Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front

I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional unceded, un-surrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People. It’s been a long time, but I’m so excited to have a conversation with Necole Belanger, Retired Command Chief Warrant Officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Necole’s book, Pride Amid Prejudice, where Necole offers her story. This is a story about pride, frustration, happiness, anger, shame, joy, prejudice. Necole and I will talk about how her desire to serve her country, to make an institutional difference, led to her sacrificing her values, to allowing herself be silenced, all for the desire to make a difference.

Every leader chooses the type of leader they want to be. It’s a decision that will set our leadership journeys on a path of personal and professional discovery. The thing about this path is that it’s one we are constantly changing the direction of the path, hopefully being built in such a way to nourish and embolden ourselves and our team members. But throughout the entire journey, it’s our choice to be who we want to be that points us in our leadership direction. In this episode, Our 100th Episode!, You’ll hear from Margaret Wheatley, an author and teacher, who will talk about leadership and the kind of leader we can choose to be. Margaret will offer her insight into how emerging leaders can claim their leadership.

Our leadership journey is ours alone, but the path isn’t a straight line. In fact, your leadership journey will have high and low points. Your journey will have you questioning your abilities and pushing your self-confidence, and you know what? But also, your journey will be filled with moments of pride knowing you helped people, that you made a real, tangible difference in those you are lucky enough to lead. And you know what, all of this is absolutely ok. It’s your journey, and as long as you keep your mind open to learning and new possibilities, your path will take you exactly where you need to go. In this episode, you’ll hear from Erin O’Toole, a former Member of Parliament for Durham, ON, former leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, and RCAF veteran, who will share his leadership journey, offering what he has seen and experienced during multiple career and leadership pivots.

Emotional intelligence is a popular topic, and that’s because leaders are beginning to understand that we can make leadership decisions without knowing how we will emotionally react to our personal and professional decisions, thereby impacting ourselves, our teams, and our organizations. But, how can we be emotionally intelligent? Trench Leadership has explored this question in the past, but it’s such a broad and diverse topic that in this episode, I’ve decided to try and break up the topic into smaller, bite-size pieces. In this episode, you’ll hear from Ashley Valliére, a body specialist and mentor, who will talk about the connection between our physiological and psychological responses.

It’s the LIGHTNING ROUND!!!! Every guest is asked five fun and insightful leadership-related questions, offering an insight into themselves and how they perceive leadership today and into the future. Imposter syndrome, perseverance, the self-imposed push to rush, perseverance, and resilience.... these are just a few of the many challenges we face while we are trying to work through organizational goals, all the while continuing to manage our teams and our projects. The thing is, in the moment, we often didn’t realize the value and learning of challenges we were experiencing, much less take the time to reflect and appreciate all of the things we had on our radar, and how they have shaped us. In this episode, you’ll hear from Mark Bentz, a fellow Canadian, a business owner, Paralympian athlete and renowned speaker. Mark will offer his story, relating how his personal journey has shaped him both personally and professionally. Mark will also explain how he has learned to use what used to be on his radar to help him understand what’s on the scope right now.

We’ve all been part of amazing teams, the ones that we dream about being part of, often reminiscing about the “good ole days”. And we’ve had the opposite, being part of teams that we’d run away from, disregarding any amount of money to avoid being so unhappy. In this episode, you'll hear from me, Simon Kardynal, your host, where we’ll talk about the power of happy leaders and happy teams.

Imposter syndrome, perseverance, the self-imposed push to rush, perseverance, and resilience.... these are just a few of the many challenges we face while we are trying to work through organizational goals, all the while continuing to manage our teams and our projects. The thing is, in the moment, we often didn’t realize the value and learning of challenges we were experiencing, much less take the time to reflect and appreciate all of the things we had on our radar, and how they have shaped us. In this episode, you’ll hear from Mark Bentz, a fellow Canadian, a business owner, Paralympian athlete and renowned speaker. Mark will offer his story, relating how his personal journey has shaped him both personally and professionally. Mark will also explain how he has learned to use what used to be on his radar to help him understand what’s on the scope right now.

Partnerships are how we thrive, professionally and personally, allowing for deeper levels of trust and confidence in each other. And at the top levels of organizations, few partnerships are more integral to success than the relationship between the executive assistant and the C-suite executive.

Now, that’s all great, but, how emerging leaders examine these teams? Well, I have good news, in this episode, my dear friend, author, executive coach and mentor, Bonnie Low-Kramen, joins us to help emerging leaders dissect the EA/C-Suite partnership, helping us understand how these teams are so highly effective.

How often have you met a new hire and asked yourself, “Who hired this person, and why?” Well, I have news for you, as the leader, this will be you. You will hire people that won’t work out, and your team will question how and why you chose this person. But, most often, it’s not your fault because new leaders very rarely, if ever, receive any type of training or education to select new hires. And so, in this episode, you’ll hear from Mark Herschberg, chief technology officer, MIT instructor, author of The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills That No One Taught You, and creator of the Brain Bump app, who will delve into hiring methods to assess potential candidates, identifying their strengths and weaknesses to ensure the strongest team possible.
