Founder & Chief Guide, Guided Ventures Group, Georgia

I was honored to collaborate with Jeff on Chat with Leaders.  Even in our prep call his authentic and honest style brought out some of my stories that I rarely share around being a terrible leader in my early days of leadership. That discussion sparked a new aspect of “storytelling” I am now using with clients and it began with our prep call and the podcast. I have been on other podcasts and radio programs over the years and Jeff’s professionalism including social media artifacts and f Read more

Vicki Flier Hudson

Chief Collaboration Officer, Highroad Global Services, Georgia

Over the last several years I have been shifting my work to include more depolarization, helping people to dialogue across opposing views. Being on the podcast gave me a forum to express the ideas I’m most passionate about, and also then to share the podcast on LinkedIn. This helped establish me even further as a trusted resource in the area of conflict management. Chat With Leaders was so professionally run. From the initial contact with Jeff to the recording session to the social media prese Read more

Being a new nonprofit that transitioned from a national brand, it was important to establish our own identity and create an environment that sees us as a viable business rather than something that would fizzle out.

We thought we were going to have a conversation about all things work related, but we ended up diving deep into our values and how they relate to the work we're doing at our startup in a raw, authentic conversation. Grateful that Jeff was candid about his own life and family values even during our interview- we learned a lot from him even though we were the ones he was interviewing. Jeff is a cool dude.

I’ve had a lot of opportunities to participate in Podcasts, but Chat With Leaders was both unique and special.  Jeff has a way of drawing out the big topics – things that matter.  It’s not a podcast about business, it’s a podcast about life with a business backdrop.  Even in the preparation for our session, I was challenged to look at the big picture.  Instead of looking at our time together as a task, in retrospect, I view it as an opportunity to get smarter.  Chat With Leaders is Read more
