    Christian MM Brady: Calling, Courage, and the Future of Higher Education
    2026/04/02
    In this episode, Kevin and Christian MM Brady discuss:Patience, empathy, and the “superpower” of leadershipMentorship, feedback, and StrengthsFinder in leadership developmentDiscernment of calling vs. chasing titles and positionsScripture interpretation, rabbinic literature, and ethical decision-makingThe future of higher education, training vs. education, and student callingKey Takeaways:Patience formed through hardship can become a powerful leadership asset, especially when balancing institutional demands with real human struggles like grief, illness, and immigration challenges.Leadership is often discovered gradually through community discernment and mentorship rather than by aggressively pursuing titles or positions.Strong mentors help people identify and cultivate their strengths instead of obsessing over weaknesses, while also being honest about limitations that need to be acknowledged or minimally improved.Distinguishing between education and training is critical: not everyone needs a four‑year degree, and true student success comes from aligning strengths, passions, and callings with the needs of the world.To lead well and avoid burnout, it’s essential not to take every criticism personally, but to discern what truly belongs to your role and remain grounded in your responsibilities and values.“Your calling is where your deep passion meets the world's deep needs.” – Christian MM BradyAbout Christian MM Brady:Dr. Christian M. M. Brady is a transformational administrator, scholar, and author who became Wittenberg University’s 16th president on June 1, 2025. In his first months, he launched a strategic planning process, forged new recruitment pipelines, secured leadership-level gifts, and helped renew a sense of hope across the Wittenberg community. In his Opening Convocation address, “Hope,” he argued that hope “is not simply a belief or an attitude; it is the first action we must take in any endeavor.”Before Wittenberg, he founded and led the Lewis Honors College at the University of Kentucky as the T. W. Lewis Dean, growing it to more than 2,400 students and leading a $50 million campaign. He also served as interim dean of the UK’s College of Arts & Sciences, managing an $81 million budget, 440 faculty, 19 departments, and nearly 7,500 students. Previously, he transformed Penn State’s Schreyer Honors College into a national model for excellence, tripling applications, increasing selectivity, and raising more than $80 million.An expert in ancient Hebrew and Jewish literature, Dr. Brady has published widely and held leadership roles in organizations including the Society of Biblical Literature and the International Organization for Targumic Studies. He holds degrees from Cornell University, Wheaton College Graduate School, and the University of Oxford, and serves as an Episcopal priest and Canon Theologian in the Episcopal Diocese of Lexington.Connect with Christian MM Brady:Website: https://www.wittenberg.edu/administration/president | http://christianbrady.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christianbrady/ 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

  • Kenny Stoddart: Building an Iron Mind to Turn Adversity into Leadership Strength

    Kenny Stoddart: Building an Iron Mind to Turn Adversity into Leadership Strength
    2026/03/26

    In this episode, Kevin and Kenny Stoddart discuss:

    • IronMind mentality and leadership
    • Adversity, cancer, and using hardship as a building block
    • Burnout, overachievement, and mental health
    • Personal transformation and career pivot
    • Practical pathways to an iron mind for everyday people

    Key Takeaways:
    • Adversity can become fuel for growth. Hard experiences—like illness, addiction, or major setbacks—can be reframed as building blocks that deepen resilience and strengthen leadership, rather than life-ending events.
    • An “iron mind” is built, not born. Mental toughness isn’t just for elite performers; it’s a learnable mindset rooted in grit, preparation, and facing challenges head‑on instead of avoiding them.
    • Ignoring burnout has real costs. Continually pushing through stress without addressing root issues leads to slow, silent decay in health, performance, and relationships; leaders must recognize and respond to early warning signs.
    • Real transformation often begins when you stop relentless self-criticism, acknowledge your struggles honestly, and choose to treat yourself with compassion while you do the hard work of change.


    "If we want to start somewhere, how about a little grace – whether it's in the mirror or whoever, give yourself a pat on the back for the things that you are doing right." – Kenny Stoddart

    Dr. Mohamed Abousalem: Leading From Vision to Delivery
    2026/03/19
    In this episode, Kevin and Dr. Mohamed Abousalem discuss:End-to-end leadership: from vision to execution and deliveryBuilding connected, non-siloed teams (especially post-COVID)Intentionally shaping organizational culturePutting the right people in the right roles (fit vs. “best person”)Navigating new leadership roles and career pathsKey Takeaways:Leadership isn’t just big-picture vision or day-to-day execution; it’s carrying responsibility for both, building accountable teams, and focusing relentlessly on delivering outcomes together.Culture doesn’t happen by accident; leaders shape it on purpose. Values, norms, and behaviors must be intentionally designed, revisited, and reinforced—otherwise, a default culture may form that does not support the organization’s goals.The “best” person is the one who fits the context, not just the top performer. Connection is the antidote to silos and misaligned expectations. Whether stepping into a new leadership role or developing team members, intentional human connection—listening, understanding people’s motivations, and being transparent about expectations is essential for trust and performance."As a leader, as a successful leader, you have to invest in connecting with your team. And I'm not saying you need to be friends with them, not at all, not at all, but you need to know them as people." – Dr. Mohamed AbousalemAbout Dr. Mohamed Abousalem:Dr. Mohamed Abousalem (/æ-bu-SÆL-əm/) is the third president of Keck Graduate Institute, beginning his tenure on July 1, 2024. He brings decades of executive experience across nonprofits, private industry, and academia, all centered on advancing research, innovation, and technology-driven solutions.Before KGI, he served as the inaugural Vice President for Research and Innovation at San José State University, where he grew the research enterprise from $47M to $84M in five years and launched a comprehensive innovation strategy supporting student, faculty, and alumni entrepreneurs. He previously led UC Santa Cruz’s technology transfer and entrepreneurship efforts, doubling annual invention disclosures and helping launch incubators and startup accelerators. Earlier, as the founding CEO of TECTERRA, he oversaw more than $40M invested into startups and applied research, generating over $325M in economic impact.Trained as an engineer, President Abousalem’s early scholarship focused on GPS-based satellite positioning and navigation. He holds a BS in civil engineering (Alexandria University, Egypt), MS and PhD in geomatics engineering (University of Calgary, Canada), and an MBA from Santa Clara University.Connect with Dr. Mohamed Abousalem:Website: https://www.kgi.edu/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohamedabousalem Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keckgradpres Expanding career pathways for community college students directly into the doctorate of Pharmacy program to become retail, clinical, or industry pharmacists - an impactful social mobility pathway for community college students:https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7404233522917466112 https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7375923325325234177 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
