Podcasts about leadership mindset

The Loneliness That Grows With Success Success often brings opportunities, influence, and growth. It can also bring something leaders rarely discuss openly: loneliness. In this episode, Allison explores: Why leadership often becomes more isolating as organizations scale How the gap between leaders and their teams naturally widens over time Why people stop telling leaders the full truth The hidden cost of carrying leadership challenges alone How isolation impacts decision-making and strategic thinking The role of trusted peers in preventing leadership blind spots Why honest feedback becomes harder to access as your authority increases How to create relationships where truth can be shared without fear The importance of building support systems outside your organization Key Question: When was the last time someone told you something genuinely difficult to hear? If you're struggling to answer that question, it may reveal more about your leadership environment than you realize.

Does visibility follow opportunities, or do opportunities follow visibility? The (perhaps hard) truth is that the opportunities you desire likely require visibility first. And… Creating that visibility lands squarely on you. Most people aren't randomly discovered for their talent and unique perspective. The people who are platformed and promoted have intentionally and strategically made themselves visible enough to be discovered. Do you find yourself thinking: I'd like to have a greater impact I'd like to be recognized for my expertise I'd like to be considered for bigger opportunities I'd like more influence I'd like to be known for something I'd like to be seen as the hands-down best candidate for a new role Right now, the leaders who are getting invited into bigger conversations aren't necessarily the smartest, most credentialed, or most decorated people in the room. They're often the people who have done the work of clarifying what they stand for, what they know, and how they want to contribute. In this episode, I walk you through the exact steps to become more of a go-to voice in your industry. You may be thinking you need more experience or education before positioning yourself as an expert in your field. Nope. You're already ready. Promise.  I have no doubt your unique blend of education/experience/talent/perspective qualifies you to stand out in some way. So, let's figure out how you can leverage that, shall we? Using my 5-step Authority Ascension Framework, you will move from Competence (owning your expertise, experience, and unique POV) to Clarity (your unique thought leadership framework) to Contributing (actually becoming more visible in various ways) to Confirmed Credibility (becoming known and trusted by others), and finally, to Called Upon (people coming to you with opportunities!) We will also spend some time digging into how women miss the mark with visibility and leave the door wide open for others to take up the spaces they are ready and qualified to fill. This will help you see and understand the (likely arbitrary, if not completely made up) rules you are letting hold you back.  Major opportunities are often built from dozens of small visibility moments. This episode will help you position yourself for those little and not-so-little moments, from building your own content and frameworks to facilitating different kinds of conversations to speaking at events to mentoring others to getting interviews to getting published and more.  Links Mentioned: June 24th Free Workshop: The Future-Proof Leader: Why Your Thought Leadership Matters Significantly More in the Age of AI: https://saradean.com/future/ Hire Sara to speak: saradean.com/speaking Coach with Sara: https://saradean.com/executive-coaching-services Connect with Sara on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks Watch Shameless Leadership episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@saradeanspeaks Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's Tarp Find is about basketball legend Michael Jordan — and a special FaceTime call he recently made. Programming Note: Nothing is changing with Andrew's weekly interview episodes. Andrew's interview episodes will continue to be in your podcast feed every Thursday morning.

The Growth Factor Founder/CEO and Pedowitz Group Partner Dr. Debbie Qaqish shares how leadership impact begins with mindset. "I've seen people with the right mindset outperform people wo had the right skills, the right talent, the right education, and the right pedigree 100 to one." We're not biologically wired to perform well under the constant change and stress we're experiencing in the market right now. AI isn't reshaping marketing; it's rewriting it from scratch. Being an exceptional leader in the midst of this goes far beyond just getting work done. It's changing what people believe is possible, bringing clarity when everything feels like noise and create conditions for real growth. "If you hold that open mindset, you should be giddy right now with all the possibilities that are in front of you."

What Are You Trying to Carry That You're Allowed to Put Down? What happens when you stop carrying things that were never yours to hold in the first place? In this solo episode, Stephanie Mitton reflects on the beliefs, expectations, and responsibilities she's been learning to put down. From motherhood and leadership to health, body image, and boundaries, she shares the lessons helping her come back to herself after years of putting everyone else's needs first. This episode is a reminder that taking care of yourself is not selfish. It's necessary. You do not have to abandon yourself to keep everyone else comfortable. This episode covers: Why your body does not have to be perfect for you to fully participate in life Learning to trust yourself as a leader and own the space you've built The ongoing work of maintaining your identity beyond motherhood Why your needs, happiness, and well-being matter too Letting people be disappointed instead of constantly disappointing yourself The power of asking for help and being honest when you're struggling Prioritizing your health before a crisis forces you to Rediscovering joy, fun, and the parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside How to identify what you're carrying and decide what you're ready to put down If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from yourself, this conversation offers a gentle invitation to pause and ask: Is this really mine to carry? Because women do not have to keep putting themselves last and calling it love.https://www.patreon.com/womendontdothat Instagram - http://www.instagram.com/womendontdothat/ TikTok- http://www.tiktok.com/@womendontdothat Blog- https://www.womendontdothat.com/blog Podcast- https://www.womendontdothat.com/podcast Newsletter- https://www.beaconnorthstrategies.com/contactwww.womendontdothat.com YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@WOMENdontDOthat How to find Stephanie Mitton: Twitter/X- https://twitter.com/StephanieMitton LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemitton/ beaconnorthstrategies.com TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@stephmitton Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemitton/ Interested in sponsorship?

In this episode, we explore one of the most overlooked traits behind lasting success: self-control. High value individuals understand that talent, intelligence, and even great opportunities mean very little if a person cannot manage their impulses. Throughout history we have seen powerful men build extraordinary careers, only to watch everything collapse because of one weakness. The common thread is not a lack of ability, but a lack of discipline. This conversation takes a thoughtful look at the pattern that high value individuals recognize early. When someone is constantly chasing validation, especially through attention and distractions, it signals a deeper issue. Discipline is the foundation of trust. If a person cannot manage their personal impulses, it raises serious questions about how they will handle money, responsibility, confidential information, and pressure. We discuss real-world examples where leaders with enormous success and influence allowed impulse to override logic, and how those decisions created consequences that reshaped their careers and reputations. These examples serve as reminders that discipline protects everything we build. Without it, even the most successful individuals can put their achievements at risk. The episode also focuses on how high-value individuals evaluate character before forming partnerships. Successful leaders pay attention to patterns in conversation, priorities, and behavior. They understand that long-term success requires surrounding yourself with people who demonstrate focus, loyalty, and strong internal discipline. Charisma can attract attention, but character sustains trust. Listeners will gain insight into the mindset that successful individuals use when choosing partners, protecting opportunities, and building relationships that support long-term growth. We explore the importance of guarding your reputation, protecting your focus, and choosing discipline over distraction. This episode ultimately encourages listeners to reflect on the role self-control plays in their own lives. Discipline strengthens leadership, protects opportunity, and builds a foundation for lasting success. When you develop strong internal boundaries and surround yourself with people who operate with the same level of discipline, you create an environment where trust, growth, and meaningful achievement can thrive.Check us out -  Instagram and Twitter: JeroldJax Facebook:  Jerold Action Jackson and Zone Of ActionJeroldJackson.comHappiness starts with you.

In this episode, Pastor Q discusses why so many leaders feel overwhelmed by urgency and constant demands. He explains the difference between what is truly urgent and what simply feels urgent, emphasizing the importance of setting priorities before the day begins. Leaders who lack clarity often live in reaction mode, allowing interruptions to control their focus and energy. Pastor Q encourages leaders to replace panic with clarity by identifying their top priorities and focusing on the next right thing. While you can't control everything that comes at you, you can control what gets your attention. Effective leadership isn't about doing everything—it's about focusing on what matters most.

Send us a MessageIn this episode of Culture Change RX, Sue Tetzlaff explores a simple but powerful truth: leadership is hard — but the experience of that “hard” can look very different depending on how leaders connect to their work.Inspired by watching the intensity and passion of NHL playoff hockey, Sue draws a compelling parallel between athletes who embrace the difficulty of the game because they love it — and leaders who either thrive or burn out based on their connection to purpose and meaning.Sue contrasts transactional leadership (“I have to”) with transformational leadership (“I get to”), highlighting how the same responsibilities can feel either draining or energizing depending on mindset and connection to purpose.This episode is a powerful reminder that leadership isn't just about what you do — it's about how you experience the work and the energy you bring to it.If leadership in your organization feels heavy instead of meaningful, Capstone can help.

Dr. Laura welcomes executive coach, author, and former Microsoft leader Sabina Nawaz for a discussion on what it really takes to become a manager people want to follow. Drawing from her own experience of shifting from a caring leader to one she no longer recognized under pressure, Sabina shares a deeply human perspective on how pressure, more than power, quietly shapes behavior at work. Dr. Laura and Sabina explore how even the most well-intentioned managers can fall into common traps that limit their teams, including the tendency to take on too much or unknowingly diminish others' contributions. They invite reflection on how leadership shows up in everyday moments and how small, intentional shifts can transform both personal effectiveness and team culture. Dr. Laura and Sabina unpack practical strategies to navigate busyness, create space for clearer thinking, and build feedback loops that support growth. Sabina introduces the concept of micro habits as a sustainable path to change, along with the importance of intentionally creating blank space to access deeper insight. The conversation also challenges conventional thinking about “leader” as a title, reframing leadership instead as a shared practice that can be activated by anyone. With warmth and professional curiosity, Dr. Laura guides a discussion that highlights how cultivating awareness and letting go of the need to have all the answers can unlock greater potential in managers and their teams. “It is not power that corrupts us. It is pressure, and under pressure we have a choice point.” - Sabina Nawaz About Sabina Nawaz: Sabina Nawaz is an elite executive coach who advises C-level executives and teams at Fortune 500 corporations, government agencies, nonprofits, and academic institutions around the world.

Jeff Dudan's free digital copy of his book At the end of a franchise training session, a newly minted franchise owner pulled Jeff Dudan aside and asked one question: "How do I get over my mental block about investing another $50,000?" That single question opened up a masterclass in entrepreneurial fear, belief, and capital strategy. In this Franchise Friday episode of the Unemployable Podcast, Jeff breaks down the three mental frameworks every business owner needs when facing a scary investment decision - whether it's $50,000 or $5 million. He shares the raw story of going $4 million in debt to buy out his partner at Vanguard Clean with zero franchisees, a $2 million disputed receivable, and zero certainty of outcome. What he did have was an unshakeable belief that he would never quit. You'll learn why business is an infinite game and why time is your greatest asset if you stay in it, how to reframe financial losses as tuition and extract compounding lessons from every setback, the self-liquidating investment test borrowed from direct-response marketing that tells you exactly whether your capital is working or sitting still, why your culture is just your organization's memory and how great companies institutionalize lessons to prevent repeated mistakes, and how to tell the difference between productive persistence and stubborn grinding that leads to broke and tired. Whether you're considering a franchise for the first time, scaling an existing business, or staring down a capital investment that scares you, this episode will give you the clarity, permission, and framework to make the decision with confidence.  https://www.youtube.com/@UNEMPLOYABLEWITHJEFFDUDAN  Homefront Brands: https://www.homefrontbrands.com  Jeff's Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffdudan/  Jeff's Site: https://www.jeffdudan.com  #FranchiseFriday #UnemployablePodcast #JeffDudan #HomefrontBrands #FranchiseBusiness #EntrepreneurMindset #BusinessGrowth #FranchiseOwner #SmallBusinessAdvice #InvestmentStrategy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most families haven't stopped talking, they've just stopped talking to each other. The natural moments that used to create connection are gone, replaced by constant noise and distraction, and no one has really stepped in to lead what comes next. In this episode, Pastor Q breaks down why conversation in the home is fading, how digital life is quietly pulling people apart, and why this is less about technology and more about focus. He gets into what silence actually does inside a family, how it creates distance and insecurity, and why words, real face to face conversation, still carry the weight nothing else can. If things feel off at home and you can't quite name it, this will help you see it clearly and give you a simple way to start fixing it.

Why “trust takes time” is an incomplete leadership belief Time reveals patterns, it does not create trust The real foundation of trust: consistency in behavior and response How teams evaluate trust through patterns, not words Signs trust is breaking: hesitation, avoidance, filtered communication The impact of inconsistent leadership on team engagement and performance Common leadership gaps: uneven accountability, defensive reactions, shifting expectations Why predictability creates psychological safety The difference between being rigid and being reliable Practical reflection: Where am I being inconsistent without realizing it?

What we cover: Why neutral leadership feels reasonable but creates unintended consequences How silence communicates standards more powerfully than words The subtle way culture drifts through unaddressed moments Why high performers feel the impact of inconsistency first The real reason capable leaders avoid addressing issues The connection between neutral leadership and autopilot decision-making A practical leadership lens: “If I don't address this, what am I teaching my team?” How to address issues without becoming reactive or overly critical The long-term cultural cost of avoidance Key takeaway: Leadership is always teaching.

Why do many women leaders freeze in high-stakes moments even when they know exactly what to say? If this is you, you're definitely not alone. This episode breaks down what is really happening in these moments and the communication skills gap that holds women back in leadership: the freeze response, the over-explanation, and the impulse to soften a message until it loses all its power. If you're a woman in leadership who (like many of my clients and me!) has ever walked out of a crucial conversation feeling like you left something unsaid, this one is for you. In this episode, we explore: Why the freeze response shows up for women leaders - and why it's not a confidence problem The hidden cost of over-explaining in high-stakes moments (and how it undermines your executive presence) How workplace communication patterns are shaped by social conditioning, not capability What emotional intelligence actually looks like when the pressure is on Practical tools for women leaders to show up with clarity and authority in crucial conversations How to release perfectionism and control when the stakes are high The impulse to shut down is a default that is not serving you. While it may be a deeply ingrained protection mechanism, it's preventing you from taking up the space you deserve to own. It's time to set some new defaults so you can hold any conversation, articulate your thoughts even when uncomfortable, and trust yourself to share your ideas in a way that calls people in. With just a few simple steps, you can begin to set new defaults to stay present, nimble, and assertive in high-stakes moments.  Links Mentioned: Free Workshop on April 16th: Trust Your Voice: Communicate with Courage When the Stakes Are High: https://saradean.com/trust Hire Sara to speak: saradean.com/speaking Coach with Sara: https://saradean.com/executive-coaching-services Connect with Sara on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks Watch Shameless Leadership episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@saradeanspeaks Learn more about your ad choices.
