Strong Leaders Serve with Teri Schmidt
For compassionate leaders who've quietly outgrown what used to work.
You're not in leadership for the title. You're in it to use your strengths to make a way for others to use theirs.
You've stopped waiting for a certainty that was never going to arrive. Now you're ready to lead with clarity and confidence, right in the middle of the uncertainty.
This show is for you if you're looking to:
✅ Find your footing again, instead of just pushing through the overwhelm
✅ Turn the people who follow you into leaders in their own right
✅ Lead in a way that sustains you, not one that wears you down
Hosted by Teri Schmidt, Executive Leadership Coach & CEO of Strong Leaders Serve.
Each episode supports leaders navigating the shift into roles where success isn't just about their own performance anymore. It's about leading through complexity, ambiguity, and stakes their old playbook never had to handle.
We name what's actually happening underneath the overwhelm, and find a way back to steady leadership, without pretending there's a five-step fix.

137. The Most Important Collaboration Skill for Work & Life
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If I told you there was 1 collaboration skill that I think could transform culture and significantly reduce stress in our teams, homes, and communities, what would you guess it was?
Listening.
I thought I was a really good listener, especially at work. But after learning more and observing my actions, it turns out I'm not. And that unseen skill gap has led to a great deal of unnecessary frustration. How about you?
Just like last week, we're giving you a glimpse into one of the collaboration skills we teach as part of our Learn by Doing (Good) team building experiences.
And this is an important one, particularly with holiday dinner table conversations coming up.
