  • 4 Ways Leaders Get Disconnected from Change
    Dec 3 2025
    Why Do Leaders Have a Reluctance to Change When you look around today’s business landscape—with all the books, podcasts, research studies, and hard-won lessons on leadership—you’d think we’d be experiencing a golden age of healthy cultures and high-performing teams. But we’re not. And that’s exactly why this week on A New Direction, I’m bringing on John Palumbo of Bigheads Network to dive deep into The Leadership Disconnect. If you’ve ever wondered why leaders continue to resist the overwhelming evidence of what works, this conversation is going to open your eyes… and maybe make you rethink the way you lead. John has spent years studying the gap between what leaders say they want and what they actually do. He’s seen firsthand how organizations sabotage their own culture—not intentionally, but because they’re operating from outdated assumptions, fear-based habits, or ego-driven patterns. On Wednesday, we’re going to pull back the curtain on the real reasons leaders struggle to change—even when the data, the stories, and the results are staring them right in the face. And we’re going to talk about how that disconnect silently destroys morale, momentum, and innovation. But here’s the twist: John and I won’t just be exposing the problem. We’re going after the psychology behind it—the blind spots, the excuses, and the hidden beliefs that keep leaders stuck repeating yesterday’s mistakes. If you’re an entrepreneur, executive, manager, team leader, or someone who’s ever had to influence people in any direction… this will challenge you. It will provoke you. And it just might give you the breakthrough you’ve been needing in your own leadership. When you understand the leadership disconnect, you can become the leader people want to follow—not the one they resist. Tune in, take notes, and prepare for a shift. Check out John by clicking here.

  • The 1 Number That Changes Everything
    Nov 26 2025
    Focus on the Right Number and You Will Watch Your Business Success! What if I told you there’s a better way to succeed than chasing goals you never hit? This week on A New Direction, I’m sitting down with Wall Street Journal and USA Today Best-Selling Author Lee Benson, and we’re diving into his powerful book Your Most Important Number. Lee’s going to show us why traditional goal setting often falls flat—and how focusing on one transformational number can simplify your strategy, elevate your performance, and change the way you lead and live. If you’ve ever felt stuck or overloaded, this conversation will bring the clarity and direction you’ve been searching for. Lee’s developed the MIND Methodology—Most Important Number + Drivers—a framework that’s helping organizations around the world cut the clutter and dial in on what really matters. We’ll dig into how you can find your most important number, align your people around it, and track progress in a way that builds confidence and momentum. It’s practical. It’s proven. And you’ll be able to use it the second the show ends. But you know me—I’m always about the human side. And that’s what makes Lee’s approach so powerful. This isn’t just about data or performance metrics. It’s about people, purpose, unity, and ownership. When you focus on the right number, you create a culture where everyone knows what winning looks like—and how to move the needle together. That’s when progress becomes a habit instead of a hope. This episode will show you The 1 Number That Changes Everything. Because once you know your most important number, you stop chasing random goals… and start achieving what truly matters. Lee Benson's book, "Your Most Important Number" is a brilliantly, logical, practical guide to helping any business of any size and any leader no matter the level achieve more as entire company and individually. So often we read or hear people talk about goal setting. "We have to set goals!" They will shout. And experts from all different parts of the business world will say "set goals" if you want to achieve more success. Well, that sounds good in theory, but the fact is this, no matter how SMART you make them it's not working! Your company is not getting all that much better if it all because you do them, and here is the fact: Setting goals are not motivating anyone! There has got to be another way! And there is! Lee Benson's MIND (Most Important Number and Drivers). Wow! Talk about eye opening. When leadership comes to the conclusion of what their MIN (Most Important Number) is, and then each area of the business determine what their MIN is that is connected to the overall MIN, and then each person knows what they need to deliver in terms of behavior to add value to the MIN. Bam! It's a huge win! The book is complete with an appendix that will start walking you through the how to...get the book...read it, absorb it, put it into practice, it has worked for so many businesses which he gives examples of it will work for your business too. By the way, he even offers freebies to get yourself started. Just go to www.etw.com/tools it's all right there. And get your copy of Your Most Important Number by clicking here!

  • 3 Communication Shifts to Make an Impact
    Nov 20 2025
    Making Your Communication a Game Changer for Your Business Get ready to shift your communication game—live on Wednesday, November 19th at 3 pm Eastern, on A New Direction, I’ll be sitting down with the remarkable Molly Tschang, co-author (with Marshall Goldsmith) of the groundbreaking new book Say It Skillfully: Speak Up. Make Your Words Matter. Win Together.. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck, unsure how to speak up, or wanting to be heard rather than overlooked—this episode is for you. Molly brings a rich background—from leading major integrations at Cisco and U.S. Filter, to founding her own firm and podcast—so she knows firsthand what it takes to turn communication from risk to strength. In the podcast we’ll dive deep into the Me-You-We framework from the book—a simple yet powerful model that helps anyone craft meaningful conversations grounded in intention, empathy, and shared reality. The book calls communication “the ultimate currency” and points out how many high-performing teams still struggle because people don’t speak up—or don’t know how to. We’ll hear how Molly encourages professionals at every level to move beyond fear (of being wrong, of not fitting in, of offending) and step into voice in a way that honors both self and others. It’s the kind of mindset reset that fits right into the micro-dose improvement and reflection style I live for here at “A New Direction.” We’ll also explore real-world stories from the book: how leaders used these skills in mergers, tough feedback conversations, multicultural teams, and even in personal life. These are not just “communication tips,” they are tools for building culture, trust, and influence. From Molly’s perspective: “Your communication is how others fundamentally experience you.” Cornell Engineering. If you’re coaching athletes, running a team, or simply want to lead with more authenticity and impact—this conversation will give you actionable communication pathways, not just ideas. Whether you’re prepping to speak in a meeting, navigating a career pivot, or simply wanting to be heard more clearly at home or work—this is your communication playbook moment. You are going to enjoy Molly’s insights to our community and help you level up your voice and your impact. Molly Tschang and Marshall Goldsmiths's book, "Say It Skillfully" is a book takes something we so over complicate and makes it easy for all of us to implement. Whether you are an employee who does feel like you have a voice. Or a leader who has unintentionally squelched the voices, this book is for you! As a coach, I work with high performers, business owners, executives, athletes—you name it. And the common denominator among all of them isn't intelligence, strategy, or even talent. It’s communication. The internal dialogue. The external courage. The ability to speak truth with clarity AND humanity. This book tackles that exact intersection with exceptional honesty and practicality. It doesn’t preach. It doesn’t guilt. It guides. What I love most is that Molly doesn't teach communication as a “technique.” She teaches the "me-you-we" frame work, and it as a mindset—one grounded in self-awareness, curiosity, and genuine connection. She shows you how to start by knowing yourself first. Then moves you to getting to know others. And finally, how we know ourselves as a team or group where everyone has a voice. This isn’t just a book you read. It is going to require self-reflection ad intention. And as I applied these tools in my own life and coaching sessions, in business conversations, I have seen change in myself and others. If you’re a leader, if you’re a teammate, if you’re in a relationship of any kind, or if you simply want to be a better human being, Say It Skillfully belongs on your "must read" list. It’s wise. It’s relevant. It’s transformational. Then don't just let it sit there. Read it. Practice it. And put it into action. A powerful, practical, human book. Molly and Marshall—thank you.
