  • The Power of Significance
    Jun 11 2026

    Last week, we talked about bringing purpose to our roles as leaders, and today, we’re diving into one specific aspect of purpose: significance.

    We’re going to break down two types of significance — the significance of each of your team members, and the significance of each role on your team.

    When you have a deep understanding of significance, it shows — your team feels it, even if you never mention it explicitly.

    And I’ll share tips for applying this concept immediately.

    Thanks for listening.

  • The Power of Purpose
    May 28 2026

    Humans love purpose. We crave it. We want a connection to meaning in our lives and in our work.

    Having purpose makes us go farther by lightening our steps on the journey — this is true of individuals and of teams. And leaders are purpose torchbearers.

    Today on the podcast, I’m sharing what it means to lead with purpose and how to bring purpose into your daily work with your team.

    Thanks for listening.

  • People Support the Things They Help Create
    May 14 2026

    On Mike Birbiglia’s podcast, he regularly asks guests to share the best piece of advice they’ve received that they actually used. Every time I hear him ask, I think of today’s podcast topic: people support the things they help create.

    This idea, taught to me by my beloved mentor and friend Ken, is a leadership game-changer.

    Let’s talk about what this means, what it definitely doesn’t mean, and why it works.

    Thanks for listening.
