The Resistance Solution with Becca Silver
In this episode of the Leadership Liner Notes Podcast, I am joined by Becca Silver, author of "The Resistance Solution: Why Educators Resist Change and What They Need Instead." We take a deep dive into Becca’s new book and explore what resistance is really communicating within schools and organizations. Rather than viewing resistance as defiance or negativity, Becca invites leaders to become curious about what people need in order to feel supported, understood, and ready to move forward. Our conversation also becomes an unexpected coaching session as Becca helps me reflect on my own leadership experiences, questions, and next steps. It is an honest and practical conversation about change, trust, self-awareness, and the human side of leadership. This episode is for leaders who want to move beyond simply managing resistance and begin creating the conditions where meaningful change can take root.

Small Wins with Lindsey Cannon
This episode marks the debut of Small Wins, a new series from the growing network of podcasts produced by The Gaillard Group. In this conversation, I am joined by Lindsey Cannon to explore her practical framework, Win the First 20 Days, designed to support school improvement teams as they begin the year with clarity, purpose, and momentum. Lindsey shares a solution based approach to strengthening school communities through shared vision, intentional collaboration, and meaningful experiences for students. We discuss why lasting improvement does not always begin with a massive initiative. Sometimes, it begins with a focused plan, a committed team, and a series of small wins that help people believe progress is possible. This conversation is rooted in human centered leadership, practical support, and the belief that meaningful change grows when people feel connected to the work and to one another. Small Wins is a Gaillard Group Podcast.

A Leadership Riff on Steely Dan, Excellence, and Rejection
What does excellence sound like? In this episode of Vinyl Riffs with Sean Gaillard (shared here on Leadership Liner Notes), I revisit Steely Dan's "Aja," an album often celebrated for its remarkable musicianship and meticulous craftsmanship. While some hear perfectionism, I hear something deeper: a group of extraordinary collaborators committed to creating a masterpiece together. As I reflect on a season marked by both meaningful opportunities and unexpected disappointments, "Aja" reminds me that excellence isn't about flawless performance or immediate recognition. It's about showing up, honoring your craft, trusting your collaborators, and continuing to pursue your best work even when the applause is quiet. Join me as I explore the breathtaking instrumental passage that continues to stop me in my tracks, the leadership lessons hidden within the grooves of this classic album, and why masterpieces are never created alone. Whether you're leading a school, a team, an organization, or simply navigating your own journey, "Aja" offers a timeless reminder that rejection doesn't lower the standard. It simply invites us back to the work. Keep Spinning. Keep Grooving. Keep Believing.
