    Gilbert & Ashley are both warm, positive, and fun as co-hosts! The content is always interesting and thought-provoking, great to process with others! The Townsend Leadership Program content itself is so practical for those who want to lead effectively and in a well-balanced regard, and this podcast is a great addendum / complement!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

089 | Dr. Lorraine Gordon: Redefining Advocacy in Mental Health
Q: So as you know, you're working at this hospital, you're doing all this great work. What kind of drew you into focusing on this, and especially, you know, advocacy within the coaching or counseling field here?
She explains that counseling, supervision, teaching, research, leadership, and advocacy are pillars of her profession, with advocacy being innate and rooted in personal history and experiences—demonstrated through her work in hospitals, communities, and churches, and through mentoring students to do meaningful advocacy work.
055 | Dr. John Townsend: The Book Writing Process
Q: How do you balance engaging storytelling with informative, research-backed content?
He emphasizes learning from great books in the genre to understand engagement versus information, using stories and practical takeaways to illustrate points, and ensuring that technical or non-fiction works include enough narrative elements to keep readers engaged without sacrificing credibility.
055 | Dr. John Townsend: The Book Writing Process
Q: What is your typical process when you start a new book?
John Townsend explains a four-part approach: a brainstorming day to extract the core idea, a highly detailed outline with chapters and purposes, a block of time away to solidify the structure, and then a disciplined writing phase where content is expanded around the outline while staying true to the big idea.
068 | Chris McFarland: Leadership Pivots
Q: How do you integrate Townsend Growth Model into an organization and address roadblocks within teams?
Assess how teams are performing and how they connect, then use the Townsend Personal Relational Assessment Tool (TPRAT) to identify relational and character data points; guide leaders to lean into these insights to improve collaboration and results.
068 | Chris McFarland: Leadership Pivots
Q: What advice would you give to leaders who feel stuck in their vocation or life, and how should they move forward?
Be curious to uncover what caused the stuck feeling, allow yourself to be stuck for a time if needed, and take one small step forward without worrying about perfection; consistency and momentum matter more than immediate perfection.
