What happens when leaders stop listening?

In this episode of the Lead with Legacy™ Podcast, Amanda C. Chambers, Dr. Jim Chambers, and Sloane Lott of IOL Global sit down with Dr. Casey LaFrance for a powerful and deeply insightful conversation on leadership, communication, and the true cost of not listening.

Drawing from real-world experience in government, academia, and organizational consulting, Dr. LaFrance introduces the concept of “Listening for Value”—a practical and strategic approach to leadership that goes far beyond surface-level communication.

Together, they explore:
• Why organizations lose their best, mission-driven people
• The “law of increasing conservatism” and how it impacts leadership
• How generative AI is creating a new “printing press moment”
• The hidden cost of miscommunication across systems and teams
• Why veterans don’t lack skill—but often lack translation into civilian language
• How failing to listen can lead to massive organizational mistakes
• The role of grace, humility, and vulnerability in leadership
• Why not every problem needs a solution—sometimes people just need to be heard

This conversation is both deeply human and highly practical—offering tools, frameworks, and mindset shifts that leaders can apply immediately.

If you want to lead with clarity, build trust, and create lasting impact—this episode is for you.

Lead with Legacy is the official podcast of IOL Global, where we explore leadership that outlives titles and trends.

Through conversations with faith-based and marketplace leaders, we discuss integrity, conviction, courage, and purpose — the kind of leadership that leaves a lasting legacy.

In this episode, host Amanda C. Chambers is joined by Tanya Boyd, Director of Creative Collaboration for Project Success Academy.

Tanya shares her journey from disaster recovery after Hurricane Katrina to leadership roles across government, healthcare, marketing, and technology. Drawing from her experience with PMI, global speaking, and creative leadership, she unpacks what people truly need when there is no clear playbook.

In this conversation, we explore:

Why confidence and having a champion can change the trajectory of a career

How leaders regain footing during uncertainty and overwhelm

The role of communication preferences in modern leadership

Why fear, burnout, and rapid change impact teams more than we admit

How creativity, storytelling, and humanity belong in project leadership

What it means to empower people through education rather than entitlement

This episode is for leaders navigating complexity, change, and ambiguity — and for anyone who wants to lead with courage, clarity, and purpose.
