I met Edward Rinehart at my Rotary Club, where he was sharing his journey with DECA - Distributive Education Clubs of America - an organization that prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management through educational programs and competitions. Colorado had 9,000 participants in DECA programs in 2024, with the top competitors advancing through District Competitions to State and International. Edward has been involved in DECA all four years of his high school journey, made it all the way to International his Freshman year, and has served on the Leadership Team ever since. He won the State Competition in Entrepreneurship this February - and we're wishing him luck at Internationals in May! This is a different journey than most of our LoCo Experience episodes - just getting started. But I learned a lot, and enjoyed a wonderful conversation - and you will too! So especially if you've got kiddos still in school, or grandkids going to high school soon - or if you might want to be a volunteer judge for the District or State competitions - I hope you'll tune in and enjoy my conversation with Edward Rinehart.

The government is not the head of the Church. The culture does not dictate doctrine and morality for the Church. We are the body and Christ is the head of that body. When the body is not connected to the head, it is dysfunctional and it dies. If a body has two heads, it is abnormal; it is a monster.

Zvonimir Durcevic: From Command to Collaboration, An Agile Leadership Team's Transformation Story Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. In this episode, Zvonimir discusses his experience supporting a leadership team transitioning from a traditional command-and-control management style to a more collaborative approach involving people in change decisions. Drawing from EDGE Theory of Change (based on Arnold Mendel's work) and Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) training, Zvone helped the leadership team understand what awaited them on the "other side" of this transformation. Through multiple half-day coaching sessions, he guided them in defining their new leadership identity and developing self-reflection skills. A critical element of this work was creating a conflict protocol that allowed leaders to discuss different perspectives constructively. Zvone emphasizes the importance of helping teams create a "third identity" – a new collective self that emerges through transformation. Self-reflection Question: What elements of your current leadership identity would you need to let go of to embrace a more collaborative approach to change? [Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
Today we have a special bonus episode of the Leadership in Context podcast. While the team was traveling back from Ukraine last week, Keith interviewed each one about the significance of this trip at this moment in time. In the natural, it's easy to wonder, “What are we thinking?” But God! If God is for the Church in Ukraine, who can be against them? The need is as great as ever, but in spite of all of this, the Church is growing better than ever.
