Grow Strong Leaders Podcast
I’m fascinated by what it takes for leaders to live their values consistently, especially when it’s hard.
On the Grow Strong Leaders Podcast, I have candid conversations with senior executives who are working to sustain principled leadership at scale inside complex organizations. We talk about how values are reinforced through leadership capability, organizational systems, and the everyday decisions leaders make.
Our discussions also explore what gets tested when pressure rises—and the personal guardrails leaders rely on to stay aligned.
This podcast is for leaders who believe values should guide real decisions, not just appear on the wall.

Have you ever lost your cool when you encountered something unexpected?
In this solo episode, I describe a situation where I witnessed someone who became emotional and took it out on me.
Thankfully, I recognized that she was simply unable to think rationally in the moment, and I didn’t take it personally.
I’m the co-founder and president of Grow Strong Leaders. We’ve created online resources that help leaders strengthen their character and communication skills to build strong relationships and inspire others to perform at the highest level.
You’ll discover:
- The event that triggered this person’s reaction
- What I realized about the feelings she was experiencing
- How I handled the uncertainty of the moment
- The lessons I took away from that incident
- Two questions you can ask yourself when you feel fear or uncertainty
