Lessons in Leadership

Hey everyone, Bill Storm here with the Lessons in Leadership podcast. Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with executive coach Myrna King to discuss a concept she calls permission sets. If you’ve ever struggled with setting boundaries, saying no, or managing your time effectively, this conversation is for you.

When I started the Lessons in Leadership podcast, my goal was simple: to explore the principles that elevate leaders to their fullest potential. This week, I had the privilege of interviewing Janet M. Harvey, author of From Tension to Transformation: A Leader’s Guide to Generative Change. Our conversation was a masterclass in authentic leadership, the power of vulnerability, and embracing tension as a catalyst for growth.

Janet describes herself as an alchemist, someone who transforms what exists into something greater. She left corporate life in 1996 to pursue her calling of helping others navigate change and awaken to their authentic selves. "Life gets easier when you align with your core passion," Janet shared. But, she cautioned, "easier doesn’t mean without struggle."

I’m incredibly grateful to Janet M. Harvey for sharing her wisdom and insights on the Lessons in Leadership podcast. If you’re ready to embrace tension as a catalyst for transformation, I highly recommend picking up her book and taking the Workplace Tension Assessment mentioned during the interview.

Hey everyone, Bill Storm here! I recently had an inspiring conversation with David Schmidt, a certified executive career coach and managing partner of Madison Partners, on my Lessons in Leadership podcast. We explored two fundamental leadership questions:

1. How do you find your "right seat on the bus" and operate in your zone genius?

2. How do leaders ensure they place the right people in the right seats, and why it matters?

David’s insights were both practical and thought-provoking, offering valuable lessons for leaders and professionals at every level.

David Schmidt

I have a passion for helping people get clarity on “what’s next”.

My focus is working with up-and-coming executives in their 30s, accomplished leaders in their 40s, and established executives 50+ who are looking for a trusted advisor to help them make the right career move.

My clients are highly intelligent, accomplished leaders who are making an impact on the companies they have worked for. But, when a private equity deal is done, a merger, or a new management team comes in, my clients turn to me for direction, accountability, and knowledge to guide them through the career search process.

Since 2012, I've worked with over 1000 executives providing executive-level recruiting, career coaching, resume advice, interviewing techniques, writing business plans, and salary negotiations.

Since 2007, I’ve been a life coach working with men who are struggling in life and providing one-on-one coaching to help them get unstuck.

As a career coach, business owner, executive recruiter, real estate investor, entrepreneur, franchise owner, husband, father, and son I have had my fair share of life, business and career experiences. My passion is to help my clients find that perfect new job that will give them purpose.

Making a career change is one of the most important decisions you will make in your lifetime. Let’s do it together.

Jaime Taets

As the CEO of Keystone Group International, Jaime created the organization to focus on leadership development, organizational strategy, and growth.

Before starting Keystone Group International, she spent 13 years in a large corporate environment in a variety of leadership roles, living and traveling globally. Jaime believes that strong leadership is the foundation for healthy and sustainable growth for any business. She uses her leadership experience to drive “real” discussions about how to drive high performance and healthy cultures within client organizations. Leaders need to be focused on helping their organizations create a positive mindset change to manage the constant change as their business grows and evolves.

Jaime’s areas of expertise are helping organizations identify the issue that is getting in their way of growth and creating a plan for improvement – specifically in areas of strategy, culture, and people. Jaime uses her SuperPower of Empathy and high EQ to build strong relationships with clients and leaders within organizations she works with. This same SuperPower allows her to build trust quickly which makes it easier to get to the root of the issue. The purpose behind Jaime’s work is to create an impact on the people she works with. Jaime is driven by the positive changes that she creates for her clients-it’s an addiction.

What do you believe is a strength of Keystone as an organization?

Our core values are absolutely our strength. They run deep in our organization and they’re the foundation for helping us make confident decisions. They guide all our decisions and I’m proud of how strong they are.

What is your favorite past time?

I love boating, playing sand volleyball, and traveling.

Is there a motivational speaker or management guru that inspires you?

Simon Sinek – meeting him is on my bucket list – so if you have any connections, let me know!

In Chapter 7 of Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, Dr. Joe Dispenza dives into “The Gap” — the space between your current self and the future self you aspire to become. This chapter is a roadmap for navigating the discomfort of change and bridging the divide between old habits, limiting beliefs, and the version of yourself capable of creating your desired reality.

Many of us get stuck in the gap, caught between the pull of our familiar past and the vision of our future. The gap can feel like a place of resistance, self-doubt, and uncertainty. But as Dr. Dispenza emphasizes, the gap is not a barrier; it’s a space of opportunity. By understanding how to cross it with intention and persistence, you can unlock the door to lasting transformation.

This article unpacks the key lessons from Chapter 7 and provides actionable strategies to help you navigate the gap with clarity, courage, and confidence.

As the host of the Lessons in Leadership podcast, I’ve had the privilege of speaking with some incredible minds in the business world. Today, I’m thrilled to share insights from my recent conversation with Dr. Bonnie Wilson, an executive coach who works with ambitious tech leaders.

Dr. Wilson’s expertise lies in helping leaders overcome one of the toughest challenges in leadership: holding people accountable while delegating effectively. It’s a skill that’s deceptively simple but critical for success, especially in fast-paced industries like tech.

Dr. Bonnie Wilson: From Nursing to Executive Coaching

For more than 25 years, I have dedicated myself to various roles within the healthcare industry, starting with bedside nursing positions in Washington, D.C., Maryland, New York, and Texas. Transitioning to leadership in Washington, D.C., I led the emergency department before becoming the Administrative Director of Emergency and Outpatient Services in the largest healthcare provider in western Maryland.

My formal coaching career began in 2011 with the Studer Group, where I collaborated with c-suite executives, directors, and managers to improve customer, employee, and physician engagement in over a dozen healthcare organizations. From 2011 to early 2020, I was the Executive Director for Emergency Services in a large healthcare system on the west coast, achieving remarkable results in patient experience.

After moving to Texas, Dr. Bonnie pursued my lifelong dream of combining my operational and relationship-building skills as the CEO and Founder of Xceeding the Mark, LLC Executive Coaching and Consulting.

My expertise in executive coaching for managers and professional growth in the workplace is complemented by my extensive academic and professional credentials. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and spending time with my family.
