Resilience, Strategy & Global Thinking in 2026 — Podcast

What if the biggest strategy lessons this week didn't come from a Harvard case study — but from a brain surgery recovery, a Canadian jet deal, and a church in Uganda? [PAUSE] Here's what's wild about right now in the coaching and consulting world. Leaders are overwhelmed by uncertainty — markets are shaky, client trust is harder to earn, and everyone's looking for an edge. This week's global headlines, from private equity aviation deals to personal resilience stories, are actually a masterclass hiding in plain sight. If you know how to read between the lines, the news is never just news. [PAUSE] First — Onex Corp., a Canadian private equity firm, just agreed to acquire AirSprint, Canada's largest fractional jet operator. This is the same firm that bought WestJet in 2019. Their move isn't about waiting for perfect conditions. It's about spotting underleveraged assets and repositioning them for maximum impact. That's not just PE strategy — that's what you need to do with your own practice, your offers, your brand. The question isn't whether the market is perfect. It's whether you're positioned to move when the window opens. [PAUSE] Second — Gogglebox star Shaun Malone posted from his hospital bed after brain surgery. Transparent. Open. Honest. And that's the lesson. Resilience isn't about projecting strength — it's about the courage to say where you actually are while still moving forward. As Rita Broussard of Unlimited Global Ventures, LLC puts it, the fastest-growing leaders aren't the ones who never struggle. They're the ones who refuse to let the struggle define the ceiling. [PAUSE] Third — Uganda's government just launched a nationwide ethics campaign through churches and mosques to rebuild integrity from the community level up. Why does that matter to you? Because culture isn't built in policy documents. It's built in daily choices. The consultants and coaches winning right now aren't just selling frameworks — they're modeling integrity in every client interaction, every deliverable, every conversation. [PAUSE] Here's your one action item today. Look at your current service offering or client roster and ask yourself honestly — where am I underleveraged? Where am I playing small because conditions feel uncertain? Write down one specific repositioning move you could make this quarter. That's it. One move. Then commit to it.
