Your team isn't underperforming because they lack skills. They're underperforming because they lack PURPOSE.

In this CARE Podcast episode, I share a powerful story from my coaching days that completely transformed how I think about building high-performing teams. When my baseball team spent their day painting Little League dugouts instead of practicing, something incredible happened, and it holds the key to why purpose-driven teams outperform everyone else.

You'll discover: 

✅ Why giving back actually INCREASES team performance 

✅ The hidden cost of only focusing on wins and metrics 

✅ How service transforms individual players into unified teams 

✅ Real strategies to build purpose into your workplace culture 

✅ The CARE Framework principles that drive lasting success

This isn't just another leadership tip. This is about building something that LASTS. Something that MATTERS. Something your team will remember long after they leave.

Perfect for leaders, managers, coaches, entrepreneurs, and anyone building a team that wants to create real impact, not just hit quarterly targets.

When someone on your team says "I don't think I can do this," what you say next matters more than you think. 
In this episode, I'm sharing the 5 exact phrases I use to coach leaders and athletes through self-doubt, phrases that therapists rarely share but that actually work.
These aren't generic pep talks. These are specific, strategic responses that help people move THROUGH doubt instead of getting stuck in it. 
Whether you're leading a team, coaching individuals, or navigating your own Messy Middle, these five phrases will change how you handle moments of uncertainty.

🎯 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
✅ How to uncover the REAL reason behind someone's doubt (not just the surface issue)
✅ Why normalizing the "Messy Middle" is the most powerful thing you can say
✅ How to treat doubt as valuable data instead of a character flaw
✅ The question that gets people unstuck and taking action again
✅ Why "I believe in you" isn't enough (and what to say instead)

💼 PERFECT FOR:

• Managers coaching through performance slumps
  
  
• Entrepreneurs leading through uncertainty
  
  
• Anyone who wants to support others through self-doubt

Emotional intelligence isn’t a “soft skill” — it’s the leadership skill of 2025.

As Daniel Goleman put it:
 “Emotional intelligence is the sine qua non of leadership.”

In this week’s episode of The CARE Podcast, I break down why EQ matters now more than ever — especially as so many of our interactions are digital.

A manager told me recently:
 "I used to think my team needed more instructions. Turns out, they needed more connection."
One weekly question — “How’s your energy this week?” — changed everything.

Here are 3 ways leaders can build emotional intelligence today:

1️⃣ Name what you’re feeling.
Calm creates clarity.

2️⃣ Ask one caring question a day.
Connection beats control.

3️⃣ Use emotional labeling.
"It sounds like you’re frustrated — tell me more."

And through the lens of CARE:
Character owns emotions.
Attitude of Gratitude notices people.
Respect listens.
Enthusiasm grows when people feel seen.

🎙️ New episode is live now.
If you want your team to trust you more — start with understanding them better.

👇 What’s one EQ habit you’ve seen make a real difference in leadership?

 In this episode of The CARE Podcast, Coach Bob Herb dives into micro-leadership, the daily, small habits that build trust, character, and influence far more than grand gestures. 

Discover how quick gratitude check-ins, one-sentence clarity resets, and end-of-day reflection questions can shift your leadership for good. Learn how tiny, consistent actions align with the CARE framework: character, gratitude, responsibility, and enthusiastic engagement, to make big impact over time. 

Whether you're coaching a team, leading in business, or mentoring young people, this episode gives you the practical tools to lead through presence. 

In this episode of The CARE Podcast, Coach Bob Herb dives deep into one of the most powerful truths in sports and life: Champions aren’t built on the easy days — they’re built in the breaking points.

From marathon runners hitting the wall, to athletes fighting fatigue in the fourth quarter, to entrepreneurs battling self-doubt and parents facing sleepless nights — the real growth happens when you want to quit but choose to continue.

Discover how to:

• Push through when motivation runs out
• Train your mind to choose discipline over feelings
• Build resilience and mental toughness under pressure
• Turn your “breaking points” into breakthrough moments

💡 Remember: Feeling like quitting doesn’t make you weak — choosing not to quit makes you a champion.
