    Faithful Over Successful with Brandon West | #LeadWithLegacy | Episode 45

    What if success isn't actually yours to control? In Episode #45 of the Lead with Legacy™ Podcast, IOL Global's Amanda Chambers sits down with Brandon West, founder and Chief Purpose Officer of PHOS Creative and author of It's Not Your Business to Succeed, for a powerful conversation about faith, purpose, leadership, business, and what it means to remain faithful when the outcome isn't yours to control. Brandon shares how his leadership journey has shifted from focusing solely on business outcomes to building an organization centered on purpose, people, and Kingdom impact. He explains why leaders are responsible for creating economic, cultural, and spiritual value—and why cultivating an environment where people can truly flourish requires intentionality. Amanda and Brandon also discuss servant leadership, surrendering control, leading and parenting with humility, using business as a platform for ministry, and Brandon's belief that leaders should be the first to admit when they get it wrong—the "Chief Repenting Officer." Brandon also shares the incredible story behind PHOS Creative's work helping launch care centers serving women and children impacted by trafficking, abuse, vulnerability, and extreme poverty around the world. The conversation explores AI and ethical leadership, building trust through business, the importance of having the right people around you during difficult seasons, and why Brandon hopes four simple words ultimately define his legacy: Faithful to the end. 🔔 Subscribe for leadership insights, honest conversations, and practical wisdom you can apply immediately. 🌐 Learn more about IOL Global: www.iolglobal.com 🔗 Connect with Brandon West: Website: https://brandonmichaelwest.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonmichaelwest/ 📖 Purchase It's Not Your Business to Succeed: https://a.co/d/0cQYCBe1 🌐 PHOS Creative: https://phoscreative.com/ Support the Lead with Legacy™ Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2600300/support Contact our team to book a time to be on the Lead with Legacy™ Podcast: https://iolglobal.com/podcast #LeadWithLegacy #iolglobal #ServeGod #ServePeople #FaithBasedLeadership #ChristianLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #LegacyLeadership #KingdomLeadership #ServantLeadership #LeadershipPodcast #AmandaChambers #PublicServiceLeadership #LeadershipWithPurpose Support the show Lead with Legacy™ is the official podcast of IOL Global, where we explore leadership that outlives titles, roles, and careers.

    Beyond the Project: Leading for Value with Christine DeVol | #LeadWithLegacy | Episode 44

    What does it take to transform a project management office from an order-taking function into a strategic partner that delivers measurable value? In Episode #44 of the Lead with Legacy™ Podcast, IOL Global’s Amanda Chambers welcomes Christine DeVol, PMP, award-winning EPMO leader and founder of Willow Path Advisory Group. With more than 20 years of experience as a project management practitioner and professor, Christine shares her journey building and leading enterprise project management offices, including teams recognized with PMI’s Global PMO of the Year in 2021 and North American PMO of the Year in 2024. Amanda and Christine explore why project management must evolve beyond schedules and implementation to focus on organizational outcomes, benefits, and the people impacted by change. They discuss the importance of developing confident project professionals, communicating in language executives understand, and building PMOs that earn a seat at the strategic table. The conversation also examines AI as a thought partner rather than a replacement for human leadership, the importance of resilience, and the inspiration behind Christine’s Willow Path framework. Christine shares how she supports PMO leaders through practical tools, coaching, and real-world experience as they navigate challenges and mature their organizations. When asked about legacy, Christine’s answer is rooted in servant leadership: to be remembered as someone who was real, who helped others, and who walked alongside them during their personal and professional journeys. 🔔 Subscribe for leadership insights, honest conversations, and practical wisdom you can apply immediately. 🌐 Learn more about IOL Global: www.iolglobal.com 🔗 Connect with Christine DeVol: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinedevol/ Website: https://www.christinedevol.com Support the Lead with Legacy™ Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2600300/support Contact our team to book a time to be on the Lead with Legacy™ Podcast: https://iolglobal.com/podcast #LeadWithLegacy #iolglobal #ServeGod #ServePeople #FaithBasedLeadership #ChristianLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #LegacyLeadership #KingdomLeadership #ServantLeadership #LeadershipPodcast #AmandaChambers #PublicServiceLeadership #LeadershipWithPurpose Support the show Lead with Legacy™ is the official podcast of IOL Global, where we explore leadership that outlives titles, roles, and careers.

    Driving Project Success with Shane Dixon | #LeadWithLegacy | Episode 43

    What separates someone who simply manages projects from a leader who actually drives project success? In Episode #43 of the Lead with Legacy™ Podcast, IOL Global’s Amanda Chambers welcomes Shane Dixon, project management leader, strategic consultant, veteran, and Director of Customer Experience at Corbeau® Tech. Shane shares lessons from a career spent in project management, strategic consulting, government contracting, and building and leading PMOs. He explains why decisive leadership matters, how fear can prevent leaders from making necessary decisions, and why sometimes making the wrong call and correcting course is better than making no decision at all. Amanda and Shane also discuss using AI as a tool to strengthen decision-making, building organizational buy-in before implementing change, communicating difficult project realities honestly, and creating environments where teams feel safe enough to tell leaders the truth. The conversation also explores how Shane’s military service and faith have shaped his approach to servant leadership. For Shane, leadership means clearing the path for others, treating people with dignity and fairness, doing business ethically, and helping people succeed. His vision for legacy isn't about having his name remembered. It's about making people’s lives better—and encouraging them to do the same for someone else. 🔔 Subscribe for leadership insights, honest conversations, and practical wisdom you can apply immediately. 🌐 Learn more about IOL Global: www.iolglobal.com 🔗 Connect with Shane Dixon: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanemichaeldixon/ Website: https://essixconsulting.com/ Support the Lead with Legacy™ Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2600300/support Contact our team to book a time to be on the Lead with Legacy™ Podcast: https://iolglobal.com/podcast #LeadWithLegacy #iolglobal #ServeGod #ServePeople #FaithBasedLeadership #ChristianLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #LegacyLeadership #KingdomLeadership #ServantLeadership #LeadershipPodcast #AmandaChambers #PublicServiceLeadership #LeadershipWithPurpose Support the show Lead with Legacy™ is the official podcast of IOL Global, where we explore leadership that outlives titles, roles, and careers.
