Today we continued a series from the archives–If we don't process the “stuff” from people and keep our hearts soft, then we aren't really operating out of the flow of the Holy Spirit. Scripture directs us in how to keep our heart pure with other people. Bear with one another. Forgive each other, just as the Lord forgave us. Put on love, the perfect bond of unity.

Leadership Team member Kristina Biensch shared about her experience as a mom relying on the Holy Spirit to accomplish His kingdom tasks. We looked at John 14 to get fired up about the Holy Spirit's attributes that give us the ability to water and sow as coworkers with each other and God. 

Today we pulled an episode from the archives–Forgiveness is not intellectual. It is an opening of our spirit, allowing the Holy Spirit to wash through us and out to others the same forgiveness that we so desperately depend on. One of the greatest things that has to happen in leaders is the ability to maintain a clean heart by really forgiving people and releasing them from their offenses.

Think innovation, relationship-building, and communication are all on your shoulders? Think again. In this episode, Stacey continues the series on business growth and unpacks why scaling your business shouldn’t be a solo sport. Whether you're the founder, front of house, or back of house, everyone has a role to play in delivering an exceptional customer experience—and that experience is what drives growth. Tune in as we cover: ✨ Why strategic innovation is a team effort (not just a CEO task)✨ How to create a culture where every voice is heard and valued✨ The power of a 5-star customer moment (including the champagne surprise at the Roar Awards!)✨ Simple ways to bring your team into conversations around strategy, systems, and service Stacey also shares practical ideas for setting up team systems that foster ownership, spark innovation, and keep your customers coming back again and again.

Today we continued a series from the archives–How much pressure should you allow a hand to put on your bow? How much pressure are you allowing the hand of money, sex, recognition, and success to put on your bow? Those hands really do mark us. 

In this follow-up to last week's conversation, Stacey dives deeper into what real business growth actually looks like and spoiler alert, it’s not always sexy. It’s vulnerable. It’s uncomfortable. And it requires way more than just shouting “I want more customers!” In this episode, you’ll learn: ✨ Why growth doesn’t just “happen” (unless you’re Rihanna at the Super Bowl)✨ The three key levers to pull when you're ready to grow: Innovation, Customer Relationships, and Communication✨ How to meet your customers where they actually are (hint: it’s not just in your newsletter)✨ Why vulnerability is a business superpower and what happens when you embrace it From early business missteps (anyone else wanted to print “Have you read the newsletter?” t-shirts?) to failed offers that taught big lessons, Stacey keeps it raw, real, and relatable. Ready to grow? This episode will help you do it with intention, resilience, and a whole lot of heart.

Today we pulled an episode from the archives–A bow and an arrow work together as one. They are two pieces that make up one instrument. A bow is just a wall ornament unless you have an arrow to go with it. An arrow must be sharp. An arrow must be straight. An arrow must be aimed. We are arrows in the hands of a warrior. Whose hand is on your bow?

Dan, Ben and Hannah cover off on the need for training leaders in the art of coaching, highlighting that not all top practitioners make great leaders. The conversation touches on the chaos that some leaders may create and the significance of problem-solving methods, such as the 1-3-1 model, introduced by Daniel, which helps teams make decisions independently. The episode also addresses the significance of creating a safe environment for making errors and the personal perceptions of job performance related to clinic ownership.  Tune in for valuable insights on building a strong leadership team while stepping back from day-to-day operations.What You'll Learn:

In this episode of How to Run a Successful Business (and Still Have a Life!), Stacey gets real about the evolving expectations of today’s customers and what that means for how we market, connect, and deliver our products and services.

Stacey dives into: ✨ Why your customer journey needs to be more flexible than ever✨ The critical shift from “look at me” marketing to connection-focused storytelling✨ What Dance Moms, Google reviews, and stir-frying dinner have in common (trust us on this one)✨ How to stand out by leaning into what makes you and your business different This is the first in a mini-series on deeper customer engagement because loyal customers don’t just want convenience… they want connection.

When the majority of your meetings are spontaneous or as needed, something else besides you is driving the vision. Today we dove far back into the archives to the first series we did called The Art of the Meeting. Many leaders make fatal errors or don't act quickly because they are simply operating on old information. Who you are meeting with is important. Do that on purpose every time. If you stay in contact with all the different soils in your church, you will hit water every time. 

In this solo episode, Dr. Darrin Peppard shares the framework and mindset behind truly effective leadership teams. Drawing on his work from coast to coast, including a recent workshop at the Innovative Schools Summit in Nashville, Darrin explains why high-performing leadership teams don't happen by accident—they're built with clarity, trust, and purpose.Through powerful stories and practical takeaways, Darrin walks you through his AWESOME framework, a leadership model that has helped schools and districts across the country move from dysfunction to alignment.

When you're ‘not quite ready’ to raise prices, hire more team members, up that advertising spend… What’s the hidden toll?

The extended leadership team (those just below the C-suite) often finds itself stuck between translating strategy and triaging dysfunction. They're tasked with cross-functional execution, but are rarely equipped, empowered, or aligned to pull it off. And in most organizations, this group is caught in a cycle of managing up, managing down, and managing chaos all around—with very little time or clarity left to lead. This week, Rodney and Sam take a closer look at what's really going on with extended leadership teams, why they matter so much, and what gets in their way. From power dynamics and peer competition to vertical incentives and missing cross-functional glue, they pull apart the system that makes this group so hard to organize—and so critical to transformation. They also share field-tested tactics that can turn this underutilized layer into an OS-upgrading powerhouse. -------------------------------- Let's work together: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.theready.com/working-together⁠⁠⁠ Get our newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠Sign up here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

When we take the time to set the atmosphere, it tells people that they are important and have been invited to something important. Comfortable chairs and favorable lighting can make all the difference in people's ability to receive and engage in a meeting. Preparing questions ahead of time to promote engagement and discussion is a must during preparation. And ending with clear action items helps people know what is happening next and that the time together was valuable.  

This weekend, we're diving into one of the most common (and possibly the most fascinating) team-leadership dynamics we see in team training sessions: the relationship between Type 6 (Striving to Feel Secure) and Type 8 (Striving to Feel Powerful).It shows up again and again: Type 8s in leadership roles who are focused on getting things done, moving fast, and protecting their teams... and Type 6s (often the largest group on the team) asking for more clarity, more information, and more certainty before they take action.This gap in pace and perception can cause friction, but it can also be one of your team's biggest strengths if you learn to leverage it.When you listen in, you'll hear more about:The core motivations and behaviors of Type 6 and Type 8How their instinctual subtypes (Preserving, Navigating, Transmitting) shape how they show upWhy this pairing often causes miscommunication or frustrationHow to turn this tension into trust, balance, and better decision-makingReflection prompts to improve collaboration between these two typesWhether you're a leader, a team member, or somewhere in between, understanding how these two styles operate can be a game-changer for your workplace culture.Resources Mentioned:Read the full blog post: Understanding Type 6 and Type 8 at WorkThe start of the Instinctual Bias seriesListener Reflection:Are you more of a “move fast and lead” or “make sure it's safe first” kind of person?Who do you work with that shows up differently, and how could this episode help you meet them where they are?Have a request for a future episode?

A mark of maturity is being more disciplined and governed by what you believe than by what you feel. We need emotions, but we can't be emotionally driven. Feelings are real, but they're also temporary—and they can compromise good decisions. People who haven't developed their faith often let their feelings shape their beliefs. But those who operate in a spirit of faith are consistent in not allowing their emotions to lead them.

This episode we answer a submitted question regarding concerns over picking a new leadership team.

A mark of maturity is being coachable. A coachable person invites change, is committed to a process, and allows someone they have a relationship with to coach them. What part of your game do you want to improve? How are you going about that? Who have you invited to coach you?

God desires maturity in us and is calling us to a higher place. Leadership comes with standards, and a mark of maturity is accepting and working within them.
