Compassion, understanding, empathy and honesty aren’t always puppies and rainbows. Sometimes leaders have to show love to their people by letting them know they’re not performing at the level they should. We call this honest love and it can be uncomfortable but is absolutely necessary for leaders that care for their people. When a leader fails to give someone honest feedback they are robbing them of the ability to grow. 

Jody and Morgon share a passion for leadership, love and people. “That L Word” is their brainchild born over the best Mexican food downtown Jacksonville, NC has to offer and is meant to evoke the word, “Love” in the same conversation as, “Leadership.” We believe that leadership and love belong in the same sentence and aren’t afraid to cut past the noise and talk about what really matters. 

On “That L Word” we talk about love, empathy, trust, loyalty, listening, life, and ALL of the other things that people are afraid to say out loud in the same sentence with leadership. Leadership is ALL about people and people have feelings, leaders included - so get in here! Sit down and let’s talk about the stuff that might make you uncomfortable, but will absolutely make you a better person and leader!

Morgon is known best as, “The People’s Coach.” He coaches athletes, executives and leaders with an emphasis on knowing and loving themselves first. His leadership and people skills were developed over two decades in the United States Marine Corps but Morgon has taken that passion and knowledge beyond his service. Morgon developed his coaching style after realizing his athletes needed more than just a workout and nutrition plan - they needed to be seen as people first. Morgon coaches executives and leaders the same way he coaches athletes, as people - not titles, so they can be successful in whatever they endeavor.
