In this episode of Being Intrepid, Sam Herring talks with Scott Blanchard, CEO at Blanchard, about what leadership looks like in a time when people show up to work already stressed. Scott shares why psychological safety is a real prerequisite for learning, what still matters most as the “how” of leadership development shifts, and why spaced learning over time can outperform the one-day workshop. 

Scott also discusses the Blanchard Institute and Student Self Leadership, a free program helping teens build responsibility, confidence, and self-leadership skills. 

What you’ll learn: 

• Why managers are under unique pressure right now 
• How safety unlocks learning and performance 
• Spaced learning vs. the one-day classroom model 
• The “manager has my back” leadership test 
• How Blanchard is investing in teen self-leadership
