735: Trust Is the Strategy: How Leaders Retain Top Talent in a Changing World with Glen Guyton, Futurist, Certified Speaking Professional & Author of The Art of Harmonious Trust
Mar 600:44:53Tap to summarizeIn this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with Glen Guyton—futurist, leadership strategist, and author of The Art of Harmonious Trust—to explore why trust is not a soft leadership concept, but a measurable performance strategy. Glen's work sits at the intersection of trust, employee retention, and future-focused talent development. Drawing from his experience across military, nonprofit, and corporate systems, Glen explains why competitive pay, perks, and policies often fail to retain high performers—and what leaders must understand about trust if they want people to stay, grow, and contribute at their highest level. Throughout the conversation, Glen introduces the concept of harmonious trust and breaks down how it differs from traditional conversations about culture. He shares the patterns he's observed in organizations that retain the right people—not just retain people—and the critical role direct supervisors play in engagement and quiet quitting. He also connects retention to skills development, workforce disruption, and future-ready talent strategy. This episode is a powerful reminder that organizations don't lose people because of change—they lose people when trust erodes during change. Leaders who build trust intentionally don't just improve morale—they create sustainable high performance. You'll Learn: Why trust is a performance strategy—not just a leadership value The real reason high performers leave even when compensation is competitive What "harmonious trust" means and how to build it The connection between skills gaps and employee retention How supervisors directly influence engagement and quiet quitting Early warning signs that commitment is slipping One practical habit leaders can implement immediately to strengthen trust Episode Resources & Links Learn more about Glen Guyton: https://www.glenguyton.com/ Order The Art of Harmonious Trust: https://www.glenguyton.com/ Download our 2025 Confidence Crisis Study: https://confidencestudy.com/ Request a Free Mental Breakthrough Call with Dr. Cindra or her team: https://freementalbreakthroughcall.com/ Learn more about the Mentally Strong Institute: https://mentallystronginstitute.com/

734: Everyday Mentorship: The Leadership Skill That Builds Culture and Confidence Ted Ma, Leadership Strategist & Author
Feb 2600:41:29Tap to summarizeIn this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with Ted Ma—leadership strategist, researcher, author, and keynote speaker—to explore what truly separates average leaders from exceptional ones. Earlier in his career, Ted built and led a sales organization of more than 6,000 people across North America. But through that experience, he began asking a deeper question: What actually makes leadership sustainable, impactful, and human? That curiosity led him to study mentorship, trust, confidence, and culture—and to develop the concept of Everyday Mentorship. Throughout the conversation, Ted explains why leadership isn't about titles or authority—it's about the small, daily behaviors that build trust, confidence, and performance over time. He breaks down the "DNA" of high-performing teams, why culture is a true competitive advantage, and the common misconceptions leaders have when trying to shift culture. Ted also shares research-backed insights on what drives engagement and retention, the mental barriers that limit leadership confidence, and practical ways leaders can begin building stronger cultures immediately. This episode is a powerful reminder that high performance doesn't happen by accident—it's built intentionally, one conversation and one courageous leadership decision at a time. You'll Learn: What Everyday Mentorship really means—and why it matters now more than ever The DNA of high-performing sales teams Why culture is a competitive advantage (not just a buzzword) The biggest misconception leaders have about changing culture Research insights on trust, confidence, and engagement The mental barriers that limit leadership growth One practical framework leaders can implement immediately Episode Resources & Links Learn more about Ted Ma: https://realtedma.com/ Download our 2025 National Confidence Study: https://confidencestudy.com/ Request a Free Mental Breakthrough Call with Dr. Cindra or her team: https://freementalbreakthroughcall.com/ Learn more about the Mentally Strong Institute: https://mentallystronginstitute.com/

Oct 22, 2018Tap to summarize"You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself." Jim Rohn High performers know they need to take 100% responsibility for everything in your life. They embrace E + R = 0. They ask themselves, how can I take just 5% more responsibility for my life. They realize its not what other people say to them that matters, it is what they say to themselves matters. They give up blaming and complaining. They take control of their life and drive it!
