|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5/19/26 |  False Harmony in Teams | A conversation with Admired Leadership Executive Coach and Partner Diana Hong and Wes Bender from CRA | Admired Leadership, exploring one of the most quietly destructive forces in teams and organizations: false harmony. Recorded from the road during graduation season, this session unpacks why people choose surface-level agreement over honest challenge, how leaders can spot false harmony before it derails a team, and what to do about it - whether you're the leader trying to create conditions for honest dialogue or the individual who's been afraid to speak up. Diana draws on real client examples, including a 7,000-person organizational change that stalled entirely because no one in the room was willing to say what they actually thought. | — | ||||||
| 5/8/26 |  The Three Signals Every Message Sends | A conversation with Admired Leadership Executive Coach, Jordyn Kreshover, and Wes Bender from CRA | Admired Leadership, exploring why the same four words - "come into my office" - can create completely different experiences depending on how a leader shows up. Drawing from communication research, the 2008 auto industry bailout hearings, and a recent client coaching example on delivering promotion news, this session reveals that every message a leader sends is simultaneously doing three things: advancing a task, projecting an identity, and signaling something about the relationship. Most leaders only plan for one. Jordyn provides a practical framework for becoming a strategic communicator who designs all three signals intentionally rather than leaving two of them entirely up to chance. | — | ||||||
| 4/24/26 |  Allocate Time in Each Day for Both Strategic & Tactical Work | A conversation with Admired Leadership Executive Coach John Schoew and Wes Bender from CRA | Admired Leadership, exploring why so many leaders default almost entirely to tactical work and what the best leaders actually do to protect and prioritize strategic thinking. Recorded from a Chick-fil-A in Tampa (Wes's most unconventional location yet), this session cuts through the buzzword fog around "strategy" to provide a clear, practical framework for understanding the difference between tactical and strategic work, why the pull toward tactical is so powerful, and four concrete disciplines for building strategic thinking into daily leadership. John draws on his background as a former Accenture partner and executive coach to make the case that 30 minutes of daily strategic thinking compounds dramatically over time. | — | ||||||
| 4/7/26 |  The Humility Myth | A conversation with Admired Leadership Coach & Partner Ben Stringfellow and Wes Bender from CRA | Admired Leadership, exploring why the popular understanding of humility is fundamentally wrong - and why getting it right is one of the most powerful things a leader can do. Opening with a story of a fraternity president candidate who declared himself "easily one of the most humble people I know," this session reframes humility not as withdrawal or self-diminishment, but as an active, behavioral choice to put others forward. Ben provides specific, practical ways to express humility while maintaining confidence and pride, and explores how the rise of AI makes authentic human humility more important, not less. | — | ||||||
| 3/27/26 |  Pressure is a Privilege | A conversation with Admired Leadership Executive Coach Emma Mufraggi and Wes Bender from CRA | Admired Leadership, exploring how to reframe pressure from something to suppress into a signal of privilege and preparation. Inspired by Billie Jean King's iconic phrase born in a Las Vegas locker room in 2000, this session reveals that great leaders don't feel pressure less - they meet it differently. Drawing from sports psychology research, elite athletic examples, and real client coaching experiences, Emma provides a practical three-step protocol for navigating acute pressure moments and three disciplines for managing the chronic, relentless pressure modern leaders carry every day. | — | ||||||
| 3/17/26 |  Learn to Speak in Headlines | A conversation with Admired Leadership Managing Director Kristen Fenty and Wes Bender from CRA | Admired Leadership, exploring how leaders can cut through complexity and communicate with the clarity that drives alignment and decision-making. Drawing from real client examples including a pharmaceutical marketing leader who carried a 63-slide deck to every meeting, this session reveals why expertise can work against you when you lead with it, and provides a practical framework for speaking in headlines that create clarity rather than confusion. Kristen shares specific coaching techniques for building the daily habit of headline thinking and navigating high-stakes moments from boardroom presentations to hallway conversations. | — | ||||||
| 2/20/26 |  In Search of Excellence | A conversation with Admired Leadership Managing Directors Matt Coyne and Mallory Stacey from CRA | Admired Leadership, exploring how to define, pursue, and sustain excellence in teams without burning people out. Drawing from examples ranging from Olympic athletes to Michelin-starred kitchens and the Chicago Bulls dynasty, this session reframes excellence not as an abstract marketing term or unattainable perfection, but as the consistent pursuit of the highest quality achievable within real constraints. Matt and Mallory provide concrete frameworks for building cultures of peer accountability, choosing where to focus limited energy, and using AI as a tool for growth rather than just efficiency. | — | ||||||
| 2/19/26 |  Leading with Resilience | A conversation with Admired Leadership Partner and Executive Coach, Diana Hong, as well as Executive Coach, Emma Mufraggi, and Wes Bender from CRA | Admired Leadership, exploring practical tools for building resilience in uncertain times. Recorded at a time optimized for their growing global community, this session reframes resilience not as a spare tire you pull out in emergencies, but as a skill set requiring daily preparation and practice. Drawing from examples ranging from Olympic gymnast Simone Biles to jazz musicians and European Ryder Cup teams, Diana and Emma provide concrete frameworks for moving from overwhelm to action, maintaining composure under pressure, and preparing teams to adapt forward when change inevitably arrives. | — | ||||||
| 2/10/26 |  Where Do You Stand with Your Leader? | A conversation with Admired Leadership Managing Director, Mallory Stacey and Wes Bender from CRA | Admired Leadership, exploring the critical framework of four levels of inquiry and trust that determines where you stand with your leader and how to strategically level up. Drawing from over 15 years of coaching leaders at organizations like Bank of America, Fidelity, and Morgan Stanley, this session provides a clear assessment tool for understanding your current standing and specific actions to strengthen the most important relationship in your career - the one with your leader. Mallory shares practical strategies for both self-awareness (knowing where you stand) and team awareness (leveling up those you lead). | — | ||||||
| 1/30/26 |  Be Conversational: Why Authenticity Beats Performance in Presentations | A conversation with Admired Leadership Coach, Dan Couladis and Wes Bender from CRA | Admired Leadership, exploring how to transform presentations from formal, anxiety-inducing events into authentic, engaging conversations. Drawing from 14 years of coaching everyone from MBA students to Fortune 100 C-suite leaders, this extended session reveals how the world of public speaking has fundamentally changed and provides a comprehensive framework for finding your natural speaking voice, building confidence, and keeping audiences engaged in an era of unprecedented distraction. Dan shares the precise techniques that separate good presenters from those who command attention and inspire action. | — | ||||||
