What kind of culture are you creating when someone asks a question?In this episode of Get Jasched, Jess Jasch explores a critical (and often overlooked) leadership skill: creating a workplace culture where questions are welcomed, not judged, dismissed, or punished.Because when people don't feel safe to ask questions, they stay silent… and they also second-guess, make avoidable mistakes, lose confidence, and ultimately underperform.Jess breaks down why encouraging clarifying questions leads to stronger comprehension, better decision-making, and more empowered teams, and how leaders can unintentionally shut this down, especially under stress.Inside this episode, you'll learn:Why psychological safety starts with how leaders respond to questionsThe hidden cost of a “no questions” culture (time, errors, morale)The difference between lack of initiative vs. genuine clarificationHow stress and nervous system dysregulation impact leadership communicationPractical ways to create a culture of curiosity, clarity, and trustThis episode is a must-listen for leaders, founders, and team managers who want to build resilient, high-performing teams—without burnout or miscommunication.To sign up to Get Jasched Meditation+: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1215566/subscribeTo register for Regulated Leaders, Resilient Teams:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/regulated-leaders-resilient-teams-tickets-1984522725895?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=trueSend us Fan MailSupport the showEnjoying the podcast?

Send a textMost leaders know workplace wellbeing matters.They talk about it.They believe in it.They want better resilience, healthier teams, and less stress at work.But when it comes to actually implementing wellbeing practices, many leaders feel stuck.The goal feels clear, but the path there can feel overwhelming.In this episode of Get Jasched, Jess Jasch explores why wellbeing initiatives in leadership often stall before they begin, and what leaders can do to break that cycle.Drawing on principles of mindfulness, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence, Jess unpacks why effective leadership wellbeing always starts with one thing: how leaders manage themselves.In this episode, you'll learn:Why workplace wellbeing can feel like a “mountain” leaders struggle to climbThe difference between knowing wellbeing matters and actually implementing itWhy self-awareness and self-management are foundational leadership skillsHow mindfulness and breathwork practices help leaders recognise stress earlierWhy willingness matters more than readiness when it comes to changeThe power of taking one small, intentional step instead of trying to overhaul everythingBecause better leadership doesn't come from pushing through stress harder.It comes from developing the awareness and practices that allow leaders to regulate themselves — and create healthier environments for the people around them.If you've ever felt like you know wellbeing matters but struggle to start making meaningful changes, this episode will help you rethink the first step. To sign up to Get Jasched Meditation+: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1215566/subscribeTo register for Regulated Leaders, Resilient Teams:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/regulated-leaders-resilient-teams-tickets-1984522725895?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true#LeadershipWellbeing#EmotionalIntelligence#MindfulLeadership#WorkplaceWellbeing#LeadershipDevelopmentSupport the showEnjoying the podcast?

In this episode, Julian is joined by Justin Fitzpatrick, former Irish international rugby player turned business CEO and creator of the Resilient Leaders Playbook. With 26 caps for Ireland and a Heineken Cup winner's medal with Ulster in 1999, Justin shares the hard-won lessons from his playing career and how they translate into building resilient teams in business. From handling the brutal highs and lows of professional sport to navigating his forced retirement through injury in 2010, Justin offers candid insights on what it really takes to bounce back — including his favourite Churchill quote: "If it's not fatal, it's not final." The conversation explores the power of pre-mortems over post-mortems, why feedback is simply "a vehicle to improve," and how psychological safety isn't about being soft — it's about creating environments where people can challenge each other and grow together. Justin also reflects on his transition from player to coach to CEO, building a professional rugby franchise in Houston from scratch, and why doing things that "make your heart sing" has been the thread running through every chapter of his career. Whether you lead a sports team or a business team, this episode is packed with practical wisdom on resilience, identity, and what it means to keep contributing when things go wrong.   Connect with Justin: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-m-fitzpatrick-ba116316/ Website:  https://aedelhard.com/     ##########   If you are looking for a Blueprint to help you and your business manage uncertainty, deal with failure and navigate change then reach out to Julian at: julian@julianrobertsconsulting.com   You can buy my book "Weathering the Storm: A Guide to Building Resilient Teams" on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DFTYN2Y2   ##########

"When things are going well, it's exciting. When they're not, you don't know where the bottom is."In this episode, entrepreneur, author, and developer Jose Berlanga and I discuss navigating complexity and leadership lessons learned from childhood adversity and many years of leading through high-stakes moments. We specifically discuss the importance of calculated risk-taking, building resilient teams, creating contingency plans, and the difference between leadership under pressure and micromanaging out of fear. In high-stakes moments, success often hinges not on avoiding risk, but on knowing which ones are worth taking, and leading with conviction when the path forward is unclear.Key Takeaways:--> Discomfort is ConstantLeading through difficulty isn't an exception—it's the norm, especially in entrepreneurship.--> Risk as a Way of LifeEarly adversity can build resilience; successful leaders develop a tolerance for discomfort and pressure.--> Preparation > PredictionContingency planning is critical. Leaders can't afford denial or false optimism in crisis moments.--> Delegation is a SkillLet go of tasks incrementally, starting with repetitive, non-critical areas. Avoid micromanaging.--> Team PowerBuild a proactive team that can think and act independently. Leadership shifts you from doing to coordinating.--> Short-Term vs. Long-Term ThinkingIn crises, long-term strategy narrows to survival mode—prioritize urgent, essential tasks.This episode will help you navigate those complex, high-stakes moments with more clarity, confidence, and ease. Listen in!---Jose Berlanga, an entrepreneur from Mexico City with over 35 years of experience, has made a significant mark in Houston's real estate industry, notably through co-founding Tricon Homes. His diverse background, including degrees in Business Administration, Economics, and Philosophy, has fueled his success in various sectors, making him a source of inspiration and mentorship in the business community.

In a world where technology evolves at lightning speed and workplace dynamics are constantly shifting, leaders are desperate for strategies to build resilient, high-performing teams that can navigate uncertainty. Lisa Slayton of Tamim Partners and Dominick DeStasio of ForceBuilders stopped by TechVibe Radio for a deep dive on teambuilding.

The Pittsburgh Technology Council produced this podcast for tech and manufacturing  entrepreneurs exploring the tech ecosystem, from cyber security and AI to SaaS, robotics, and life sciences, featuring insights to satisfy the tech curious.  

Show Notes: In this insightful conversation, I'm joined by executive coach and cross-cultural advisor Olga, who works closely with tech leaders and entrepreneurs navigating high-pressure environments. Together, we unpack the intense demands of the tech industry—where innovation races ahead at lightning speed, but personal well-being often gets left behind. Olga highlights the unique tension of building groundbreaking technologies while maintaining a healthy life outside of work. I chimed in with what I see far too often: burnout is rampant in the tech sector, and without prioritizing self-care, decision-making—and company longevity—suffers. We also dove deep into the entrepreneurial journey. Olga and I explored the emotional and psychological toll founders face—especially around identity, self-worth, and navigating interpersonal conflict within founding teams. It's not just about scaling a business; it's about sustaining the human behind it. Effective communication, conflict resolution, and staying grounded during turbulent times are non-negotiables for any founder. The conversation turned toward a recurring theme in my work: leadership. I shared my concerns about poor leadership styles that, despite producing short-term success, damage team morale and engagement. When top talent walks out the door due to burnout or toxic management, entire industries suffer. Strong, people-first leadership isn't optional—it's foundational to innovation and impact. Finally, we discussed the importance of addressing the real issues holding teams and organizations back. Growth doesn't come from ignoring problems; it comes from facing them head-on with clarity and humility. Olga shared her coaching philosophy, focused on healing systems by identifying and amplifying what is working, and slowly transforming the rest. This episode is a must-listen for tech leaders, founders, and anyone navigating leadership in high-pressure spaces. Be sure to connect with Olga to learn more about her transformative coaching work.   About As a former CEO, startup executive, and investor, I've navigated every stage of company growth— from inception to IPO— as both a founder, business owner, and corporate executive.

Trust in various institutions is declining, making itincreasingly valuable in business. The fourth trust survey released byPricewaterhouseCoopers highlights the significance and opportunity of trustamong business executives, consumers, and employees. Among respondents, 95% ofbusiness executives agree that organizations have a responsibility to buildtrust, an increase from 92% in 2023. The numbers for consumers and employeesare also high, with 92% and 94% agreeing, respectively, remaining unchanged fromthe previous year. There is not only a moral case for building trust but also abusiness case, as 93% of business executives believe that the ability tocultivate and maintain trust positively impacts the bottom line. Amongexecutives, 42% cite productivity as the biggest risk if employees do not trusttheir employer, followed closely by the quality of products and services (41%),operational efficiencies (40%), and profitability (38%). Surprisingly, employeeretention ranks lower on the list. Traditionally, companies have consideredtrust among employees as a way to attract and retain talent. However, this dataindicates that a lack of trust among employees significantly affects everydayoperations. The risk is not simply that employees may leave; it is that theymay stay but work only half-heartedly.  Additionally, 60% of employees report that they haverecommended a company as a good place to work because they trusted it, whereas22% have left a company due to trust issues. Adam Malone is a leadership consultant, corporate keynotespeaker, and father of five, known as “The Tenacious Operator.” After a 20-yearcareer in the corporate world—17 of which he spent with one company, risingfrom analyst to VP—Adam left in 2024 to pursue his passion for helping highperformers become great leaders of resilient teams.

How can you build a resilient team? Building effective teams is an art in itself. Building teams that are resilient enough to withstand the challenges that come with adventure, takes this art to another level. When it comes to adventure, teams can come in many forms. They can be a group of guided guests, friends on a trip together, families, or a group of guides or instructors who are working together.In this episode, we are joined by Brenna Kelleher to explore what it takes to build resilient teams out of groups of individuals from the mountains to the office and beyond.Brenna currently teaches and guides advanced women's and youth-specific skiing clinics at Big Sky Resort. She is a member of the Professional Ski Instructors of America's (PSIA) National Alpine Team and is a PSIA course examinerBrenna has also coached and competed in freestyle kayaking, she has guided horseback trips in Yellowstone, and she has led a group of girls on a semester program in Africa.Brenna taps into her extensive experience as a team member and team leader to share how we can build and develop teams that can perform well in the face of challenge and adversity.Key TakeawaysHow to build resilient teams:Communication: This needs to happen often. It also needs to happen in a way that helps people to feel safe to express how they are feeling.Building trust: This needs to start early.Organization: This needs to take into consideration what role each team member is going to play in a way that allows everyone to compliment each other.Allowing others to shine: Sometimes we can all be guilty of wanting to hog the limelight. A good strategy for leaders is to use opportunities to let others spend time in the spotlight. This means allowing others to take the lead, give briefings, lead meetings, and potentially take the credit.Top Reasons Teams can Struggle: People didn't feel they had a chance to express their concerns or fears. Leaders were not able to keep their egos in check. The goals that were set may not have been realistic or attainable. When there were issues, they may not have been dealt with early enough. This caused negativity to spread through the group.People may have felt they were being micromanaged.Resilient teams: Trust each other, share in each other's success, and these two things together allow everyone to feel valued. When people feel valued, they will be better positioned to perform at their best.Guest BioBrenna Kelleher has developed a highly successful career as an outdoor athlete, instructor, guide and realtor. She has been an NCAA ski racer for Montana State University and claimed the 2001 Junior World Championship as a freestyle kayaker.

BONUS: Leading Without Blame, Building Resilient Teams with Tricia Broderick and Diana Larsen In this BONUS episode, leadership experts Tricia Broderick and Diana Larsen explore their latest book, Lead Without Blame, talking about how leaders can create high-performing teams without resorting to blaming. This conversation tackles the key themes from their book, and offers insights on how leaders can foster resilient, learning-focused teams. Understanding "Lead Without Blame" "Leadership isn't about finger-pointing; it's about creating an environment where learning and growth can flourish." Tricia and Diana kick off the conversation by breaking down what it means to lead without blame. They explore the impact of blame in the workplace, particularly how it stifles innovation, and erodes psychological safety. The authors stress the importance of making space for learning and acknowledge that many leaders, even unintentionally, perpetuate a culture of blame. "To lead without blame, focus on building a culture where learning is prioritized over finger-pointing." The Inspiration Behind the Book "Blame has always been a leadership issue, and this book was a way to address it head-on." Tricia and Diana share personal anecdotes that inspired the book. Tricia describes writing the book as therapeutic, reflecting on her past experiences as an executive who lacked the skills to prevent a blame culture. Diana highlights how pervasive blame is in toxic work environments and the urgent need for a shift in leadership approaches to create healthier, more supportive workplaces. "Our goal is to equip leaders with the tools they need to create environments where everyone can thrive without the fear of blame." From Knowledge Work to Learning Work "Learning is the evolution of knowledge work, and it's the foundation of resilient teams." The authors discuss the shift from traditional knowledge work to what they call "learning work." They explain that building resilient teams requires fostering an environment where continuous learning is encouraged and natural. Leaders must embrace the idea that learning is an ongoing process, crucial for adapting to changes like remote work and other modern challenges. "To build resilient teams, leaders must prioritize creating a learning environment where everyone is prepared to adapt and grow." The 4Cs of Learning Leaders "Courage, Compassion, Confidence, and Complexity—these are the pillars of effective leadership in today's world." Tricia and Diana introduce the "4Cs" of Learning Leaders—Courage, Compassion, Confidence, and Complexity. They emphasize that leadership is not just about hierarchical authority but about modeling these qualities at all levels within a team. Leaders must navigate uncertainty and complexity with confidence, showing their teams how to do the same. "True leadership is about embodying the 4Cs—showing courage, compassion, confidence, and understanding complexity in every situation." Leadership Through Learning "Leaders must exemplify the learning process, guiding their teams through growth and change." The authors explore the concept of "Leadership through Learning," where leaders actively engage in and model the learning process. They discuss essential motivators like shared purpose, autonomy, and co-intelligence, which are crucial for fostering a collaborative and innovative team environment. "Leadership through learning means being intentional about creating a space where your team can grow together." The Five Rules for Accelerated Learning In their book, Tricia and Diana outline "Five Rules for Accelerated Learning" that are essential for leaders looking to cultivate high-performing teams. These rules guide leaders in creating environments where learning is continuous, rapid, and deeply integrated into the team's daily work. "Accelerated learning happens when leaders set the right conditions and provide clear, actionable guidance." Managing Conflict with the Escalating Conflict Model "Healthy conflict is a sign of engagement, but it's crucial to recognize when it starts to become destructive." The authors discuss the "Escalating Conflict Model", which helps leaders identify and manage conflict stages within their teams. The model emphasizes recognizing when conflicts move from healthy disagreements to destructive behaviors and provides strategies for keeping conflicts constructive and focused on team goals. "Understanding the stages of conflict helps leaders intervene early and keep team dynamics positive." Maximizing Learning and Adaptation through Retrospectives "Retrospectives are not just about looking back—they're about learning and adapting for the future." Tricia and Diana highlight the importance of retrospectives in team development, emphasizing that these sessions are critical for continuous learning and adaptation. They offer practical advice on how leaders can conduct effective retrospectives that focus on purpose-relevant topics and foster a culture of open, constructive dialogue. "Use retrospectives as a tool to reinforce your team's shared goals and drive continuous improvement." Learn More About the Book The book is Lead Without Blame by Tricia Broderick and Diana Larsen.
