June 15, 2025The Real Reason No One Follows Your Vision
If no one’s following you, it’s not your message — it’s your mindset.
In this raw and revealing episode, change strategist Pam Marmon exposes the hidden forces that sabotage even the smartest visions: fear, control, passive resistance, and the lie we keep telling ourselves — that change is just “hard.”
You’ll learn:
Why employees resist you, not just the change

The subtle ways leaders micromanage without realizing it

How your need to “get it done” is killing your influence

The three forms of resistance and how to defuse each one

What real listening looks like — especially when no one is talking

Why every failed transformation begins with the wrong belief
Whether you're rolling out a new initiative, rebranding your business, or simply trying to get your team to care — this conversation is your crash course in becoming the kind of leader people want to follow.
Because if your people feel like change is happening to them, not with them — you’ve already lost.

June 14, 2025Empathy Isn’t Weak — It’s Your Most Dangerous Advantage
If you think empathy makes you soft, you’ve already lost the negotiation.
In this masterclass, psychiatrist and bestselling author Dr. Judith Orloff dismantles the myth that empathy is a weakness — and reveals how it can become your sharpest strategic edge in business, leadership, and life.
You’ll learn:
Why emotionally detached “logic” leaders burn out — and how to fix it

How to disarm aggression and navigate conflict with strength and clarity

The difference between performing empathy and actually living it

How to lead teams without shame, ego, or bulldozing ideas

When empathy can fail — and how to spot narcissists before they exploit you

Tactical ways to respond when you're out of time, out of patience, or totally disagree
Dr. Orloff shares practical, actionable tools from her book The Genius of Empathy (with a foreword by the Dalai Lama), including strategies for tough conversations, emotional self-protection, and leading with intention — not intimidation.
If you want to be respected, trusted, and heard — this episode is your blueprint.

June 13, 2025They’re Not Difficult — You’re Just Not Reading Them Right (Yet)
You don’t have a “difficult people” problem — you have a perception problem.
Most of the tension you feel with others doesn’t come from who they are — it comes from how you’re reading them. In this masterclass episode, Kwame Christian breaks down the psychological patterns that make certain personalities seem “impossible” — and shows you how to turn frustration into collaboration using practical, repeatable strategies.
You’ll learn:
The 5 personality traits you must understand to lead and persuade anyone

How to quickly assess someone’s behavior — without labeling or judging

Why your best leadership tools stop working with certain people (and how to adapt)

How to handle pushback, coldness, or resistance without losing your cool

A real-time script for giving feedback without triggering defensiveness

Why emotional control, not charisma, is your most persuasive asset

How to reframe every tense moment — even with bulldozers, skeptics, and cynics
If you’ve ever said “I just don’t know how to deal with this person,” this episode is your playbook.

June 12, 2025You’re Not Bad at Negotiating — You’re Just Missing the Moment
Most people think they’re bad at negotiating. The truth? They’re just not noticing when the negotiation begins.
In this episode, professor and global negotiation expert Suzanne de Janasz joins Kwame to reveal why missed moments — not missing skills — are what keep most people stuck. Whether it’s asking your partner for help, challenging unfair dynamics at work, or speaking up about the “small things” before they blow up, negotiation is happening everywhere… even if you don’t see it.
You’ll learn:
Why timing is strategy — and why ambushing never works

How small annoyances become big problems when you stay silent

How to evaluate if something is worth negotiating — or worth letting go

The invisible labor women take on without realizing it

Why sarcasm, snark, and silence are all signs of negotiation avoidance

A simple mindset shift to start recognizing negotiation opportunities in daily life
If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation thinking “I should’ve said something…” — this one’s for you.
