    Mastering Empathy in Leadership

    How can empathy transform leadership and communication in high-stakes situations? Retired Army Colonel Chris Kolenda joins Shari to explore the power of empathy in leadership. Chris shares real-life stories from Afghanistan, revealing a method to bridge cultural and generational gaps. Discover practical steps for improving understanding and collaboration in your own workplace. KEY TAKEAWAYS Empathy forms the basis of effective communication. Understanding emotional and experiential backgrounds fosters collaboration. The FLIP method allows quick, deep connections.   GUEST BIO Chris Kolenda works with leaders who want to end dependency and build team-powered momentum. This allows you to go from feeling trapped in day-to-day management to being liberated to create the future. He grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, a skinny and awkward kid, which made him a target for creeps and bullies. Determined to defend himself and others, he went to West Point and graduated near the top of his class. He served in the Army for 24 and a half years, leading an 800-paratrooper task force on a 450-day deployment to Afghanistan. His unit motivated a large enemy force to switch sides and become allies – the only example in the 20-year history of the war. You can read more about that in Jake Tapper’s bestselling book, The Outpost. Chris has been a trusted adviser to cabinet-level secretaries, four-star generals, NFL Coaches, Police and Fire Chiefs, CEOs, and Executive directors. He holds a Ph.D. in War Studies and has authored three books, including Leadership: The Warrior’s Art and the award-winning Zero-Sum Victory: What We’re Getting Wrong About War. Chris has appeared on major national news networks and has been featured on the front pages of the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post. He recently undertook a 1700-mile bicycle ride to visit the graves of his unit’s six paratroopers killed in action in Afghanistan. The ride enabled him to establish the Saber Six Foundation, working with veterans to turn post-combat stress into growth.

    The FLIP Method: Create Authentic Connection in Under 60 Seconds

    In this episode, Shari Leid introduces the FLIP the Box® Method, a simple yet powerful four-step framework that helps leaders, professionals, and everyday people create authentic human connection in under 60 seconds. More than a networking strategy, FLIP is a practical leadership approach that transforms the way we communicate, build trust, and cultivate meaningful relationships.  The four steps of the FLIP Method are: F – Focus on Who, Not You Shift your attention away from yourself and toward the person in front of you. By becoming fully present and intentionally curious, you create the foundation for genuine connection.  L – Listen to Identify, Not Reply Listen with the intention of understanding rather than preparing your next response. By slowing down and listening for what matters most, you uncover what people truly need, value, and care about.  I – Ignite the Soul, Not Control the Situation Instead of trying to direct or fix every conversation, inspire others by helping them reconnect with their purpose, strengths, passions, and possibilities. Great leaders ignite potential rather than control outcomes.  P – Play Ball, Not Small Show up as your authentic self. Let go of perfection, embrace vulnerability, and lead with courage. Authenticity creates psychological safety and invites others to do the same. Throughout the episode, Shari shares practical examples, leadership insights, and actionable strategies that listeners can immediately apply in business, leadership, networking, and everyday life. She demonstrates how the FLIP Method helps build trust faster, strengthen relationships, and create more meaningful conversations in any setting.
