| Your Team Is a Mirror, Here’s What Your Leadership Is Showing | Tammy Fitzpatrick, PhD | 29 Jan 2026 | 00:37:19 | |
Your team is a mirror, whether you want it to be or not, they’re reflecting your leadership back to you every single day. In this episode of Impact Effect, I sit down with leadership expert and organizational psychologist Tammy Fitzpatrick, PhD to talk about what your team’s behavior is really telling you. We get into why culture is never created by slogans, why integrity shows up in the small moments, and how leaders often become blind to the patterns they’re modeling. If I’m being honest, this one hit me too. It’s not about fixing your team, it’s about taking a look in the mirror first and owning what you see. Topics we dive into: 1. Why your team’s behavior is a direct reflection of your leadership 2. How modeling, not messaging, sets the real standard inside a company 3. The hidden ways leaders create the problems they complain about 4. Why fixing systems starts with fixing how you show up 5. How clarity and focus change what actually moves the business This episode is out now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.

Moments That Matter. Build core memories while you build your business. In this Impact Effect Podcast episode, host Jim Morris sits down with entrepreneur and family-first leader Brad Draper to talk about how to build your business and your life at the same time. This talk is about impact, not just income. It is about the small choices that stack into core memories and a company you are proud of. What you will learn: 1. How to make every space and moment better than you found it, from your office to your home. 2. Why integration beats balance when you build your business and raise a family. 3. Simple ways to build core memories with your kids in 15 minutes, even on busy days. 4. A practical check-in script leaders use with their teams and friends, starting with one question, “Where’s your head?” 5. Three paths to deep connection that also grow your business, play together, serve together, or suffer through hard things together. 6. How to use AI as a tool to amplify your work without losing the human connection your brand needs. 7. What high performing founders do to protect family moments while they scale. Why this matters: If you only chase growth, you miss the moments that matter. If you only chase moments, the business stalls. This episode shows how to do both.
