  • Four Ways to Turn Failure Into Success

    Four Ways to Turn Failure Into Success
    May 6 2026
    Don't spend your leadership journey trying to avoid failure; you will end up thinking, planning, and dreaming too small. Instead, invest your time creating a framework to let failure work to your advantage. In this week's episode, John Maxwell teaches four ways you can transform setbacks into powerful steppingstones for success! After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Robinson share actionable strategies to help you turn John's insights on failure into practical growth for yourself and your team. Key takeaways: The most effective leaders learn to distinguish between good misses that move them forward and bad misses that hold them back. Embracing the difficulty of challenges and anticipating failure prepares you mentally and emotionally to grow through adversity. When you humbly share your failures and lessons learned, you encourage others and build a culture where growth thrives over perfection.

  • Values Are the Soul of Leadership

    Values Are the Soul of Leadership
    Apr 29 2026
    What values are defining your legacy as a leader? In this week's episode, John Maxwell illuminates how true leadership can only center on values, and those values can only center on people. After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Robinson dig into practical ways you can identify, live out, and multiply these values within your team and organization. Key takeaways: The test of good values is whether they value all people, all the time, in every situation—this alignment is the foundation of real leadership. Leaders who see and lift others unlock greater potential, but when they stop valuing people, they lose their right to lead. Values act as the glue, foundation, compass, and map for a leader, providing stability, accountability, direction, and daily guidance.

In this week's episode, John continues his lesson from last week to share a few key principles that impact the joy in your leadership journey.

Key takeaways: Growth happens not by avoiding adversity but by doing hard things—so you're prepared to take on even greater challenges.

Generosity and deep joy are fruits of a grateful mindset, reminding leaders to stay present and appreciate the opportunities in front of them.
