Strong Leaders Serve with Teri Schmidt
The leadership podcast for people who are in leadership not for the status and power, but instead to use that status and power to turn potential into performance for positive change.
Hosted by Teri Schmidt, Leadership Coach & CEO of Strong Leaders Serve.
Each week we focus on supporting leaders who are dealing with the overwhelming realities of transitioning into and operating in roles where their success isn't just defined by their performance, but by the performance of their team.
Roles where they are responsible for building trust, promoting psychological safety, conflict management, taking care of their team member's wellbeing, motivating other humans, and managing up, all while trying to GET THINGS DONE.
Through solo episodes with focused and relevant leadership tips and inspirational interviews with seasoned leaders and experts, we help leaders get past their overwhelm to careers of courageous impact.
Listeners hone their skills in making their workplaces more compassionate and just through their leadership.

90. Leading Through Grief with Laura Jack
Have you experienced the loss of hopes dreams or expectations recently? Or do you lead someone who has? Then you're leading through grief.
In our culture of toxic positivity, we try to ignore or "at least" these feelings away. You're sad that you didn't get a promotion? "At least you have a job."
We may feel ill-equipped to support people through this grief, so we resort to platitudes like "I'm sorry for your loss."
This leads to disconnection and isolation, the exact opposite of what the griever needs.
Our guest today, International Best Selling Author, Speaker, Founder of The Compassion Code Academy™, and Trainer for The Grief Recovery Institute©, Laura Jack, demystifies leading through grief and provides simple, yet impactful ways that we can support those we lead.
