The Coach's Corner

Walking into the Ring of Life (Why You need a Strong Corner): Being Interviewed by Patrice Bonfiglio of The Burnout Club

Loneliness is rising, burnout is spreading, and many of us are carrying emotional weight we rarely name. Whether it’s at work, in our relationships, or in the quiet corners of our own minds, people are struggling to stay grounded in a world that keeps pulling them in every direction.In this episode, I step into the guest seat — joined by host Patrice Bonfiglio of The Burnout Club — to explore the emotional habits and inner narratives that shape how we show up. I share how engineering, theology, sociology, and leadership all converge in my work, and why simplifying the complex matters for people trying to navigate the ring of life.We talk about workplace loneliness, identity, parenting, relationships, burnout, and the Script–Soul–Story framework that helps you rewrite your inner narrative. We also explore why Gen Z and Gen Alpha are hungry for purpose, why high capacity people burn out quietly, and how reflection helps us see ourselves and others more clearly.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to stay grounded when life feels heavy, this conversation is for you.To learn more, visit:https://www.linkedin.com/in/denleymcintosh/Listen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/denley-mcintosh/

Say What You Mean. Mean What You Say: How to Practice Integrity

Integrity. We want it. We expect it. But do we practice it?Have you ever felt betrayed by someone whose words didn’t match their actions? Or been promised something that never came to pass? That sting of disappointment isn’t just about broken commitments—it’s about broken character.Integrity isn’t simply about being good—it’s about being whole. It’s the alignment of speech, spirit, and follow-through. “Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’”— I recall the ancient words of Jesus of Nazareth. Integrity what makes someone trustworthy, not just talented.In this episode, we’re diving into the art of integrity: what it means to be untouched, unbroken, and unwavering in character. We’ll unpack its ancient roots, examine how trust has eroded across politics, workplaces, and homes, and explore how Gen Z and Gen Alpha are quietly leading a return to values that matter.So let’s talk about how to say what you mean and mean what you say—because when your words build trust, your actions build legacy.To learn more, visit:https://www.linkedin.com/in/denleymcintosh/Listen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/denley-mcintosh/
