Who you are matters more than what you do... On today's episode, Alan and Jonathan discuss the topic of identity and why we need to consistently remind ourselves that what we do, who we lead, the impact we create are not what defines us.

Consistency is something we long for. Consistency in our organizations. Within our teams. With our routines and rhythms. Within our relationships. The funny thing about consistency, though, is that you don't have to create it. You're already consistent. Good, bad, or indifferent. Put another way, Healthy, unhealthy, or headed toward burnout, you are already consistent. The challenge is finding where your consistency lies and HOW to take steps toward becoming more consistent with the things that matter most in your life and leadership.  On today's episode of our summer series, Alan and Jonathan jump into the topic of consistency and why consistency is something we need to cultivate in order to live and lead healthier, more effective, and with more impact.

If you've ever felt like you're drowning in your responsibilities, you're not alone. Many people struggle with overwhelm. So how do you manage overwhelm and avoid burnout? The answer lies in clarity.   On today's episode, we'll break down how being specific, taking action, and recognizing your own strengths can help you gain clarity and take crucial next right steps in your life and leadership. 

Failure is a big word. Leaders deal with failure all the time. We help those we lead overcome failure, we help them learn, adapt, and move forward. But, how often do we lead ourselves through a failure and toward the next opportunity?   On this episode of our summer series, Alan and Jonathan guide you through an interactive episode all about failure, why it's actually important, and a process for "feeding backwards to feed forward"
