    S5E166 🎙️LIVE with CAPT John “JC” Carter, USN (Ret.) The Loudest Sound Is Silence: Leadership Lessons from the Bridge to the Boardroom ⚓🫡 Leadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZ — Season 5:Episode 166 Mark your calendars 📅 Tuesday, August 11, 2026 ⏰ 12:30 PM PT (San Francisco, CA) | 3:30 PM ET (Newtown, CT) 📍 LIVE on LinkedIn → [RSVP & Join the Discussion] 🌟 Meet My Guest Captain John “JC” Carter spent 30 years serving our nation in the U.S. Navy, specializing in surface warfare and nuclear propulsion and ultimately commanding three Navy ships: USS Salvor (ARS-52), USS Roosevelt (DDG-80), and USS Bataan (LHD-5). He also served as Reactor Officer aboard the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69).  After retiring from the Navy, JC took those hard-earned leadership lessons into corporate manufacturing, education, executive coaching, and entrepreneurship. Today, he is the founder of the Leadership Bridge Institute, where he helps organizations bridge the critical gap between being a great technical expert and becoming an exceptional strategic leader. His Bridge Method™ emphasizes Assess → Train → Perform → Review, connecting leadership development to real-world application. JC is also the author of The Loudest Sound Is Silence: Leadership Lessons from the Bridge to the Boardroom—a powerful collection of leadership lessons forged aboard U.S. Navy warships and translated for leaders everywhere. One of his principles stopped me in my tracks: “The loudest sound in any organization is often the sound of what no one is saying. Learn to hear it.”  🔥 That is leadership! ⚓ What You Will Learn… ✨ Why great leaders ask before they order—and distinguish defiance from confusion. ✨ Why “Rank Is Not Truth” and the most junior person may see something the leader cannot. ✨ Why JC once fired his best Sailor—and what that teaches us about culture, standards, and toxic high performers. ✨ Why leaders need the courage to say “I was wrong” and own it first. ✨ How to build a culture where people feel empowered to “Question Up” and tell senior leaders what they need to hear—not simply what they want to hear. ✨ Why leaders sometimes need to throw away the plan while holding tightly to the mission. ✨ How Commander’s Intent empowers people to think, adapt, and lead: “Instructions create followers. Intent creates leaders.”  ✨ How to recognize dangerous organizational silence—and create the psychological safety necessary for people to speak up. ✨ How leaders make the transition from technical expert → strategic leader, from solving every problem themselves to developing teams capable of solving problems without them.  💬 Join the Conversation! 🗺️ Where are you tuning in from? Drop your city, region, or country in the comments! 🙏🏽 What is one thing you are grateful for today? 💬 Got a leadership, command, culture, coaching, or career question for JC? Post it below—we will answer your questions LIVE! ⸻ 👇 Your Turn: ➡️ What are your three takeaways from this episode? ➡️ What is one leadership insight you will apply this week? ➡️ And perhaps the most important question: What isn't your team telling you—and have you created an environment where they feel safe enough to tell you? ➡️ Tag a colleague, junior officer, senior enlisted leader, emerging executive, or teammate who could benefit from this conversation. ❤️🙏🏾 Mission FIRST. People ALWAYS. ⚓🫡 #LeadershipAndSuccess #CoachBZ #Leadership #TheLoudestSoundIsSilence #JohnJCCarter #USNavy #NavyLeadership #Veterans #LeadershipDevelopment #ExecutiveLeadership #ServantLeadership #PsychologicalSafety #Accountability #CommandersIntent #Culture #ExecutiveCoaching #FITS

    S5E164 VIDEO🎙️LIVE with BG Twanda E. Young, USA (Ret.)

    S5E164🎙️LIVE with BG Twanda E. Young, USA (Ret.) Leadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZ | Season 5:Episode 164 🇺🇸 Dare to Lead Differently What happens when a leader has the courage to look in the mirror, listen before speaking, choose conviction over applause, and develop people others may overlook? Join me for another powerful episode of the Leadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZ featuring BG Twanda E. Young, USA (Ret.). General Young brings more than three decades of distinguished military and civilian leadership experience. During her Army career, she led at increasingly consequential levels, including serving as Deputy Commanding General of U.S. Army Human Resources Command. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she led a team of more than 3,500 people while helping execute the Army's Retiree Recall mission during an extraordinary national crisis.  Today, she continues developing the next generation of leaders through teaching, coaching, writing, and LT3 Leadership Solutions. And this conversation is going to get personal. 📚 We'll dedicate part of our discussion to her bestselling book, Dare to Lead Differently: Chew on This...16 Bites for Bold Leaders, exploring self-leadership, courage, authenticity, resilience, and the people who recognize our potential before we recognize it ourselves. We'll also explore leadership lessons from her contributions to four additional books—including: ✨ The Perfection Trap — When does striving for excellence become destructive perfectionism? ✨ When Silence Speaks Louder Than Words — General Young discovered during COVID that intentional silence could surface unheard voices, de-escalate conflict, and create space for better decisions.  ✨ The Leader in the Mirror — What happens when a senior leader discovers that she may be the leadership problem? General Young shares a remarkable command experience that forced her to confront the difference between intent and impact.  ✨ Built on Conviction, Not Applause — Can you continue doing what is right when recognition, approval, and applause disappear? 🗓️ MARK YOUR CALENDARS! 📅 Tuesday, August 11, 2026 ⏰ 10:30 AM PT — San Francisco ⏰ 1:30 PM ET — Charlotte 📍 LIVE on LinkedIn → [RSVP & Join the Discussion] 🎯 What You Will Learn ✨ Why leadership begins with self-awareness, not rank or title. ✨ How to recognize and escape the perfection trap. ✨ Why great leaders sometimes need to stop talking and create space for others to be heard. ✨ How humility and accountability can actually strengthen leadership authority. ✨ Why every leader needs people willing to hold up an honest mirror. ✨ How to remain grounded in conviction rather than applause. ✨ How one person believing in someone's potential can change the trajectory of a life. 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION! ✨ 🗺️ Where are you tuning in from? Drop your city, region, or country in the comments! ✨ 🙏🏽 What is one thing you are grateful for today? ✨ 💬 Got a leadership question for General Young? Post it below—we'll answer as many as we can LIVE! 👇 YOUR TURN ✨ What are your three takeaways from this episode? ✨ What's one leadership insight you're applying this week? ✨ Tag a colleague, junior officer, emerging leader, mentor, or teammate who could benefit from this conversation. ❤️🙏🏾 Who was your “Mrs. Woods”—the person who believed in you before you fully believed in yourself? And perhaps the more important leadership question: Whose Mrs. Woods will you become? #Leadership #LeadershipDevelopment #DareToLeadDifferently #BoldLeadership #SelfLeadership #WomenInLeadership #MilitaryLeadership #USArmy #Veterans #Mentorship #ExecutiveLeadership #LeadershipAndSuccess #CoachBZ
