    On this episode of Ideas Into Results, Kacy Cooper joins the show to talk about his new journal, Between Seasons, which was born out of experiencing uncertain seasons in his life. Between Seasons was created for moments when life doesn’t come with clear answers. Where families grieve and heal.Where identities shift.Where dreams are refined.Where faith is tested.Where we quietly become who we’re meant to be. It’s for the pauses between decisions, identities, roles, and chapters — when something has ended, but what comes next hasn’t fully taken shape. This work is rooted in reflection, honesty, and trust —offering space to slow down, ask better questions, and move forward gently. Kacy also shares insights from his 20 years working in the human resources field. Specifically, he explains what it means to “Humanize HR” and treat people with the dignity and respect they deserve. It’s about helping leaders understand how their decisions and actions affect the people they lead. Don’t miss this conversation! It will inspire you, it will equip you, and it will encourage you.  ______ Kacy Cooper is a seasoned Human Resource Professional with over 20 years of experience in both the private and public sectors.

    The Pitfalls That Can Derail Your Leadership (and How to Avoid Them) - featuring Karen Pelot

    Leaders rarely fail because of a single dramatic mistake— it’s the quiet, everyday pitfalls that slowly erode trust, weaken teams, and cap a leader’s impact. In this episode, Karen Pelot joins the podcast to breakdown the most common traps leaders fall into and how to avoid them. From the foundational role of trust — both predictive trust (“Can I rely on you?”) and relational trust (“Do you actually care about me?”) — to the consequences of inconsistent or unclear communication, we explore why teams disengage long before they speak up.   We also dig into the dangers of leading from ego: believing you have all the answers, resisting vulnerability, and shutting down feedback that could make you better. Finally, we look at why so many leaders struggle with criticism and how learning to handle it well becomes a competitive advantage. This episode gives leaders a roadmap for self-awareness, stronger relationships, and healthier, higher‑performing teams.  Karen Pelot is the founder and managing practitioner of PERSPECTIVES, which started in 2007 as a mediation firm. Fueled by client requests, PERSPECTIVES evolved into the leadership coaching & development consortium it is today. Karen thrives in helping leaders accomplish more – with less stress and better results. She brings deep expertise in leadership strategy, team alignment, conflict resolution, and people dynamics. A former Fortune 100 senior leader, Karen serves as an executive coach, facilitator, and speaker.
