What does it take to lead with integrity and empathy in an industry where technical expertise can quickly outweigh human connection? In this episode of the Master Builder series, Ethel Craft joins Riccardo and Shormila to reflect on a career rooted in service—from her beginnings in social services to her leadership role in Ottawa's rail construction program.Ethel shares how a leadership course during her MBA sparked her passion for mentoring others, ultimately guiding her to pursue a Doctorate in Business while working full-time. Through personal challenges, professional pivots, and academic milestones, Ethel has remained grounded in one goal: to be a role model and a connector. She leads with a deep respect for the people around her and a clear-eyed view of stakeholder relations. Her track record highlights the vital balance leaders must strike between respect for those around them and confidence that they have earned their place, regardless of the journey that brought them to the table.Within this celebration of Ethel's achievements is an invitation to re-envision what leadership can look like, in infrastructure and beyond.Key Takeaways:Genuine care and passion can take you further in leadership than a degree in your chosen industry.A strong support network makes all the difference as you chase your goals through life's inevitable challenges.Imposter syndrome is common, even among accomplished leaders, but it shouldn't define your path.Seeking to be a good role model can have a significant positive influence on your path to success.Real leadership is less about having all the answers and more about creating space for others to shine.Quote:“I ​felt ​like ​I ​was ​just ​draining ​everything ​within ​me, ​and ​at ​the ​same ​time, ​I ​needed ​to ​be ​a ​mom. ​And I ​was ​working, ​too.

How do we lead in the face of fear, when the stakes feel sky high and relentlessly personal?The realities of political violence, hostility, and burnout shape how we show up. And they can chip away at your generous heart, opening the path for cynicism and doubt.But if we can focus on what matters most, feel through our emotions–and help others do the same–and orient our gaze forward to the vision of our lives, work, and world that we want, we create an energy that cynicism can't easily break down, even through setbacks.We need to protect our hope and conviction that change is possible. The future is not a done deal. We have choices about how it unfolds.In this Unburdened Leader conversation, we explore what it takes to lead with clarity, protect our capacity, and still believe that change is possible, even when everything around us tries to tell us otherwise.Amanda Litman is the cofounder and president of Run for Something, which recruits and supports young, diverse leaders running for local office.

In this episode, I sit down with Charla Storey, an entrepreneur balancing multiple businesses, motherhood, and self-care. We dive into the raw, unresolved parts of leadership, discussing how to navigate uncertainty and redefine success. If something in this conversation resonates with you, stick around. At the end of the show, I'll share how you can join our monthly leadership training.Guest IntroductionCharla Storey is the CEO and founder of Charla Storey Photography, a luxury wedding photography team recognized among the top 50 photographers worldwide by Brides, Martha Stewart Weddings, and Over the Moon. As a wife and mother, she's built a global photography business over 13 years, traveling to capture celebrations worldwide while creating "effortlessly editorial photos that will still look damn good in 50 years."What started as a single mom building a career has evolved into a dual-purpose mission.

But what she's most proud of? Helping photographers and couples alike feel confident, valued, and heard—whether she's behind the camera or in front of the microphone.Key TakeawaysBalancing Multiple Roles: It's not about perfection; it's about navigating the tension of juggling business and motherhood without turning yourself into the villain.Redefining Success: Success markers from the past may cloud your ability to see what a win looks like today.Living in Uncertainty: Real leadership involves living in uncertainty and redefining growth when things aren't progressing as expected.Changing Connection in Business: The traditional ways of launching and marketing don't hit the same anymore; connecting in new ways is essential for business growth.Action Over Certainty: You can't chase certainty — you need to build momentum through action in the present moment to scale your business.The Business That Needs You: Sometimes, the business that needs your attention the most isn't the one you want the most, and understanding this tension is key to prioritizing effectively.Perception vs. Reality: Leaders must check how they're showing up in the world — perception rarely matches reality, and managing this discrepancy is crucial for long-term success.Themes We ExploredBalancing RolesRunning multiple businesses while raising toddlers and managing an adult child.The mental loops of feeling like a good parent but struggling as a CEO — or vice versa.Finding peace in knowing that sometimes less growth creates more space for life, which is essential for maintaining sustainable business growth.Redefining SuccessSuccess can't be solely tied to past benchmarks.The difference between chasing certainty and accepting hopeful action when scaling a business.Writing down today's wins as a reminder that they count — especially when success is more about progress than perfection.The Reality of Multiple BusinessesThe tug-of-war between businesses, where one often drains attention from another, is common when managing more than one venture.The insight that sometimes your “end game” and your “favorite game” aren't the same, and recognizing this can help you make more strategic business decisions.Key Quotes“When all of them are struggling, it's really hard not to look in the mirror and think — well, they have something in common. I wonder what that is.” — Charla Storey“Sometimes how it feels feels true, even when it isn't.” — Charla Storey“Success right now is peace. It's the certainty that my effort is building the long game.” — Charla Storey“Certainty is not always possible — belief plus doubt plus action equals results.” — Rocky Garza“You can hydrate to survive, not to perpetually hold more water.” — Rocky GarzaResources MentionedCharla's websites: www.charlastorey.com and www.developeacademy.com Charla's social media handles: @charlastorey and @developeacademyJoin my upcoming LIVE Leadership Training: rockygarza.com/confidence To join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations

Host: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer Guest: Chief Deputy Justin Miller, Kenosha Sheriff’s Office Episode Overview: In this insightful episode, Ashlee and Jennifer, welcome Chief Deputy Justin Miller from the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office. Chief Deputy Miller shares his journey from serving as a Navy psychiatric technician to law enforcement leadership, opening up about how personal experiences and organizational gaps in mental health support shaped his mission to prioritize officer wellness. Key Topics Covered The Struggle for Support: Chief Deputy Miller recounts moments where, due to budget cuts, Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) and peer support teams were unavailable, leaving officers without organizational resources for mental well-being. Personal Impact: He discusses the life events that first drew his attention to the importance of officer mental health, from the suicide of a significant other to his own family losses, and the organizational culture’s lack of compassion. Culture Shift in Law Enforcement: The conversation delves into the challenges of changing a deeply ingrained “rub dirt on it” mindset, and how being promoted doesn’t always mean having a real voice for change. Innovative Wellness Initiatives: Chief Deputy Miller outlines current strategies in his department. Breaking the Stigma: Chief Deputy Miller explains how officer education, transparency, and leadership modeling are critical for long-term cultural change. Family & Community Impact: The importance of involving officer families in wellness programs—offering access to resources, education, and community-building events. Advice for Leaders & Providers: For law enforcement administrators - Be humble, open to new ideas, prioritize serving your people, and build cultures where feedback leads to actionable change. For mental health professionals - There’s a pressing need for more providers trained to understand first responder culture, as well as resources tailored for both officers and their families. From Struggle to Success: Chief Deputy Miller shares that Kenosha has achieved zero vacancies in both patrol and corrections—a rarity in the current law enforcement climate—and credits a strong, invested culture of wellness and leadership development.

Send us a textWhat if everything we thought we knew about leadership was wrong? Jenny Robinson, a successful Kiwi entrepreneur with five thriving businesses spanning three decades, has discovered something remarkable about how true leadership emerges.When Jenny began her PhD research on leadership, she made a startling realization: despite a century of academic study, we lack a predictive model of leadership. This prompted her to strip away all preconceptions and ask a fundamental question: "What would leadership look like if we didn't know what leadership looks like?"Her search for answers led her to study natural systems, where recent science reveals something counterintuitive - nature thrives through collaboration rather than just competition. Trees share resources, information, and medicine with neighboring trees when in proximity. This insight became the foundation for a revolutionary approach to understanding how humans lead.Jenny and her colleague Phil Renshaw were inspired to create "Leadership on the Go" and author "Coaching on the Go," offering practical guidance for implementing collaborative leadership approaches. Their innovative tool "Gizmo" helps teams develop the skills needed for collaborative leadership without the stigma of traditional assessments. Now working across 25 countries in five languages, they've found that groups worldwide consistently identify the same key elements for effective collaboration.Want to transform your leadership approach?

Today, Mike and Tim discuss the implications of current events, the responsibilities of Christians towards marginalized communities, and the concept of cruciformity in relation to leadership and community engagement. The dialogue emphasizes the need for empathy, awareness, and a commitment to serving others in the face of societal challenges. In this conversation, Mike and Tim explore the transformation of church leadership and community through the lens of grace and cruciformity. They critique the consumer-driven metrics of success in churches, emphasizing the need for a shift towards a more authentic and vulnerable leadership style that prioritizes love and community over prestige and power. The discussion highlights the dangers of traditional leadership models and the importance of fostering a culture that values people and their growth. But first... Andor? Sinners? Beyonce'? "I am an individual with an inalienable bill of rights and constitutional freedoms; I am an American citizen, promised upward mobility and a shot at the American dream if I just work hard and believe in myself; I am a consumer of religious goods and services, church shopping until I find a church that meets my needs; I am engaged in a culture war that can only be won through the exercise of political power against my political opponents who are ruining our country..." or "I am one of the ‘holy ones,' and a minister,  formerly dead and enslaved, but now, because of the mercy of God, I am alive and rescued into a newly reconciled human community, called the church. Belonging now to the new humanity,  I am saved and transformed utterly by grace, so that the basis of all human boasting, status seeking, and rivalry has been removed.  I am therefore free to receive others as gifts and siblings."
