    • What really happens when people do not feel heard
      The role of “unofficial leaders” and why they often hold more influence than those with titles
    • Simple actions that transform culture and strengthen trust inside any organization
    • How self-awareness, breath work, and authentic leadership help leaders break old patterns and step into their purpose

  • Master Storytelling to Transform Your Leadership! | guest: Hailey Evans

    Master Storytelling to Transform Your Leadership! | guest: Hailey Evans
    2025/11/27
    From food stamps to keynote stages, Hailey Evans has lived the kind of story most leaders are afraid to tell. In this powerful episode of The Leadership Toolkit, Mike Phillips sits down with Hailey, an award winning storyteller, marketing strategist, and creator of the EPIC Communication Framework and EPIC Storytelling App.Hailey opens up about becoming a mom at 17, walking through bankruptcy, infidelity, missions work, her ex husband’s addiction, and a traumatic brain injury that took her out for two years. In the middle of all that, she wrote her way into a new future, earning $52,000 in scholarships and grants, completing three degrees including an MBA, and discovering the storytelling skills that now help leaders all over the world.You will hear how she went from hating “marketing” to realizing that great marketing is simply great storytelling, why most leaders do not have a marketing problem, they have a storytelling problem, and how her EPIC framework helps you engage, persuade, inspire, and close in a clear, repeatable way.Mike and Hailey also talk about faith, resilience, and why the worst things you have walked through may be the very reason people trust you, follow you, and find healing through your scars. If you want to communicate with more clarity, get better results from your emails and content, and move people to action, this conversation is a masterclass.🧰 Tools of the Trade: Top Takeaways You Can Use1️⃣ Stop asking “Why me?” and start asking “What’s next?”When things go sideways, shift from victim mode to forward mode. That one question moves you from stuck to leading.2️⃣ You do not have a marketing problem, you have a storytelling problem.Before you redesign a logo or launch a new campaign, ask if your story is clear, human, and compelling. Fix the story first.3️⃣ Use the EPIC Framework in everything you communicate.Engage with a hook, Persuade with story, Inspire with vision, Close with clear next steps. Apply it to emails, talks, posts, and sales conversations.4️⃣ Consistency plus story beats complexity every time.Hailey’s “Transformation Tuesday” emails worked because they showed up every week with one clear story. Pick a rhythm, pick a theme, and stick with it.5️⃣ Faith and attitude are leadership multipliers.Foundation in faith plus a disciplined attitude kept Hailey moving through bankruptcy, brain injury, and betrayal. As a leader, you cannot always control the storm, but you can control the spirit you bring into it.Contact Information:Hailey EvansWebsite and links: HaileyEvans.comBooks: EPIC Impact: How to Turn Your Message Into a Movement and Rewrite the Story That Tried to Break YouEPIC Storytelling App waitlist and resources: EpicStorytelling.aiMike PhillipsEmail: ⁠⁠⁠⁠mike@TheLeadshipToolkit.com⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin.com/in/LeadTheTeam⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: ⁠⁠@LeadershipTLT⁠YouTube: ⁠YouTube.com/@MikePhillipsCredits:Hosted by Mike PhillipsProduced by The Leadership Toolkit TeamGuest: Hailey Evans, Master Storyteller & Communication AficionadoWatch more episodes of the Leadership Toolkit at https://spotify.TheLeadershipToolkit.comIf you enjoyed this episode please consider leaving a 5-star review!Make sure you share this as a resource with friends and colleagues.

  • What Is The Secret to Better Leadership? Listening | Guest: Oscar Trimboli

    What Is The Secret to Better Leadership? Listening | Guest: Oscar Trimboli
    2025/11/19
    In this episode of The Leadership Toolkit, Mike Phillips sits down with award-winning author, keynote speaker, and Deep Listening podcast host Oscar Trimboli to explore what it really means to listen as a leader. Oscar shares the pivotal boardroom moment at Microsoft that sparked his quest to “code” how the world’s best listeners operate and explains why the difference between hearing and listening is always found in the action you take afterward.Drawing on research with over 35,000 people, Oscar and Mike unpack the neuroscience of listening and why most leaders only ever engage with about 14 percent of what their people truly think and mean. You will hear practical, high-impact questions you can start using right away, including “What will make this a good conversation” and “How long have you been thinking about this,” along with simple prompts like “Tell me more” and “And what else” that help people move past their first, surface-level answer.Oscar also breaks down the difference between showing up “in service” to the conversation and slipping into a “servant” mindset that quietly burns leaders out. If you want to move beyond simply hearing words and start listening for meaning, this conversation is your roadmap.🧰 Tools of the Trade: Top Takeaways You Can Use1️⃣ Hearing vs listening: Hearing is momentary, but listening happens before, during, and after. The proof you listened is always found in the action you take.2️⃣ The 14 percent rule: We speak at 125–150 words per minute but think near 900. The first thing someone says is only about 14 percent of what they mean, so leaders must create space for a second, deeper expression of the idea.3️⃣ Questions that shift conversations: Asking “What will make this a good conversation” or “How long have you been thinking about this” helps people reveal what they actually mean and think more deeply, instead of jumping straight to solutions.4️⃣ Service vs servant leadership: Showing up in service moves the conversation forward. Showing up as a servant overplays empathy and turns work meetings into therapy, which is not healthy or sustainable.5️⃣ Great leaders build listening cultures: Good leaders get people to listen to the speaker. Great leaders get teams listening to each other, multiplying ownership and freeing the leader from being the constant center.6️⃣ Silence is the hidden key: Silent and listen share the same letters. Pausing, holding silence, and using prompts like “Tell me more” or “And what else” help people move past their first 14 percent into deeper meaning.Contact Information:Oscar TrimboliEmail: podcast@oscartrimboli.comLinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/oscartrimboli⁠Website: https://www.oscartrimboli.com Listening Quiz: https://listeningquiz.comMike PhillipsEmail: ⁠⁠⁠⁠mike@TheLeadshipToolkit.com⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin.com/in/LeadTheTeam⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: ⁠⁠@LeadershipTLT⁠YouTube: ⁠YouTube.com/@MikePhillipsCredits:Hosted by Mike PhillipsProduced by The Leadership Toolkit TeamGuest: Oscar TrimboliWatch more episodes of the Leadership Toolkit at https://spotify.TheLeadershipToolkit.comIf you enjoyed this episode please consider leaving a 5-star review!Make sure you share this as a resource with friends and colleagues.Thank you for watching and listening!* Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed by guests on this show are solely those of the guest(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the host, producers, or any affiliated parties.
