What do janitors, jazz musicians, and neuroscientists have in common? According to Dr. Nicole F. Roberts, everything.In Part Two, the Doctor of Public Health and co-author of Generosity WINS unpacks how she and Monty Wood turned a business book into a narrative experiment—part fiction, part real-world leadership case study. She shares how they chose a fictional hotel manager named Emily to guide readers through generosity's ripple effects, and how each chapter's QR code links to a real leader with real lessons.We also explore her annual Brain Health Summit, hosted during Super Bowl weekend with NFL stars, neuroscientists, and 5,000 guests. It's science, story, and social impact—all rolled into one unforgettable conversation.Key Highlights of Our Interview:Why No One Buys Healthcare Books—But Everyone Needs This One“People won't read about systems. They'll read about people. So we built a fictional character, Emily, to carry real wisdom forward.”Inside the Writing Process: Spreadsheets, Stickies, and Storytelling“We tracked every theme. We mapped each arc. It was my dissertation mind meets Monty's business brain—and it worked.”Real Leaders, Fictional World: How Emily's Journey Became Everyone's“Each person Emily interviews is real. Every QR code leads to their profile. We didn't make this stuff up—we brought it to life.”Redefining Generosity: It's Not About Giving Money“Generosity is any act of kindness or support, given without expectation of return. If you expect something back, it's just a transaction.”The Ripple Effect Is Real—And Unmeasurable“You can't plug karma into a spreadsheet. But trust, reputation, and relationships? They'll open doors years later.”A Thank-You Changed Everything“One reader started thanking hospital staff daily. It brought him—and others—to tears. That's the ROI no one talks about.”Why They Made Emily a Woman—and Placed Her in Hospitality“Hospitality is about anticipating needs. It's the perfect metaphor for generosity. Emily's age and role made her ready to learn, not perfect.”Can Generosity Be Taught? Yes—With Grief and Grace“We found our answers in boys' schools and in people who'd lost everything. Generosity grows when modeled—and when it's all you have left.”Brain Summit at the Super Bowl? Yes, Really.“5,000 guests, jazz museums, NFL players, and neuroscientists.

Leaders are built on purpose, not on PR. In this powerful and heart-opening episode of Reflect Forward, I sit down with Kevin Edwards, President—and soon-to-be CEO—of Real Leaders, a leadership platform that champions purpose-driven CEOs and companies making an impact. Kevin and I dive into what it means to lead with authenticity, how Real Leaders is challenging the Forbes status quo, and why being seen as more than just a title matters—because behind every CEO, founder, or entrepreneur is a human being with struggles, dreams, and a purpose worth pursuing. From his humble beginnings as an intern to becoming the driving force behind a global media brand, Kevin shares his journey, the lessons he's learned interviewing 500+ leaders (including Gary Vee, Jay Shetty, and Mel Robbins), and how his mission is rooted in one powerful belief: that leaders who show up authentically transform lives. What We Talk About • Why Real Leaders is redefining what it means to be an “impact company” • The six elements of real impact using their I.M.P.A.C.T. framework • Kevin's personal journey from intern to CEO—and how purpose guided every step • The role of authenticity in leadership (especially in an AI-driven world) • Why leadership must be seen as a vocation, not just a title • The challenge of showing up as your real self even when it's uncomfortable • How to empower people to believe in themselves through your leadership Why You Should Listen This episode is a raw, real, and uplifting conversation that reminds us: being a great leader isn't about having all the answers—it's about creating environments where others can believe in themselves, grow, and thrive. Whether you're a seasoned CEO, a new manager, or someone thinking about your next chapter, Kevin's insights will inspire you to lead with more heart, vision, and courage. Key Takeaways 1. Leadership is a Vocation: We must start treating leadership like we do engineering or accounting—it requires intentional learning, accountability, and refinement. 2. Authenticity Wins: In a world increasingly filtered through AI, the leaders who will stand out are those who keep it real. 3. Impact is More Than ESG: Real Leaders uses a powerful I.M.P.A.C.T. framework—Intention, Model, People, Accountability, Collaboration, Transforming lives—to spotlight leaders who go beyond profit to serve purpose. 4. Build Your Brand and Your Business: Your personal growth as a leader can and should align with your company's growth. Don't let others tell you otherwise. 5. Great Leaders Help Others See Themselves Differently: The most powerful leadership moves are often the ones that help others feel seen, valued, and capable of more. Quotable Moments “A real leader is someone who helps people see themselves in a better future—and makes the world around them relevant to that vision.” — Kevin Edwards “Leadership isn't about being liked by everyone. It's about being authentic, accountable, and helping others rise—even when it's messy.” — Kerry Siggins Resources Mentioned • Real Leaders Magazine and Membership • Real Leaders Podcast Support Reflect Forward This episode is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts.

Is it their charisma, their decision-making skills, or perhaps their vision?  According to Chris Smith, an expert in leadership and aviation counselling, it's something much simpler yet profoundly impactful: humility.  Recently I was lucky enough to sit down with Chris, and he shared some wonderful insights from his book Leadership at 43,000 Feet on how humility shapes effective leadership.  Chris has had a broad and winding career, trying multiple paths before finding his true calling in aviation. From this experience, Chris saw that the best leaders he encountered weren't driven by personal gain, instead they were motivated by something bigger than themselves. He references respected leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Barack Obama as individuals who demonstrate remarkable humility. Respect plays a crucial role in leadership. Chris shared that whether in the cockpit or managing a company, treating people with respect ensures they feel safe enough to communicate openly. Now this isn't something you can buy. It's built through consistent, respectful actions and a genuine concern for team members. If you can earn that respect then people will continue to follow you, even through challenging times. Towards the end of our conversation, we spoke about legacy which is not only is it a major theme of Chris' book but his main reason for writing it. He wanted Leadership at 43,000 Feet to give his children and grandchildren a deeper understanding of who he is beyond just ‘Dad' or ‘Grandad'.  He also opens up about living away from family due to work commitments and urges us to find a balance between career ambitions and our personal lives.  In the long run, what truly matters is maintaining close personal relationships, as the time lost cannot be reclaimed. Leadership is complex, and often, we overlook the simplest but most profound qualities that make the best leaders stand out. So, take a moment today to think about your own leadership journey. Are you leading with humility? Are you respecting the people you work with? These small shifts can create lasting changes, not just in your professional life but in your personal life as well.

The answer is yes. God consistently reminds us in the Bible that He is God, setting a divine precedent for leaders to assert their authority. We'll explore scriptural examples and discuss why it's sometimes necessary for leaders to remind others of their role.

Episode #291 // “The boundaries between our work and personal lives have shifted, and leaders need to deal with the fallout.” When I began my corporate executive career, the only concern leaders had for safety was to ensure that people working in dangerous environments didn't get seriously injured or killed.Then, there were a lot of businesses that didn't even need to think about the word “safety”, because they were predominantly white-collar, office-bound enterprises.For most of my senior leadership career I worked in industrial businesses:Where people worked at dangerous heights, and in confined spaces;Where big machines moved with velocity; andWhere, heat, energy, and dangerous gasses could combust with explosive force. The world has moved on quite a bit since then. These days, what it means to keep people safe (and just how far your duty of care extends) has evolved dramatically. I've found that my grounding in the principles of physical safety leadership has been invaluable in meeting these evolving challenges.These days, when we talk about safety, it's normally couched as SHE (safety, health and the environment), and it covers everything from personal wellbeing, physical and mental health, and psychological safety, right through to ensuring a company leaves the smallest possible footprint on the communities in which it operates.In this episode, I take a fly across the top of the safety domain, and talk about the role that you play as a leader in keeping your people safe — physically, mentally, and psychologically.
