This podcast is for individuals who are ready to engage their heart, mind and soul in growing themselves and others to:Think positively, Live healthy, Build faith, Read more, Stay strong, Work hard, Network well, Worry less, Love always… AND Lead Uncommonly! In a fun interview format I will be engaging leaders from various walks of life who have a great story to tell and experience or have experienced similar challenges that we face every day. We will banter about relevant topics in Leadership through fun conversation and dialogue. We will examine current subjects and events and introduce simple, yet impactful steps you can take to make a difference… all in less than the time of your commute, your lunch, your workout or your walk to 10,000 steps a day! I might even sneak in some solo podcasts on those topics that I encounter with my coaching and consulting clients.

Hey Uncommon Leaders welcome back – Today is a special day, as you'll be hearing from a very unique voice – my son, Joseph Gallagher. I've been holding onto this recording, waiting for the perfect time to share it with you all. You see, Joseph is a man marked by passion – passion for rock climbing, passion for his new wife, Amy, whom he just married this past weekend and a deep passion for his relationship with Jesus. One of the things about the wedding that impacted me the most was when Joseph’s friends shared stories about their friendship over the years with Joseph.  The common theme… Passion!Joseph is currently a Staff Associate for the Young Life Organization in Boulder, CO, where he has a burden to see a movement of students come to know the Lord in Boulder.This episode comes nearly two years to the day after his first official sermon in Boulder, Colorado, so  It's not your typical leadership talk, but if there's anything I've learned, it's that the Uncommon often hides in the not-so-typical. So, imagine exhibiting the kind of passion Joseph displays in his sermon  in your daily work. What could that make possible? The answer is straightforward: Uncommon marriages, uncommon friendships, and an uncommon impact in business and in life. So, get ready for an experience as we dive into this episode packed with passion, faith, and a perspective only Jo-Jo Gallagher can bring. Thanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.

Hey Uncommon Leaders! Welcome back for Episode 88. In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with my good friend, and Senior Director of Continuous Improvement for TE Connectivity,  David Campbell. Known for his insightful perspectives, David discourses on a seemingly simple yet profoundly intricate subject - Culture.David proposes a captivating view of culture, relating it fundamentally to an organization's behaviors and core values. With his belief that these core values are a constant variable in the corporate equation, he prompts us to reflect on the alignment between our personal values and corporative ones. He advocates for continuity between these two aspects, emphasizing their influence on culture.Interestingly, he derives that our daily habits significantly shape our behaviors and, by extension, the culture we interact with or create. He draws attention to the captivating cycle of influence our habits have on our overall behavior, leading to a resonating conclusion, "If you change your habits, you ultimately can change your culture." This episode is charged with intriguing insights that will make you rethink your understanding of culture and its construction. As you tune in, prepare to challenge your perception of habits, behaviors, and values, and their consequent influence on the overarching company culture.Connect with David on LinkedInThanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.
