are and your future self faster than you can see it yourself. People Also Ask What is workplace betrayal, exactly? Workplace betrayal happens when someone you trusted at work — a manager, peer, or mentor — acts against your interests in a way that violates that trust. It's distinct from ordinary workplace conflict because it damages your trust in your own judgment, not just your view of the other person. How is betrayal different from burnout? Burnout is typically caused by chronic overwork or lack of resources. Betrayal is caused by a specific breach of trust and often produces symptoms — hesitation, isolation, eroded intuition — that can look like burnout but require a different kind of recovery. Can you really rebuild trust in your own intuition? Yes. Dr. Debi Silber describes it as a practice, not an event: consistently noticing and honoring small intuitive signals rebuilds the confidence in your own perception that betrayal damaged. How do I know if I'm still carrying an old workplace betrayal? Look at three areas: your health, your work, and your relationships. Unexplained tension in any of them can be a sign that an old betrayal hasn't fully been processed. ...

#380: Relationships Shape Everything: What Leaders Must Know to Build Community (David “Dae-Lee” Arrington)Episode SummaryMany nonprofit leaders believe they've built real community and trust within their organizations — but David “Dae-Lee” Arrington argues that what looks like connection is often just proximity, and that gap is costing leaders more than they realize. Founder and CEO of Bridge Builder Leadership in Charlotte, NC, Dae-Lee shares how his own journey - from a Black, working-class neighborhood in Norfolk, Virginia to a mostly white, affluent Charlotte suburb at age nineteen - sparked a career spent helping leaders move from transactional relationships to transformational ones. He introduces the idea that “growth can hide fragmentation,” explains why psychological safety and trust function as an under-built layer of leadership infrastructure, and walks through the three-question framework: Who Am I? Who Are They? Who Are We? that grounds his Bridge Builder cohorts. Listeners will walk away with a concrete first step for building trust across difference, and a challenge to examine whether their own relationships are truly authentic or simply convenient.About Dae-LeeDavid “Dae-Lee” Arrington is the Founder and CEO of Bridge Builder Leadership, a Charlotte, NC-based organization that builds relational capacity and trust infrastructure among leaders across sectors, race, and generation. Raised in the Huntersville neighborhood of Norfolk, Virginia, he moved to Charlotte at nineteen in 2001, an experience that reshaped how he thought about community and connection across difference. He studied multimedia web design at the Art Institute of Charlotte and spent his early career split between the tech and entertainment worlds, working as a producer and recording artist while using music to bring people together in Charlotte's faith community and later as part of the Creative Mornings leadership team. Prompted by conversations with fellow leaders following the death of Keith Lamont Scott in 2016 and the events of 2020, Dae-Lee launched Bridge Builder Leadership to help leaders build the relational foundation - self-awareness, trust, and authentic connection - that he believes is missing from most leadership development. Over the past five years, he has led ten cohorts of leaders through that work, and describes himself, fittingly, as “an introverted lover of people.”ResourcesDae-Lee's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daeleebridgebuilder/Bridge Builder Leadership website: https://www.webridgebuild.com“Growth Can Hide Fragmentation” (read and add your voice!): https://www.webridgebuild.com/growth-can-hide-fragmentationBook recommendation: The Art of Gathering by Priya ParkerLearn more about the leadership resources at Armstrong McGuire

In this segment Jimmy argues that the United States has lost leverage in its conflict with Iran, claiming President Trump backed away from additional military strikes because of military, economic, and strategic constraints — including pleas from Gulf State allies that Iran is poised to wipe them out. He cites a recent interview with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, who contends Iran has greater negotiating leverage, that U.S. missile stockpiles are limited, and that Iran is negotiating shipping arrangements with Oman rather than directly with the United States. The discussion criticizes statements by Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, alleging the U.S. has repeatedly broken agreements while portraying Iran as the party violating deals. Jimmy also speculates about broader geopolitical consequences, including potential impacts on the Strait of Hormuz, global energy markets, and U.S. foreign policy toward Iran. Plus segments on Alan Dershowitz ripping into New York Jews for voting for Zohran Mamdani, evidence proving Fauci knew the mRNA shots were harmful to pregnant women and fetuses and Trump administration officials declaring war on anyone they decide to label "leftist terrorists." Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Garland Nixon and Kit Cabello!

In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover talks with Eric Saylors about how AI is a "cognitive acid test" for leaders. Eric Saylors is the author of Quantifying a Negative (2015), Sense Making in Risk Assessments (2022), and The 7-Year Active Shooter Study (2026). He is a Fire Chief with over 30 years of experience and holds a Doctorate in Leadership from the University of Southern California. In addition to serving as Product Lead for HEN Technologies, Eric currently serves as Fire Chief of the El Cerrito–Kensington Fire Department, having previously spent 25 years with the Sacramento City Fire Department. Over the course of his career, he has served in every rank from firefighter/paramedic to Fire Chief, including engineer, captain, battalion chief, and assistant chief. His operational experience includes assignments on ambulances, fire engines, ladder trucks, a Type 1 HazMat team, and a heavy rescue unit. He has responded to and managed a wide range of incidents, including high-rise fires, large commercial fires, wildland-urban interface incidents, basement fires, and balloon-frame construction fires. Prior to joining executive leadership, he served as Battalion Chief 1 in downtown Sacramento, one of the busiest operational areas in the region. In addition to his doctorate, Chief Saylors holds two associate degrees, a bachelor's degree in finance, and a master's degree in Security Studies from the Naval Postgraduate School. He regularly consults with fire departments nationwide on active shooter response, leadership development, succession planning, and post-incident analysis, and has published more than twenty articles on homeland security and fire service topics.

The fastest way to stall your growth is to be the most accomplished person in your circle. Peter and Craig are living the opposite this summer. Craig is recording from Aspen and Peter just got back from Baker's Bay, both dropped into rooms where they quickly realized they are a smallest fish in the pond, which is exactly where they want to be. Recorded the week of the sold-out Bulletproof Summit, the conversation starts with a question: why does dentistry attack its own? Post about expanding from ten to twenty operatories in a dental Facebook group and the comments call it a factory and a chop shop. Yet nobody calls the Cleveland Clinic a factory. Peter and Craig dig into where that hostility comes from, and why the bigger danger isn't the keyboard warriors, it's the current you're floating in without knowing it. As Peter admitted last episode, he spent a decade suffering and didn't know it, because everyone around him treated misery as par for the course. The way out is proximity. Leaders in peer groups grow more than twice as fast as comparable companies, and the guys unpack why: mirror neurons, borrowed belief, watching someone run the four minute mile and realizing you can too. They cover how to pick the right group and avoid the prescriptive ones that grind dentists down, why you should only take advice from people living the life you want, a practical tip for tapping the successful patients already in your chair, and why they've always refused to sell a virtual Summit ticket. The breakthrough was never the content. It's the room.
Are your thoughts helping you move forward, or are they quietly running your life? We talk a lot about positivity, discipline, leadership, and good habits, but very few people understand how those things actually work together. Negative thoughts can feel true simply because they show up fast. Bad habits can undo years of progress. Leaders can have a great vision and still lose their team because they do not communicate, connect, or create trust. And being hardworking is not always enough if people do not want to follow you. This matters because success is shaped by what you believe, what you repeat, and how you show up around other people. Real confidence comes from learning how to challenge your own thinking, remove friction before a habit begins, communicate with clarity, and become the kind of person who strengthens the environment instead of being controlled by it. Positivity is a skill. Likability is a skill. Leadership is a skill. And all of them can be practiced. Jon Gordon is one of the most influential leadership authors and speakers in the world. He has worked with CEOs, professional athletes, championship teams, coaches, and major organizations across business, sports, and education. He is the author of 32 books, including The Energy Bus, The Power of Positive Leadership, The Coffee Bean, and his latest book, The Power of Positive Habits. His work focuses on helping people build stronger mindsets, better habits, healthier cultures, and teams that perform at a higher level. What's Discussed: (03:05) How The Energy Bus went from 30 publisher rejections to selling more than three million copies. (09:05) Why positivity is a skill you develop, especially when negativity comes naturally. (14:43) How connection and disconnection affect anxiety, clarity, focus, and performance. (18:39) Why physical habits like lifting weights can build discipline, confidence, and mental strength. (24:40) How choosing one word for the year can create more focus than setting another resolution. (33:16) Why becoming a better leader starts with addressing your own wounds, habits, and mindset. (36:21) How communication gaps create negativity and confusion inside teams. (37:46) The culture-building question every leader should ask before hiring someone. (43:16) How the "habit before the habit" removes friction and makes consistency easier. (45:43) Why one destructive habit can undermine all the positive habits you are trying to build. (01:03:37) Why you should talk to yourself instead of automatically listening to every negative thought. (01:05:15) Why optimism may matter even more than discipline. (01:06:39) How likability helps leaders challenge people, build trust, and demand more from their teams. Thank You to Our Sponsors!
