Rising Above the Storms: Leadership Lessons with Mike Barkley

What does it take to lead with purpose, inspire others, and thrive in today’s fast-changing world? In this episode, I talk with Mike Barkley—author of Above the Storms, corporate leader, and military veteran—about finding your leadership voice, overcoming challenges, and creating a positive impact.

We discuss:
✅ How to navigate a five-generation workforce
✅ Why servant leadership inspires more than commands ever will
✅ The power of journaling for clarity and growth
✅ How to lead authentically (and why it matters)
✅ Turning every experience—good or bad—into a growth opportunity

Whether you’re a new leader, entrepreneur, or someone who simply wants to make a bigger difference, this conversation will give you tools and inspiration to rise above your own storms.
