Podcasts about self leadership

After last week's episode on self leadership and self care, we got a lot of questions and feedback, as well as a large amount of extra downloads, so it seems this topic is important and the information resonated. Luke decided to even deeper on each topic discussed last week, sharing more practical tips, personal experiences, and additional resources for further education and research. Luke admits some his habits and idiosyncrasies may be considered weird, but he shares how they have helped him keep his mind, body, and spirit in the right state to handle the demands of business, family, and personal life. Be sure to make note of the 10 books Luke recommends and add them to your reading list!Please let us know, after listening to this episode, what resonated?

In today's episode of Leading Through Crisis, we explore the question, “What's at stake when leaders are unprincipled, unethical, incompetent, and selfish?”Philippe Johnson, a retired US Air Force officer, advocate for principled and ethical leadership, and author, shares his thoughts, particularly as they relate to public service and through the lens of Trump's presidency.Topics discussed:◾️Paying attention to the competencies and personality traits that are being normalized◾️Traits of problematic leaders to watch out for◾️Principled loyalty vs blind loyalty, and loyalty over competence or ethics◾️What's at risk, on an organizational level and a larger, more macro or national level“That's the thing I want to diminish, loyalty for loyalty's sake as a virtue. It's not. The definition of loyalty is an allegiance that's earned.”Join us for a fascinating and perhaps horrifying conversation on What Hangs In The Balance (conveniently, also the name of Philippe's book).—Philippe Johnson is a retired United States Air Force officer and advocate for principled and ethical leadership in public service. The son of a language teacher and career United States Army officer, he was raised in the United States, France, and Germany. During his 24 years on active duty, Lieutenant Colonel Johnson served as a fixed- and rotary-wing pilot, intelligence officer, and diplomat (military attaché), and was honored with the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal with two oak leaf clusters, and the Air Medal with one oak leaf cluster. He also served on the staffs of two Air Force major commands as his final two assignments. Philippe received a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Florida and earned his master's degree in public policy from the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy.

Self-leadership is the missing link for many entrepreneurs who excel at driving their businesses forward but struggle with personal sustainability. In this candid solo episode, Luke shares the rain barrel analogy that transformed his approach to self-care: while we can't control life's challenges (the rain), we can manage our capacity (the barrel's outlet) to prevent harmful overflow.Drawing from his personal journey, Luke reveals eight essential practices that have dramatically improved his effectiveness as a business owner, parent, and community leader. From building a supportive tribe to mastering sleep through the 3-2-1 rule, each practice addresses a critical aspect of entrepreneur wellness. You'll discover how movement creates mental breakthroughs, why tracking your habits provides game-changing insights, and how time-blocking prevents the urgent from overwhelming the important.The most powerful revelation? Your health isn't something you can delegate or outsource. Unlike many business functions, self-care requires personal commitment and consistent action. When we neglect ourselves in service of our businesses, we ultimately undermine the very things we're working to build.Whether you're struggling with brain fog, lack of presence, or simply feeling overwhelmed, these practical strategies will help you empty your barrel before it overflows. Your business deserves you at your best – and so do you.Main Street Reimagined:Facebook: facebook.com/MainStreetReimaginedThe Main Street Reimagined Podcast, Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqfkmF5bRH0od1d3iiYKs3oEn_gvMYk7NHenry Development Group: Facebook: facebook.com/henrydevelopmentgroupWebsite: www.henrydevelopmentgroup.comDeveloping News Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/33110524eb5c/developing-news  Luke Henry: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/luhenryFacebook: facebook.com/luke.henry.148#CommunitySoul#SmallTownStories#MarionOhio#DowntownRevival#Placemaking#EconomicDevelopment#BuildingCommunity#SmallTownLife#CommunityConnections#FamilyTravelStories#MainStreetReimagined#SupportLocalCommunities#SmallBusinessGrowth#SmallTownCritique#CommunityBuilding

If your conversations are starting to feel more like combat, you're not alone. In this powerful episode, Michael and Megan sit down with Jefferson Fisher—trial attorney, social media sensation, and author of The Next Conversation—to talk about the small shifts that create major breakthroughs in communication. From regulating your nervous system to choosing connection over triumph, this episode is packed with practical, actionable tools you can use today.Memorable Quotes“When you set out to win an argument, you often will lose the relationship. If you only see it as something to win, that means you're going to lose a lot more.”“Who wants to be around the person who always has to be right? That is somebody who is lonely.”“Instead of seeing arguments as something to win, you see them as something to unravel.”“You don't have to like it. You just gotta understand it.”“That's the key with connection: I can disagree with you and still connect with you. I can still be unhappy, I can still be mad at you, and still connect with you.”“You are in complete control of the pace of the conversation.”“When you don't say it with control, you end up reacting rather than responding. It's just your natural fight or flight will take over and you're going to start responding more emotionally.”“You gotta let them pour it all out before they'll ever be willing to accept anything that you say.”Key TakeawaysArguments Aren't Battles. If your goal is to win, you've already lost. Reframe arguments as something to unravel, not conquer.Start With Self-Control. Nervous system regulation is the key to effective communication—especially when things get tense.Use “Small Talks.” Short, verb-based phrases like “be still” or “practice kindness” can center you in high-stakes conversations.Connection > Agreement. We don't always have to be on the same page to cultivate a meaningful relationship.Confidence Follows Action. Speak with assertiveness, not apology. Confidence grows as you use your voice.ResourcesThe Next Conversation: Argue Less, Talk MoreJefferson Fisher on InstagramThe Jefferson Fisher PodcastWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/kJsQe3S3rw0This episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Self-Leadership: The Roadmap to Healing, Hope, and Deeper Intimacy In this episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis reflect on Marianne's powerful experience presenting at the ITAP (International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals) Conference, where she introduced a healing-intensive approach combining Frazier's Dissociative Table and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). Together, they explore the theme of self-leadership—what it means to take ownership of your healing journey and to navigate pain, trauma, and emotional disconnection with intention and insight. They dive into the importance of understanding our internal parts, drawing from Richard Schwartz's Internal Family Systems (IFS) and his concept of “No Bad Parts.” Listeners are guided to reflect on their emotional patterns, discover the unmet needs behind their actions, and learn how to respond to their emotions with compassion rather than reactivity. The conversation emphasizes that true self-leadership is not about perfection, but about authenticity, congruency, and ultimately, the ability to show up more fully in our most important relationships. Whether you're healing from betrayal, navigating relationship challenges, or seeking personal growth, this episode offers practical insights and encouragement to help you reconnect with yourself and others. Key Topics Covered: The role of self-leadership in trauma recovery and personal transformation Using the Dissociative Table and ART in a one-day intensive model Internal Family Systems and understanding our emotional “parts” The difference between insight and action in behavior change How trauma can lead to emotional reactivity and how to regulate it Why connection is the ultimate goal of healing and self-mastery The importance of giving yourself permission to pause and prioritize healing Resources Mentioned: Frazier's Dissociative Table Technique – A tool to identify internal parts and unresolved trauma Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) – A trauma-informed approach for rapid emotional processing Internal Family Systems (IFS) by Richard Schwartz Book: No Bad Parts by Dr. Richard C. Schwartz Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey (reference to “Sharpen the Saw”) Loving-Kindness Meditation – A mindfulness practice focused on compassion for self and others Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – Insights on unmet needs and attachment ruptures in couples Quote from C.S. Lewis – “There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.” Listener Takeaway: You don't have to be perfect to lead yourself well. Begin by noticing your patterns, asking what your emotions are trying to tell you, and taking small, intentional steps toward the connection and healing you deserve. Self-leadership is ultimately a journey toward becoming the kind of person who can love—and be loved—deeply.

In this episode, Scott Ramey, Founder of The Scott Ramey Group, shares how authentic leadership begins with mastering your own voice & presence.

In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, we explore the evolving landscape of wellness strategies, focusing on how pharmaceutical supports can be integrated into a holistic approach to health for midlife wellness. We discuss the importance of maintaining fundamental wellness practices while considering medical interventions as complementary tools rather than replacements. Key Points from this Episode: Understanding the role of pharmaceutical supports, including hormone therapy, weight management medications, and prescribed supplements in modern wellness The critical importance of maintaining fundamental health practices like hydration, sleep, nutrition, mindset, and movement Why taking an integrated approach (combining medical interventions with basic wellness practices) leads to better outcomes This episode emphasizes that while modern medical interventions can be valuable tools in our wellness journey, they work best when built upon a strong foundation of basic health practices. The message is clear: it's not about choosing between medical supports and fundamentals – it's about thoughtfully combining both for optimal results.

The foundation of self-leadership is self-awareness.” “Self-awareness is really knowing who you are, your goals, strengths, talents, passion, what gives you energy, and tendencies (how you communicate).” “Emotional intelligence is a lifetime skill – it's having the knowledge of our own emotions and regulating them and understanding others and leading with empathy andcompassion.” “Leadership is for people. Managing includes resources.” “Instead of thinking about yourself, think about the work you are doing, the learning. the purpose, the mission.” “Focus on self-love a lot.”   Three Episode Takeaways:  1.   When we think of managing up there are myths associated with it including we're arrogant or being out of integrity. We also think if we just do our work, datawill speak for itself and others will see the value added we bring. When someone manages up and actively sharing what is being contributed new opportunities open up. 2.   There are two extremes of leaders: 1.Totally promotes themselves or 2. Focus on the team at the loss of personal accomplishments. The in-between is to do both. 3.   Make sure your hard work is aligned with the organization and your boss so your work is adding value and appreciated. Nejat makes the distinction between a great and productive relationship with your boss. When having difficulty with yourboss, think about the different communication styles and remember to ask how they would like you to communicate to have a more productive relationship.  Special Offer:Managing Up Assessmenthttps://nbac.outgrow.us/nbac-3 Episode Resource: The Art of Managing Uphttps://www.amazon.com How to reach Nejat: nejat@n-bac.com Website: https://www.n-bac.com/ https://www.facebook.com/nejat.h.abdurahman/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/anejat/ How to reach Yo:  Our website:www.girltaketheleadpod.com You can send a messageor voicemail there.

In this conversation, Jim and Sharon Spano get into the intricacies of leadership, self-leadership, and the dynamics of time and money. They explore the importance of personal mission, the myth of work-life balance, and the concept of radical abundance.

What if the answer to your overwhelm isn't a new planner or app—but a walk around the block, a shared meal, or a Saturday spent gardening? In this episode, Michael and Megan sit down with Arthur Boers, author of Living into Focus and Shattered, to talk about the kind of practices that help us resist the pressure of a hyperconnected world and even heal from generational trauma by reconnecting to what matters most. If you've ever longed to feel more grounded, whole, or present, this conversation will give you the language—and tools—you've been missing.Memorable Quotes“Technoloy itself is not the problem. Technology is human manipulation of nature for human priorities… The question is: Do we master technology or does technology master us?”“What we ought to do is raise the thresholds against things that are not the priority… And then the other thing is lower the threshold for things that are your priorities."“Focal practice is just helping us reclaim things that we knew or did before and helping us prioritize them, helping us have a different perspective on them.”“Compassion is the way forward. It doesn't help to school people who are struggling with these things—but to listen to them with patience and kindness and compassion can, in fact, make a difference.”“Focal practices are about getting away from just acting automatically. That's how I was raised: If you act automatically, it's right. You're justified… I've had to unlearn that.”“It means a willingness to live with ambiguity and to live with pain and to live with things that aren't resolved and hold there—that's a hard learning.”Key TakeawaysFocal Practices Are More Than Habits. Focal practices aren't just routines—they're meaningful rhythms that require intentionality, foster connection, and reorient us to what matters most.Technology Calls For Discernment. Technology isn't going anywhere—but the way we engage with it should be thoughtful. The key to balance? Honest conversations in community.We Need Yellow Lights. In a culture of nonstop green lights (and plenty of red-light alarmism), we need more yellow lights—space to pause, reflect, and consider what's truly right for the moment.Brake Your Enthusiasm. Eager to dive headfirst into focal practices? That's your cue to slow down. Start small, stay consistent, and let the benefits build over time.An Unexpected Path to Healing. Focal practices don't just bring focus—they can bring healing. By creating spaces of safety, embodiment, and rhythm, they can support recovery from trauma and help us move toward greater wholeness.ResourcesLiving into Focus by Arthur BoersShattered: A Memoir by Arthur BoersThe Way is Made by Walking by Arthur BoersArthurBoers.comWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/ypJvOm0z8IUThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

How many times have you been stuck waiting for that magical lightning bolt of motivation to finally get things done? I know I have, countless times. But here's the truth I've learned, and it's what I want to share with you today: motivation is a lie we tell ourselves. In this episode, I'm laying it all out. I'm not waiting for some feeling to strike me before I tackle what needs to be done, and neither should you. Real change, the kind that sticks, starts with action–whether you feel like it or not. I'll be sharing some of my own struggles and the practical steps I've taken to break free from this motivation trap. For me, it became about more than just my own goals; it was about showing up as the dad my kids deserve. That intention, that commitment to them, became the real kickstarter. In this episode, I'm diving into: Why this whole idea of 'finding motivation' before starting is complete BS. The powerful realization I had: taking action actually creates the motivation you're waiting for. The simple, actionable strategies I use to get moving, even on those days when I feel like I'm dragging myself through mud. How focusing on the 'why' – especially the 'why' behind being a great dad – can be the ultimate fuel for consistent action. The incredible momentum you build in your life, and for your family, by taking those small, consistent steps, even when you don't feel like it. Look, I've seen the research, and it backs this up. Behavioral science shows that just doing something, anything, can shift your mindset and create that positive feedback loop. And as dads, we know our actions set the tone. When we show up, even when it's hard, our kids see that. So, if you're ready to stop waiting for a feeling and start taking control, this episode is for you. Let's ditch the motivation myth together and start building a life of action, one small step at a time. www.thedadedge.com/friday203 www.themensforge.com www.thedadedge.com/25questions www.thedadedge.com/alliance

Stoicism combined with empathy may sound like a contradiction in terms. But when these seemingly opposing forces are harnessed together, they have the power to change your life. In today's episode, I explore the concept of "stoic empathy" with award-winning lawyer, speaker, and thought leader Shermin Kruse. Blending cutting-edge research, ancient Stoic wisdom, and practical strategies, she challenges the traditional view of empathy as purely emotional, instead introducing a cognitive approach that allows us to understand others without losing control of our own emotions.
