In part two of the discussion with Dr. Tom Epperson, president of InnerWill Leadership Institute, he reminds listeners that leadership is not contained to the workplace but extends into every facet of life. Effective leadership is centered around people and clear communication within relationships, whether that applies to coworkers, family members, or communities. The good news is that there isn't one personality type that makes the best leaders. Tom coaches individuals within an organization to have difficult conversations, receive honest feedback, and work diligently to strengthen areas of vulnerability regardless of their personality strengths and weaknesses. One of the greatest challenges for leaders in this current climate is navigating change in a way that encourages engagement from team members. When a business is in the process of adapting to change, it's imperative to demonstrate transparency and community mindset throughout the entire process. That way employees feel a sense of ownership in the process and are more willing to actively participate. Main Topics The benefits of giving and receiving constructive feedback (02:45) Abundance mindset vs. lack mentality (05:05) All businesses are a people business (5:38) Personality styles and their relation to leadership (08:50) How leaders can successfully navigate change (14:45) Tom's book InnerWill: Developing Better People, Braver Leaders, and a Wiser World through the Practice of Values Based Leadership (18:40) Episode Linkshttps://innerwill.org/ Go to TheFridayHabit.com to find show notes for this episode.

Research shows that when people act on their core values, they are more engaged with their work, more fulfilled in their lives, and more likely to attract people and experiences that build their success. Dr. Tom Epperson, president of InnerWill Leadership Institute, coaches leaders to ignite human potential by transforming an organization's culture with clear core values. Having experienced firsthand the impact of transitioning from a profit-centered business to one that seeks to serve the community, he now helps others make choices that line up with what's truly important to them. Before an organization can align with its core values, leaders must be able to clearly define their values. This takes work! One way to discover your core values is by reflecting on where you spend your time, money, and energy. Some best practices for implementing values-based leadership in business and at home are building awareness, realizing potential, developing relationships, taking action, and reflecting on choices. Tom utilizes these interconnected approaches to help leaders develop into impactful pillars in their communities. After all, strong leaders lead by example. With intentional action, leaders can create thriving businesses and relationships built on a solid foundation of integrity. Main Topics Why Dr. Tom Epperson is all in on leadership (03:35) The events that led to Tom earning his doctorate in leadership (08:00) What is values-based leadership?

After an 85-year history as a successful business, President and CEO Charlie Luck IV realized that the business had so much more potential if alignment and collaboration of senior management could be improved. This led to a Values Based Leadership (VBL) journey—for his family and for the workplace. Ultimately, the Values Based Leadership principles and practices were shared with every employee at Luck Companies and every Luck family member. As a result, Luck Companies is the largest family-held and family-run aggregate business in the country, ranks in the top three most engaged places to work in the US, and is a thriving organization built for the future.The impact to Luck Companies, and to the individuals touched and transformed by the VBL journey, inspired the launch of InnerWill. Leadership is a choice, not a title –a conscious choice to work first on yourself to in turn positively impact the lives of those around you. Developing self-awareness takes tenacity and grit, while standing up for your core values take courage. We reflected on our definition of leadership and the strength needed to achieve it and chose the name InnerWill.Today, InnerWill teaches the necessary skills to strengthen leadership capabilities and drive results through the practice of VBL.

Tune in to my conversation with the unparalleled leadership expert Maria Gamb about the importance of values-based leadership to build a strong brand and reputational capital.Maria dives deep into:

Having closed out a month of Jewish holiday celebrations in October, I find myself reflecting on how holidays do such a good job of highlighting the importance of routines, rituals, and experiences. Each of them serves a unique role in our daily lives. A routine is a consistent, repeated action we take that helps set expectations and provide structure. For my family during the holidays, that looks like sitting down to have breakfast as a family before my husband goes to synagogue. It keeps us connected during an overwhelming time. A ritual—while similar to a routine—is a meaningful practice that gives an action a greater sense of purpose and helps ground you in your values, such as my family gathering to light the candles on the menorah during Hanukkah. This ritual anchors us to the holiday's values of connection and family. Experiences are a bit different. Although routines and rituals are types of experiences, what I really mean are the formative experiences that shape who you are.  They're a way for us to connect with those around us on a deeper level, in a way that no material item can replicate—which is why this past Hanukkah, my husband and I decided to give our kids experiences rather than gifts. What routines, rituals, and experiences have in common is the opportunity they give us to ground ourselves in the present moment. And when we're present, we have the chance to zero in on our values. You can leverage this power within your center. By considering how you can anchor your routines, rituals, and experiences to the values of your school, you can nourish the connections among your team and transform the culture of your center. In this week's episode, I'm talking about how to utilize routines, rituals, and experiences in integrating values into the culture of your school.  It's the final part in our 3-part series on values-based leadership. Join me for a conversation about: The difference between routines, rituals, and experiences  Why rituals are critical for building culture and teaching values How experiences can help you nourish connections among your team How to choose rituals and create experiences that anchor you to your values As we head into the final months of the year, take the time to reflect on how you can leverage the power of routines, rituals, and experiences in weaving your company values into the fibers of your school culture.   Learn more and apply for the Director's Inner Circle & Owner's HQ: http://Chanie.me/jointhedic   I'll be going into even more depth about routines, rituals, and experiences at the 2023 Summit of Excellence, which is all about building legacy through values-based leadership. https://schoolsofexcellence.com/summit Although the event is limited to members only, non-members still have time to join!

Tune in each week to learn from Chanie Wilschanski, the founder and host of the Schools of Excellence Podcast and a mom of 4 little kids.

Many of us have those “special” family stories—you know, the ones you've heard a million times that have been passed down from generation to generation.   For me, the one that always comes to mind is when my grandfather traveled to New York and met the Rebbe, one of the most influential Jewish leaders of the 20th century.    My grandfather was born in Russia during the communist regime, and in 1979, he and his wife fled to Israel. There, he worked three jobs just so that he could save extra money and one day go to New York to meet the Rebbe, who was instrumental in helping them escape.   After months of hard work, my grandfather had finally saved enough money and traveled to New York during the High Holidays that year.   When it finally came time for my grandfather to meet the Rebbe, the Rebbe asked him if he had bought his wife a gift. Dejectedly, my grandfather replied that he had spent all his savings to come to New York and couldn't possibly afford to bring anything home.   Without pause, the Rebbe gave my grandfather the name of a jeweler where he could buy a gift—and when the Rebbe tells you to do something, you listen.   When he returned to Israel, my grandfather gifted my grandmother a set of precious pearls he had bought from the jeweler the Rebbe had recommended. She wore those pearls proudly until her very last day, and after she died, they were passed down to my mother.   When I was a kid, the tale of my grandfather's journey to New York was just a story, like the ones I read in books. At the time, the only special meaning it held was that it was about my family.   It wasn't until I became an adult that I came to realize the value in the story and why my family chose to repeat it again and again: showing love  and appreciation for the ones we care for.   You see, storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to influence, teach, and inspire—not just in your family, but also your school.   When you understand how to leverage the power of storytelling, you can use the stories that happen within your school as anchors to teach values so they become woven into the fabric of your center. This will create a ripple effect that extends beyond you and your team.    It's a tool that has the potential to impact both the culture of your center and your community in a profound way—one that no amount of training ever could.   That's why in this week's episode, I'm diving into storytelling and how you can leverage it in values-based leadership. It's the first of a 3-episode series that explores how values are taught in homes and schools and how they help you build a legacy.   Join me for a conversation about: What makes storytelling such a powerful tool in shifting your culture Why values play a key role at home and school Translating values into decision-making The transition into leading from your values (HINT: It's messy)   Each one of us has stories that paint a picture of who we are, where we come from, and where we're going. Learn to use your school's stories to shift the culture of your center and create a lasting impact on your community.   Learn more and apply for the Director's Inner Circle & Owner's HQ: http://Chanie.me/jointhedic   We'll be diving even deeper into the power of storytelling at the 2023 Summit of Excellence, which centers on building legacy through values-based leadership.

The values you uphold are one of the most crucial aspects of leadership. Knowing and promoting those values as a leader helps you influence and govern your team in the right direction. And by adhering to your values, you inspire others to follow and adopt them.   In this episode of Fifth Dimensional Leadership, I interview Harry Kraemer, Jr. Harry is an executive partner at Madison Dearborn Partners, a private equity firm based in Chicago. He is also a Clinical Professor of Leadership at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.  In our conversation, Harry talks about leading and positively influencing people through values-based leadership.   Harry is the author of three best-selling leadership books: From Values to Action: The Four Principles of Values-Based Leadership; Becoming The Best: Build a World-Class Organization Through Values-Based Leadership. and Your 168: Finding Purpose and Satisfaction in a Values-Based Life.   Harry is the former chairman and CEO of Baxter International Inc., a $13 billion global healthcare company. He joined Baxter in 1982 as director of corporate development and was named senior vice president and chief financial officer in 1993. In the following years, he assumed additional responsibility in Baxter's Renal and Medication Delivery businesses, was elected to Baxter's board of directors in 1995, and was named president of Baxter International Inc. in 1997.    Harry graduated summa cum laude from Lawrence University of Wisconsin with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and economics. He received an MBA degree in finance and accounting from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management and is a certified public accountant.  Things you will also learn in this episode: Putting things in perspective through math. Three things Harry did as CEO at Baxter that drove success. Distinguishing between values and preferences What it means to be liked vs. being respected. Examples of effective communication and setting boundaries. Quotes: “It's when you get to explain things that you realize you understand it.” - Harry Kraemer   “Values are non-negotiable, must not be compromised, and should be laid out very clearly.” - Harry Kraemer   “As a leader, when you're leading, the goal is not to be right; the goal is to do the right thing.” - Harry Kraemer   “This whole idea of leadership has nothing to do with titles and organizational charts, but it has everything to do with the ability to influence people.” - Harry Kraemer   “The more you know about any topic, the more you know how little you know. - Harry Kraemer   “You can learn something from every single person you encounter, and when that light goes on and you realize how much you can learn by every encounter, it changes your life.” - Harry Kraemer   “Develop a balanced perspective… seek to understand before you are understood.” - Harry Kraemer

You speak to where your passions are. And in this conversation, John Gough's passions are totally evident: his six children. But it begs the question: can passion at home translate to passion at work? Or does a watershed moment of prioritization have to take place? As the VP of Digital and Web at Element Three, John approaches every decision with integrity and intentionality. By aligning his principles with a long view toward satisfaction, he lives without regrets. In this deeply personal discussion, John shares the factors that shaped his leadership style—living abroad in his formative years, his close relationship to his father, his faith, and the values that guide him with humility and refreshing self-awareness. This striking self-awareness leads Joe and Reid to question if their next guest may be beyond the E3 walls…listen to find out.

The Dina Dwyer-Owens Interview With Matthew KellyNew York Times bestselling author Matthew Kelly interviews Dina Dwyer-Owens.In a world where corporations are increasingly driven by algorithms, analytics, and bottom-line profits, a movement to restore values-based business practices is a breath of fresh air.I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Dina Dwyer-Owens, author of Values Inc. and former chairwoman and CEO of Neighborly. Our conversation covered dozens of topics, from being raised in an entrepreneurial household, to her experiences in business and her values-based leadership, to her insights into what it takes to raise a family and nurture faith as a working mother.I hope this conversation helps you re-evaluate the way you approach the everyday realities of life: work, family, and relationships. Whether you're a father or mother, sibling or friend, employee or leader, the wisdom of values can elevate you and every aspect of your life. A mother, an executive leader, a woman of faith, the wisdom Dina shares can benefit anyone, in any stage of life or career.

Our guest on the podcast this week is Maria Gamb, Founder and CEO of the coaching and training company NMS Communications. As a former Fortune 500 executive in Corporate America, she directed successful businesses valued at more than $100 million. Her global experience led her to write the Amazon best-selling book “Healing the Corporate World”.

She is dedicated to helping busy professionals align their life and leadership to create great leadership with impact. Today Maria shares her own real-life journey towards creating a life that holds more meaning, personally and professionally, as she asks the question “Can I do something that has a more profound impact on the world?”. Maria speaks with a true passion about how commerce is, and always has been created as a force for good, a structure that creates so much value for those involved. Listen in as we talk through how business is all about enriching people's lives with education, providing incomes so others can work and support their families, and how business is so important in our human evolution. We talk through the challenges of our times, of how the power has shifted as so many of us are re-evaluating our relationships in all areas of life, particularly with regard to our relationship with employers, as we realize that one of the most important decisions we each have to make is where we will spend our time and how we will do it. If you have ever found yourself yearning for a life with more meaning then I encourage you to listen to this deeply resonant dialogue for insights. I suspect you'll enjoy Maria's perspective on how we can find more meaning in our individual lives, in our role as leaders, and also in our workplaces. Key Takeaways Maria's life journey has brought her to create a life of more meaning for herself and how she did it How to lead in ways that create more meaning for your people What it means to be truly authentic The insight is that we're all in the relationship business, investing in people is truly important How everything you want and need is right in front of you, but if you're moving too fast you won't see it! Memorable Quote “Don't allow somebody to put you in a position where you have to be a certain way in order to succeed. That's just not true.

It's time to get unstuck. Are you making the money you want? Are your relationships what you desire them to be? Is your health where you want it? If not, you are sabotaging yourself. Pat Pearson, M.S.S.W. author, and psychotherapist has found what you create in life is largely determined by what you think you deserve. This podcast focuses on the psychology of stopping self-sabotage and the recovery process of truly creating the life you want and deserve! Do you find yourself procrastinating? You have that report due at noon but you feel compelled to clean your office before sending it. That is a form of procrastination. Procrastination is one of the most common forms of Self-Sabotage. Do you find yourself chronically worried about things that might or might not happen, but eventually never do? What is holding you back from quitting your job, taking a big career leap, or even taking time to rest by traveling and taking vacation time. That can all be attributed to chronic worry. That chronic worry can impact your productivity and overall happiness leading to self-sabotage. Substance abuse, and stress eating can all be considered self-sabotage. It is a journey to recover from these habits but you don't have to spend your life consumed by substance abuse, procrastination, and stress eating. Build your tolerance, with each episode, Author Pat Pearson, MSSW breaks down walls and assists in recovery.    Dive in to her book with five proven strategies for getting "unstuck" at work, in relationships, and in life.

It's almost the New Year, which means it's the perfect time to reflect on the first year of the Mission Driven Business podcast. In this special Year in Reflection episode, Brian re-lives some of the best moments from the first 21 episodes of the podcast. You'll hear some of the insights, strengths, and hope shared by the diverse podcast guests on their respective episodes. Brian also shares some of his favorite nuggets of wisdom, and he recounts how each guests' story ties into the larger podcast theme -- that you can make money and serve a purpose. Episode Highlights There is no one definition of mission-driven business. If you've listened to the podcast, you know that the first thing Brian asks his guests is to describe what a mission-driven business means to them. That's because mission-driven businesses are distinct, and everyone has a different answer. One of Brian's favorite answers came from Phuong Luong, who shared a quote she heard in grad school. “Don't ask yourself what the world needs,” she said. “Instead, ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that. Because what the world needs is for more people to come alive.” Regardless of their definition, Brian makes sure listeners know that your business can make money and serve a purpose. It's a point echoed by many of the guests on the podcast. In the very first episode, Dawn Hancock summarized the principle by saying, “Profit does matter. It just doesn't have to be the only thing.” But Brian Floriani may have said it most succinctly in episode 18: “No margin. No mission.” Everyone has a different journey. Every entrepreneur on the show has had a different path to their career. Brian highlighted how in episode two, Bill Bynum credited his childhood experiences as fundamental to him later running one of the largest community development financial institutions (CDFIs) in the U.S. Other entrepreneurs had numerous twists on their paths running companies with purpose and profit. In episode 13, attorney Nici Kersey shared how running her own businesses wasn't something she planned, but came after her company let her go because of a military move. Nothing is perfect. Unforeseen circumstances are a given with entrepreneurial life. In episode 11, Lauren Klafke opened up about how her work and home life adjusted when her business started booming at the same time she was caring for a newborn and overseeing a house remodel. One way to navigate unforeseen circumstances is to know your values. Perhaps the best example yet of letting your values guide you is financial planner River Nice. In episode 20, River shared how their values first guided them to leave the corporate world and try their hand at entrepreneurship, then again when defining their niche. The result is that River's day-to-day work is aligned with their strengths and values. “I'm just so happy on a day-to-day basis,” River said. “Who knew life could be this good? It feels like bragging, but that's the point, right? The point of this podcast is that life can be this good, and you can do it, too.” Learn from the experts' experiences. While it's nice to hear about purpose and values, podcast listeners have most enjoyed learning the strategies and tactics guests rely upon to run their home and work lives. In episode 16, the owners of Columbus Running Company played up the importance of community, while in episode 3, Jacob Padrón praised the merits of asking for help. But Brian particularly appreciated the insights of Nici Kersey on how to let go of perfectionism: watch baseball. “Watching baseball made me really focus more on the fact that you don't have to be perfect,” Nici said. “These players are the best in the world at being a baseball player, and they mess up all the time, right?” Self-care isn't selfish. Brian always ends the episode by asking each guest to share anything surprising they've learned on their journey. One of the most commented lines ever on the podcast came from Pamela Capalad's answer to this very question. “Running a business mostly sucks,” she said in episode 5. While running a mission-driven can suck at times, all entrepreneurs on the podcast say the freedom and fulfillment are well worth pushing the uncertainty and overcoming the inevitable obstacles. But the grit needed to do that can be hard to learn, said Mark Suh in episode 21. “That belief in yourself has to be strong enough that you don't quit,” he said. While the year has been filled with wisdom, Brian's favorite piece of advice also came from the answer to this last question when Emlen praised the importance of self-care. In episode 10, Emlen explained how incorporating self-care into his regimented schedule has helped him ultimately have a more productive day. “It was the aspect of tracking over time that made me realize, when I do this, I was a better husband, I was a better dad, I was more patient with the kids,” he said.

For over 20 years, I have worked to climb the ladder in Corporate America. Throughout these years, I found the best way to thrive as an executive was to be ambitious in the climb and develop professional joy along the way. This why I created NJS Consulting Group; to help executives find courage, confidence, and a powerful strategy to lead with impact. When working with executives, I help them get out of their own way, develop a strategy to get to their next level of success and find more purpose in their careers. Outside of my one-on-one work with executive leaders, I facilitate team leadership workshops to help the team show up as more impactful leaders and deliver positive change to their organizations. I also offer consulting services to businesses to mitigate risk, support growth initiatives, and create positive transformation with their leadership teams. I hold an MBA from Olivet Nazarene University and am a certified coach through an International Coach Federation (ICF) accredited program. I am an Adjunct Professor at Loyola University, Chicago, and Lake Forest Graduate School of Management, where I teach courses on Values-Based Leadership, Leading Organizational Change, and Corporate Social Responsibility. I am a Founding Guide at Chief (Chicago), the social network dedicated to women's leadership. When I am not serving my clients, you can find me watching a movie with my husband, shopping with my daughter, or laughing on the phone with my son, who lives out of state. I love to travel and spend time with friends and family.
