    Purpose & Resilience in the Margins: How Poverty, Culture Shock, Reinvention & Faith Shaped My Leadership

    Purpose isn’t always born in comfort. Sometimes it’s shaped in the margins. In today’s episode, I share my own story: growing up in a low‑income, culturally diverse neighborhood in Toronto, navigating the culture shock of leaving it, and how those early experiences — along with the grounding force of faith — shaped my understanding of people, empathy, belonging, and ultimately my leadership style. We explore five key themes: Poverty as a teacherCulture shock as a catalystReinvention through disruptionFaith as an anchor for purpose Leadership style as a function of one’s upbringing If you’ve ever felt like your beginnings were too humble, too chaotic, or too complicated to produce greatness, this episode is for you.

    Never Can Say Goodbye: A Dad’s Wisdom on Letting Go and Saying ‘See You Later’ to His Only Daughter Leaving for University

    Every parent dreams of the day their child steps confidently into the world — and yet that same day can quietly horrify them. It’s every hope and aspiration wrapped in a single goodbye. It’s the mission you feel you were put on Earth to do… and the moment you wonder if you actually did it right. In this episode of The Coach’s Corner, I share the journey of sending my only daughter, Makayla, off to university — a moment that brought back memories of our car rides together, listening to the Jackson 5’s “Never Can Say Goodbye.” It was our ritual. Our soundtrack. Our reminder that even when life moves forward, love doesn’t let go. And woven through this story is our faith as parents — because we almost lost her before she was born. We held onto God, believing He would bring her here, believing she had purpose, believing she would make a difference in the world. Her name, Makayla, means “Who is like Yahweh.” Now she’s here — or rather, not here with us anymore — as she steps into her own life at university. The same faith that carried her into this world is the faith we lean on as she walks into the world of her future. This episode is about how parents — not only as leaders of their children, but as the ones who must eventually send them into the world — learn to say not goodbye, but see you later.

    LEADING UNDER PRESSURE: How to Support People Without Transferring Your Anxiety

    Leaders today face a new kind of pressure — not just to deliver results, but to absorb uncertainty, regulate emotion, and support people who are struggling without transferring their own anxiety. Recently, I sat down with Aslak De Silva, host of Black Belt of Leadership and a fellow member of our Mission Matters podcast family, to explore exactly that. We talked about adversity, emotional intelligence, identity, compassion, and the human side of leadership. Today on The Coach’s Corner, I’m bringing those insights home — and expanding them. And if you want to go deeper after this episode, check out Episode #93: Emotional Echo, where we explore how leaders’ emotions ripple through their teams.
