Calm, Courage, and Command: The Human Side of High-Stakes Leadership with Lt. General Karen Gibson (Ret.)

Épisode 158

lundi 16 février 2026 • Durée 28:17

What does leadership look like when the situation is unclear, emotions are high, and everyone is waiting for you to make the next move?

In this episode of People First!, I’m joined by Lt. General (Ret.) Karen Gibson, a leader who has guided teams through war zones, national emergencies, hurricanes, cybersecurity crises, and the aftermath of January 6 - experiences most of us hope will never appear on our calendars.

Karen is living proof that no amount of technology or process ever replaces the fundamentals: clarity, steadiness, humanity, and the courage to act before you have the full picture.

We explore:
• The moment she realized leadership is always a human endeavor
• Why timing and triage matter more than certainty
• What most leaders get wrong about communication in crisis
• The emotional toll teams experience after a major event
• The practical skills leaders can build before the next “front-page moment” hits

Her stories are gripping. Her lessons are generous. And her message is one every leader in today’s unpredictable world needs to hear.

The Seismic Shift in You: Why Connection Matters More Than Ever with Dr. Michelle K. Johnston

Épisode 156

mercredi 21 janvier 2026 • Durée 31:07

In this People First! episode, I sit down with my dear friend and fellow connection-evangelist Dr. Michelle K. Johnston — top executive coach, business professor, bestselling author, and now the voice behind The Seismic Shift in You.

We dig into the uncomfortable truth:
We’re more digitally connected than at any time in human history…
…and yet more lonely, isolated, anxious, and burnt out than ever before.

Michelle calls it a “crisis of disconnection” — one backed by global research, neuroscience, and the devastating health data shared by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.

In this episode we explore:

Why connection is a biological need — as essential as food and water
How hybrid work, AI, and phone addiction are accelerating a global loneliness epidemic
The seven seismic shifts leaders must make — starting with shifting from what to who
Why productivity without connection creates emptiness (Michelle’s newest mic-drop quote)
How the calendar has become the biggest predictor of well-being
The difference between communication and true connection
Why leaders must intentionally design moments — not just meetings
The wake-up call Michelle experienced when her daughter came home and said, “Mom, I haven’t seen you.”

If you’re feeling stretched thin, disconnected, or suspicious that the “new normal” doesn’t feel normal at all… this episode will give you grounding and a path forward.

The Truth About Employee Wellbeing: Why Engagement Failed — and What Leaders Must Do Instead with Mark C. Crowley

Épisode 155

lundi 5 janvier 2026 • Durée 31:57

In this People First! conversation, I sit down with Mark C. Crowley — visionary leader, bestselling author, and longtime advocate for human-centered leadership — to unpack the big idea behind his new book, The Power of Employee Wellbeing. Mark spent 25+ years leading in financial services, disproving the myth that performance comes from pressure, control, and fear. His data-backed approach shows the opposite: people thrive when leaders care about them as human beings, not just producers. And wellbeing — not engagement — is the real lever. His personal story sets the stage: early trauma, an unexpected mentor who offered belonging, and a career built on giving others the support he never had .

In this episode, he breaks down why wellbeing drives performance, why engagement surveys failed, and what leaders must do now.

⭐ What we cover:

The emotional roots of human motivation — and why “thinking” has far less to do with performance than we assume
Why engagement scores didn’t budge for a decade, despite billions spent on them
The simple, actionable wellbeing questions that uncover what actually improves performance
The #1 driver of wellbeing — belonging — and why people quit teams, not companies
How fear shuts down trust, innovation, and contribution
What leaders get wrong about caring (“love your people” is not soft — it’s science)
How to ask for honest feedback when your employees want to tell you you’re great (even when you aren’t)
Why every leader must answer the question: Do your people feel they matter here?

Mark’s message is blunt but hopeful: wellbeing is not a perk — it’s a performance strategy.
And you don’t need a company-wide initiative to start changing outcomes. You can start today.

Permission To Be You: Discover Your Passion, Embrace Your Purpose, And The Life You're Meant To Live With Alaina Love

Épisode 153

lundi 10 novembre 2025 • Durée 29:23

This week, Morag welcomes back Alaina Love—CEO of Purpose Linked Consulting, co-author of The Purpose Linked Organization, and author of the inspiring new book Permission to Be You. A former scientist and global HR executive turned leadership coach, Alaina blends psychology, purpose research, and personal storytelling to guide leaders and individuals toward lives of alignment, meaning, and authenticity.

In this conversation, Alaina opens up about the decade-long journey of writing her new book, the courage it took to tell deeply personal stories, and the practical framework she developed—the Ten Passion Archetypes—that helps us understand what truly drives us.

🔑 4 Key Takeaways You Won’t Want to Miss:

02:30 — Permission Starts with You
After ten years and a few false starts, Alaina realized she needed to stop writing the book others expected—and instead write the one she was meant to create. The result? A deeply personal and universal guide to living a flourishing life.

06:00 — Purpose Is Personal, Not Prescribed
Building on her earlier work The Purpose Linked Organization, Alaina turns inward—helping readers discover their unique passions and how they can navigate life’s pivotal moments with greater self-understanding and resilience.

14:00 — Discovering Your Passion Archetypes
From the Creator and Connector to the Healer, Transformer, and Builder, Alaina introduces ten archetypes that shape our motivations and strengths. Understanding your top three, she says, helps you find your flow—and your right environment for thriving.

19:00 — Nothing to Fix, Only to Embrace
Unlike many personality tools, Alaina’s model isn’t about deficits—it’s about self-acceptance. “Your passions are your passions,” she says. “They’re your natural colors. You don’t need to fix who you are—just understand and honor it.”

The Science of Leadership: Nine Research-Backed Ways to Expand Your Leadership Impact with Margaret Moore, MBA & Jeffrey Hull, PhD

Épisode 152

lundi 27 octobre 2025 • Durée 34:27

In this special two-for-one episode, Morag welcomes back Dr. Jeffrey Hull—Executive Director at the Institute of Coaching, Harvard Medical School Affiliate—and leadership scientist and coach Margaret Moore, co-founder of the Institute of Coaching and CEO of Wellcoaches Corporation. Together, they unpack their new book, The Science of Leadership: Nine Ways to Expand Your Impact, a groundbreaking synthesis of 50 years of research distilled into nine evidence-based capacities every leader can grow.

Blending neuroscience, behavioral science, and coaching wisdom, Jeffrey and Margaret reveal how to lead consciously, connect deeply, and transform not only your team but yourself.

🔑 4 Key Takeaways You Won’t Want to Miss:

05:30 — Why Nine? The Map of Modern Leadership
After analyzing over 15,000 research papers, Jeffrey and Margaret identified nine interconnected capacities—from consciousness and authenticity to compassion and transformation—that together form a holistic framework for lifelong leadership growth.

10:45 — The Roots of Leadership: Self Before System
Leadership starts within. The first three capacities—Conscious, Authentic, and Agile Leadership—build the foundation for everything else by developing awareness, aligning values, and cultivating flexibility in thought, emotion, and action.

14:30 — From Self to Others: Relational, Positive & Compassionate Leadership
Great leaders create connection and safety. Jeffrey and Margaret explore how empathy evolves into compassion—an active care for others and the systems they inhabit—and why true influence begins with resonance, not control.

18:40 — The Power of Shared, Servant, and Transformational Leadership
The final three capacities challenge hierarchy and ego. Sharing leadership, serving others, and pursuing transformation require humility, courage, and an ever-evolving mindset. As Margaret says, “Transformation isn’t finding yourself—it’s expanding yourself.”

Manage Yourself to Lead Others: Why Self-Awareness is the Foundation of Great Leadership with Magaret C. Andrews

Épisode 151

lundi 6 octobre 2025 • Durée 28:31

This week, Morag sits down with Margaret Andrews—executive educator, Harvard instructor, founder of The MYLO Center, and author of Manage Yourself to Lead Others. Drawing from her years teaching leadership and working with organizations like Amazon, Wayfair, Walmart, and the United Nations, Margaret offers powerful lessons on self-awareness, trust, and emotional intelligence as the true cornerstones of effective leadership.

With personal candor, Margaret shares how one difficult piece of feedback became the catalyst for her research, her Harvard course, and ultimately her book—reminding us that the best leaders are always managing themselves first.

🔑 4 Key Takeaways You Won’t Want to Miss:

03:00 — Trust Is Built in Nanoseconds
Trust isn’t earned in years—it’s built (and broken) in moments. Margaret explains why “do what you say, say what you do” remains the ultimate leadership rule.

07:00 — Self-Awareness Starts with Honesty
A painful but pivotal career moment taught Margaret that understanding herself was the first step to leading others. Awareness of how we impact people—and curiosity about how they experience us—is where leadership transformation begins.

13:00 — Aggressive Self-Rescue: Bouncing Back from Setbacks
Borrowing from white-water rafting safety lessons, Margaret shares her philosophy of “aggressive self-rescue” for career challenges: pause, process, then act intentionally.

16:00 — Emotions Aren’t Soft—They’re Strategic
Emotional intelligence, or “relationship skills,” isn’t optional. Margaret emphasizes that reading the room, owning your emotional state, and recognizing others’ cues are what distinguish leaders people actually want to follow.

💡 This Episode Is for:
Emerging and experienced leaders ready to deepen self-awareness, build trust faster, recover from career missteps, and lead with humanity in hybrid workplaces.

Hiring For Skills Alone Isn't Enough: How to Humanize Hiring (and get it right) in a Tech-Driven World with David S. Cohen

Épisode 150

mardi 23 septembre 2025 • Durée 30:54

We’re excited to welcome back David Cohen—globally recognized thought leader, executive coach, and author of Selecting the Best: Fostering a Workforce Driven by Values for Lasting Success. With over 30 years of experience advising leaders and organizations on five continents, David brings a clear message: skills may get you hired, but values determine whether you (and your organization) thrive.

From his early consulting days to his latest book, David explains why authentic values alignment—not just technical expertise—is the key to building resilient, high-performing teams.

🔑 4 Key Takeaways You Won’t Want to Miss:

03:00 — Relationships Drive Everything
David shares how a single relationship—built over 30 years ago—opened doors, sustained his career, and underscores why lasting success is built on trust, respect, and connection.

08:00 — Hire for Values, Not Just Skills
Knowledge and skills are teachable, but values-driven behavior determines whether someone will fit, flourish, and stay. Hiring without considering values is one of the fastest paths to disengagement and turnover.

12:00 — The Integrity Trap
Why “integrity” isn’t really a value—it’s the sum total of living your values. When organizations plaster it on walls but don’t live it, cynicism and distrust follow.

17:00 — How to Ask Better Interview Questions
David explains why ambiguous, behavioral questions (“Tell me about a time…”) reveal far more than canned Q&A—and how silence can be a powerful tool in uncovering authentic stories.

💡 This Episode Is for:

Leaders, recruiters, HR professionals, and job seekers who want to understand how values shape hiring, retention, and long-term success.

The Human Operating System: How to Reclaim Connection, Overcome Self-Sabotage, and Lead with Courage with Dr. Rosie Ward

Épisode 149

lundi 8 septembre 2025 • Durée 30:46

This week, Morag is joined by Dr. Rosie Ward—CEO of Salveo Partners, award-winning author and podcast host, and fierce advocate for rehumanizing workplaces. Rosie’s new book, Future Proofing Leadership: Navigating Change and Disruption to Thrive in an Uncertain World, explores how to upgrade our “faulty programs,” break free from self-protective patterns, and lead with courage and connection.

With humor, candor, and science-backed insights, Rosie reveals why embracing our messy humanity is the key to thriving in times of disruption.

🔑 4 Key Takeaways You Won’t Want to Miss:

04:00 — We’re Wired for Connection, Yet More Disconnected Than Ever

Despite being biologically hardwired for relationships, technology, faulty programming, and disruption have left us lonelier than ever. Rosie explains why feeling seen and heard is as essential as food and water.

10:30 — Faulty Programs That Hold Us Back

From the Overachiever to the Martyr, Perfectionist, People Pleaser, and more—Rosie unpacks the seven faulty programs that sabotage us and how to start upgrading them.

18:00 — Inner Game vs. Outer Game

Why training alone doesn’t stick unless we first update our “inner operating system.” Self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and narrative rewiring are the foundations for lasting leadership change.

24:00 — The 3x3x3 Challenge to Build Connection

A simple daily practice: take three minutes to reach out to three people for three months. This small act of showing up for others strengthens relationships and boosts wellbeing.

💡 This Episode Is for:

Leaders, change agents, and anyone tired of hustling and “doing it all” who wants to show up authentically, break free of head trash, and rehumanize work and life.
