Empowering Impact
Creighton Blackwell
In this episode, Creighton Blackwell and Jenni Speth engage in a conversation about leadership, personal growth, and values. Blackwell emphasizes the importance of empathy, respect, and authenticity in leadership. He reflects on how empathy is a "superpower" for effective leaders, enabling them to understand and meet the true needs of their teams and communities, rather than projecting what they think others need. He shares how these values shape his approach both in his professional life and in coaching, where his genuine and empathetic nature comes through, even in his interactions with his kids.
Jenni acknowledges Blackwell's inspiring approach and leadership philosophy, highlighting his values as essential for meaningful leadership. The conversation wraps up with Blackwell expressing gratitude for the opportunity to participate in the podcast and a thank you for the work Jenni and her team do to facilitate these important discussions.
The episode also briefly touches on the upcoming Herb Wegner Memorial Awards dinner, where Blackwell will be speaking, inviting listeners to join and further engage with the conversation around leadership and community impact.
Together, we can make all the difference. Until next time, your National Credit Union Foundation.
