Todd Davis didn’t just teach The 7 Habits—he lived them for 30 years inside the leadership company that built its name on them.

As the former Chief People Officer at FranklinCovey, Todd spent three decades coaching teams, executives, and entire organizations on what truly drives effectiveness—and what quietly kills it. In this episode, he unpacks why trust is more than a buzzword, how most leaders think they’re being clear (but aren’t), and what’s gone missing in today’s fast-changing workplace.

Whether you’re leading a team or just trying to survive your next meeting, this is your crash course in timeless leadership with zero fluff.
