When an organization wants to achieve its goals, it needs a vision. Effective leadership starts with recognizing and outlining those goals and inspiring others to follow. Leaders paint a picture of how that vision will affect the company as a whole, as well as each individual. A leader's ability to articulate that vision into a mission statement corresponds to actively implementing goals and the company's bottom-line success.

Today guest, I had the pleasure of interviewing David Nicastro, CFE and CPP, a seasoned security professional with more than 40 years of experience specializing in physical security risk and vulnerability assessments. Dave is a published author and has appeared as an expert commentator on network news programs. He is an expert in Chemical and Petrochemical security operations management. As the President of Secure Source International LLC, Dave is focused on creating value for clients by consistently providing high-quality security services worldwide.

Following a distinguished career that took the former Marine Security Guard and member of the U.S. Secret Service from his post outside the U.S. Embassy in Beirut to the White House and, ultimately, into the highest echelons of corporate America, today, Dave is recognized throughout the security industry for his expertise in security risk mitigation and management. After government service, Dave joined an international security firm based in Washington, D.C., where he conducted vulnerability security assessments at Brown University, Ford Motors World Headquarters, Venevision, and many other vital facilities in the Americas and the Middle East.

Talk about over-achievement; let's dive in and talk about security and crisis management.

Today guest, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dave Komendat, a retired vice president and chief security officer for The Boeing Company, a role he held for 14 years of his 36 years within the security profession. Komendat was responsible for the company's global security and fire protection policy and procedures, site security, executive protection, supply chain and aviation security, structural and aircraft fire protection, government and proprietary information security, classified cyber security, strategic intelligence, international security, business continuity, and disaster preparedness, Global Security Operations Center, and security background investigations.

He represented Boeing as a past co-chairman and current board member on the Domestic Security Alliance Council, past President of The International Security Management Association, and a member of the Threats and Information Committee for the Overseas Security Advisory Council.

Talk about over-achievement; let's dive in and talk about what it takes to be a CSO.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Jonathan Ullman, President & CEO of The Mob Museum.

The Mob Museum is a 501(c)3 nonprofit in downtown Las Vegas, aiming to advance the public understanding of organized crime's history and impact on society. Reporting to a 21-member Board of Directors, Jonathan is responsible for leading the organization that has been named both a "Top Workplace" and "Best Museum" by the Las Vegas Review-Journal and ranked #20 on TripAdvisor's list of top museums in the United States.


Jonathan has spent over 20 years in various management and leadership roles within the nonprofit industry. Jonathan's museum career began at Liberty Science Center, New Jersey's most visited museum. He was intimately involved in the strategic planning and operationalizing of the facility following a $109 million capital expansion. Over the years, Jonathan served in numerous capacities with responsibilities including intensive staff management, program oversight, and external relations. Immediately prior to joining The Mob Museum, Jonathan was the president and COO at the National Soccer Hall of Fame, where he led the dramatic transformation of the organization's operating model.

Often, managing your time as a workplace leader means getting organized. A typical day as a workplace leader may start with 30-minute or one-hour blocks of meetings and conference calls. At other times, you will have to learn to say ‘no’ if employees want four hours to dive into the plans for an office party or reorganize teams for a creative project. At the end of the day, any of these strategies make it possible for you to manage your most precious commodity: time.   Leaders must make tough decisions when it comes to protecting, investing, saving, spending, and planning their time. However, this cannot be easy at times, and the key to success as a workplace leader is to communicate early with your co-workers. Once you learn to communicate and maintain time management measures, you will achieve freedom from deadline pressure and workplace stress in general.   Let's dive in.

There is a lot of literature about the importance of hiring the right people for your organization, but I have noticed there is less conversation about letting people go. It is unfortunate because the most important decision we make as leaders is not when to hire someone but rather when to fire someone. 

A leader's role is to protect the organization's viability and culture, which means sometimes letting people go who don't fit in.   

Let's dive in and discuss one of the most complex decisions that a leader might face.

What does it mean when certain people say failure is not an option? What does it mean to fail? The people who truly understand this statement don’t believe they won’t fail or can’t happen. In fact, not only do they fully realize that failure is very much an option, they understand it’s inevitable. 

That idea conveys that you should not stop at the first encounter of hardship. Failure is not an option because it’s not a stopping point. Instead, failure is a point which you can continue from and, more importantly, a place that can speed up the learning process on your path to success.  Let's dive in and discuss it further.

Every organization needs good leaders, especially when things get tough. So, it’s essential to keep developing your leadership skills and grooming the next generation of leaders.

Leaders are not born. They are forged through deep experience and have two overriding characteristics: They are consistently self-aware and always seek to improve their skills in leading people.

For technologists seeking to become better leaders or non-technologists seeking to lead better in cybersecurity (or a related technical field), let’s dive in and talk about the leadership skills every cybersecurity professional must have

It was Harry S. Truman who said, “Not All Readers Are Leaders, But All Leaders Are Readers.” Top business leaders often quote President Truman’s philosophy as one of their keys to success.   

Reading will open new opportunities for professional success. It’s the best and most efficient way to acquire and assimilate information. Reading can improve intelligence, increase vocabulary, increase communication skills, and improve a leader’s ability to work with and understand others.

Whether you are addressing a small group or behind a podium in front of hundreds, public speaking can be unnerving and downright frightening to some while seemingly innocuous.  For most people, public speaking does not come naturally. Good speakers are made, not born. Even those who seem to be naturally gifted speakers follow these simple rules of thumb: Prepare, Practice, and Personalize. 

People listen when you know what to say and how to say it. Find your powerful voice, and step into leadership. Speak with Impact.

Countless dollars and hours are invested annually in building and revising strategic plans. Some get placed on a bookshelf only to gather dust until it’s time to plan again. Others get started, but far too many projects fail to be fully implemented.  

Effective leaders understand that it requires more than building a plan. Structure and systems also play a considerable role and often dictate success. 

Strategic Integration challenges leaders to think beyond strategic planning and focus on essential elements for successfully implementing strategy.

Tips for Mastering the Art of Public Speaking: It allows us to form connections, influence decisions, and motivate change. Without communication skills, the ability to progress in the working world and in life, itself, would be nearly impossible. Public speaking is one of the most important and most dreaded forms of communication.

During a leadership crisis, the role of a leader shifts, and those that are truly great prioritize and respond to the needs of the people that follow them. If they get it right, they — and their people — will emerge stronger and more resilient than ever.

In today’s episode, we have a special guest Former Chief of Police Carmen Best, The first African American woman to hold the top policing job in Seattle, Washington. Carmen served in the Seattle Police Department for twenty-eight years.

Carmen Best speaks on diversity, inclusion, and leadership lessons learned guiding a police department during times of crisis.

Join us as we discuss our thoughts on the Leadership  crisis situations and lessons learned.

In today's episode, we talk about what is Stoicism? Who were the Stoics? How can you be a Stoic? We answer all your questions and more on this episode.
