Andrea Chilcote on her What Leaders Need Now podcast series as she explores leadership attributes and practices that will help leaders become more effective with their teams in the workplace. Her conversations include expert guests who bring relatable client stories to help you reconnect with the authentic leader within you.
Having the right people and talent on your team is critical to your team’s success and your own. The trick is not only selecting the right people but also identifying and helping their talents blossom. My guest, Michael Sloan, VP of Human Resources at CommonSpirit Health and author of “Unlocking Talents,” discusses the qualities and behaviors you should look for beyond experience and hard skills. We also examine the importance of team cohesiveness to an organization’s health. I hope you enjoy listening to what Michael has to say.

What Leaders Need Now: Leadership Benefits of Using Personality Assessments | E20
Change can be welcomed or not, self-imposed, or imposed by another, yet people always experience an emotional process of transition. My two guests, Sonji Jacobs and Chris Sizemore, managing partners of INCISIVE, approached their transition with eyes wide open, ready to adapt and learn, with my support as their coach. They demonstrate that the transition process can be rewarding, enlightening, and even fun, if you choose to make it so. The experience they share about using assessments and coaching is tremendously insightful for any leader. Whether you are transitioning into a new role, a new company, or even just thinking about it, you can learn a lot from their approach. You will love watching their partnership dynamics and will gain perspective. What a fun podcast to host!

What Leaders Need Now: Leading with a Coaching Mindset | E19
I had the opportunity to preview a new book by Dr. Damian Goldvarg, "Lead with a Coaching Mindset: How the Best Leaders Unlock Potential", which was released on September 2nd, 2025. Dr. Goldvarg, Ph.D., is not only an author but also an internationally accredited and well-known expert in leadership, with thirty years of experience in the fields of leadership coaching, training, and research. He lectures and studies around the world on the topic. In addition to book preview, I jumped at the opportunity to sit down and talk with Dr. Goldvarg about the book and discuss why some organizational cultures reinforce a leadership style of "command and control,” vs. a coaching style that Dr. Goldvarg (and I!) advocate. This is an especially timely subject as Gallup's 2025 "State of the Global Workplace" report recently highlighted concerning findings about employee as well as leadership engagement.
