Ep 102 - Life on the X with Stephen Drum
Where does “X” mark the spot in your personal and professional life? Why should you be careful not to get caught up in the outcome? Do you make and hold space for reflective vulnerability? I’m so excited to share this episode with my friend Stephen Drum. He is the author of the book, Life On The X, about his experiences as a Navy SEAL, which releases on March 7. Although we recorded this episode late in 2022 and he finished his book then too, we’re only able to release it this year because Stephen first had to clear the information in his book through the Department of Defense. We hope that the wait was worth it! Thanks for listening!

Ep 97 - Everyone Communicates, Few Connect
Where do most leaders fall short when it comes to creating genuine connections? What can you do every day to build credibility and trust with your employees? How is forming a connection a skill that you can develop? I’m excited to share the last book of the 2022 IDL bookclub with you, Everyone Communicates, Few Connect, by John Maxwell. At the end of the global pandemic, it seemed that there were a lot of people yearning for connection. Despite all the effort that people were going through to communicate, it still seems that few of us connect meaningfully. Today, I address this idea, and via John’s book, offer insights on how to grow your connection with others. Thanks for listening!

Ep 95 - A Legacy of Leadership with Oakland McCulloch
Why should you always get your own cup of coffee? What is the creative power that lies behind organized chaos? Can you build an “idea cake”? I’m so excited to bring this conversation with Lieutenant Colonel Oakland McCulloch to you. LTC McCulloch is a retired U.S. Army officer, and together we dig into the origins of modern-day emotional leadership. We trace its origins to military styled leadership, and reflect on how that has come to characterize modern day leadership philosophy. We also consider why the modern military has made a switch towards emotionally intelligent leadership, and why it is that the corporate world has not seen a shift to the same degree.
