Today, I am excited to introduce to you an author I’ve just recently met, but who has written at least five books so far. I’m especially thankful to former guest Honoree Corder who put him on my radar. Thank you, Honoree! His name is Charlie Hoehn and he describes himself (among other things) as a […] The post 406: A Cure for Anxiety From Former Anxiety-Ridden Workaholic Charlie Hoehn first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

Over the years, I’ve definitely read my share of books on the topic of public speaking. It’s a skill I believe I will never stop improving upon. As leaders, I think that goes for all of us. Being able to effectively communicate one’s ideas – one-on-one or to a group – is critical to our […] The post 404: A Proven Plan for Leading Successful Meetings, Dynamic Workshops, and Effective Training Events with Paul Maltby first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

Sometimes I come across someone who has managed to write a number of books that have somehow NOT been on my radar. Today, I get the chance to “fix” that by featuring an author of nearly 15 books to date. His name is Robert L. Dilenschneider. He’s written books like Decisions, Power and Influence, and […] The post 403: How History’s Awesome Twentysomethings Got It Together with Robert L.

I’ve had the chance, recently, to welcome more and more guests on the show that have been introduced to me by previous guests. It’s a nice problem to have. Let me take this moment to give a shoutout to Honoree Corder, our guest from just last month in Episode #399. Thanks to Honoree, I get […] The post 402: Reclaim Control and Make Every Situation a Win-Win with Gail Rudolph first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

It’s not often that I get to interview two authors in a single episode. Today’s show, though, is one of those kinds of shows. And we’re incredibly fortunate to have them both. I’m talking about Jim Afremow and Phil White. Together, they’ve co-authored a new book called The Leader’s Mind: How Great Leaders Prepare, Perform, […] The post 401: How Great Leaders Prepare, Perform, and Prevail with Jim Afremow and Phil White first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

Leadership author Liz Wiseman discusses strategies for playing a larger role in leadership, unleashing impact players in the workplace, and the habits of successful individuals. She also explores the importance of building a supportive advisory network, engaging in a morning ritual, and teaching Bible study to teens.

Since beginning the Read to Lead Podcast over eight years ago, I’ve had the chance to meet more than my fair share of people whose talents include helping others write and publish books (in addition to a few of their own). One of those people is Karen Anderson, a strategic book advisor and coach, associate […] The post 399: Applying Relationship Rules in Business for Ultimate Success first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

Today’s guest has been helping train leaders and their teams for several decades. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone else with her level of training experience. Her name is Meredith Bell.  She is president and co-founder of Performance Support Systems, a global software company. Since 1994 she has helped develop brain-based, online assessment […] The post 398: Learning and Development Programs That Stick with Meredith Bell first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

I feel like my guest today is a bit of a kindred spirit of sorts. Numerous times during our conversation, I thought of many examples from my own life of several of the topics we discussed. We see eye-to-eye on a lot of things, not the least of which is many of us are caught […] The post 397: Thursday is the New Friday with Author Joe Sanok first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.
