In Part 2, Waverly Deutsch opens up about her decades at Chicago Booth, where she helped founders refine not just their business models but their ability to lead. She discusses how emotional connection strengthens logic, why confident delivery isn't enough, and how AI is changing but not replacing human insight. For Gen Xers mentoring across generations or rethinking their own leadership, this episode is a reminder: great guidance begins with deep listening.>>Coaching Across the Confidence Spectrum“Some people came in over-confident. Some barely made eye contact.”She explains how coaching required tailoring—not templating—entrepreneurs' thinking.>>Why Love Belongs in Leadership“If you can't connect with your idea, why should anyone else?”Waverly talks about the human element most founders overlook when presenting.>>Building Trust Across Generations“EMBAs bring wisdom. Undergrads bring fire.”She shares the challenge—and joy—of coaching both seasoned execs and young dreamers.>>Relearning Her Own Leadership“Coaching taught me how much I still had to unlearn.”She reflects on what working with thousands of students revealed about her own blind spots.>>AI Is Here—Now What?“AI can write your pitch. But can it build your conviction?”She discusses how tech is changing communication—and why human trust still drives every great pitch._________________________Connect with Us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Waverly Deutsch  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

In this episode of the Well-Led Schools Podcast, I sit down with educator and behaviour specialist Bernii Godwin to explore what it truly means to love students on purpose. We discuss how building relationships rooted in respect, honor, and care can empower students far more effectively than control or punishment. Bernii challenges the common myths about student behavior management in education, including the idea that it’s a problem to be solved rather than a dynamic to be understood. Together, we unpack how fear and the need for control often shape the way we manage classrooms—and why shifting toward connection and skill-building leads to more meaningful, lasting change. In this episode, we cover: An alternative approach to student behaviour management that involves meeting them we’re they’re at on an individual level What loving your students actually means The roadblocks that prevent educators, or even parents, from respecting, honoring and caring for our students and children The guiding principles of loving your students on purpose and how the same can be applied to relationships with other adults The difference between behaviour management and behaviour education and why the latter is an effective approach to supporting students, staff and community How to maintain a healthy balance between respect, boundaries and loving our students Common misconceptions about student behaviour management An introduction to the empowerment model and how we can use it to empower ourselves and others Practical strategies that will enable you to love your students (and other humans) on purpose About Bernii: Bernii Godwin is the Director and Principal Consultant at Godwin Consulting, bringing over two decades of experience in the education and human services sectors. With a background that spans maternity to aged care, Bernii has developed a unique expertise in helping individuals, families, and organisations understand their needs and meet them effectively while respecting the rights of others. Since 2002, Bernii has worked predominantly in the educator sector, partnering with schools, children, and families to build internally responsible behaviour cultures that promote healthy boundaries, love, respect, and joyful responsibility. She has witnessed transformative cultural shifts in schools, moving from environments driven by fear and control to ones centered on love, trust, and empowerment. Bernii holds a master’s in Social Work, a Graduate Certificate in Neuropsychotherapy, and a Bachelor of Human Services/Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Criminal Justice, majoring in youth and family justice. She is also a ‘Loving on Purpose’ Trainer and a John Maxwell Team Member, along with being a Maxwell Method DISC Consultant. With a wealth of knowledge and experience, Bernii is passionate about helping educators and school communities build meaningful connections that foster growth and positive change.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, Pastor Evan Mawarire joins us in an insightful conversation about the complexities of faith, the pursuit of happiness, and the importance of re-evaluating our core values. Pastor Evan Mawarire's journey is a testament to the power of courage, faith, and resilience in overcoming adversity. From his humble beginnings to becoming a voice of hope for millions, his story reflects the transformative power of self-belief and the pursuit of a higher purpose.

You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Pastor Evan Mawarire on the Courage to Defy Social Norms Pastor Evan's journey highlights the importance of stepping outside the molds imposed by societal norms. Reflecting on how society often dictates expectations, he shares how breaking free from these conventions unlocked opportunities and insights he could never have imagined. “Once I broke that, I started seeing things I could never have seen no matter how much money I had paid." - Pastor Evan Mawarire This defiance wasn't about rebellion for its own sake but rather a quest for authenticity and self-discovery. His story reminds us that courage lies in questioning long-standing beliefs and seeking our own truth, even when it challenges conventional wisdom. The Power of Mental Scaffolding In a powerful metaphor, Pastor Evan compares the structures of our thinking to scaffolding—a temporary framework essential for building something greater. He emphasizes how reshaping our mental scaffolding can transform our relationship with reality. Whether in personal growth or societal movements, the way we perceive and articulate our struggles determines our capacity to overcome them. Pastor Evan's insights serve as a reminder that redefining our mental frameworks is key to achieving greatness. The Unsure Journey Back to Faith For those curious about faith or feeling disconnected, Pastor Evan offers an inclusive perspective. He acknowledges the doubt and uncertainty many feel when exploring spirituality. “Jesus just loves people with doubt,” he affirms. Drawing from his experiences, including moments of despair in maximum-security prison, he highlights how vulnerability and honesty can pave the way to spiritual connection. His message is clear: the journey back to faith doesn't require perfection or certainty—just a willingness to knock on the door. By embracing doubt and curiosity, anyone can begin to uncover a deeper sense of purpose and belonging.

In today's episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa explore what it means to lead like a shepherd, a unique approach to leadership modeled by Christ. In a world where leadership is often seen as a quest for power, fame, and control, Biblical leadership calls for something deeper—service, care, and protection. Shepherd leadership is not about domination but guiding with purpose, protecting from harm, and nurturing those in your care. Drawing from Scripture like Ezekiel 34 and Psalm 23, Rachael and Melissa unpack the beautiful metaphor of the shepherd as a loving leader who watches over the flock with vigilance and compassion.  In this episode, they also reflect on AHG's commitment to instilling strong leadership skills in girls from a young age, helping them grow in confidence and resilience. From leading Troops to directing service projects, AHG provides girls with countless opportunities to step into their God-given leadership roles, honoring Him in the process.  As you listen, you'll gain valuable insights into how you can foster shepherd-like leadership in your daughter—whether at school, on her sports team, or within her AHG Troop. We'll discuss the power of guiding with purpose, protecting those you lead, and nurturing them with care. Be inspired to help your daughter lead with love and faith, just as the Good Shepherd leads us.  Join us for this enriching conversation that will encourage both you and your girl to embrace leadership that reflects the heart of Christ. Don't forget to pause, reflect, and pray as you walk alongside your daughter on this important journey.   Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org       Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

Two weeks ago, I sent my first child off to college.To say it's been an adjustment is an understatement. I didn't realize how deeply I would grieve not picking up his cheese wrappers, and smelly soccer cleats, or giving him a nightly hug. The silence at home is unnerving – I miss hearing him shout, “Mom, are you home?” and the chaos of soccer boys rummaging through the kitchen. And the bodily heartache around the passing of time or that our family of four is now a family of three.This transition has given me time to reflect on my immense gratitude for all those who have supported my son, Tommy, through his journey—his coaches, teachers, and school administrators. They've taught him about respect, hard work, curiosity, teamwork, and most importantly, love. Tommy would not be the person he is today without their support.That's why this week's Cracking Open podcast guest, Rashid Davis, holds a special place in my heart. Rashid is the founding principal of Pathways in Technology Early High School (P-TECH) and embodies the power of education and love. "We only have a short shelf life, a moment to make an impact. I was raised in the poorest district in the Bronx, so I saw inequities, but I saw love and understanding, so I lead with love.” ~ Rashid DavisRashid has dedicated his life to improving education and uplifting humanity. P-TECH, a groundbreaking model that spans grades 9-14, provides a pathway from high school to college and a career in industry. The first P-TECH school in Brooklyn partners with New York City College of Technology and IBM. In 2013, P-TECH was highlighted by President Obama in the State of the Union and received a visit from him in October of that year. As of August 2021, P-TECH has expanded to 28 countries with over 200 school and college partners and more than 600 industry partners.In 2016, Rashid was honored as a Legendary School Leader by the Black Caucus of CSA and Administrators and received proclamations from the City Council of New York, the State Assembly, and various Senate Districts. He was also named to City and State's 2016 “Brooklyn Borough 50,” recognizing influential leaders in Brooklyn.In this episode, Rashid shares his journey from growing up in the Bronx with a deep passion for education to obtaining multiple master's degrees and dedicating his career to school development. He shares his invaluable wisdom, inspiring story, and open-hearted approach. Rashid imparts a powerful lesson: If you can open your heart and mind, you will see that everything is education. He emphasizes: “Love people the way that they know and experience love. And so, it really becomes a microcosm of society. And meet people where they are. And when I say love, it's not always the love that feels good, sometimes you have to do things for people to protect them.”As we kick off a new back-to-school season, Rashid helps remind us of the importance of teachers and educators. I hold deep gratitude for individuals like Rashid who have played such a pivotal and positive role in the educational and growth journeys of so many children, including my son.Love,MollyLearn more about P-Tech hereConnect with Rashid Davis on LinkedInInterested in a VIP Coaching Day with Molly?Email Molly for more details!Follow Molly on Instagram and Facebook
