The Crossroad Podcast: Redefining Effective Leadership

S 2 Ep 4: Values Based Choices

In this episode of The Crossroad Podcast, Joey and Kylie get into the heart of good decision-making. Understanding our values is the key to making consistent choices. All of our decisions are a byproduct of a value proposition. If we are not clear about our deepest and truest values, we will borrow what others say is important, what the popular culture deems worthy, or some superficial/short-term manifestation of what matters most. Naming values, truly, can help give confidence, clarity, and consistency to our decision-making.

S 2 Ep 3: Who Has The Power To Decide

In this episode of The Crossroad Podcast, Joey and Kylie discuss one of the most popular coping mechanisms we introduced in the last episode - borrowing choices. To avoid our own decisions, we often try to take on the choices of others. It is safer, the consequences are a little further away. Joey and Kylie will discuss the three things you can control and the difficult but vital practice of focusing on your own choices.

S 2 Ep 2: The Prevalence of Choices

In this episode of The Crossroad Podcast, Joey and Kylie talk about the prevalence of choices and some of the ways we cope with this incessant reality in our lives. Many of the times, we make our decisions without even knowing why (or that we are making them!). Other times, we hide or run from choices, enacting any number of coping mechanisms to try to avoid the power and responsibility that comes from making a decision. Yet, even avoidance is a choice. How can we begin to face choices with courage and intention?

S 2 Ep 1: The Power of Choices

In this episode of The Crossroad Podcast, Joey and Kylie introduce our Season Two topic: choices. We are all decision-making entities. We make thousands, if not millions, of choices every day. Setting up for the rest of Season Two, Joey and Kylie talk about the power of choices, how they shape and mold our character, and how they impact our ability to lead, influence others, and affect the world around us.

S 1 Ep 14: Effective Communication

In this episode of The Crossroad Podcast, Joey and Kylie quickly recap the tools and ideas from season one, with special attention to how they intertwine and work together. Communication is the great connector, the arteries for life and leadership, that allow us to share understanding and synergize effort. The tools for effective leadership are with us and in us, but it is up to each individual to do the hard work of putting them into use.

S 1 Ep 13: Steps of All Sizes

In this episode of The Crossroad Podcast, Joey and Kylie discuss the practical methods by which we live out the framework of life. These practicalities nest within one another to help propel us further toward our ultimate vision. Through goal setting, reaching milestones, and intentional strategizing, we make our Transcendent There more accessible. It all begins with just one intentional step.

S 1 Ep 12: The Proper Use of Emotions

In this episode of The Crossroad Podcast, Joey and Kylie talk about one of the most important elements of leading yourself and influencing others: the proper use of emotions. Our patterns of thought and behavior are working hard to reinforce themselves. But this is not always the best course. By learning how to acknowledge and address our emotions without giving them ultimate authority in our lives, we can better work towards the visions we have established.

S 1 Ep 11: Conflict Resolution

In this episode of The Crossroad Podcast, Joey and Kylie discuss the different ways we can approach, handle, and resolve conflict. When we are seeking truth together, conflict is inevitable. That is not a bad thing, just a reality we have to navigate. What are the different ways we can resolve conflict and when it is best to use each? How can conflict actually be a helpful and productive experience? What does it look like to truly “win” a conflict? Join our hosts as they explore these questions and more.

S 1 Ep 10: Seeking and Sharing Truth

In this episode of The Crossroad Podcast, Joey and Kylie talk through the difficult process of seeking and sharing the truth. Whether you are leading yourself or others, a commitment to the truth must be your guiding light. Seeking and sharing truth allows us to be individuals pursuing a shared mission together. In this episode, we explore what motivates us and what keeps us from fully exploring the truth together.

S 1 Ep 9: The Three Things You Can Control

In this episode of The Crossroad Podcast, Joey and Kylie discuss perspective and control. The only way to escape victim mentality is to change one of the three things you can control. Although we try hard to control the choices of others and the circumstances around us, the truth is there are only three things we can control. By taking ownership of these, no more and no less, we step into a life of intention, freedom, and purpose.
