  • How to Share Your Leadership Story and Leave a Legacy with Shelley Goldstein

    How to Share Your Leadership Story and Leave a Legacy with Shelley Goldstein
    Sep 10 2025
    The epitome of leadership is the ability to share your leadership story and leave a legacy. I discuss how to do that with my guest, Shelley Goldstein. Shelley Goldstein is a leadership development coach specializing in communications affectionately known by clients as "The Coach Whisperer". The moniker stems from her intuitive ability to pinpoint untapped potential in leaders and cultivate it into speaking mastery with remarkable ease and speed. As the architect of Remarkable Speaking, Shelley has created a proprietary framework that has evolved into a global leadership development platform. Rooted in 30-plus years of experience in leadership, entrepreneurship, marketing, and design, her expertise allows her to creatively integrate time-saving drills, persuasive storytelling, and behavioral psychology, driving significant real-world impact. Your Leadership Story Your leadership story begins with the origins of why and how we do things. It can go back to your youth when you’re joining a music program or getting involved in sports. It's a study of behaviors involved with those activities. It's those stories that build one on top of the other that become your legacy, who you are today, and why you lead the way you do when situations call or leadership. Shelley’s Leadership Story: Back to the Beginning Shelley says her story goes back to when she was eight or nine years old and her and a group her friends put together a neighborhood newspaper. The three of them were about the same age. They included hosted a beauty pageant and had articles and recipes that they got from their neighbors. Being able to organize that at such a young age and publish it month after month had a profound impact on leadership in Shelley’s adult life. Looking back, she learned a lot about leadership skills and taking the initiative at a very young age. Some of the things she carries forward with her today is the idea of sharing that responsibility and delegating to other people. Whether she was aware of it or not, it just naturally happened. And Shelley believes that's what helps her be a better leader today; that sharing of ideas and giving people autonomy to create some of the most innovative, creative ideas of their childhoods. Leadership Showing Up Shelley remembers her earlier career as a costume designer. She had the responsibility of creating a look, making sure the costumes could be perceived from the audience. That meant meaning when that curtain goes up, she can't be up there with the assistants hemming and sewing. It was showtime. Shelley believes that whole idea of “it's showtime” was an early leadership development experience in her adult life. She realized that she can't do everything. She had to prioritize and realized you can’t sweat the small stuff. To lead through that and make sure her team understood that the work that they were doing as individuals contributed to their combined success; and that bigger vision of what things need to happen. The Beginning of Leadership in Your Adult Life It's so hard to say where it actually begins. If you have an idea, let's start with the incubating. You have a great idea. How you strategize that, how you move forward with that, that's an innate leadership skill. I'm going to have a marketing strategy. I'm going to have a sales strategy. I'm going to develop my brand this way. Those are all leadership skills because you're making important decisions. Those stories of how you eventually do that, that becomes the legacy. That becomes your competitive advantage and unique story to only you. The stories are so important because that's where the money flows. Money is how people respond to the stories. That's what people buy into. That's the journey. The Structure of a Great Leadership Story A great leadership story is the journey, the mistakes, the decisions you made when you were building your business. You know what? I'm going to go with my marketing strategy and h...

  • How to Create and Embrace Your Leadership Promise with Jason Hewlett

    How to Create and Embrace Your Leadership Promise with Jason Hewlett
    Sep 3 2025
    Creating and embracing your leadership promise can change your life and your business as an entrepreneur. You just need a strategy for creating it and then maintaining it over time. I discuss how to do that in this episode with my guest, Jason Hewlett. Jason has delivered thousands of presentations around the world; performed in every major casino in Las Vegas; inspired the Troops in wartime Afghanistan; and authored “The Promise to The One”. He utilizes entertainment, musical impressions and comedy to teach leaders how to capture their unique Leadership Promise and Signature Moves. In the Beginning There was Leadership Teaching about creating and embracing your leadership promise has taken Jason years to create the language around what your leadership promise is. He’s been teaching it subliminally, he believes, for decades. He now believes your leadership promise is to identify, clarify, and magnify the signature moves of the people you lead. Jason wrote a book called “Signature Moves” years ago. He’s also written a book called “The Promise to the One”, which is a promise to yourself. That all comes together with that language to help people say, “Can I help identify the talents and the gifts of the people I lead? Can I help them clarify that that's something they need to do every day in their work? And can I help them magnify it and all that we do together?” As entrepreneurs, especially for solo entrepreneurs like Jason for the past 25 years, hiring independent contractors, bringing people in and getting rid of them as people come and go brings with it a lot of responsibility. It's interesting to see how often entrepreneurs get stuck in the minutia of doing their everyday work. You could probably spend 12 hours working on a broken printer, and not doing your signature moves, your greatness. That’s not time well spent. Instead, you could just hire somebody who could do it in about 10 minutes and fix it for you. Yes, you spend a little extra money, but you get into the things that you do best that way. Jason truly believes your leadership promise is not only for yourself to identify, clarify, magnify your signature moves, but also to help others to identify and clarify and magnify theirs. He calls that the ICM process (Identify, Clarify, Magnify). The Leadership Promise Showing Up in Jason’s Life Jason recalls it probably appeared back in high school; he was the student body President of his high school. He says perhaps it came from seeing people on their student body council that didn’t follow through with the things they promised they would do. And then it all fell on him as the President. Jason realized he was the last one in line because leaders eat last, as Simon Sinek says. He remembers that he would always have to be the one that picked up the slack. And so, the leadership promise came down to that. It came from examining: Who is keeping their commitments and who's not? He told me “What's fun to think about is that it goes all the way back to the school days all the way into adulthood and now into the leadership of not only leading my own company, but I lead several organizations and yeah, when it comes down to that it's about who makes a promise and keeps it.” The Start of the Leadership Promise Journey for Entrepreneurs Jason believes it comes down to your own personal accountability for the things you'll do for yourself. That’s why he wrote the book, “The Promise to the One”, which is a promise to yourself. You could keep a promise to your audience, to your customers, to your employees, to the independent contractors. But if you are waking up and not keeping those promises that you made to yourself, then it's going to trickle down eventually, and you're going to drop the ball. Whether it's creating a morning routine, the Hal Elrod “Morning Miracle” stuff, or if we're talking about even the Gay Hendricks and “The Big Leap”, how do we get to that place of doing our greatness in ou...

  • How to Discover Your Emotional Source Code and Get Out of Your Own Way with Dov Baron

    How to Discover Your Emotional Source Code and Get Out of Your Own Way with Dov Baron
    Aug 27 2025
    We all have an “Emotional Source Code” that is set when we were children. It’s what drives us and is why we do everything we do. What if that code isn’t working to your advantage? You can change it! In this episode I discuss how to do that with my guest, Dov Baron. For over 30 years, Dov Baron has been empowering inquisitive leaders and influential figures worldwide to explore their own “Emotional Source Code” and their organizations “Emotional Source Code” to discover how to generate Fierce Loyalty. He is the creator and host of The Dov Baron Show podcasts (previously known as Leadership and Loyalty), named the #1 podcast for Fortune 500 Executives by Apple podcasts. The Dov Baron Show has featured hundreds of hours of interviews with top leaders, entrepreneurs, theologians, military intelligence officers, and artists. What is Your “Emotional Source Code”? Your Emotional Source Code is a thesis that has come out of a blend of quantum physics, neuroscience and psychology, organizational psychology and subjective personal psychology. It's profoundly insightful into what it is that drives us. Very often you'll meet somebody, and they'll say, “I really have this bad behavior, and I want to change it.” You might say, “I can help you with that.” Great. And then you help them, they change their behavior, and it doesn't stick. They wonder “Why didn't it stick?” Maybe the problem is that they have a belief system or a value system that's holding that behavior in place. That’s when they realize they have to do some real work on their behaviors and to my beliefs. Then they do some belief restructuring. They get happy because the belief's better now, and as a result, the behavior's gone away. And then a year later, they’re back in the same boat. Why? Why does it not change? Because you have an emotional source code. That’s what Dov calls your Emotional DNA. Your DNA is not dominant. It's just the most... obvious place to start. What Dov means by that is you may have a predetermination for certain situations from something in your DNA. It doesn't mean they’re going to happen. It just means it’s there in your Emotional DNA. It's waiting to kick in. That's the same with your emotional DNA being in your Emotional Source Code. Going Back to the Beginning Your Emotional Source Code starts at the base level at the foundation of it, which is the origin of your Emotional Source Code itself. That’s the environment and the circumstance you grew up in. Now, you might be thinking “Oh, my God, we're going to spend 20 years on a couch talking to a therapist.” No, it doesn’t have to be like that. Consider your parents, especially if you have siblings. Not only have your parents changed and matured over the years, but as parents, they as parents respond differently to their firstborn than they do to their thirdborn. On top of that, there's also an economic situation. There's a pretty good chance your parents were in better financial shape by the time they had their third kid than they were when they had their first child. They'd matured in age, hopefully emotionally. Their relationship had also matured, again, hopefully to make it better. And there was an economic change also. That means you and your siblings didn't have the same parents. In fact, none of you did. You all had different parents. And so, as a result, you built your Emotional Source Code based on the environment you were in at a moment in time. Dov was born into abject poverty with violence, crime, abuse, addiction all around him. That told him how to survive. He remembers thinking, “If I'm going to make it through this, I've got to work out certain things about how to be.” He would look at the world and think that's dangerous, that's safe. We all do it. It's not because of his background. You did it even if you had a wonderful childhood. You still did it because your primary objective is to survive. Finding Meaning in Your Life
