2/4/2026 I STAND CORRECTED

EPISODE 1735

One of the hardest things to do in leadership is to admit fault. Acknowledging mistakes, errors, bad judgment leading to wrong decisions seems like weakness and defeat. A leader must be strong. Others must be willing to accept responsibility for negative outcomes. Leaders need to maintain their air of superiority.

Your coming competition is an arrogant machine which most people trust at face value. Most people assuming AI has no opinion or bias, has access to all the data it needs and is immune to bad choices. As a leader, I believe your greatest advantage in the coming decade is the value of your humanity.

Invest your wealth, your energy and your soul into becoming a better human for everyone’s sake.

2/3/2026 THE HARDEST LEADER TO COACH BRUSHES MY TEETH

EPISODE 1734

Coaching a team of people can be difficult. It’s more difficult to coach a team of people when the leader of that team is not coachable. Perhaps they have it all figured out. Perhaps they are unwilling to be lead by new ideas, new feelings, new beliefs. Perhaps they have blind spots, blame shifting and a bad attitude as common practice in their daily execution.

When leading and when coaching leaders we must be willing to accept responsibility and allow our own awareness to be challenged and elevated. Without honest, heartfelt, sometimes painful personal evaluation leaders remain stuck. One of the hardest and yet most powerful questions to consider is this: What could I have done differently before we got here?

2/2/2026 WHEN LEADERS GET IN OVER THEIR HEAD

EPISODE 1733

Too often leaders fail because they do not realize they are drifting into the deep end. Generally speaking these are leaders young in age. However, it can happen to leaders new to an industry, a role or a process. Changes in policies internally or laws externally can become a veritable quagmire.

All the money expended, team members deployed and strategies employed are not enough. The solution still requires something of the leader themselves.

On occasion all the effort one can muster, all the learning one can pursue, all the attention one can give to a problem just won’t satisfy the hounds of change.

Something personal, something sacrificial, something not yet written in the text books must be considered. It’s time to think outside the box and do the unimaginable. You’re gonna need thinking time for this and a brainstorm collaboration off the regular path.

1/30/26 A GREAT COACH KNOWS HOW TO DISCOVER AND DISPEL DISTRACTIONS

EPISODE 1732

“Delays, detours and disappointments become distractions from our vision of the future, robbing us of hope, passions and ambition. A great coach knows how to discover these distractions and plan a better strategy to get you motivated you with a balance of mercy and momentum. Let me say that another way - tell better stories!” J Loren Norris

1/28/26 LOSS OF MOMENTUM CAN BE HEARTBREAKING

EPISODE 1731.5

Awwww MAN! We were on a roll!

Who would have thought a few days of cold weather could derail your progress, squelch your momentum, stop your traction from moving forward. Well here I am three days out of the studio. Seems like perhaps I was on a roll, perhaps I was delusional.

I know my frustration is at a maximum, gut wrenching, heart breaking level. When this happens, leaders must dig in deeper and hold on tighter. Get a grip and hang on to your purpose and stretch your potential. If you’re still breathing, life is worth fighting for.

1/23/26 WHY WOULD A LEADER NEED A MENTOR?

EPISODE 1731

No one I know has it all figured out. Accomplished, successful, financially independent, leaders in all categories live with challenges. Some of those challenges are vocational: hiring, firing, training, and professional development.

Some of those challenges are relationships at home, relationships at work, relationships internally or even spiritually. Some of those challenges are blind spots we cannot see ourselves. While mentors and coaches have different approaches - they have the same end game: help you to be a better you.

1/22/26 LEADERS MAKE TOUGH DECISIONS EASIER - HERE’S HOW

EPISODE 1730

Split second decision are tough. Car crashes, emergencies, life and death situations, real life battlefield decisions are hard for anyone to make. Most married couple dig in like WW3 when they try to decide where to go for date night!

Decisions which can be made in advance- such as who is the designated driver? Will I have wine or water with dinner? Will I drive if I change my mind and choose the wine? Waiting until the heat of the moment makes the decisions harder.

Listen closely to this episode for some practical and philosophical advice on tough decisions.

1/21/26 MENTORSHIP IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST RESPONSIBILITIES OF A GREAT LEADER

EPISODE 1729

Like attracts like except in magnetic fields. Ironically it is the magnetism in a person born with natural abilities which allows and affords for them to become leaders even if they never planned too.

Leadership tends to fall to those who are busy pursuing something they are deeply passionate about. For some that passion is the skill, art and motivation of leadership itself. For others, they never desired to be a role model. They never longed to have others trust in them or follow their advice but their success in their own passionate pursuits created a wake of sorts.

Both of them need a mentor and need to up their skills at mentoring others.
