    Embracing Life’s Left Turns: Larry O'nan on Leadership, Stewardship, and Intentional Living

    On today’s episode of the McCoy Leadership Podcast, we heard from Larry O'nan—a seasoned leader with over sixty years of experience in management, nonprofits, and fund development. Larry shared how his unexpected “left turns” in life became powerful opportunities for growth, and why embracing failure is essential to strong leadership. We also dived into the heart of intentional living and stewardship, discovering that true success comes from serving others and managing our resources with purpose. If you’re ready to lead with intention and find your “true north,” don’t miss this insightful conversation. ------ Download your free episode guide here! ------ 00:00 Unplanned Career Shifts and Growth 05:39 Embracing Unexpected Opportunities 07:56 Unexpected Career Shift 10:11 Embrace Flexibility and Adaptability 16:37 Charity Motivation and Emotional Appeal 17:56 Stewardship Key to Fundraising Success 21:40 The Power of Giving and Asking 27:02 "Principles of Lifestyle Stewardship" 28:18 Degrees of Truth and Deception 31:37 "Life Isn't Disneyland" 35:19 "The Giver Needs to Give" 38:14 AI: A Blessing and a Curse ------ Here are 3 key takeaways that resonated with me: Embrace Unexpected Turns: Larry’s story is a powerful reminder that career paths are rarely linear. Many of our biggest growth moments come from those “left turns” in life—unexpected challenges that become opportunities for leadership and reinvention. Intentional Living & Stewardship: True stewardship is about managing resources—skills, time, money—on behalf of something bigger than ourselves. Larry emphasizes that intentionality, rather than just technique, is what drives lasting impact in both leadership and fund development. The Importance of Flexibility & Team Ownership: As leaders, fostering adaptability and empowering your team to take ownership creates environments where both people and projects thrive.

    From Marine Corps to Microsoft: Chad E. Cooper on Legendary Leadership and Lasting Impact

    On this episode of the McCoy Leadership Podcast, I sat down with Chad E. Cooper—former Marine, Microsoft retiree at just 35, and high-level leadership coach. We dove deep into why values-driven leadership trumps just chasing tools and hacks, and why clarity, alignment, and resourcefulness are true keys to lasting success. Chad shared how the SERVE method reshapes leaders, and inspired us to let go of victim mindsets, adapt to new environments, and relentlessly pursue a legendary life. If you’re ready to level up your leadership and create real impact, this episode is a must-listen! ------ Download your free episode guide here! ------ 00:00 Marine Corps: A Value-Based Organization 04:01 "Navigating Life's Journey" 08:50 Decline of Malls and Map Reading 10:19 Adapting Military Leadership to Civilian Sector 14:41 Resourcefulness Drives Consistent Success 19:30 Changing the Conversation on Privilege 22:52 "Leadership Through Transformative Language" 24:00 "Aligning Purpose with Self-Talk" 28:57 "Feeding the Right Wolf" 30:33 "Prioritize Time for Impact" 35:55 "Revamp Curriculum: Focus on Outcomes" 38:52 "Surgical Tech Use with AI" 39:56 Follow & Subscribe for Updates ------ Here are my top 3 takeaways for fellow leaders and professionals: Start with Self-Awareness: You can’t lead effectively without knowing where you are, where you’re headed, and who’s coming with you. Take a step back—get clear on your map before you start collecting tools for the journey. Adapt Your Tools to Your Environment: What works in one organization (or season of life) won’t always work in another. The best leaders regularly reassess their approach and let go of what no longer fits. Resourcefulness > Resources: Whether it’s running a plant or leading a global team, your capacity to find solutions (not just the “right” answer) is a game-changer. Embrace challenges as an opportunity to show creativity and grit. ------ Want to learn more about McCoy Leadership?  Check out our website, https://www.mccoyleadership.com/ and don't forget to subscribe to receive all the latest podcast episode. ------ Links Chad's website LinkedIn Book Recommendation

    Creating Impactful Workplaces: Alicia Faricelli Reveals the Power of Authentic Leadership

    On today’s McCoy Leadership Podcast, I sat down with emotional intelligence expert Alicia Faricelli, and we dove deep into how leaders can unlock self-awareness, resilience, and authentic impact. From managing stress and breaking out of fight-or-flight patterns, to transforming scarcity mindsets and building stronger teams, Alicia shared actionable tips you can implement right now. If you’re ready to stop fighting for your piece of the pie and start leading with intention and emotional intelligence, you’ll want to tune in to this episode! ------ Download your free episode guide here! ------ 00:00 Entrepreneur Coaching for Emotional Intelligence 03:21 Emotional Intelligence in Tough Industries 08:51 Disconnect for Happiness and Balance 10:04 Morning Routine for Balanced Work-Life 13:53 "Believing in Others' Potential" 18:59 "Serve Others for True Fulfillment" 22:24 "Receiving by Giving: Client Challenges" 24:06 Optimizing Hiring Processes 28:40 Align Personal and Business Vision 30:45 Defining Entrepreneurial Purpose 34:38 Embracing Change: A Healthy Approach 38:09 "Recommended Entrepreneur Book: Traction" ------ Here are 3 takeaways every business leader should consider: Emotional Intelligence Starts with the Nervous System: Alicia emphasizes that real emotional intelligence is rooted in a regulated nervous system. When leaders manage their stress and emotional responses, it ripples out—impacting productivity, relationships, and overall organizational culture. Service Over Scarcity: The urge to “fight for your slice” is often rooted in scarcity mindsets passed down generationally. Alicia’s advice? Shift from a competitive to a service-driven approach—focus on how you can help others, and watch abundance return. Hiring for Attitude Over Skills: Skills can be taught. Emotional intelligence, willingness to learn, and alignment with your mission are harder to cultivate. Look for energy, engagement, and adaptability when bringing people onto your team. ------ Want to learn more about McCoy Leadership?  Check out our website, https://www.mccoyleadership.com/ and don't forget to subscribe to receive all the latest podcast episode. ------ Links Alicia's Website LinkedIn Book Recommendation

The key is intentionality: clearly define and communicate values so employees can know if it’s the right fit for them. Preventing Burnout is a Shared Responsibility: Burnout doesn’t just happen because of individual overwork. According to Wendy, organizations play a crucial role—and mismatches in values, workload, control, reward, community, and fairness can all contribute. Leaders have real power to make a difference. The Power of Listening: Responsive listening (not just surveying employees, but following up and acting with transparency on feedback) is an underutilized leadership superpower. People want to feel heard and valued—it’s foundational for retention and performance. ------ Want to learn more about McCoy Leadership?  Check out our website, https://www.mccoyleadership.com/ and don't forget to subscribe to receive all the latest podcast episode. ------ Links Wendy's Website LinkedIn Book Recommendation Good to Great
