When we listen well, we meet a fundamental need in people to feel understood and affirmed.  Yet, so often we don't focus on being good listeners and forget the principle of seeking first to understand before we seek to be understood. In this episode, Cal focuses on two key principles to being a great listener, and he asks listeners to commit to being better listeners.  Let's commit to this principle and believe that it can change our relationships and maybe even our world.

#4: Quick to Listen, Slow to Speak - Change Your World (Change the World)

Let's be honest. The hardest person you will ever have to lead is the person you look at in the mirror everyday.


Self-leadership is the most important thing we do as leaders, but it's hard.


And it hasn't gotten any easier in a world of smart phone addiction, social media comparison, global pandemics, and information overload (just to name a few obstacles).


That's why Intentional Leader exists.


We help leaders take the guesswork out of self-leadership, fight a reactionary lifestyle, accelerate their personal growth, and achieve their God-given potential at home, at work, and in their communities.


This is why we get out of bed each morning. We love helping leaders on their personal growth journey! Because we know when the leader gets better everyone benefits. Organizations, communities, and families all thrive when the leader is thriving.

We are a team of ordinary people with an extraordinary passion for personal growth and helping leaders thrive.


Join this community to pursue personal growth and leadership excellence, to inspire others, and make a lasting impact on the world. Life is short, so let's make it count by living an intentional life.


On this podcast, Cal Walters — a follower of Jesus, a husband, father, West Point graduate, former Infantry Officer, Army Ranger, combat veteran, lawyer, and Army JAG — passionately explores ways to live intentionally, make each day count, and lead with greater influence and impact.


Cal firmly believes leadership matters, and this podcast will help you lead yourself and inspire others. Cal believes we each have a unique contribution to make to the world, and he wants to help you make yours!
