Leadership, Hand-Dipped with Rod Holt (Global Leader Group) : What chocolate, mistakes, and generosity teach us about leading teams.

In this special holiday episode, I sit down with my brother Rod to explore how a simple family tradition, hand-dipping chocolates reveals powerful leadership lessons. Together, we unpack what mistakes can teach us, why generosity builds trust, and how intentional rituals create belonging and stronger teams. It’s a reminder that leadership isn’t about grand gestures, but small, consistent acts done with care.

As we close, we also want to acknowledge that this time of year can be hard. Many people are navigating job loss, uncertainty, or transition. If that’s you or someone you know—Rod and I would love to help. We’re offering a few complimentary coaching sessions where you can think out loud with us and get support during this season. The first eight people who reach out to us on LinkedIn will be set up for a session. And if you know someone who could use this right now, please share this episode with them.

Small things really do make a big difference.
