    Becoming Trustworthy—The Connection We Are All Missing with Dr. Rob McKenna and Sabeth Kapahu

    Trust isn’t just built between people—it begins within us. In this episode of WiLD Conversation Podcast, Dr. Rob McKenna and Sabeth Kapahu unpack the critical connection between trust, self-awareness, and worthiness. According to the Relate Project research 41% of young adults don’t feel worthy of love. What does that mean for leadership, relationships, and the way we build trust? Trustworthiness isn’t something we declare or demand—it’s something we live into. It’s about reliability, consistency, and truth-telling, not just in our words but in our actions. In this conversation, Rob and Sabeth explore: 🔹 How our sense of self-worth impacts our ability to trust others 🔹 Why distrust thrives in the shadows—and how to bring it into the light 🔹 The role of failure in becoming trustworthy 🔹 Why trust must be built before it can be earned Trust isn’t just about believing in someone else—it’s about knowing ourselves well enough to lead with integrity. Whether you’re leading a team, navigating relationships, or just trying to find solid ground, this episode challenges you to look inward first. WiLD Leaders is excited to announce our State of Trust at Work report—an in-depth look at the data, insights, and actions that can help leaders like you cultivate trust in your sphere of influence.

    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. In addition, the SSA allows you to build a core group of individuals who will serve as your personal advisory board.   Want to learn more?

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

    Sacrificial leadership isn’t about giving up everything—it’s about thoughtfully considering the personal costs necessary to live in alignment with your values and serve those around you. 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.
