Resilience - Overcoming Setbacks

“Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” ― Nelson Mandela

 Gayle Turner shares stories of his parents’ commitment to one another and his father’s response to unexpected obstacles.

 Obstacles are but inconveniences when approached with clarity of mission and vision.

Spend some time reflecting on why you do what you do. Is there a higher purpose? Are you committed to it? What’s the story you’re telling yourself as to what is or isn’t possible for you?

Start making notes about how you can get from where you are now, to where your life’s mission is calling you. Don’t avoid it, don’t procrastinate, do this now!

Stories Matter! - How Leaders Use Storytelling to Build Values-Driven Cultures

Stories Matter: How Leaders Use Storytelling to Build Values-Driven Cultures

What if the most powerful leadership tool isn’t strategy—but story?

On Stories Matter, hosts Gayle Turner and Shelli Jost Brady explore how leaders use storytelling to shape behavior, instill values, and build strong, values-driven cultures.

Leadership comes down to three essential actions:

  • Initiating change
  • Sustaining change
  • Growing leaders

While change can be managed through systems and processes, growing leaders requires something deeper—the intentional development of values.

And values are not taught. They are modeled and reinforced through story.

Each episode features accomplished leaders sharing real stories they’ve used to:

  • Communicate clear direction
  • Model values in action
  • Influence behavior and decision-making

Grounded in the neuroscience of how humans learn and adopt behavior, this podcast reveals why storytelling is one of the most effective tools for leadership communication and cultural transformation.

If you are a leader who wants to:

  • Strengthen your leadership communication
  • Build a values-driven culture
  • Grow leaders within your organization

This podcast will give you the insight—and the stories—to do it.
