    Process is King: Why Leaders Fail Without It with Dr. Arthur Satterwhite

    In this episode of The WiLD Conversation Podcast, Dr. Rob McKenna sits down with Dr. Arthur Satterwhite III to discuss why process is everything—whether you’re leading a team, launching a product, or rebuilding trust. Dr. Satterwhite shares his research from The Relate Project, unpacking what leaders must understand about relational trust, adolescent culture, and the phases we often overlook when trying to create lasting impact. Drawing from his own leadership journey, he challenges us to consider: Are we intentional about every phase of the leadership process? Are we bringing the right people in at the right time? Are we building trust strategically instead of assuming it will happen? From business strategy to leadership development, this episode is a wake-up call for leaders who want to stop short-changing their impact and start leading with intentionality. Key Leadership Takeaways:🚀 Process isn’t a barrier—it’s the path to sustainable success.🤝 Trust isn’t automatic—there’s a process to rebuilding and maintaining it.💡 Overlooking key phases in leadership or strategy can undermine everything.

    Conflict, Trust, and the Energy Between: How Leaders Steward the Tension with Dr. Nate Regier

    Many leaders see conflict as a problem to avoid rather than a resource to steward. But what if conflict isn’t inherently bad? What if it’s simply the energy in the gap between differences—a natural outcome of diversity? In this episode of the WiLD Conversation Podcast, Dr. Rob McKenna sits down with Nate Regier from Next Element to explore: Why conflict and trust are deeply interconnected. How the most effective leaders manage the energy of conflict rather than suppress it. Why composure in leadership is more than self-control—it’s a form of compassionate accountability. The critical intersection between people and process—and why separating them is a mistake. The power of research-backed leadership development that balances qualitative insights with objective data. Leaders today are running low on energy. But what if the key to energized, resilient leadership isn’t about avoiding conflict—but learning how to harness it? Join Rob and Nate for a deep dive into the art and science of leading with trust, navigating conflict with wisdom, and transforming organizational dynamics for the better. Leadership Takeaways: Conflict is Inevitable—How You Steward It Matters. It’s not about whether conflict is good or bad, but how you manage the energy in the gap between differences. Trust and Conflict Are Two Sides of the Same Coin. Healthy teams don’t avoid conflict—they build trust through compassionate accountability and honest dialogue. Composure is Leadership Currency. Leaders who remain steady in high-conflict situations create stability and psychological safety for their teams. People and Process Must Work Together. The best organizations don’t separate operational excellence from human connection—they embrace the paradox. Measurement Brings Clarity. Balancing qualitative and quantitative insights helps leaders see the truth, make intelligent mistakes, and ask better questions. #Leadership #ConflictResolution #WiLDConversations #CompassionateAccountability #EnergyManagement #OrganizationalHealth

    The Courage to Connect: Breaking Barriers & Building Whole Community

    In this weeks WiLD Conversation podcast episode, we explore the deep need for community—why we seek it, how we build it, and what it means for leadership. From childhood experiences with unconventional communities to forging lifelong bonds through intentional gatherings, we uncover the undeniable influence of being surrounded by people who challenge, support, and sustain us. Whether leading an organization, raising a family, or navigating life’s transitions, true community brings us closer to wholeness. Leaders thrive not in isolation but within intentional relationships that encourage growth, vulnerability, and trust.   Key Takeaways:✅ Community is about commonality, purpose, and shared experiences—leaders must foster environments where people feel a sense of belonging.✅ The best communities allow people to be as close to their whole selves as possible, cultivating trust, vulnerability, and deep connection.✅ Great leadership is built within strong communities—without them, leaders risk isolation and stagnation.✅ Building community requires courage, intention, and the willingness to invite others in, even when it’s difficult. Our Strategic Support Assessment (SSA) in our WiLD Toolkit builds your strategic network of support in real time. This includes mentors, role models, those who provide you with feedback, emotional support, and even those who may open a door when you are looking for a new opportunity.

    The Sacred Trade-Off: 10 Keys to Sacrifice, Self-Preservation, and Leadership Wholeness

In this episode, we unpack what it means to lead sacrificially without losing yourself, explore the tension between self-preservation and selflessness, and discuss how true sacrifice often involves letting go of what we hold most tightly. Through practical insights and relatable examples, we’ll challenge you to identify your "sacrificial line" and embrace the uncomfortable yet transformational moments that build trust, deepen relationships, and foster authentic leadership. Leadership Takeaways Sacrifice Isn’t All or NothingTrue leadership recognizes the balance between self-preservation and sacrificial moments—it’s not about giving everything up, but about making thoughtful, meaningful choices for the benefit of others. Awareness is KeyTo lead sacrificially, you must first identify what you hold most tightly—be it pride, comfort, control, or something deeply personal—and consider the cost of letting it go. Sacrifice is RelationalTrue sacrifice happens in the context of relationships. Whether in the workplace, with family, or friends, leadership often requires putting someone else’s needs above your own. Sacrifice Requires CourageSacrificial leadership invites vulnerability, humility, and the courage to act on the quiet nudges we often ignore—like putting down your phone or truly listening to someone else’s story.
