In this episode, I share a surprising shift in my own Insights Discovery profile - and what it reveals about real, lasting growth. After years of sitting in “Coordinating Supporter” (Type 31), my 2025 profile moved to “Helping Supporter” (Type 30): still Earth Green at the core, but with more Sunshine Yellow and a softer Cool Blue. I unpack what changed (and why), how self-awareness evolves, and practical ways to dial up or dial down your color energies to create leadership magic. We revisit the four color energies, the power of conscious vs. less conscious preferences, and why revisiting your profile every 18–24 months can be a game-changer for clarity, confidence, and connection on your team.

Key Takeaways: Culture is Co-Owned, Not Just HR's Responsibility: The webinar emphasized that culture is not solely the domain of HR but a shared responsibility co-created and co-owned by every individual, especially leaders, at all levels of an organization. Behavior Trumps Policy: Panelists highlighted that culture cascades faster through lived behaviors and actions rather than through mandated policies. Authentic modeling by leaders is crucial for embedding a coaching culture. The Shift from Directing to Empowering: Gurvinder Singh shared his journey from a directive managerial style to one that embraces coaching, emphasizing how empowering teams leads to greater collective intelligence and innovation. Measuring True Accountability: Nanda A. Kumar discussed how to distinguish between genuine leadership accountability for a coaching culture and mere compliance, focusing on qualitative behaviors and the organic adoption of coaching practices. Overcoming Barriers to Culture Shift: Pratibha Kulkarni identified key barriers such as traditional mindsets ("culture is an HR thing"), lack of active role modeling by leaders, and insufficient underlying structures to support desired behaviors. Psychological Safety as a Foundation: The discussion underscored the importance of psychological safety as a non-negotiable for fostering a coaching culture, enabling open dialogue, vulnerability, and genuine engagement. Coaching as a Core Competency: The webinar concluded by asserting that coaching is no longer just a "bonus skill" but a core competency for future leaders, essential for democratizing culture building and driving organizational growth.

Sometimes the most inspiring leadership conversations happen on the big stage. This special episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast brings you a live recording from the Procter & Gamble Global Alumni Meeting 2025 in Berlin. In front of 500 executives from all over the world, Stefan hosted a fireside chat with two exceptional leaders: David Taylor, former CEO of Procter & Gamble, and Daniel Dippold, founder and CEO of EWOR. Under the title “Former P&G CEO meets Tech Entrepreneur – Redefining Leadership in Times of Uncertainty”, they explored some of the most important questions in leadership today. They spoke about whether leaders can truly provide security or whether clarity is the greater gift, about the surprising value of mathematics for effective leadership, about the difference between one-way and two-way door decisions, and about how the essence of leadership can be captured in just one word. This conversation connects the wisdom of decades of corporate leadership with the energy of a new entrepreneurial generation. It is a dialogue about clarity, courage and responsibility – and about the mindset that leaders need to navigate times of uncertainty. Because these lessons are as valuable for the LEITWOLF® community as they were for the global alumni audience in Berlin, Stefan is proud to share this special episode with you today. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

In this episode, I'm diving into the ripple effect of a leader's words. Words like always and never may feel small, but they carry incredible weight. They can box people in, fuel blame, and shut down possibility. As leaders, the way we speak doesn't just shape conversations—it shapes culture. Join me as I explore how to replace absolutes with curiosity, nuance, and possibility, both in our leadership and in our self-talk. Enjoy!

Seven Keys to Christian Leadership SuccessIn every facet of society, we encounter leaders-individuals in positions to guide and influence others for the greater good. Leaders can be found in schools, government, entertainment, sports, homes, and churches. While leaders deserve to be admired and respected for their roles, many have recently fallen short of our expectations, failing to embody the qualities we want our children to emulate. This disillusionment comes from witnessing failures, including those among leaders of our families and churches, where self-indulgence and greed have become prevalent. The pressing question is: what has led to this breakdown in leadership, and how can we address it?**EFFECTIVE!** by Dr. Arthor L. Faber directly identifies the problem of leadership failure and its roots, while proposing solutions. Through analysis of case studies and testimonies from leaders, the book highlights that many leadership challenges stem from inadequate preparation. Faber outlines seven "keys" to success for Christian leaders: PRAYER, FAITH, INTEGRITY, VISION, WISDOM, STEWARDSHIP, and AGAPE LOVE. Each key is defined, connected to biblical principles, and illustrated with personal insights from the author. Whether you are beginning your leadership journey, currently leading, or shaping future leaders, **EFFECTIVE!** serves as a vital resource. By applying its principles, the possibility of failure diminishes, allowing the vision of success as a Christian leader to become their reality. God calls us to be EFFECTIVE! With this guidebook, effective leadership is just a read away.https://arthorlfaber.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

In this episode of Eco-systemic Leadership Coaching, Smita R sits down with grief support coach Aniket Anjali Pohekar to explore the often-overlooked role of grief in organizational life. Aniket defines grief as a natural response to loss, moving beyond the misconception that it only relates to death. He emphasizes its systemic impact on teams and organizations, making it a critical leadership concern. The conversation introduces a three-pronged approach to grief support: individual coaching for those experiencing loss, leader coaching to build compassionate leadership, and HR policy development to create sustainable structures of care. Both Smita and Aniket stress the power of empathetic presence and clear communication in supporting grieving colleagues.
In this episode, I'm diving into one of the biggest truths I've learned over nearly 30 years in leadership and human resources: skills alone aren't enough. You can learn every model, framework, or productivity hack out there, but if your mindset doesn't shift underneath, the behavior won't stick. I share real-world examples - from health goals to communication breakdowns, delegation struggles, and presentation nerves - to show the difference between a quick fix and true transformation. We'll also talk about the root causes that drive behavior, how limiting beliefs hold us back, and how pairing skillset with mindset unlocks lasting growth. Skills are the tools. Mindset is the fuel. And when you ignite the right fuel, your tools truly work. Enjoy! Angie Robinson Links + Ways to Connect: Show Notes: Episode 192 Show Notes Subscribe to my newsletter!

By lightening up your communication, you can build serious connections.Humor in communication isn't all fun and games. According to Alison Wood Brooks and Naomi Bagdonas, levity is one of the most serious tools we have in building successful connections.Wood Brooks and Bagdonas, both teachers, authors, and experts in the field of communication, recognize how crucial levity is to our professional and personal interactions. “It's easy to think of [humor] as this extra bonus thing,” says Wood Brooks. “What we find is it's incredibly core to how people are relating to each other.” Bagdonas agrees: “When there's the presence of laughter in team meetings, those teams are more successful and more creative. Leaders with a sense of humor—not even a good sense of humor—are seen as more motivating, more admired, [and] their teams report being more engaged.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wood Brooks and Bagdonas join host Matt Abrahams to explore levity as a mindset, or as Bagdonas puts it, “Navigating life on the precipice of a smile.” Together, they share how lightness and humor can break barriers, bridge connections, and unlock the door to better communication.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Alison Wood Brooks Alison's Book: TalkNaomi Bagdonas Naomi's Book: Humor, SeriouslyEp.13 Make 'Em Laugh: How to Use Humor as a Secret Weapon in Your CommunicationEp.73 Listen Up: Why It's Better to Be Interested Than InterestingEp.89 Listen, Listen, Listen: How to Build Deep ConnectionsEp.169 Don't Be a ZQ: Make Your Conversations Count Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:13) - Talk Tour Insights (04:33) - Top Advice on Asking Questions (06:43) - Guiding Principles for Leaders (09:17) - Importance of Levity (11:17) - Why Humor Matters (13:06) - Letting Go of Comfort (16:24) - Overthinking Levity (18:30) - Creating Space for Levity (22:02) - Conclusion *****This Episode is sponsored by Stanford.
