In this episode of The Coach Matthew Mitchell Show, Coach Mitchell wraps up the Honesty series by unpacking what it means to lead with honesty in your actions — because real leadership isn’t about what you intend to do, it’s about what you actually do.

Through a personal story from his days coaching at the University of Kentucky, Coach Mitchell shares how a simple issue with punctuality became a powerful lesson in integrity and consistency. You’ll learn three practical ways to live out honesty through your actions:

1. Organization & Planning – Because honest action starts in your calendar.
2. Respect Through Punctuality – Showing up on time shows others they matter.
3. Follow Through & Communication – Keeping your word builds trust faster than any speech ever could.

Coach Mitchell reminds us: “Your team hears what you say, but they believe what you do.”

If you want to build a life and leadership defined by trust, this episode will help you close the gap between good intentions and honest action.
