    Culture by People: Heart-Driven Leadership, Autonomy & Leading by Example with Alan Lazaros

    What does it take to lead with both heart and high standards? In this episode of the People Profit Podcast, Sandra Coker sits down with Alan Lazaros, Founder and CEO of Next Level University, to explore heart-driven, no-BS leadership and how autonomy, personal responsibility, and leading by example can create high-performing teams. After a near-fatal car accident at 26 changed the direction of his life, Alan committed himself to personal development, coaching, and helping others reach their potential. Today, his approach to leadership combines empathy with accountability, clear expectations, measurable goals, and continuous growth. Sandra and Alan discuss the importance of understanding yourself, others, and the world around you, building autonomy within remote and global teams, using habits and metrics to create accountability, and why leaders must model the behaviors they expect from others. Alan also shares a simple leadership principle: “If you aren’t doing it, you can never expect it.” For leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, and anyone focused on personal development, this conversation offers practical insights into building teams where people take ownership, grow, and perform at their best.#PeopleProfitPodcast #AlanLazaros #NextLevelUniversity #Leadership #LeadershipDevelopment #WorkplaceCulture #PersonalDevelopment #TeamLeadership #EmployeeEngagement #HighPerformingTeams

    Culture by People: Building a Courage Economy & Ending the Culture of Comfort with Thane Bellomo

    What if your organization doesn’t have a strategy problem—but a courage problem? In this episode of the People Profit Podcast, Sandra Coker sits down with Thane Bellomo, organizational development consultant, executive coach, and author of The Courage Economy, to explore how comfort, avoidance, and small workplace “lies” can quietly undermine trust, accountability, and performance. Drawing on 30 years in organizational development—including 12 years in the nuclear industry—Thane explains the difference between the Courage Economy, Comfort Economy, and Lie Economy, and what leaders can do to build cultures where honesty and meaningful work come first. Sandra and Thane discuss how organizations unintentionally reward the wrong behaviors, why leaders must hold themselves to the same standards as their teams, and how meaningful shared work can create stronger collaboration and trust. Thane also shares one of the central ideas behind his approach: it’s not enough to ask people to be courageous—you must design the work so that courage is required. For leaders, managers, HR professionals, and L&D professionals, this conversation offers a different way to think about courage, accountability, trust, and the culture you create every day.

    Culture by People: Breaking the “Can’t” Culture & Building Empowered Teams with JL Heather

    What if the biggest thing holding your team back isn’t a lack of talent—but a culture of “can’t”? In this episode of the People Profit Podcast, Sandra Coker sits down with JL Heather, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Centered, to explore how leaders can break the patterns that quietly limit innovation, ownership, and performance. JL is an executive coach who has worked with senior leaders at Fortune 500 companies and is the co-author of The Agile Code and Breakthrough Innovation. Together, Sandra and JL discuss why influence can be more powerful than authority, how leaders can create environments where employees feel safe speaking up, and why empowering people requires delegating authority—not simply tasks. They also explore the hidden cost of “can’t culture,” groupthink, employee silence, feedback, emotional intelligence, and the shift from process-focused teams to teams that understand the bigger purpose behind their work. JL shares practical strategies leaders can use to encourage healthy disagreement, create greater ownership, and build teams capable of solving problems without waiting for permission.
