Eternal Leadership

Starting a new year and decade, most high energy and motivated leaders are ready to launch. Like the fighter jets John flew, they require a lot of fuel for a launch. What refuels you to stay healthy and energized? 

We talk about the rhythms we need to stay healthy to stay the course so we can land safely after the mission is complete. 

John shares his life story, recovery, and redefining normal life and work.  He shares about mental health for leaders and watching for the signs when we need help. He is a leader who lives on purpose taking every day as a gift.

Join me in a great conversation with Drew Martin about receiving the Holy Spirit, learning how to walk by the Spirit. And watching God move in who He is- the Way, the Truth and Life! As He speaks, releases His word and watches over it to perform it in the most influential medium of our time, the Media. 

We also discuss learning what it means to "give your life to Jesus". Not your talents or "giftings", not your work, not your life, or the representations of those things- your all.

John Ramstead has bounced back from multiple curveballs in life: an injury that derailed his award-winning fighter pilot career, failed startups and businesses, and a life-changing, near-death horse accident. This week we sit down with John to talk about his life lessons, from mentorship and learning from failure, to mindset changes and the power of second chances, all lessons that closely align with the mission of Colorado UpLift.

Devastating crucible experiences robbed him of his lifelong dream to be a Top Gun Navy fighter pilot and bankrupted the multi-million-dollar business he created years later. Then, just when John Ramstead thought he had his life back on track, a freak horseback-riding accident left him with crushed ribs, broken bones in his neck, a punctured lung, and a torturous 23 surgeries during a a 20-month stay in a traumatic brain-injury hospital. In this interview with Crucible Leadership founder and BEYOND THE CRUCIBLE host Warwick Fairfax, Ramstead shares that as physically and financially shattering as those moments were, the emotional toll was even more painful. It was only after finding hope through his reinvigorated faith that Ramstead was able to find his life’s calling: not striving to raise his profile, but working to raise the profiles of others. He now helps other leaders find their purpose through his coaching practice Eternal Leadership, hailed by Inc. as one of the top leadership voices in the country.

Dr. Goldman-Wetzler, who teaches a popular Columbia University course on conflict freedom, works to free people of conflict by banishing destructive habits like blaming themselves, blaming or avoiding others, or seeking to collaborate with people who refuse to cooperate.

To avoid getting stuck in an endless cycle or conflict loop, Dr. Goldman-Wetzler proposes a set of eight strategic practices, including: 

·         Increase clarity by mapping out the conflict 

·         Use your emotions as a catalyst for change; 

·         Select and design a pattern-breaking path, and 

·         Test your path by considering the impact of your actions.

Dr. Goldman-Wetzlerallows us to achieve conflict freedom with practical, step-by-step advice to tackle our toughest conflicts.
