Podcasts about self leadership

In today's episode, you'll discover: 1. Conflict may be the doorway to the relationship you actually want. 2. Stop outsourcing your judgment—even to really smart people. 3. Stop making your peace dependent on someone else's cooperation. To support these three takeaways, I chose a quote from Harriet B. Braiker: "Conflict can and should be handled constructively; when it is, relationships benefit. Conflict avoidance is *not* the hallmark of a good relationship. On the contrary, it is a symptom of serious problems and of poor communication." About Amy Armstrong: Amy Armstrong attracts smart, capable parents who are exhausted by conflict and ready to stop letting it run their lives. She helps them end the drama, trust their own judgment, and protect their children's freedom to simply be kids. She's not only a social worker and business owner, but a truth-teller who believes conflict is one of our greatest opportunities for growth. Her work helps people build stronger boundaries, make decisions that actually sound like them, and create deeper, more authentic relationships.

Great leadership isn't developed in a single training session—it takes insight, action, repetition, and real-world application.On this episode of The H.I.T. Podcast, Toby Kennedy sits down with Maren Perry, Founder and President of Arden Coaching, to discuss how organizations can develop stronger leaders at every level.Since founding Arden Coaching in 2007, Maren has grown the organization into a network of more than 35 executive coaches, helping leaders, teams, and organizations strengthen their people skills, improve performance, and create meaningful organizational change.Maren breaks leadership development into three distinct domains: self leadership, relational leadership, and strategic leadership—and explains why the way we develop leaders needs to change as people progress through an organization.In this episode:Self Leadership — developing self-awareness and understanding your communication styleRelational Leadership — navigating difficult conversations, accountability, execution, and developing othersStrategic Leadership — building the skills needed to lead at the highest levels of an organizationWhy leadership development should evolve as responsibilities increaseWhy one long training session usually isn't enoughHow repetition and multiple learning "touches" fight the forgetting curveWhy coaching and small-group sessions help lessons stickTurning leadership concepts into action under real-world pressureMaren also shares a simple but powerful formula:INSIGHT + ACTION = RESULTSInformation can create insight, but lasting leadership development happens when people take those insights back into their actual jobs, put them into practice, and continue building on them over time.

What if the way you think about your health and your life shifted from self-improvement to stewardship? From fixing what is broken to honoring what you have been given? I think that shift changes everything. In this episode I explore stewardship as the deeper intention beneath all of the work I do. You have been given one body. One life. The work is not to fix yourself. It is to take extraordinary care of what you have been entrusted with. I also share how stewardship and self-leadership work together, one as the why and one as the how, and why that distinction matters more than most people realize. Want to keep going?

Why do the same arguments keep happening? Why do certain people trigger us so deeply? And what if the biggest obstacle in our relationships isn't the other person... but the unconscious patterns we've carried for years? In this episode of The Breaking Free Podcast, I sit down with Matt Castle, neurotransformational therapy practitioner and NLP life coach, for a powerful conversation on relationships, emotional healing, and personal transformation. Matt explains how emotional triggers are often unresolved patterns rather than problems created by other people.  Together, we explore how changing the meaning we assign to our emotions can completely transform the way we experience conflict, connection, and love. The conversation also dives into fear, judgement, nervous system regulation, personal values, and the importance of becoming someone who responds rather than reacts. Matt also shares his own personal journey, including navigating ongoing court proceedings, parenting challenges, and how those experiences shaped his mission to support men going through separation and major life transitions. Whether you're single, dating, married, separated, or simply wanting healthier relationships, this episode offers practical insights to help you understand yourself and others on a much deeper level. In this episode: Why emotional triggers aren't your enemy The hidden patterns sabotaging relationships Responding instead of reacting How NLP can reshape emotional responses Fear, judgement and unconscious programming Aligning your values for stronger relationships Men's mental health after separation Parenting, resilience and personal growth Building emotional intelligence Creating healthier, more conscious relationships If you've ever wondered why the same relationship challenges keep showing up, this conversation may help you see them through a completely different lens.

I teach self-leadership. I just happen to use health as the arena. Because if you can learn to lead yourself here, you can learn to lead yourself anywhere. In this episode I make the case that the skills required to build a consistent health practice are the exact same skills that build a successful business, a thriving relationship, and a financially stable life. The principles are identical. Only the arena is different. If you have ever felt disciplined in one area of your life but completely unable to get it together in another, this episode is for you. Self-leadership is transferable. It is a muscle, not a fixed trait. And your body is the most honest training ground available for building it. Want to keep going?

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda Winkle shares a new way to think about boundaries by introducing the deeper foundation beneath them: your standards.

Bryce Hamilton, LSCSW sits down with Katherine Hood, Self-Leadership Coach, to discuss how to lead life in a way you... The post Using Self-Leadership to Guide Independence in Kids with Katherine Hood appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

You can read every book, go to therapy, hire a coach, journal, meditate, practice breathwork, and become incredibly self-aware. But if you continue repeating the habits, choices, relationships, and environments that are producing the same result, insight will only take you so far. In this episode, Brenda shares the loving truth many accomplished, empathic women need to hear: at some point, growth stops being about what you understand and becomes about what you are willing to do differently. She explores the four stages of change - awareness, preparation, implementation, and integration - and explains why it is so easy to stay stuck in the first two. Awareness can feel productive. Research can feel like progress. But neither creates a new result until something changes in real life. You'll hear why nervous-system support is not only about helping you tolerate discomfort. It can also help you build the capacity to change the life you have. Brenda also shares personal stories about leaving an abusive marriage, building a business with support, becoming a beginner on the dance floor, and learning that meaningful change rarely happens through insight alone. In this episode: Why self-awareness and self-leadership are not the same How personal development can become a sophisticated form of avoidance Why your life responds to what you repeatedly do and allow How nervous-system regulation supports real-world action The difference between compassion for your pattern and continuing to protect it Why the next step does not need to be dramatic, but it does need to be real When POWER is the right next step When private coaching may be a better fit A pattern can be understandable and still be unsustainable. POWER is a year-long experience for women who are ready to move beyond insight and practice self-trust, discernment, nervous-system regulation, and aligned action in real life.

Cindy Esliger explores why accountability has earned such a negative reputation and reframes it as one of the most empowering tools we can develop in our careers. Rather than treating accountability as punishment or as another way to criticize ourselves, she explains how it shifts our focus away from waiting for recognition and toward building confidence and control. In workplaces where expectations are often unclear and recognition is inconsistent, accountability becomes a way to reclaim personal power rather than relying on external validation. Cindy explains that many of us associate accountability with being harder on ourselves, admitting failure, or trying to earn recognition in systems that may never reward our efforts fairly. She distinguishes accountability from punishment by showing that accountability is forward-looking and rooted in growth, while punishment keeps us trapped in shame and self-criticism. She also explores how accountability applies not only to ourselves but also to creating clarity with others by setting expectations, documenting agreements, and encouraging follow-through. Cindy highlights how developing internal standards strengthens self-worth, improves decision-making, and helps us identify when to advocate for ourselves or move on from environments that no longer serve us. Cindy identifies five workplace warning signs that make healthy accountability difficult: 1. Vague expectations without clear deliverables, 2. Lack of consequences when others don't deliver, 3. Credit stealing goes unnoticed, 4. Shifting goalposts, and 5. Isolation when we are the only woman or one of very few. She also shares five practical strategies for building accountability in an empowering way: 1. Control the controllables, 2. Take care of our foundation, 3. Make small controllable changes, 4. Create rituals and routines, and 5. Encourage accountability in others. Accountability is not about working harder for someone else's approval. It is about building the confidence, evidence, and self-trust to create the career you truly want.

Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with Ed Hinman, Marine infantry officer veteran, public figure protection specialist, historian, and author of The Barbarian in You. Ed shares how his time at the Naval Academy, deployments across Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Africa, and a pivotal reckoning with ego and identity led him to build a life around three core principles: vigor, wonder, and fellowship. Drawing on history, philosophy, and hard experience, Ed makes the case that living a full life is not about optimization — it's about reconnecting with the most primal, truest parts of yourself. The conversation weaves through the creative life, the craft of writing, the mentorship of Steven Pressfield, the wisdom of Montaigne, Emerson, and Marcus Aurelius, and the courage it takes to follow what resonates rather than what looks good on paper. Episode Highlights: 1:54 - Ed and Marcus discuss the mentorship of Steven Pressfield and the discipline required to show up for the creative life 29:44 - Ed introduces his three-part philosophy of vigor, wonder, and fellowship as a framework rooted in how pre-civilized humans actually lived 49:23 - Ed recounts his Marine Corps career, the ego-driven disappointment of deployments that went nowhere, and how psychosomatic pain forced him to ask what he actually wanted 58:58 - Ed and Marcus explore the idea of listening to intuition over empirical evidence, following resonance rather than a prescribed path, and why the barbarian in you is the truest version of yourself Ed Hinman served as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps, graduating from the Naval Academy and deploying five times across Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Africa before earning a master's degree in history and building a career in public figure protection with Gavin de Becker's firm. He is the author of The Barbarian in You and the founder of the Barbarian in You blog, where he writes about history, strength, friendship, and the philosophy of living with vigor, wonder, and fellowship.

In Part 2 of The Courage to Be Disliked, we're moving from mindset to action. If you've ever said yes when you meant no, over-explained a decision, or worried about disappointing someone, this episode is for you. I'm sharing five practical communication habits that will help you stop seeking approval, trust yourself more, and show up with greater confidence and clarity. In this episode, you'll learn how to: Pause before saying yes. Give yourself time to respond instead of reacting from guilt or people-pleasing. Stop explaining your decisions. A clear, respectful answer is enough, you don't owe everyone a lengthy justification. Replace approval-seeking with clarity. Focus on being understood rather than being liked. Let awkward silence do its job. Say what you need to say, then resist the urge to fill the silence or soften your message. Expect disappointment. Not everyone will agree with your decisions, and that's okay. Leadership requires the courage to disappoint people from time to time. If you're ready to stop managing everyone else's reactions and start leading with confidence, this episode will give you practical tools you can put into practice today.

This one is personal. Episode 260 is a solo cast, and it's the episode I've been sitting with for a while. I'm sharing what's been happening in real time in my career this year, not as a pivot story or a comeback story, but as a self-leadership story. Because I think a lot of people listening right now are living inside someone else's version of success and just don't have the language for it yet. This episode is that language. I'm talking about what happened when I chased bigger clients, bigger cities, bigger budgets...and why something still didn't feel right. I'm talking about the small moments of friction that accumulated until I couldn't ignore them. And I'm sharing the four-step self-leadership framework that helped me stop asking how do I get to the bigger table, and start asking what table was I actually built for. In This Episode: The honest truth about what I was chasing when I stepped away from Molly Knuth Media in 2025 Why "bigger is better" is a societal signal that hits especially hard when you're from a small town of 2,000 people What it actually felt like to sit in those bigger rooms with bigger clients and still feel something was off Why coming back to small town small business was not the easy choice, and why I had to own it as a decision and not a fallback The difference between settling and deciding, and why that distinction changes everything The 4-step self-leadership framework for naming, noticing, asking, and choosing What I want every small town business owner to hear before the back half of 2026 The 4-Step Self-Leadership Framework: Step 1: Name whose definition of success you've been chasing Step 2: Notice the signals that tell you when you're in alignment and when you're not Step 3: Ask the real question: what table was I actually built for? Step 4: Choose it on purpose, with full information and without apology Find Molly: Website: mollyknuthmedia.com Instagram: @mollyknuth Email: molly@mollyknuthmedia.com Listen and Subscribe: Spotify Apple Podcasts I want to hear from you after this one.

Not in battle. In leadership. Fellow SEALs wouldn't work with him. Wouldn't trust him. And instead of owning it, he told himself the story every weak leader tells: I'm the victim here. Jason Redman's story is one of failure, redemption, resilience, and triumph. What came after that failure was years of one day at a time. Leading himself before asking anyone else to follow. Seventy percent of leadership, he learned, has nothing to do with the people around you. It's structure. Discipline. Staying positive when everything is pushing the other direction.  By the time he was ambushed outside Fallujah and shot eight times, including a round to the face, he says he was in the best mental position of his life to survive it.

In this episode, Pastor Q talks about why small moments can have such a big impact on leaders. A frustrating email, criticism, unexpected problem, or hard conversation may only last a few minutes, but if we keep replaying it, it can steal the rest of the day. The key reminder is that the size of the event and the size of the reaction are not always the same. Sometimes the problem is not just what happened to us, but what happened in us because of what happened. Pastor Q explains that our reactions can be clues. When something gets under our skin, healthy leaders ask, Why is this affecting me so much? That question helps reveal pressure, insecurity, grief, or something deeper that may need attention. Another big idea is that whatever you feed grows, and whatever you focus on expands. Leaders cannot let one frustrating moment erase everything else that is going right. The practical move is to pause. Time is a tool. A pause gives leaders perspective, helps them respond instead of react, and keeps one bad moment from becoming a bad day. Final thought: A bad moment does not have to be a bad day, and a bad day does not have to become a bad week.

Do you ever feel like different parts of you are pulling in opposite directions? In this episode, I'm introducing the concept of the Inner Boardroom, a simple framework for understanding the different voices within you and how they influence the decisions you make every day.        I explore how the various aspects of your personality each bring valuable perspectives, from the visionary and strategist to the nurturer and protector. Rather than seeing these parts as being in conflict, I share how stepping into self-leadership allows you to listen to each voice, understand what it has to offer, and make decisions from a place of clarity and intention.       By the end of this episode, you'll have a new way of understanding your internal dynamics and the role they play in your life. You'll be invited to identify the different voices within your own Inner Boardroom, recognise which ones are leading your decisions, and strengthen your ability to guide them with confidence and compassion.                     Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/286         Join us in the Powerful membership, or join the waitlist: https://maisiehill.com/powerful

How much of your life is driven by the need to be liked? In this episode, I'm sharing why the courage to be disliked is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. When you stop seeking everyone's approval, you make room for confidence, authenticity, and the kind of leadership that earns respect. You'll walk away with five practical strategies to help you speak up, set boundaries, and trust yourself—even when not everyone agrees. In this episode, you'll learn: Ask yourself, "What's the cost of being liked?" Before staying silent or saying yes when you mean no, consider what it's costing you—your confidence, opportunities, time, energy, or credibility. Build evidence that you'll survive. Challenge yourself to do one uncomfortable thing each week, whether it's setting a boundary, asking for what you want, or sharing your opinion. Confidence grows through action. Notice your approval habits. Pay attention to the moments you over-explain, apologize unnecessarily, soften your message, or stay quiet to avoid disappointing someone. Get comfortable hearing "no." The more you practice asking for what you want, the less you'll fear rejection—and the more resilient and courageous you'll become. Remember that people recover. Most people move on much faster than we imagine. You don't have to carry the weight of managing everyone else's reactions. If you've been waiting for permission to stop people-pleasing and start trusting yourself, this episode is for you.   Favor If you enjoy this podcast, please leave a review on Amazon or wherever you listen.

Send us Fan MailYou can have the perfect offer, the perfect niche, and a perfectly fine strategy and still stay stuck at the same income level. The real issue is rarely tactics. It's the thought you carry into the moment where you have to ask, invite, pitch, and name a price. If selling secretly feels like taking, your brain will protect you by avoiding the very conversations that grow your business.We get honest about the money shame we hear from heart-centred coaches all the time: “I want to make more money, but…” But turns into awkward outreach, soft offers, and no follow-up, because the underlying belief says charging makes you a bad person. We break down why that belief is so common, how it shows up in your behaviour, and why giving everything away for free often leads to zero implementation while meaningful pricing creates skin in the game and real results.We also dig into the difference between conscious beliefs (“money is freedom”) and the unconscious story that actually drives your actions. Once you bring that hidden belief into the light, you can self-coach it instead of letting it run your business. Finally, we share a simple reframe for ethical sales: sell people on their goals and the transformation you can help create, then let them choose, without deciding for them by staying silent.If this hits home, subscribe, share it with a coach friend, and leave a review with the money belief you're ready to challenge.Want to show up as the best version of you in the moments that matter most?Start by taking our 2-minute quiz at modernleadership.us/quiz!If you're ready to stop relying on motivation and start building the mindset, habits, and self-leadership skills that create lasting change, check out the Self-Leadership Lab from Modern Leadership Coaching.The Lab is designed to help you develop the internal capacity to follow through on the goals that matter most—whether that's your health, your relationships, your business, or your life.Learn more at modernleadership.us/lab.

Send us Fan MailYou can know exactly what to do for your health and still feel stuck when life gets loud. We open this bonus series by getting brutally honest about why goals like weight loss, more energy, healthier eating, and better longevity plans break down in the real world, not because you are lazy, but because the story in your head keeps pulling you back to the starting line.We talk about the hidden belief that derails more progress than any diet mistake: the idea that there's a “right way” and a “wrong way” to get healthy. Once you attach your worth to doing it perfectly, you either force yourself into a plan you cannot sustain or you freeze and do nothing. We also get into the social media layer of it all, including the shame and status games around GLP-1 medications, and why someone else's opinions should never get to decide your health outcomes.Then we zoom in on self-leadership and self-coaching in the moment, especially when you are busy, stressed, or surrounded by people who project their beliefs onto your body and choices. The question we leave you with is simple and sharp: what story have you been telling yourself that, if you removed it or reframed it, would finally let you follow through?If this hits home, subscribe so you don't miss the rest of the series, share it with a friend who feels stuck, and leave a review so more people can find the show.If you're ready to stop relying on motivation and start building the mindset, habits, and self-leadership skills that create lasting change, check out the Self-Leadership Lab from Modern Leadership Coaching.The Lab is designed to help you develop the internal capacity to follow through on the goals that matter most—whether that's your health, your relationships, your business, or your life.Learn more at modernleadership.us/lab.

OCD isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about understanding the parts beneath them In the third and final part of our OCD series, expert Melissa Mose explores the complexities of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), discussing evidence-based treatments like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy can complement traditional approaches.

What you'll learn in this episode: ● How to handle stress before it happens ● Why caring proactively strengthens trust and loyalty ● The difference between excuses and habits ● How to lead people who resist change ● The secret to consistency when motivation fades ● Why respecting challenges doesn't mean giving them power ● How to build a “pre-decision compass” for when life gets bumpy

It's no secret that machine intelligence is evolving by the day. But what if there's a uniquely human intelligence that's altogether different? In this episode, neuroscientist, researcher, and Special Ops consultant Angus Fletcher joins Michael and Megan to explore our uniquely human contribution to the world. They unpack why children are more creative than AI, what intuition truly is (it's not pattern recognition), and how embracing your inner child can make you a better entrepreneur.They also delve into human relationships, examining why mystery and curiosity are the engines of lasting love and how three simple practices helped turn around a 90% divorce rate among Army Special Forces operatives.Memorable Quotes“I think our brains are smarter than computers. I think children are more creative than AI. And I think that one of the real powers of the human brain is that unlike a computer, it doesn't need a lot of information. I think that it can handle volatility and uncertainty and all these kinds of things.”“What we need to do as humans now is we need to say, ‘Hey, AI is great because it can handle all the label stuff, it can handle all the efficiency. It's time for us to get back to being human again,' and realizing that being human again means cherishing the way that people are not like the labels I put on them."“What's the one thing you learn in school? You learn that there's an answer, and the system has it. And what we know is that the more that a child believes that there's a right answer, the less likely she is to come up with a new answer. And so school, by its very method, crushes entrepreneurs.”“Humans don't predict the future, we make the future. And the way that we make the future is we see a possibility that no one else has seen before, and we move faster to make that possibility happen, and that is unpredictable because it relies on the ability to spot exceptions faster.”“When you despair, it's over. When you despair, you've already told yourself the end of the story, and so you've given up. Whereas what you've always gotta realize is that you're still in control, and you can still write the last chapter.”“The reason that the hedonic treadmill exists is because once your brain has automated something, it wants you to move on from it. Your brain actually doesn't want you to take pleasure in automated activities because your brain wants you to automate something and then grow. Growth is what your brain takes perpetual pleasure from.”“All the wisdom, all the emotional strength you have, those come from moments in your life when you struggled, when you failed, when you experienced setbacks and maybe even tragedies. And so really what you wanna do is you wanna start being thankful for those hard times because you realize those were a source of growth.”“What we teach the operators is… to ask the other person who, what, when, where, how, but never why. Because the moment you ask ‘Why?', you serve a judgment, and the conversation is over… The moment you've made a judgment, your relationship is over. You've fallen out of love. Love is about mystery.”Key TakeawaysAI Optimizes. Humans Innovate. Computers excel in transparent, stable, data-rich environments. The human brain evolved for the opposite: murky, volatile, unpredictable conditions. Anytime you need something new, something human, or something that has never existed before, humans will always have the edge.Intuition Is the Opposite of Pattern Recognition. That widely accepted belief that intuition is pattern recognition? It's demonstrably wrong. Computers are far better at pattern matching than humans, yet they have terrible intuition. Real intuition is the brain's ability to spot anomalies, exceptions, and outliers—the foundational skill of every entrepreneur.Leave Optimizing to the Robots. The hedonic treadmill is real: the more you automate your life and work, the less pleasure you get from it. Your brain rewards growth. Leaders who focus exclusively on efficiency are, paradoxically, making themselves more replaceable in an AI world.Your Inner Child Is Your Competitive Advantage. Children notice what's special. They don't think in labels and categories but embrace individuality and discovery. Reconnecting with that capacity—through travel, unfamiliar conversations, art, and genuine curiosity—is how you recultivate the intuition that school and workplace culture have suppressed.Mystery Is Key to Love. Love thrives on the feeling that there's always something more to discover about your partner. Great partners keep asking questions: Who? What? When? And how?
