  • Lamell McMorris: The Power to Persist: 8 Habits of Resilient Leadership

    Lamell McMorris: The Power to Persist: 8 Habits of Resilient Leadership
    2025/09/11

    About Lamell McMorris:

    Lamell grew up on Chicago’s South Side, navigating challenges and learning early that persistence isn’t just a mindset—it’s a necessity. From there, he built Phase 2 Consulting and now advises Fortune 100 executives, civic leaders, and organizations working to bridge public, private, and nonprofit sectors.


    His journey inspired The Power to Persist: 8 Simple Habits to Build Lifelong Resilience, and the podcast of the same name. Both explore how we can lean into struggle, turn setbacks into setups, and live a life of impact.


    In this episode, Kevin and Lamell McMorris discuss:

    • The roots of resilience and work ethic from childhood experiences
    • Why vulnerability strengthens leadership and connection
    • Faith as both a guiding principle and a lived practice
    • The role of servant leadership in building trust and influence
    • Eight habits that sustain leaders through adversity and success


    Key Takeaways

    • Work ethic isn’t just about putting in hours—it’s about persistence, resilience, and refusing to give up even when circumstances are stacked against you.
    • Vulnerability in leadership is not a weakness; it’s a doorway to deeper trust and stronger relationships within teams. A leader who shares struggles invites authenticity in return.
    • Faith serves as both compass and fuel. By believing in possibilities that can’t yet be seen, leaders are able to make courageous decisions in moments when logic alone might say “stop.”
    • Leadership is best expressed through service. When leaders model humility and prioritize serving others, they become approachable and authentic.
    • Failure is not the opposite of success — it is part of it. Mistakes, missteps, and hard lessons often contain the most powerful opportunities for growth, if leaders are willing to face them with honesty and reflection.


    "Everyone can lead because everyone can serve." – Lamell McMorris

It requires genuine care, regular personal check-ins, and intentional human connection, which becomes especially critical in remote work environments where isolation can quickly erode team morale.Effective delegation goes beyond simply assigning tasks. It needs a nuanced understanding of both personality compatibility and specific skill sets to ensure that support staff can seamlessly integrate into and enhance existing team dynamics.Successful leaders must consciously challenge their control impulses, learning to trust their team members and create systems that enable staff to handle administrative responsibilities with minimal micromanagement.Regular disconnection from work is not a luxury but a necessity, providing leaders and team members the mental space to recharge, spark creativity, and prevent professional burnout through intentional periods of rest and reflection."Be open-minded and learn from people's experiences versus thinking you know it all." – Jana FranklinConnect with Jana Franklin: Website: https://ceoconcierge.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jana-franklin-10177/ Connect with Kevin Neal:Website: https://drkdneal.com Book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0C47RZDSS https://www.amazon.com/Guided-Greatness-Mentorship-Developing-professionals-ebook/dp/B0FGBH1VNSEmail: coachkd63@gmail.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachkd63

  • David Bellar: Servant Leadership: Building Bridges Through Genuine Connection

    David Bellar: Servant Leadership: Building Bridges Through Genuine Connection
    2025/08/28

    About David Bellar:

    David Bellar is a dynamic leader at the intersection of faith, education, and service. He is the President and CEO of Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University — a role that combines academic leadership with a deep commitment to the mission of forming compassionate, purpose-driven professionals.


    He is not only a seasoned educator and visionary administrator, but he’s also a thought leader when it comes to aligning institutional excellence with enduring values. With a background that spans science, research, and mission-focused leadership, Dr. Bellar brings a rare blend of intellect, heart, and humility to everything he touches.


    Under his leadership, FranU is not only preparing students for careers — it’s forming leaders for life. Whether it’s in healthcare, ministry, or the broader marketplace, his impact is echoing far beyond the classroom.


    In this episode, Kevin and David Bellar discuss:

    • How coaching experiences shape servant leadership principles
    • The power of listening and genuine connection in building partnerships
    • Navigating career transitions with purpose and faith
    • Why understanding institutional dynamics matters in leadership
    • The transformative impact of mission-driven education on future professionals


    Key Takeaways

    • Coaching taught more than strategy — it became the blueprint for leadership. From motivating athletes to navigating team dynamics, those early lessons built a foundation for guiding diverse groups toward a common goal, both in sports and in academia.
    • Curiosity is a leader’s renewable energy source. The leaders who keep asking questions, seeking perspectives, and exploring possibilities are the ones who stay relevant, innovative, and able to navigate complex challenges with creativity.
    • Life seasons require intentional pivots. What works in one chapter may not fit the next, and leaders thrive when they’re willing to adapt.
    • Ambition is powerful, but without balance it can quietly erode the very relationships that give life meaning. Choosing to prioritize family is not a compromise — it’s a leadership decision that sustains long-term well-being and effectiveness.
    • Mentorship is leadership multiplied. Every time a leader invests in developing others, they plant seeds of influence that continue to grow and bear fruit long after their direct involvement ends.


    "Spend more time with the people. Spend more time, you know, building relationships and then plan." – David Bellar
