  • S2.E11. From College Hoops to Global Impact: Eric Coblentz on True Leadership
    Jul 24 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    In a captivating episode of "The Conviction of a Leader," host Beau Vincent features his brother-in-law, Eric Coblentz. As a seasoned leader who shares a rich background and experience behind missionary works, Beau and Eric start an insightful dialogue into Eric’s journey. From playing college basketball to his time spent in Haiti and Indonesia, Eric offers insight into his leadership. The most prominent goal is the necessity of self-awareness and reflection in effective leadership. Indeed, Eric discusses the way leadership is recognized in different countries, as well as the need to adjust his style.

    The episode takes an emotional turn when Eric recounts a time in Indonesia and life-threatening event that made him feel alone and desperate during the recovery period. Beau and Eric, guided by the memory of this event, discuss the importance of leading through one’s suffering. Specifically, how a leader is to use his struggles to transform them into lessons and maturity. Finally, the episode concludes by discussing the essence of leading not by fear but through love.

    Listeners are recommended to remember the inevitability of change and how profoundly fear of loss accompanies them. The leader’s role is to convert these fears into growth opportunities. Thus, this episode concludes with Eric’s explanation that leadership is not leading yourself but others towards creating long-lasting good. Young leaders are encouraged to be afraid but use it to discover their character, follow their cause, and lead with love.

  • S2.E10. Evolving as a Leader: Stephanie Riggins Story of Growth and Success
    Jul 17 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Join us for an inspiring episode of "The Conviction of a Leader" as we walk through the unbelievable journey of Stephanie Riggins, a career changer from secretary to award-winning agency owner. Stephanie's story is one of relentless hard work and determination. Coming from fairly humble beginnings, she has worked her way up in the insurance industry until, in 2020, at the peak of the COVID-19 global disaster, she was able to launch her own agency.

    Her personal mantra, "What you believe you can achieve, you will," has been the foundation of success in life. In this episode, she's going to show how she built a culture of abundance and work-life balance into the agency where accountability lives in concert with success.

    We will address how critical accountability and leadership are to the growth of business. Stephanie gets very candid as she explains how she evolved as a boss that could only delegate tasks to now being a true leader, one who inspires and motivates her team. We discuss all the most common myths regarding team building—including why patience is so important to this process, why development never stops, and even the value of role players over top performers.

    We will also go into the practicalities of such challenges as work-life integration, which for many people is considerable, and discuss the isolation that can come with leadership. Stephanie gives advice from her heart, which will challenge leaders to love the journey, be content in the process, but yet grow.

    Listen to some of the powerful insights of Stephanie Reagan on how you, too, can create a thriving and balanced work environment while leading with conviction. This is a jam-packed episode with wisdom and advice for anyone aspiring to be a good leader!
