Welcome to a special two-part episode of the Mentored Podcast, where we gather to explore life’s most profound lessons and uplift each other through the power of shared experiences. Today, we delve into a topic with profound timeliness and poignancy – grief and loss. Since the passing of our dear friend Martin on January 8, 2024, this theme has taken on a newfound significance, reminding us of the fragility of our time here on Earth.

Though brought together by friendship and a shared passion for mentoring leaders, Carson and Martin also share an unfortunate common experience of losing their wives prematurely. The impact of their losses has been profound, and in facing this truth, they’ve realized the profound wisdom in not numbering our days. This realization has become the driving force behind creating this podcast series to share their wisdom in case one day they are not here to do so. In the recordings, you will hear how they embrace the full spectrum of life’s experiences and bring light to the shadows of loss that touch us all.

In today’s episode, part one, we aim to uncover the transformative power of discussing loss in the context of mentoring. By exploring this deeply human experience, we believe we can offer insights and wisdom that will resonate with leaders and individuals who seek to grow, heal, and better themselves.

So join us as we venture into this sacred space of shared understanding, reflection, and hope. Let’s embark on this journey together, knowing that our stories of grief and loss can become beacons of empathy and inspiration for all those who seek solace and growth in the face of adversity.

Hello everyone, welcome to a special mini-episode of Mentored. I’m your host, Carson, and today, we have an episode that was hard to record and is very close to my heart. We’re here to honour the memory of a man who has made an indelible impact on our lives, our leadership journeys, and the world. Today, we remember my friend and cohost, Dr. Martin Sanders and share his sudden passing on January 8, 2024.

Dr. Sanders was not just a mentor to many; he was a catalyst for change and a visionary in the truest sense. As the founder and president of Global Leadership Inc. since 1995, he dedicated his life to nurturing leaders across the globe, fostering character growth, and sowing seeds of transformation in over 30 countries.

His role as Director of the former Alliance Theological Seminary doctoral program further showcased his commitment to leadership development. His wisdom, compassion, and unwavering faith left an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to cross paths and study with him.

I remember once, during one of our many conversations, Martin said something that’s remained with me. He said, ‘Leadership is about being intentional. It’s about shaping character, not just skills.’ He lived and led by this principle, and it’s a sentiment that’s echoed throughout our Mentored podcast series.

So even though Martin is gone from us in this world,

As we remember Martin, we also look ahead, committed to carrying on his legacy. Mentored Podcast will continue and over the coming episodes, we’ll continue to delve into the principles that Martin held dear – character development, intentional growth, the soul of leaders. We will still be able to hear that unique voice as we share stories, anecdotes, and insights that help mentor leaders. In this way we get to reflect on the lessons he’s left us with.

Finally, I want to take a moment to say how much I appreciate that we were able to capture a year’s worth of episodes with Dr. Sanders on Mentored. His teachings, his wisdom, his laughter – they are with us, forever encapsulated in these episodes, and we hope they continue to guide and inspire you as they have us.

So, join us today as we remember, reflect, and celebrate the life of a truly remarkable man and my close friend, who has now joined his beloved Dianna and is cheering us on from a heavenly vantage point. – Dr. Martin Sanders.”

Good day, and welcome to another episode of the Mentored Podcast. I’m your host, Carson Pue, and today we’re diving into a topic that is as timeless as it is pertinent. We’re talking about the art of mentoring across generations, the subtle nuances that often go unnoticed, and the unique dynamics that come into play when guiding both men and women on their leadership journeys.

Before we delve into the heart of our discussion, I want to take a moment to honour my dear friend and co-host, Martin Sanders, who passed away after a short illness at the beginning of January 2024. This episode marks our first without Martin’s physical presence, but it’s also our first step towards preserving his legacy. Each word spoken, each laugh shared, each nugget of wisdom dispensed – they are all a testament to Martin’s enduring impact on our lives.

Today, as we embark on this episode of the Mentored Podcast, we honour Martin’s memory and his unwavering commitment to growth and transformation. We seek to preserve his voice, his wisdom, and his laughter, so that future generations can continue to benefit from his profound insights.

Martin was a beacon, a guiding light for so many of us. He had a knack for making complex ideas feel like comforting chats by the firepit. His insights were always sprinkled with just the right touch of humour. And his faith… oh, his faith was as steadfast as a lighthouse in a storm, guiding all who sought wisdom and solace.

In today’s episode, we’ll explore the fascinating twists and turns of mentoring men and women across different generations. From understanding the subtle preferences of Gen Z and Millennials, to appreciating the unique perspectives of Baby Boomers and Gen X, we’ll unfold the layers of this intriguing subject.

We’re going to dive deep, folks. We’re going to tap into Martin’s wisdom, his experiences, and stories. We’re going to laugh, reflect, and perhaps even shed a tear or two. But most importantly, we’re going to learn.

So, my friends, let us gather around the digital firepit. Grab your favourite beverage and perhaps a cigar, and let us open our minds and hearts to receive the lessons, stories, and delightful humour that Martin shared with us. As we dive into the topic of mentoring across generations, let us remember the importance of understanding the subtleties and nuances that may go unnoticed. And most importantly, let us carry forward Martin’s legacy by embracing warmth, intelligence, and wit in all our endeavours.

Welcome to Mentored with Carson Pue and Martin Sanders, the podcast that equips leaders for success through coaching and mentoring. Today, we delve into a thought-provoking topic that lies at the heart of developing leaders: Affirmation, Confirmation, and Validation.

As leaders, we understand the importance of guidance and support. In this episode, we explore how these three powerful elements can elevate our leadership capabilities, unlock hidden potential, and pave the way for impactful decision-making.

Affirmation lays the foundation for confidence and self-belief. It empowers us to embrace our strengths and acknowledge the unique value we bring to the table. By recognizing and appreciating our own abilities, we can inspire and motivate those around us.

Confirmation is a compass guiding us through the intricate maze of leadership challenges. It validates our actions, ensuring that we stay on the right course and make sound decisions. Through the wisdom of experienced mentors and coaches, we gain the assurance and clarity needed to navigate complex situations with grace.

Validation, perhaps the most profound aspect of leadership, speaks to the significance of our efforts and the impact we have on others. It fuels our passion, reminding us that every step we take matters. When we receive validation, whether from our team, our peers, or even ourselves, it affirms our purpose and drives us to lead with authenticity and intentionality.

Join us as we uncover practical strategies to integrate these principles into our leadership journey.

Enjoy this thought-provoking conversation between Carson Pue and Martin Sanders, two remarkable voices in the world of leadership and mentoring. They are delving into the importance of self-awareness—a quality they believe is absolutely crucial for effective leadership.

You see, when leaders are self-aware, they can understand their role better, empathize with others, and as a result, achieve better team results. It’s like having a mirror that not only reflects who you are but also how you impact those around you. Pretty powerful, right?

But here’s the kicker—Pue and Sanders pointed out that despite its importance, many leaders seem to lack this essential trait. It’s like trying to navigate a ship without a compass—you might get somewhere, but it probably won’t be where you intended to go.

So, what’s the takeaway here? If you’re in a leadership position (or aspire to be), take time to develop your self-awareness. Reflect on your actions, ask for feedback, and be open to growth. Because ultimately, understanding yourself is the first step to understanding others—and that’s what makes a leader truly great.

Isn’t it fascinating how a little introspection can lead to such profound change? We’d love to hear your thoughts on this!
