Ep. 32 Gratitude

Gratitude in leadership—simple to understand, profound to practice. On this episode of The Mentored Podcast, our seasoned mentors Carson Pue along with Chuck and Ingrid Davis, lead a heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation on the role gratitude plays in shaping exceptional leadership. Together, they unpack why gratitude is not just an optional quality but a transformative force that strengthens connections, builds trust, and inspires teams to thrive.

Our hosts bring their wealth of experience to the table, sharing real-world examples, fresh insights, and actionable steps you can take to make gratitude a core part of your leadership approach. Is gratitude the secret ingredient to enhancing team culture? How can small, consistent acknowledgements foster big results? Carson, Chuck, and Ingrid explore all this and more while asking the kind of questions that linger long after the episode ends.

Whether you’re leading in a boardroom, a classroom, or around the dinner table, this episode will challenge you to see gratitude not as a task but as a lifestyle. It’s time to rethink how a grateful heart can shape the way you lead. Let’s get started!

Ep. 31 Longevity in Leadership

Ep. 31 Longevity in Leadership

How do some leaders stay the course while others fall away?

Leadership isn’t just about vision—it’s about longevity. Stick-to-it-iveness. That ability to keep going, even when the road gets rough, the work feels thankless, and the “greener pastures” come calling.

This week on Mentored, we’re tackling the two sides of the longevity coin. Should leaders stay long enough to see real change, or does staying too long become counterproductive? What factors are causing a lack of longevity in leadership today? And how do calling, resilience, and holding out for the bigger picture all tie into the equation?

We dig into the challenges of staying the course, share hard-hitting truths about why so many leave too soon, and reflect on the importance of being called to something bigger than yourself—even when the results might not show in your lifetime.

If you’re a leader—young or seasoned—this episode asks the real questions: What’s keeping you grounded? What fuels your sense of calling? And are you giving yourself to something big enough?

Tune in for wisdom, humour, and plenty of encouragement to keep running the race.
