Leadership lessons from world-renowned athletes, like what it really means to be tenacious. And how to leverage mentors and not rest on your laurels.

We got to interview a professional interviewer, Kate Delaney, sports radio broadcaster, speaker, and author of most recently Deal Your Own Destiny. She shared with us the challenges she overcame in sports radio and how to find (and embrace) your wow.

Whether you’re an experienced leader in a new leadership role or brand new to leading others, you may be feeling a little uncertain.

 

The wrong way to go into a new leadership role is not to listen at all and change everything all of a sudden.

 

The right way...? It’s nuanced, but you can do it.

 

That’s why we sat down with Naphtali Hoff about his transition from education leadership to leadership coaching--to hear the lessons from his book, Becoming the New Boss, that he wishes he had when he was a new leader.

 

“The challenges to a large degree are universal,” Naphtali said. “The idea of understanding what you're getting into and building relationships is frankly what leadership is all about.”

Being a captain in the United States Army Reserve prepares you more than you might think to become Miss USA.

Today we’re joined by Deshauna Barber, the first Miss USA currently to serve in the United States military, who will give us a preview of some of her wisdom for the Leadercast Women event on October 18th in Atlanta.

“It was two sides of Deshauna. You have Captain Deshauna Barber, and then you have Miss USA Deshauna Barber. So it's good to show that women are diverse, and we have so many elements to us,” Deshauna said.

In the U.S., about 70% of people are overweight, and about 40% are obese.

Over the last 30 years, there’s been a threefold increase in overweight children.

This isn’t healthy for us, our families, or our teams. In this episode of the Leadercast podcast, David Nico, a peak performance strategist, keynote speaker, certified coach, and author of Diet Diagnosis, will explain how health optimization can positively influence work culture.

“A poor diet, the drug culture--I want to emphasize--this is not normal,” David said.

Leaders don’t live on islands.

They grow best in communities of leaders who invest in them.

Susan Packard, the cofounder of Scripps Network Interactive (and speaker at our upcoming Leadercast Women event in October), attributes her success to examples she could follow, tools she could use, and people she could inspire.

She isn’t an interior designer or a gardener, but was instrumental in establishing HGTV.

She isn’t a financial guru, but was the backbone of the growth of CNBC.

For Susan, it wasn’t about what organization she was leading, but the people she could lead.

“You get a team of people together that can help you to make something successful,” she said.
