In this episode of Torch Talk, Lindsey Chupp sits down with Rodd Welker, leadership coach and founder of Eagle Advisor Group, for a practical conversation about developing leaders, strengthening teams, and improving performance through intentional growth.
Rodd shares over 35 years' worth of insights from working with organizations across industries and leadership levels. The conversation explores common challenges leaders face today, including communication breakdowns, lack of trust, and navigating conflict. Rodd explains why these issues are less about systems and more about people, and why self-awareness is the starting point for real progress.
They also dive into the tools Rodd uses in his coaching, from behavioral assessments like DISC and Working Genius to trust and team evaluations. Beyond the tools, Rodd emphasizes the importance of reflection, feedback, and creating environments where teams can have honest conversations and grow together.
This episode offers a grounded, experience-driven look at leadership development, especially for leaders who want to move beyond surface-level fixes and build stronger, more effective teams over time.
