    Why the World Needs You to Lead - Thoughts from Kevin

    The world doesn't get better unless someone leads — and that someone can be you.

    How Can You Be More Intentional?

    How can you be more intentional? Many leaders say they intend to do things—but intention alone doesn't create results. In this episode of Remarkable TV, I explain the difference between backward-looking intentions and the kind of forward-looking intentionality that actually drives action and change. In this video, you'll learn: The two kinds of intention—and which one actually works Why most resolutions fail by February How knowing your why fuels intentional action Why writing down your why matters just as much as writing goals How purpose-driven decisions lead to better leadership results This episode is part two of the New Year, New You series and builds on last week's conversation about insight. Together, insight and intention create momentum for meaningful growth.

    Creating Strength in Chaos with Kevin Black

    Is chaos something to fear or something we can leverage? Kevin sits down with Kevin Black to discuss why chaos isn't inherently good or bad and how leaders can prepare to succeed in it. Kevin Black explains how natural behaviors, deeply rooted in our personality and life experiences, influence our reactions to chaos and shape team dynamics. He shares his chaos model, which features a taxonomy of control outcomes, from anarchy to deliberate resistance, and how leaders can identify and respond to each stage. They also discuss the four components of constructive chaos and how mishandling these can lead a team into destructive chaos.

    Would You Like to Be More Insightful?

    Would you like to be more insightful? Insight is one of those leadership qualities we admire in others—but rarely think about as a skill we can develop. In this episode of Remarkable TV, Kevin Eikenberry shares a practical blueprint for becoming more insightful as a leader and as a human being. You'll learn: Why insight comes from slowing down—not speeding up How reflection turns experience into learning The power of asking better questions (of yourself and others) How making connections leads to better decisions Why "what if" thinking builds empathy and understanding How writing or talking ideas out helps lock insight in If you want to make better decisions, lead with greater clarity, and grow into a better version of yourself, this episode is for you. 👉 Remarkable Reminder: You become a better version of yourself when you seek insight before answers. 📩 Want more leadership insights each week?
