    Humility isn't thinking less of yourself; it's thinking of yourself less.

    The strongest leaders aren't the ones who need the spotlight. They're the ones who help others shine. This week on Mpactful Messages: The Let's Talk About It Podcast, Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam welcome leadership coach, speaker, and author Mike Kelly for a conversation inspired by this week's quote: "Humility isn't thinking less of yourself; it's thinking of yourself less." In a world that often celebrates self-promotion, Mike offers a refreshing perspective on what lasting leadership really looks like. From leading teams at major organizations to coaching leaders through change, he explains why humility isn't a weakness, it's one of a leader's greatest strengths. The conversation explores the power of listening, creating a culture where honest feedback is welcomed, empowering others to succeed, and why influence grows when leaders stop trying to prove themselves and start investing in the people around them. If you've ever wondered how to build trust, strengthen your influence, and leave a legacy that extends far beyond your title, this episode is one you won't want to miss.

    Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

    People don't resist change nearly as much as they resist feeling left behind. Every leader will face change. New strategies. New systems. New expectations. But the biggest challenge usually isn't the change itself. It's helping people believe they're part of it. This week on Mpactful Messages: The Let's Talk About It Podcast, Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam welcome organizational change expert Lata Hamilton for a conversation inspired by this week's quote: "Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." – George Bernard Shaw Having guided organizations through large-scale transformations affecting thousands of employees, Lata has learned that successful change starts with empathy, not announcements. She explains why communication often breaks down during periods of uncertainty, how leaders can build trust before asking people to move in a new direction, and why understanding the human side of change is just as important as having the right strategy. The organizations that navigate change best aren't necessarily the ones with the smartest plans. They're the ones with leaders who remember that every change initiative is experienced one person at a time.

    If you want to know how a company treats its customers, ask its employees.

    Great customer service doesn't start with the customer. It starts with the employee. This week on Mpactful Messages: The Let's Talk About It Podcast, Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam are joined by leadership expert, sales trainer, and creator of Connect Deck, Curt Tueffert, for a conversation inspired by this week's quote: "If you want to know how a company treats its customers, ask its employees." What creates employees who genuinely care about the people they serve? According to Curt, it isn't better customer service training. It's better leadership. In this conversation, Curt explains why trust is the foundation of every healthy workplace, how disconnected employees quietly impact an organization's reputation, and why leaders have to get out from behind their desks if they want to build a thriving culture. He also shares practical ideas for reconnecting disengaged team members, creating meaningful conversations, and developing employees who naturally create exceptional customer experiences. If you've ever wondered why some organizations consistently create loyal customers while others struggle, this episode offers a fresh reminder that culture always shows up in customer service.

    It is your light that lights the world.

    What kind of light do people experience when they're around you? This week on Mpactful Messages: The Let's Talk About It Podcast, Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam welcome Alison Rank, Chief Illuminating Officer, for a conversation inspired by this week's quote: "It is your light that lights the world." – Rumi Together, they talk about it and explore why leadership isn't just about what you accomplish, it's about the energy, purpose, and hope you bring to the people around you. Alison shares how stepping away from a successful executive career led her to discover that true fulfillment comes from living in alignment with who you are, not simply what you do. She also offers practical insights on overcoming limiting beliefs, reconnecting with your purpose, and helping others see what's possible in themselves. Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or simply trying to find more joy in your work, this episode will remind you that your greatest influence comes from becoming the best version of yourself and giving others permission to do the same.

    The culture of any organization is shaped by the worst behavior the leader is willing to tolerate.

    Culture isn't what you say you value. It's what you consistently allow. Every organization has a culture. The question is whether you're creating it intentionally... or accidentally. This week on Mpactful Messages: The Let's Talk About It Podcast, Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam welcome leadership development expert Matthew Wyndham for a conversation inspired by this week's quote: "The culture of any organization is shaped by the worst behavior the leader is willing to tolerate." – Gruenert & Whitaker Matthew explains why culture is built in the small moments that most leaders overlook. Every difficult conversation avoided, every behavior excused, every standard enforced, and every value demonstrated sends a message to the people watching. He shares practical strategies for creating accountability without losing trust, helping teams live out shared values, and building an environment where people know exactly what is expected and feel empowered to contribute at their highest level. Strong cultures don't happen because leaders hope for them. They happen because leaders choose, every single day, what they're willing to model, reinforce, and refuse to accept.

    Lead thyself first.

    You can't lead others well if you aren't leading yourself first. Leadership isn't just about managing people, making decisions, or achieving results. It begins with something much closer to home... understanding yourself. This week on Mpactful Messages: The Let's Talk About It Podcast, Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam welcome mindset coach, keynote speaker, and business strategist Cindy Koehler for a conversation inspired by this week's quote: "Lead thyself first." Cindy shares why self-leadership is the foundation for every other kind of leadership. From managing stress and recognizing emotional triggers to building healthier habits and increasing self-awareness, she offers practical tools to help leaders respond with intention instead of reacting under pressure. The conversation also explores why slowing down, paying attention to your thoughts, and caring for yourself aren't signs of weakness. They're essential disciplines for anyone who wants to lead with clarity and consistency. Whether you're leading a business, a team, or simply trying to become the best version of yourself, this episode is a reminder that the leader you become on the inside will always determine the impact you have on the outside.

    What feels like the end is often the beginning.

    Every new beginning asks something of us. The question is... are we ready to grow into it? Stepping into a new role, accepting a promotion, or navigating an unexpected transition can be exciting. It can also be overwhelming. The skills that got us here aren't always the ones we'll need next. This week on Mpactful Messages: The Let's Talk About It Podcast, Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam welcome executive coach and bestselling author Navid Nazemian for a conversation inspired by this week's quote: "What feels like the end is often the beginning." Drawing from decades of experience coaching executives around the world, Navid shares why successful leadership transitions begin long before your first day. He discusses the importance of earning trust instead of assuming it, listening before leading, embracing curiosity over certainty, and recognizing that every transition is an opportunity to reinvent not only how you lead, but who you become as a leader. Whether you're preparing for your next opportunity or helping someone else navigate change, this episode offers practical wisdom for making the transition with confidence, humility, and purpose.

    The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

    The best leaders never stop learning... because they know they've never arrived. The more experience we gain, the easier it can be to believe we've seen it all. But the leaders who make the greatest impact are often the ones who stay curious, keep asking questions, and remain open to learning. This week on Mpactful Messages: The Let's Talk About It Podcast, Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam welcome hockey executive, TEDx speaker, author, and coach Toni Will for a conversation inspired by this week's quote: "The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know." – Albert Einstein From leading a professional hockey organization to launching businesses and writing books, Toni has learned that confidence and curiosity can coexist. She shares why the strongest leaders aren't afraid to ask for help, challenge their own assumptions, or step into unfamiliar territory. Along the way, she offers practical insights on lifelong learning, embracing new opportunities, and leading with humility instead of ego. Whether you're stepping into a new role, growing your business, or simply striving to become a better leader, this episode is a reminder that growth begins the moment we admit there's still more to learn.
