If you’re like most leaders, there is something about your life you want to change, but you’re having a difficult time changing it. Every year you may experience the same frustrating cycle of trying to change but not actually changing.
I believe you have the power to change your habits and your life for good. That’s why I wrote The Power to Change: Mastering the Habits That Matter Most.

8 minutes in, and already gotten so much value from your interview with John Maxwell - "Get over yourself" - This is a word of confirmation for me. - "we can't serve people if we're worried about ourselves". Thank you for for serving value through your podcast and many other avenues - we're blessed!

[@brianchoate2556]

This is amazing! I have been taking so many notes! I am a retired teacher of 32 years. I am seeking a second career. What you all did for me today was you gave me hope, a plan and a direction. I feel encouraged, empowered and excited on this new journey. Thank you John and Craig

[@elainebriers5641]

Above and beyond helpful. It’s all about putting the people first. Not me and not what I want to say. It’s about connecting. Thank you.

[@melissashinkle7400]

I am in a really rough patch today. God's Providence led me to start this up today while working and to listen as I have plugged through my morning duties. My daughter's name is Hope. I nearly got engulfed into my work, having unintentionally zoned the podcast out, until I heard my daughter's name. When Maxwell defined and elaborated on the concept of hope, I clung to everything he shared and will be meditating on those points. Thank you Pastor Craig and thank you Mr. Maxwell.

[@ProphetKevinSong]

So good! Solid, effective communication principles coupled with practical applications. Have been blessed by various John's materials over the years, praise God for him to obey the call of God on his life. Many blessings to you both you 🙏

[@nanyongajayan2664]

This was very incredible. Thank you. Watching from Uganda 🇺🇬

[@FriendsinWonderland]

one of the best episodes / interviews ...where both the host and interviewee quote each other's work, contribution, and have deep respect for one another's material, content, area of expertise and what they have to offer in the moment and future...

[@user-mu8bi2sg7d]

When you said "We have a stay at home mom who's starting a business, and she feels overwhelmed" it hit me so hard. I started an online community for moms and have been trying to take an active leadership role in it so we can all grow together and tonight...I kinda bombed a video presentation. Thank you for doing these videos and making them accessible to "beginning leaders" like me. I am going to keep learning and growing and getting better so I can better serve our group and all the moms there can feel loved and supported.

[@joslypierre-louis479]

Hey Pastor Groeschel! I love your podcast and tune into past conversations almost every day! I always walk away with so much information. I wanted to add a suggestion! I am eagerly waiting to see interviews with more representation. I would love to see myself in the leaders you bring. I walk through society as a black woman. So to see examples that represent my walk as a growing leader would truly be a blessing!

[@jkaimbie869]

48:30 "Effective communication brings others into action" a profound statement! Thank you

Thank you John and Craig. Thanks for the transformative information shared in this podcast. I am a seminary teacher, a pastor, and a leader within my church organization. Next year will make me 40 years in ministry. What I have learned from this podcast has given me a new perspective of life and ministry. People be me or content. What a great concept.
