Stories That Shape Great Leaders

💡 Welcome to Leadership Unlocked.

We’re honored to have you join us on the show. This isn’t just another leadership podcast—it’s a space for authentic, transformational conversations between leaders who have been shaped by their experiences.

As your host, I won’t just be asking questions—I’ll be reflecting alongside you. Together, we’ll unpack the journey, the pivotal moments, and the tools that have defined your leadership path.

🔎 What Makes This Podcast Different?

Leadership Unlocked is built around a simple but powerful idea:

Leadership isn’t taught. It’s unlocked—through challenge, reflection, and intentional growth.

This show is a dialogue between two seasoned leaders—not a script to follow. It’s designed to feel like a fireside conversation with depth, curiosity, and shared wisdom. Our audience is made up of senior executives, founders, and purpose-driven professionals who are looking for real insight, not platitudes.

🧭 A Guide, Not a Script

The following flow is here to support, not constrain. We’ll follow the energy of the moment and stay open to where your story leads.

1. Welcome & Warm-Up

A brief intro and check-in to create space for a relaxed, meaningful exchange.

Opening question:

What’s one leadership principle or tool you consistently rely on—especially in challenging moments?

2. Your Path to Leadership

We’ll explore how your leadership identity evolved—not just through roles, but through mindset shifts, risks, and values.

• What shaped your leadership beliefs?
• Were there moments you began to lead differently—more intentionally?

3. The Crucible Moments

Every great leader has faced moments that tested them—decisions that could have gone either way, unexpected pivots, or quiet revelations that changed everything.

• What were the defining moments that shaped your leadership DNA?
• How did those experiences change you? What did you learn about yourself?

4. What Was Unlocked

From those experiences, what leadership insight or mindset did you earn?

• What tool or approach emerged?
• How do you apply it today?
• What do you wish more leaders understood about navigating that kind of moment?

5. Rapid Reflections

These questions are designed to spark some creative insights—and a few surprises.

• A book every leader should read?
• Best advice you’ve received?
• A failure you’re grateful for?
• A piece of advice you ignored—and it worked out?
• If you could give three leadership “gifts” to others, what would they be?

6. Final Takeaways

We’ll close with space for final thoughts and a call to action.

• What’s one idea you hope stays with our listeners?
• Where can people connect with you or your work? </aside>

🔓 How to Prepare

✨ This is a conversation, not a performance. Show up as yourself—experienced, imperfect, evolving. That’s where the real value lives.

Here are a few helpful prep tips:

• Reflect on your defining moment. What challenged or reshaped how you lead?
• Think about the tool it revealed. What would you offer to someone navigating something similar?
• Set up your space:
  • Quiet room
  • Good mic (if available)
  • Wired headphones preferred
  • Strong internet
  • Clear lighting & clean background (if on video)

🎧 And don’t stress the pauses—we’ll clean everything up in post.

📣 After the Episode

We’d love for you to spread the word. Your story might be exactly what another leader needs to hear right now.
