"We started talking about accountability — not just thinking about our own accountability, but also how we're going to have team accountability and organizational accountability, and move things forward in that direction." — Jeremy King, Deputy Director for Employee Development, City of Tempe

Jeremy walked away from our recent training with a clear takeaway: real growth happens when you stop looking only inward and start focusing forward — as a team, not just as an individual. For Jeremy, that meant giving others the opportunity to lead and building accountability across his entire team.

That's the kind of impact we hope every session creates. 💬

"Know your people." 🤝

​AI can streamline processes, but true employee development comes down to coaching, mentorship, and building genuine personal relationships. The best leaders learn how to leverage AI as a tool while keeping their main focus right where it belongs: on their team.

What's the greatest value of our training? We asked, and our participants delivered.

From renewed energy around teamwork, to building lasting trust with their teams, to realizing they're not alone in the challenges they face as leaders — these are the moments that remind us why we love this work.

Swipe through to hear directly from the leaders we've had the privilege to work with.

Talk to yourself more than you listen to yourself.

That's the mindset behind finding your core values. It's easy to borrow values from people you admire — family, mentors, faith, organizations you respect. But the real work is filtering all of that down and asking yourself: yeah, but what are mine?

Using what you've seen and learned as a resource, then developing your own values from it — that's how you end up with something that's actually authentic to you.

What a night! 🎉

Last night, the more to Life than money® podcast team gathered at Caffe Boa to celebrate wrapping up Season 1 and officially launching Season 2. It was a great reminder of why we do this — the people, the conversations, and the community that's grown around the podcast.

Thank you to everyone who has listened, shared, and supported this journey. Season 2 is here, and we can't wait for what's next!

What's the real key to leading through change?

It's not the plan. It's not the process. It's getting superb at one thing — monitoring and managing the spirit of your team.

When change is anticipated, you have the chance to prepare people for it. That preparation is what keeps morale strong and energy optimistic, even when everyone knows a lot of hard work is ahead.

Leaders who master this don't just manage change — they carry their team through it.

What if the most powerful thing a leader can say isn't "I'm right" but "I could have done that differently"?

What is courageous vulnerability? The willingness to tell your team when you didn't bring your best, and the trust that builds when you do.

Owning a rough day. Committing to show up better next time. That's leadership.

How many of you would appreciate a leader like that?

Most leaders know engagement matters. Few realize how much of it comes down to friendship.

Gallup's research is clear: employees with a best friend at work are 7X more likely to be engaged, and those who strongly agree they have one are more than 2X as likely to be engaged as those who don't. Yet only 2 in 10 U.S. employees say they have a best friend at work.

That gap isn't an accident — it's a leadership opportunity. Employees need permission from their leaders before real friendships take root on the job. The best teams don't leave that to chance.

We dug into the full research: the benefits, the pitfalls, and exactly how leaders can facilitate it outlined in our latest blog. Link below 👇

"I love how genuine JW is when he provides a training session."

That's Tameka Hartman, People Strategies Manager for the Town of Gilbert, on what stuck with her most from our Leading Strengths-Based Environments training. Great stories. Simple, practical takeaways she could implement immediately. And a session that left her ready to go build trust and confidence with her own team.

That's the goal, every time. Not just a training you sit through — one you walk away using.

🎥 Hear Tameka's full takeaway in the video above.
