What if your greatest leadership move isn’t to push harder — but to connect deeper? 🤝

Retired Army Colonel and executive coach Paul Raggio joins me to unpack the difference between motivation and inspiration, how emotional intelligence fuels trust, and why a leader’s first job is to help others stay self-motivated.

From Desert Storm to the boardroom, Paul shares field-tested lessons on turning blind spots into breakthroughs—including how to use SWOT analysis to plan real continuity, train two levels down, and rehearse leadership handoffs before you need them.

You’ll walk away with practical takeaways:
✅ Build trust before giving advice
✅ Tailor inspiration to each person’s drive
✅ Protect the mission with bench strength
✅ Lead with EQ, reflection, and humility

💡 Whether you’re leading a team or scaling a business, this episode delivers a playbook for resilient, people-first leadership.
