Podcasts about leadership transformation

What if your greatest leadership achievement isn't what you accomplish yourself - but the leaders you develop who continue multiplying long after you're gone? In this episode of Leaders of Transformation, Nicole Jansen welcomes back leadership development expert and bestselling author Mac Lake to discuss his latest book, Super Multiplier. What does it take to build a leadership legacy that extends far beyond your own influence? Mac reveals how great leaders intentionally develop leaders who go on to develop other leaders – creating a multiplication effect that can impact organizations for generations. Drawing from decades of experience building leadership pipelines, Mac shares the mindset shifts and practical habits leaders need to intentionally develop others and create a culture of multiplication. Together, Nicole and Mac explore why most leadership development efforts fail, the hidden beliefs that prevent leaders from investing in others, and how to identify and unlock the potential already sitting within your organization. Whether you're leading a business, ministry, nonprofit, or team, this conversation will challenge you to think beyond leadership training and embrace leadership multiplication that lasts for generations. What We Discuss in this Episode Why leadership gaps are solved by developing people, not simply finding people The hidden mindsets that prevent leaders from developing others Why most organizations rely on the ineffective "wait and hope" leadership strategy The difference between leadership training and leadership transformation Why mindset must change before skill set can change How limiting beliefs hold emerging leaders back from reaching their potential What it means to "mine for the gold" in people How great leaders identify and cultivate strengths in others Lessons from Jesus' model of leadership development and multiplication Why leadership multiplication is more powerful than leadership addition How to develop leaders who can develop other leaders Why leadership development requires intentionality more than time Practical ways to develop leaders during everyday work activities How modeling, practice, and debriefing accelerate leadership growth Why failure is one of the greatest tools for leadership development The 4T Framework: Think, Try, Talk, and Train How leaders can continue growing by building on their strengths The importance of creating a replicable leadership development process What it means to build leadership four generations deep How to create a lasting leadership legacy within your organization Highlights  00:00 – Why Leadership Development Often Fails 02:30 – Leadership Gaps Aren't Solved by Finding People 06:00 – The Mindsets That Limit Leadership Multiplication 10:00 – Why Mindset Comes Before Skill Set 13:00 – The Problem with the "Wait and Hope" Strategy 16:00 – Leadership Training vs. Leadership Transformation 20:00 – Mining for the Gold in People 24:00 – What Jesus Teaches Us About Developing Leaders 29:00 – Why Leaders Think They Don't Have Time 33:00 – Everyday Opportunities to Develop Future Leaders 38:00 – Failure as Fertilizer for Growth 42:00 – The Power of Modeling and Debriefing 46:00 – How to Identify Your Next Growth Area 50:00 – The 4T Framework for Leadership Development 54:00 – How to Multiply Leaders Four Generations Deep 58:00 – Building a Leadership Legacy That Lasts Episode Show Notes and Links to Mac Lake's Books and Resources: https://leadersoftransformation.com/podcast/leadership/super-multipliers-how-to-multiply-great-leaders-four-generations-deep-with-mac-lake/ Check out our complete library of episodes and other leadership resources here: https://leadersoftransformation.com ________

Why do high-performing men lose their identity in midlife? After 35 years on the front lines of emergency medicine and over 170,000 patients treated, Dr. Kenneth Ro stepped back and named something he was seeing repeatedly. The men coming through his ER weren't just breaking down physically. They were losing their identity, their edge, and their sense of purpose. In this conversation, Larry Olsen sits down with Dr. Ro to talk about what happens when a man's identity gets fused to his profession, and what to do about it before it costs him his health, his relationships, or his career. What you'll hear: • The Triple Caretaker Effect and why most men get the order wrong • Why "midlife crisis" is the wrong frame and what Dr. Ro calls a midlife inflection point • The Stephen Covey line that most leaders have heard but very few apply: climbing the ladder against the wrong wall • Dr. Ro on why silence is a bigger health risk factor than blood pressure or cholesterol • What happens when I've attached who I am to what I do? ABOUT DR. KENNETH RO Dr. Kenneth Ro is a double board certified emergency physician with 35+ years on the front lines of emergency medicine and over 170,000 patients treated.

"Transformation of any kind is rarely one insight, one coaching session, one workshop, or one conversation.” - Winnie da SilvaLeadership challenges are rarely just about what's happening on the surface. The issue that keeps resurfacing, the team dynamic that won't improve, or the frustration you can't seem to solve may actually be driven by something much deeper.In this episode, I share three real client stories from my executive coaching, leadership development, and team effectiveness work to show how lasting transformation happens when we uncover the stories, assumptions, leadership habits, and trust dynamics shaping our behavior and results.You'll hear me discuss:How the stories we tell ourselves influence the way we lead and the results we createWhy one leader's hidden assumptions were keeping him stuck and preventing real progressHow adaptive leadership helps us choose the right approach for the right person and situationWhat causes leaders to unintentionally overuse their preferred leadership styleWhy communicating your leadership intent can strengthen trust and improve team performanceHow trust grows when people move beyond assumptions and gain a deeper understanding of one anotherThe common thread connecting leadership challenges across individuals, teams, and organizationsResourcesWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | YouTube | Email - winnie@winnifred.org

Dr Russell Thackeray interviews Dr. Shaheena Janjuha-Jivraj, an executive advisor, adjunct business school faculty member, and author focused on leadership transformation and human potential. They discuss how introductions differ across Western and other cultures, and how women leaders may adopt “masculine” communication to gain credibility. Both critique “bring your whole self to work,” arguing authenticity is often a loaded, double-edged term; she reframes it as clarity and consistency with values, while Russell emphasises observable behaviour and results. They explore disconnects between stated values and real conduct, and debate DE&I as either policing or a business-driven transformation agenda; Dr Shaheena stresses data-driven, impact-focused diversity, especially cognitive diversity and leadership that enables challenge and innovation. They address leadership courage, psychological safety, stewardship, short CEO tenures, contextualised leadership models, and Dr Shaheena's books Future-Proofing Your Career and Take the Lead.00:00 Introductions02:18 Gendered Introductions04:40 Authenticity At Work09:19 Values Versus Behaviour14:12 DEI And Innovation19:45 Conflict And Candour25:19 Hopeful Leadership Models28:37 Contextual Leadership Globally33:04 Books For Future Resilience34:37 Links35:13 Closing ReflectionsYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

What if the only real limit is the story your brain keeps accepting? Kyle and Brent Pease — co-founders of the Kyle Pease Foundation and veteran Ironman competitors — have completed over 150 races together, including multiple Ironman events, with Kyle racing from his wheelchair.

Welcome to 's Spark of Awareness, a weekly 15-minute reflection for leaders to reclaim inner authority in a world shaped by algorithms and constant stimulation.In this episode on suppressed emotions at work, Sophie Vo focuses on Sadness as the process of something that used to be and is no more, an inevitable companion to transformation, endings, and rebirth in teams, projects, and leadership identities.Unprocessed grief creates organizational inconsistency, broken trust, cultural erosion, and a backlog of sadness that can turn into anger and toxic behavior in team cultures.Sophie shares her own grieving in shifting from tech executive work to deeper transformative and somatic leadership spaces, including letting go of misaligned clients and identities, tolerating the void that follows, and making space for what is aligned. Practices include noticing sadness in the body (heart contraction), tracing what's being released, allowing tears, asking what must be closed, and creating gratitude-based closing rituals such as burning paper, starting a new journal page, followed by a short heart-centered breathing meditation.01:39 Why Sadness Matters at Work02:46 Defining Sadness and Loss03:44 Workplace Change and Grief05:03 When Grief Turns Toxic06:34 Personal Grieving Story11:16 Making Space for the New12:19 Somatic Signs and Awareness13:34 Inner Child and Abandonment15:00 Reflection Questions and Letting Go16:11 Rituals for Closure and Gratitude18:33 Closing Meditation and FarewellThanks for tuning in to a Spark of Awareness.

In this episode, Minter Dial welcomes Peter Tonagh, acclaimed Australian business leader and board chair, recognized for his transformative roles at organizations like Boston Consulting Group, Foxtel, News Corporation, and Quantium. Drawing on a career that spans high-level consulting, operational leadership, and deep experience in media and technology, Peter Tonagh shares his journey from a small-town upbringing to the C-suite, highlighting the key experiences that shaped his leadership ethos. In this thoughtful conversation, Peter unpacks the real-world challenges of moving from consulting into operational roles, revealing why decision overload, people management, and culture are often underestimated hurdles for new executives.

Minter and Peter also delve into the realities of governance, the role of boards, and the necessity of balancing compliance with innovation in today's turbulent business landscape.

Anyone can hold a title. The leaders people actually follow — the ones people go to the wall for — earn something that no org chart can give them. In this second and final part of Jamie conversation with Matt Whitehead, Chief Ancillary Officer at Your Health, the discussion moves from the mechanics of leadership into its soul. What does it actually take to make someone trust you? How do you build other leaders without fearing they'll surpass you? And when the blame starts flying, what does a healthy culture do instead? In this episode: The hospice house story — what it means when your leader takes off their dress shirt and slings furniture alongside you in the South Carolina heat Why you should never want to be the smartest person in the room — and what it signals when a leader does How Matt builds future leaders by putting them in every room, every meeting, and every hard conversation — before they need to be there The critical difference between blame (which looks backward) and accountability (which looks forward) What Matt wants people to say about him when it's all over — and why treating the janitor the same as the CEO isn't cliché, it's the whole thing This is the episode for leaders who are willing to ask themselves the harder question: not "am I good at this?" — but "who am I becoming?" www.YourHealth.Org

Most organizations take their best performer, hand them a title, and call it a promotion. What they don't tell that person is that everything that made them great at their job is now working against them. In this first installment of a two-part conversation, Jamie sits down with Matt Whitehead — Chief Ancillary Officer at Your Health — to explore one of the most overlooked transitions in healthcare leadership: the shift from being an exceptional doer to becoming a leader others will actually follow. In this episode: Why the moment Matt stepped into his first nursing home administrator role cracked the foundation of everything he thought he knew about leadership The dangerous myth that new leaders walk in as "instant experts" — and how that belief causes their teams to start managing them Why the dopamine hit of checking things off a to-do list disappears in leadership, and what you have to build to replace it How to delegate without losing your mind — and why being crystal clear on outcomes matters more than anything else Why conflict is never a problem to be eliminated — it's information to be used This episode is for every high-performer who has stepped into a leadership role and felt the ground shift beneath them. You're not alone — and it's not a flaw. It's the beginning. www.YourHealth.Org

In this episode Garth interviews Beth Schwartz from the American Psychological Association in Washington, DC at NITOP 2026. Beth describes her role supporting psychology teaching through faculty resources, policy, and curriculum work with governance groups (CABE and TOPSS), and a focus on student success and accessibility, within APA's reorganized cross-area "psychology team" that reduces silos. She discusses learning APA's internal structure, collaborating with Division 2 (STP), and plans to broaden engagement with large universities via a new advisory group. Key upcoming priorities include AI workshops and updating resources like the Skillful Psychology Student. Schwartz recounts her career from first-generation student to faculty and administrative roles, provost positions, and a remote transition to APA, which she finds less crisis-driven and more aligned with her passion for psychology education.

We unpack why so many workplaces are battling apathy, low compliance, and revolving-door hiring—then trace the cause back to something most leaders overlook: the psychology of parenting styles that shape how people give and receive leadership.We break down the four core styles—authoritarian (brick wall), permissive (marshmallow), uninvolved (ghost), and authoritative (backbone)—and show how each plays out at work. You'll hear clear examples of why “because I said so” collapses under modern expectations, how “be nice” cultures quietly drive away your best performers, and why absentee leadership starves teams of direction and trust. Then we get practical with the authoritative approach: high standards plus high warmth. That means non-negotiables explained with a strong why, empathy for real life, consistent coaching, and firm accountability. Expect real talk on good turnover vs bad turnover, building compliance without nagging, and turning role-play, scripting, and patient experience into daily habits that stick.If you lead a practice or a growing team, this conversation gives you a lens to diagnose culture, reset expectations, and recruit people who want to build something bigger than a paycheck. You'll learn how to deliver clarity under stress, pair praise with feedback, and replace endless reminders with systems that scale. The payoff is a tighter culture, stronger compliance, and a brand employees and patients recommend without being asked.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a leader who needs a backbone boost, and leave a five-star review so more entrepreneurs and practice owners can find it.New Patient GroupDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

In this episode of the Your Health University Podcast, Jamie sits down with Matt Whitehead, Chief Ancillary Officer at Your Health, to unpack one of leadership's hardest realities: you rarely have all the information you want when decisions matter most.Drawing from decades of healthcare leadership experience, Matt explains how early decisions were driven almost entirely by gut, ethics, and urgency—long before real-time data existed. Together, they explore the balance between data and instinct, confidence and humility, decisiveness and recklessness.This conversation tackles real leadership tension: when waiting causes harm, when momentum matters more than perfection, and why doing nothing is often the most dangerous choice. Matt also shares a candid leadership failure, what it taught him, and how Your Health built a culture where mistakes are learning tools—not career-ending moments.If you lead people, teams, or systems—especially in healthcare—this episode reframes uncertainty not as a weakness, but as the proving ground of great leadership. www.YourHealth.Org

In this episode, Anders Hansen shares his incredible evolution from performing magic to becoming a respected leader in personal development. He describes how reading The Power of Your Subconscious Mind shifted his understanding of human potential and set him on a path that eventually led to collaborating with Bob Proctor. Anders explains how these insights inspired him to create The Secret to Real Magic, a program that has helped thousands of clients and generated more than twelve million dollars in eight years. He reinforces the importance of aligning goals with deeper fulfillment, and how many people discover that the outcomes they chase are not always the ones they truly want. Business Illusions and the Path to Growth Anders breaks down the idea of illusions in business and how hidden limiting beliefs shape the way leaders think and act. Using the example of a multi dimensional domino brick, he illustrates how the mind fills in patterns based on assumptions rather than truth. He shares the five most common illusions that hold business owners back which include hustle and hype, luck, fear, lack and limitation, and the illusion of knowledge. Anders highlights that real change requires integrating knowledge into behavior and raising personal consciousness. Michael reflects on this idea and highlights how growth often emerges from challenging seasons. The conversation reinforces that goals should be rooted in desire and identity, not just performance metrics. Breaking Limiting Beliefs and Setting Bold Goals Michael and Anders explore how leaders can overcome self imposed limits. Michael shares his own journey of challenging income ceilings he once believed were fixed. They discuss the power of intentional affirmations, identity shaping goals, and learning from multiple motivational sources. The conversation provides practical tools for addressing negative thought cycles and cultivating a mindset that supports expansive possibility. Integrating AI and Human Leadership Anders offers a grounded perspective on the future of AI and leadership. He believes AI should amplify human strengths instead of becoming a substitute for them. Emotional intelligence and inner leadership will remain at the center of all high performance work. Anders also explains why his company shifted from online coaching to live experiential events. He believes that integration and genuine connection are fundamental human needs and essential for sustaining growth. He encourages listeners to begin with a free assessment designed to reveal hidden illusions and offers tools that help shift energy to support aligned goal creation. His message is clear. Information alone does not transform. Implementation does.

From Novice Prompts to Expert Systems: How to Build AI Workflows That Run Your Routine Work While You LeadIn Part 1, we explored the foundational mindset for AI executive productivity—the shift from 80% routine work to 80% creative work. Now, in Part 2, Barry O'Reilly reveals the specific AI executive workflow automation systems that make this transformation real.This isn't theory. These are the exact workflows, prompts, and systems that Barry and leading executives use daily to reclaim their time and amplify their leadership impact.What you'll learn: The weekly business review system that takes 90 seconds instead of 30 minutes. How to audit your work with AI's help. Building your personal prompt library. And why your unlearning rate must exceed your irrelevance rate.The AI Executive Workflow Automation Philosophy: Creative Work + Automated DisciplineBefore diving into specific systems, understand the core principle driving effective AI executive workflow automation: "Every time you can automate routine but disciplined work, you're moving the needle toward having more capacity to do creative problem-solving work. That's where you get the power and real promise of what AI is—people doing the best work of their life." Barry O'Reilly The Work Category FrameworkAI executive workflow automation works by understanding two distinct categories of leadership work:Category 1: Creative Problem-Solving WorkStrategic planning and vision developmentComplex decision-making in ambiguous situationsCoaching team members through challengesInnovation and new product/service designBuilding relationships and influencing stakeholdersPattern recognition across diverse business situationsCategory 2: Routine Disciplined WorkWriting meeting follow-ups and summariesTracking action items and deadlinesSending reminder notificationsCompiling weekly/monthly reportsScheduling and calendar managementData entry and information organizationThe AI Executive Workflow Automation Insight: Humans should do Category 1. Machines should automate Category 2. The problem is most executives spend 80% of their time in Category 2.As Barry explains: "Machines essentially offer this opportunity to automate a lot of that disciplined, repeatable, routine work—like having an auto-scheduler that sends an email 5 days before a task is due. I don't want to think about it, I don't want to send it, but a machine is amazing at making sure it follows up and does that."The Self-Audit: Ask AI to Analyze Your Work EfficiencyThe first AI executive workflow automation you should implement is having AI audit where you're spending your time. This creates objective data about your current state.The Initial Audit PromptCopy this prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or your preferred LLM: What AI Will Ask YouWhen Barry guides executives through this process, AI typically asks questions like:About Creative Work:"What tasks do you find most creative, interesting, and rewarding? List them all out.""When do you feel most energized during your workday?""What work would you do more of if you had unlimited time?"About Routine Work:"What tasks are time-sinks that feel like necessary evils?""What do you find yourself repeatedly doing that could be standardized?""What work drains your energy without adding strategic value?"About Time Allocation:"What percentage do you spend on creative work versus routine work?""Over the last year, how much time have you spent on these categories?" (You can even connect your calendar)Example: The Business Expenses AutomationBarry provides a concrete example: "Say it identifies you spend 5 hours a week doing your business expenses. Necessary, because your accountant wants those things. The machine could say to you, 'Instead of spending those 5 hours manually capturing expenses each month, why don't you try to automate it like this?'"Potential Solution: Use an app where you photograph receipts as they happ...

Key Takeaways: The importance of acknowledging and processing difficult emotions rather than suppressing them. Differentiating between authentic vulnerability and emotional dumping. Strategies for leaders to manage their emotional state and its ripple effect on their teams. How to approach systemic change in an organization, starting with self-awareness and empathetic curiosity. Practical tips for fostering a coaching mindset and empowering teams through reflection.

In this bonus re-release, we revisit an important and timely conversation with Sabrina Moon, Founder and CEO of The Problem Solving Institute and a certified Dare to Lead™ facilitator. Originally aired as Episode #35 of My Favorite Mistake, this conversation remains one of the most powerful and honest reflections on leadership, shame, and transformation.

Mariano Gontchar: From Boss to Facilitator—The Critical Role of Empathy in Scrum Mastery 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. Mariano shares his transformation from viewing himself as a boss in his project manager role to embracing the facilitator mindset essential for Scrum Masters. His journey reveals a crucial insight: you cannot implement Scrum with a "big bang" approach.  Instead, success comes through empathy and understanding your team's needs. Mariano emphasizes that working with Agile requires constant practice and learning, but the key lesson that changed everything for him was learning to empathize with his team members rather than directing them from above. Self-reflection Question: How might your current leadership style be limiting your team's potential, and what would change if you shifted from directing to facilitating?

Send us a textThis conversation explores the themes of revolutionary thinking in leadership and transformation, particularly in the context of marketing and church dynamics. It emphasizes the need for a radical commitment to change, starting small, embracing failure as a learning opportunity, and shifting mindsets from knowledge to obedience. The discussion also highlights the importance of redefining the concept of church from an institution to a movement focused on disciple-making.TakeawaysAttempting new strategies with old methods is self-sabotaging.A marketer's mentality generates temporary excitement but lacks depth.True transformation requires a new culture, not just new programs.Look to unconventional sources for revolutionary insights.Radical commitment transcends personal comfort and gain.Start at the fringes to avoid resistance from established norms.Small groups allow for safe experimentation and learning.Failure should be viewed as a mentor, not an enemy.Shift from knowledge accumulation to practical obedience.The church should be a dynamic group focused on disciple-making.Resources: Resource GuideListen in one of 20 different languages - !Coming Soon!*This is an AI-generated podcast

Send us a textWhat transforms a simple business transaction into a life-changing moment of connection? For Idan Shpizear, founder of 911 Restoration, the answer lies in truly seeing people first, then addressing their practical needs.When Idan arrived in America with barely $1,000 and limited English skills, the path forward wasn't clear. Sharing a one-bedroom apartment with four friends, they had exactly 30 days to make enough money for rent. Their entry point? Carpet cleaning – communicating through hand gestures while slowly building vocabulary specific to their trade.The pivotal moment came when Idan was called to extract water from a flooded home. While his team charged $600 for the extraction, another company arrived afterward, bringing equipment and charging $15,000 for full restoration services. But something crucial was missing: they completely ignored the homeowner's emotional distress.This observation sparked the revolutionary "Fresh Start" philosophy that would define 911 Restoration. Idan recognized that during property disasters, homeowners experience emotional disasters simultaneously. By teaching his team to take deep breaths before entering homes, genuinely listen to concerns, and help clients see possibility amidst chaos, he created both a thriving business and a vehicle for positive impact.From this human-centered approach, Idan built a franchise empire now spanning 120 owners across 330 territories. His leadership philosophy evolved too – regularly asking himself "If I fired myself today, why would I hire me back?" led him to transition from CEO to founder, recognizing he could add more value by building momentum in specific projects rather than managing daily operations.Perhaps most profound is Idan's perspective on wealth: "Real wealth is based on our ability to really experience every moment." This wisdom extends beyond business to encompass the true measure of a successful life – being fully present for each interaction, challenge, and opportunity.Connect with Idan on LinkedIn to learn more about his fresh start approach to business and life.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Connect With Devan:https://www.devangonzalez.com/connect----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/https://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcastLet me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.----------------------------------------------P.S.

It's a constant battle, and that's actually comforting. Rory Vaden's wisdom: "Success is never owned, it's rented, and the rent is due every day." Stop waiting for the Memorial Day sale on excellence.**[04:30] **What Are You Optimizing For? The obsession-worthy question that changes everything. Ryan's revelation with his wife: they'd been optimizing for goals that no longer served them. Better to fail at the new standard that serves your current self than succeed at the old standard serving yesterday's version of you.**[08:45] **Lewis Carroll's Identity Truth Bomb "It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then."

You're either going forward or backward, never stagnant.**[12:20] **Your Clients Have All The Answers The week's revelation: no one seems to be asking their customers anything. Four to five business questions answered this week with "go ask your people." Survey for results, satisfaction levels, current problems. Test hooks and titles on your list.

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]
