As humans, it is part of our natural evolution to be curious. It’s that curiosity that helps us grow up, learn, and develop. As we get older and wiser through our positive as well as negative experiences, we can become and build our knowledge, sometimes we get comfortable in what we know. It’s a safe place to be. As leaders, there’s danger in that – if we stop asking questions we stop learning, stop growing. Those behaviors of protecting our mastery of knowledge can be seen as protecting our ego. Listen in as Dewey, Rae, & Bryana chat about ego - what it is, how it's different from self-confidence, and how to let some of it go to enhance your ability to lead more effectively.

What are you currently doing that makes others want to follow you? Traditionally leaders relied on the exercise of power to get people 'in-line' while they sit atop the organizational pyramid. It wasn't effective then, and it certainly isn't effective now. To get the best from people and encourage empowerment and engagement, great leaders start with a service-minded approach. Join Rae and Bryana as they break-down what servant leadership is and the impact turning that pyramid upside down can truly have on an organization, it's people, and it's customers.

If someone asked you to describe "hope," what would you say? More importantly, do you have it? In a disturbing poll by APM Research Lab earlier this year, one in four Americans explicitly said, "nothing made them hopeful." Fear and worry are damaging lives each day. In this episode, the MTI team breaks down what hope is and how you can reclaim it.
